As much as we writers love to write, there are times when we couldn’t even look at a document or a piece of paper without feeling the urge to burn everything until nothing is left. Call it a writer’s block or even a burn out, it doesn’t matter. The point is that these moments happen more often than not and it is not only frustrating, but also just a bit terrifying. At least for those who get PAID to write. How do other writers handle that? Do they take a break or do they look for inspiration by force? Which one is the better thing to do in your situation…

Just to be clear: none of those two are actually the same. You aren’t necessarily anti-social if you’re an introvert. The same could be said for vice versa. There are a lot of reasons why these two couldn’t be more farther apart and one of them is the fact that introverted people can ACTUALLY socialise really well while anti-social ones aren’t capable. Why? Here’s why. Being an introvert is a personality trait while being anti-social is a clinical condition An introvert is someone who prefers to be alone. It’s a preference. Meanwhile anti-social people are, compared to introverts that is, are basically psychopaths since it’s a clinical condition, according to…

The idea of being able to ask the big question to the love of your life is often an overwhelming one. After all, there are so many different aspects that you need to think about. You need to think about how you will bring up the question, if you want to go anywhere special to ask the question, and if you’re even ready to ask. For many people, the idea of not being ready for a relationship is one of the biggest fears. This is one of the many reasons why you might be afraid to ask her to take the relationship to the next level. With that being said,…

As writers, we all have some habits when we write. Those habits give readers clues that we sometimes don’t know what we’re doing. Or that we just aren’t as good as we make it out to be. They can be pet peeves or they can simply be an oversight. Then there are those habits that make our progress and productivity go down. These are the kinds of habits that we mostly face every day. We need to stop doing them if we ever want to keep our productivity up. What are these bad habits that writers have? Running away Can you honestly say that you don’t run away from writing…

It can usually go without saying that trying to drive when the weather is bad is not always the best idea. Whether the roads are iced over and there is black ice all over the place, or the rain is coming down in sheets so thick you can’t see more than a few metres ahead of you, there are always risks to driving in inclement weather. More often than not, cars have features implemented to help combat some of these troubles. Sadly, many quad bikes do not have as extensive features, which can make it somewhat difficult to drive safely when the weather turns sour on your way back home.…

Typing is faster and more convenient. You only get to use one object rather than two when you handwrite something. But anything that comes easy is just another way for us be lazier and lazier. Just like with everything else, the moment you stop using something, you lose the skills and talent to do that thing if you ever try to go back into it. Like my best friend. She used to love writing back when we were still teenagers. But when she got a new computer and then had internet connection way earlier than the rest of us, she slowly stopped writing and relied on typing a lot. When…

Writing, funnily enough, can make you feel like a god. No joke, it can. Because when you think about it, you are creating something out of nothing. You use words to make something that didn’t exist before. You give them life and you meld them into something that would one day become a different world different from ours. Writing stories is the definite way for you to create a god complex too, by the way. Okay, that was a joke. But not really. As someone who has been imagining and writing stories since she was thirteen (albeit really bad ones but come on), it can be quite possible to develop…

After spending months, even years working on growing and nurturing a tender and loving relationship with someone close to you, you might feel at a loss as to how you can make the distance between you and your loved one grow even smaller. For some people, an intimate retreat might be in order. For other people, a sit down and a heavy talk might be the better way to talk about where you want to take things in the relationship. However, something that many people can appreciate is a gift that shows just how much love and effort you want to put into keeping the relationship loving and going. For…

Now what would a fairy garden look like to a kid? Something that would be surrounded with colours, right? With many beautiful flowers surrounding the area that would glow in either the sunlight or under the moon. How about to an adult? What does a “fairy flower garden” actually look like to an adult? To me, since I’m not a gardener and have zero talents for landscaping, as long as there are beautiful flowers all over the place then it’s good enough for me. Just imagine there being Cherry Blossom Trees dotting the yard. Those beautiful white and pink flowers that would then fall during spring? Exquisite. Imagine having those…
