The Trump Administration is trying to define us trans folk out of existence- but we DO exist, we HAVE existed, and we sure as hell will CONTINUE to exist! Please, make sure you get out and vote, bring attention to trans voices, and support us wherever you can!

Our civil rights are at stake- by their own words, they believe inclusive policies “wrongfully extend civil rights protections to people who should not have them.” Please read this article on the proposed revision of the legal definition of gender!

HOW TO SPEAK WRITER: 

  • “my characters have a mind of their own!” – no i’m not mad and yes i know i made them up but i have no idea what’s happening anymore please save me
  • “i’m going to write today!” – i’d actually rather wash the garden path but the house is already pristine and i’ve run out of excuses
  •  “this is still a rough draft so go easy on me!” – i have spent what feels like forever pouring my very soul into this but i worry it’s terrible and if you’re mean i may just cry
  • “i’ll update soon!” – this is utterly killing me, i don’t know how to read anymore, what are words, help 
  • “i just had this idea and had to share it with you guys!” – this has taken me three weeks and countless hours please love and appreciate it
  • “feedback appreciated :D” – please, i live for validation! i need comments!! 
  • “I’ve got writer’s block” – I know where I want the story to go, but I’m crippled by my own expectations and what i think other people’s expectations are
  • “This was a good writing day!” – I was, somehow, able to avoid most distractions and wrote more than 5 words. It was still like pulling teeth
  • “I’m excited for this project :)” – I’ve spent what feels like three lifetimes thinking, planning, and revising the idea, and now that I’m starting to work on it, I’m paralyzed by the certain knowledge that it’s not going to be anywhere near what I want it to be
  • “My characters hate me” – I have done horrible things to my characters that, if they were real, would surely count as crimes against humanity, and despite loving them, I love hurting them more. My final shred of humanity has me feeling guilty…guess I’ll just have to stab my characters a few more times…
  • “I’m not really feeling motivated” – I’m wringing out my very soul to write this story, and it’s left me exhausted. Random love will recharge me, otherwise I’m going to crawl into a procrastination hole for the next week
  • “Send me asks” – I’m lonely and have writer’s block* (see above), and desperately want to interact with people. Please. I’m begging you, don’t leave me alone with my thoughts

– “writing isn’t really easy for me atm” i say that as if there’s a time when writing is easy for me

– “feedbacks are always appreciated!” pls how do i tell you that i need you to tell me what you think about this piece without sounding too annoying and needy i just want to hear y’all

– “this was fun to write” yes because i finally drilled in my head that i should indulge myself first and not think about what other people will like esp since the anxiety is limiting me from writing it exactly how i want to

– “a lot of stuff are coming fellas i can’t wait ;)” i can’t wait to find out how to bridge this Important Scene #4 to Important Scene#5 bc i am completely lost atm….i just want them to connect and go to the real action

– “no update comments please :)” they make me anxious and even guiltier over not updating fast. pls stop

– “who knows what will happen in the next chapters? :)” no one, i don’t know either

– “sorry this chapter is too long!” i feel like it’s 50% filler pls tell me you enjoy it so I’ll feel less guilty
