&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;just a reminder than tumblr gets face characters fired and if you keep going in this direction with the new Peter Pan face character you are all so suddenly obsessed with you’re going to make him lose his job&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;can you explain how that happens? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;people find out his real name and call him that at the park, therefore taking him out of character and ruining the magic for the younger kids&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SIGNAL BOOSTING THIS SHIT&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TRIGGER WARNING&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a Scottish anti-rape PSA that is a direct response to blaming a rape victim for dressing like a slut. What do you think? Is it effective?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Never have I seen such an effective video in my life… and it’s only 30 seconds long. Definitely, 100% watch and reblog this.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;this was me and the word “facade” &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OMG. “Niche,” anyone?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I run into this so often with words that I’ve only ever read, and when it comes time to employ them in a sentence I realize that I actually have no idea how to pronounce it irl.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;epitome&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;… Bagel. I am so profound&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think I say this every time, but “awry.” Also, annihilation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;English makes no bloody sense in terms of phonetics anyway.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Omg so many damn words. Albeit, haughty, facet… The list goes on.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Todor’s Baba taught herself to speak English from reading newspapers and as such says “read” as “re-add” and it is one of the best reminders of how big a badass she is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Hyper-bowl” sounds better than hyperbole anyway&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;someone wrote hyperbowl the other day and i was legit confused for a minute. but i have a lot of these. like “sew,” which rhymes with “sue,” not “so.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thought “amulet” was “omlette” for way too long&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://notebookblue.tumblr.com/post/53391692771</link><guid>http://notebookblue.tumblr.com/post/53391692771</guid><pubDate>Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:44:17 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>turning-in-circ1es:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Spooky…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What if you went to this place at night and somewhere among the sea of red boxes a telephone started to ring?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pick it up. It’s for you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;And on the other line : “Are you my mummy?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As you drop the phone in horror, you start running, and running. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And then you see it. Standing starkly against the rusted red phone boxes there is a single blue box. &lt;/p&gt;

1. Don’t go out to lunch. 


2. Don’t go online until lunch. 


3. Don’t start writing your novel..."</title><description>“&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;1. &lt;/strong&gt;Don’t go out to lunch. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;2. &lt;/strong&gt;Don’t go online until lunch. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;3. &lt;/strong&gt;Don’t start writing your novel until you know your characters very, very well. What they’d do if they saw somebody shoplifting. What they were like at school. What shoes they wear.  Spend days – weeks, months – being them until they thicken up and start to breathe. VS Pritchett said, “There’s no such thing as plot, only characters.” Once you know them well they’ll lead you into their stories. If you start too soon you won’t have a clue what they’re going to do and all is chaos. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;4. &lt;/strong&gt;However hopeless and inadequate you feel, leave that self behind. Psych yourself up until you’re confident that the world will be interested in what happens to your characters. Confidence is key. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;5. &lt;/strong&gt;Don’t “write”. “Writing” is about showing off, or imitating other writers. “Writing” mistakes solemnity for seriousness. Just write. Have courage, be truthful, be true to your characters. 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;6. &lt;/strong&gt;Don’t be daunted. Writing a novel is a huge adventure; when it’s going well it’s more fun than fun. When it stutters to a halt put it aside. Go for a swim, go for a walk, take a week off. Don’t panic or be afraid; you and your characters are in it together. Trust them to come to your rescue. Of course it’s a long haul, but you always knew that, didn’t you? 

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;7. &lt;/strong&gt;If a character stubbornly refuses to come alive, switch to the first person. Suddenly they’ll be speaking to you. Later you can change it back again if you need to. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;8. &lt;/strong&gt;I have to know the ending before I can begin. Map out as much as you need but don’t over-plot or you can constrict your characters. Let them change it as they go along. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;9. &lt;/strong&gt;You don’t have to know the ending. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;10. &lt;/strong&gt;In other words, you don’t have to listen to anyone’s advice. There are no rules to break. That’s the pleasure of it. Read &lt;a href="http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2013/04/25/the-paris-review-art-of-the-interview/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Paris Review&lt;/em&gt; interviews&lt;/a&gt; with writers – everyone has their own methods and if a novel is truly alive it will break all their rules too. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;11. &lt;/strong&gt;Discover the times when you’re most creative – mornings, nights, afternoons – and clear the time to work then. Many writers find the mornings are best, and the afternoons are only good for editorial corrections, or getting the washing done. Others can only work through the night, drunk. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;12. &lt;/strong&gt;Sort out your priorities. Don’t clean your home, other than as a displacement activity. There won’t be time. You’ll probably neglect your friends too, and even your personal hygiene. If you have children, however, try to keep them fed.
