“I started out as a writer and a director. I started acting because I wanted to know how to relate to the actors. When people ask me what I do, I don’t really say that I’m an actor, because actors often wait for someone to give them roles.”

Chadwick Boseman + Filmography

a mood.

new aesthetic, like cottagecore but for the sea. Mediterraneancore. Blue and yellow pattern tiles. Blood oranges and lemons. a wide brim hat. balconies. decadent, warm, mysterious. angelic but the types of angels whose beauty puts u to silence

some of my favorite writing podcasts!!!

i hate sitting in silence, so when i’m just scrolling on social media or cooking i like to listen to podcasts!! here are some of my favorite writing ones:

writing excuses: nice, short 15–20 minute episodes! they cover a BROAD range of topics, and the podcast has been going on for years so they have a lot of episodes & resources!! everything from brainstorming to getting published to editing, it has a lot of awesome resources!

88 cups of tea: lots of great interviews with published authors, agents, and editors! they talk a lot about craft, querying, rejections, and the like. i love the conversations with the authors; you can get a lot out of them! your favorite author might have even been interviewed :)

shipping and handling:  hosted by two nyc literary agents! they talk about books they enjoy, the publishing industry, and fandom-related topics! they also give some good writing tips. very funny!

dead robots’ society: hosted by aspiring writers for aspiring writers! great insights for novel writing, also very funny! 

i should be writing: another great podcast for aspiring writers that gives lots of encouragement! also has a lot of great interviews that can be very helpful. clean & safe to listen to around kids/at work. awesome for beginners!

ditch diggers: the spinoff to the above podcast isbw, ditch diggers is not safe for work and deals with more ~advanced~ writing topics. also has a lot of info on the business side of writing, like branding and deadlines.

you should definitely give them a listen if you have some time! awesome craft tips that can be super helpful for creating interesting, balanced stories. definitely check them out!
