the worst thing about writing is that you aren’t just a writer. you have to be a thousand things. a poet, a flirt, a weapons expert, a bleeding heart, a scholar, a legendary cook, a theorist, an engineer, a reckless teenage girl, a dying god. you have to be able to write monologues and speeches and heartfelt confessions, and you have to make them believable. writing is putting yourself into someone else’s shoes.

writing is really hard (◕︿◕✿)

It is hard, but it’s a ridiculous amount of fun to be all of those things and realize that you’re capable of being all of those different characters.  You create them and bring them to life.  There is a lot of power in writing.  Once you finish you get to sit back, look at this thing you created, full of different people and worlds and it’s… it’s amazing, really.

Seriously, “Seeking the Storyteller” is so amazing, because it started as roleplay between me and my wifey and is now going to be a published book. But I got to go from being moody, bad tempered, will fucking kill you Cyn to happy, giggling, new to human things Mira.  That’s just two characters, there’s a bunch more.  It’s hard but it’s awesome  ^^
