Want to write? · 3:55am Apr 11th, 2013
Gone 4 days, and almost 600 messages. Wonderful. 
This week has been a low for 2013. Wake up, sneeze, pour myself out of bed, sneeze again, blow nose, feel sorry for myself, crawl back in bed.
Being sick sure has its highlights. Thank you, cold weather.
Anyways, the real point of the blog: Tumblr.
Actually, I've learned a lot from it. This one is about getting a fiction started.
Anon asks:
Do you have any advice at all for us common-folk on how to master words and expressions like you?
Answer:
read like a motherfucker. don’t learn from your betters, just inhale them. imprint rhythms and chokeholds and things-that-shoot-up-your-spine into your fingertips. read how romance novels create characters so vivid you want to fuck them and have them be fucked. read brutal minimalism and extravagant prose. read children’s books to remember about wonder and post-modernists to remember about freedom. read because at some point you will be so full with the consumption of language you will need to start pouring it back out again.
write like an asshole. write things when you’ve stayed up so late you are delirious. write when you’re drunk. write when a song has made you feel catastrophic. write when you’re famished. write when you’re spitting mad. write so you don’t curl up in the bottom of a shower and sob. write when people have torn strips off you. write when you’re high on adrenaline. write because there’s a monster on your back and you need to make it real and separate from your soul. eventually, you will not need any of these props to make you brave enough.
seriously. that’s it.
Enjoy this. Live by this. Inhale this like it's the best drug in the world.
And now, I think I'll just go choke on some hot tea. And drown myself in my sorrows (and hot tea).
Then I think I'll fall asleep and wake up when I'm old enough to go to a pony con.
Yes, I think that would be brilliant.
If you need me, I'll be curled up into a sniveling little miserable ball in a corner.
See you on the other side! 
Aww!
Sounds like somepony needs a huuug!

998659 A bit before we last talked on Skype. Oh! And I got rained on this morning too, so it's a fair bet that I'm losing my voice.
Maybe we can Skype talk again next week. Busy rest of week & weekend.
I seriously need to stop writing between the hours of 1am to 6am
And I should write more
Here's to Writing!
Edit: Waking up to a massive snowstorm, woohoo Springtime!

You have Skype? You need to add me on skypyppye!
Pfft, no! Who wants to do that here?
Seriously, though, I suppose that's great advice.
And sorry for your being sick.
We got snowed on today, as a matter of fact. Hooah for that wonderful springtime weather, eh?
You are very inspirational, you know that?
Sorry to hear you're sick again
but at least it's not as bad as the last time, right?
Well I hope you get better soon
Get some rest and take care.
I'd make you soup if I could. Get well soon.
Or I'll send the Pinkie...
I imagined a little blue ball of fur with a teary eyed expression and big puppy dog eyes that was crying.
It was adorable...I wanted to hold it and tell it everything was ok.
Then I realized it was a metaphor for you.
And I wrote another quote.

No problem. Its mainly since I got a lot of ideas, but I have trouble stringing a plot together between Point A and B.
And a combination of procrastination, low self esteem, and a tiny ego makes me afraid of asking for help.
Hope you feel better soon, if not sooner!

You wouldn't believe how many others are in that exact same position, and most of us are more than happy to give each other a hand with it. Never worry about asking for help around here.
gone 4 days, and you get 600 messages? I'm gone 2 months and get nothing...
Oh well... thats life in basic training.
1001233 Pffft, you can always ask me for help! You can PM me and I can try to help with your story ideas!

Uhhhh. Here as in...where?
I don't got the nerve to go around asking random people.

Here as in the site. Do a quick search in groups and you will find plenty of little communities setup within the main one which are specifically dedicated to helping people put their stories together and generally overcome their sense of uncertainty.
