L.C. Wide

i’m having a world of trouble getting words onto pages lately 🥲

stayed up a few nights ago (as in, got up from almost sleeping and sat hunched over my laptop in the dark) to pants a book plan that i have since not touched. when will it ENDDD😭

me please!!🥰

i can’t think of any surfy contemporary romances so i think it’s about time😌

i think the amount of surfing i’ve been doing lately is my favourite “””writing research””” i’ve ever done and soon i’m going to have to write a surf romance to make up for currently only having casual surfer characters

yay for another fellow aussie writer!! congrats on the debut!!

i probably should be paying more attention to my capital letters and grammar use on this particular account but frankly who i am on social media is not who i am in the word document and anyone who’s ever read an essay of mine can attest to that sooo it’ll be this garbage if it’s not published work!

i was about to ask what your opinion was, but i guess it’s clear by the structure of that in-parenthesis sentence🤣

#poetry ? is that what we’re doing here?

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

A poem that reads “Before Dawn Breaks” in bold, with the body text formatted to look like fangs when turned to the right. The body reads: ‭ If I‬ ‭ undeniably‬ ‭ cite the shift in iris,‬ ‭ your strange, co-dependent family.‬ ‭ Palm flat against‬ ‭ a black van‬ ‭ door.‬ ‭ You watch me sleep. I‬ ‭ dream of you, cold and‬ ‭ rigid. My room smells‬ ‭ like you when I wake up.‬ ‭ Were you here? A dream?‬ ‭ You can’t stand me near.‬ ‭ Say it, out loud, I don’t‬ ‭ care. You cannot live‬ ‭ without me, if you ever‬ ‭ lived at all. Enamoured,‬ ‭ the sparkle of your skin‬ ‭ under wet sunlight. I scar.‬ ‭ A‬ ‭ lamb, a lion,‬ ‭ stupid, masochistic.‬ ‭ Blood-thirsting, bed-cracking ever.‬ ‭ Glued together, as a‬ ‭ tongue sticks‬ ‭ to ice.‬‭ L.C. Wide”

Before Dawn Breaks - the silliest poem i ever wrote, that scored me a high distinction from my poetry tutor. he’d never seen twilight… lmao

whenever i read a book with a playlist i wonder what the authors favourite or first published fic was

What if, instead of trying to have a productive writing day, you aimed for a satisfying one instead?

the words are well stocked but the confidence is not!

i find this outside of fantasy, too. there’s been a good number of romance books i’ve read where the male love interest is… concerning levels of boring but because he’s 6’4 and blue-eyed, i was FOOLED by reviews saying it was a fantastic read🥲 i blame the self-insert style for that!!

but how could i POSSIBLY be included when i spend all my spare time writing and also get good feedback from readers!!!
isn’t being a writer all about the overnight success and million dollar book deals?! 😫😭

someone please tell me the trick for overcoming writer imposter syndrome please please please i’m begging i need the eternal cure

the fight today would’ve made a really, really terrible enemies to lovers introduction. like that was not at all something anyone could write a fic about therefore it was bad.

my current MC AND her love interest are constantly shaking their heads and sighing and/or scoffing but it’s exactly who they are as characters who hate the idea of vulnerability with words

what’s your most overused invisible tag as a writer? i can’t be the only one suffering the eternal sigh!!!

hi!!

i’m looking to build a writing community, so i’m here with an intro!:

🌸 writes: aussie romance drama, poetry to make people cry, and screenplays that will never see a cinema
🌼 loves: yum cha, the beach, and summer
🌺 reading: romance(all the time), and pop culture and social science papers

so many ideas not enough fingers for typing nor enough hours in each day!!

how do i get a job shitposting for infonionwars

If you're serious about writing, you have to read your peers. If it's good, it will inspire you. If it's bad, it will really really inspire you.

going to need hollywood screenwriters to start making things camp again. mean girls being canon in a hallmark christmas movie universe is exactly what a christmas movie needs!!!!

oh i love the sound of this!!!!!

Overlooked for the Booker Prize AGAIN. Apparently you have to “first write a book”. Nepotistic literary establishment setting insurmountable barriers against me, the extraordinary man in the street, entering. Makes me sick.
