I am British I whisper as I purposely spell words with U’s.
I AM AMERICAN I SHOUT AS I DEEP FRY MY FREEDOM.
I am Canadian I say politely as I ride off on my polar bear
canada cant even figure out how to use the text brush to write, they have to handwrite it.
handwritten like the signatures on all our equal marriage certificates
canada wins

“I know the night is not the same as the day: that all things are different, that the things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist, and the night can be a dreadful time for lonely people once their loneliness has started.”
—Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms (via larmoyante)

Creating believable relationships between two characters is not just important for romance. If you want people to believe that your characters are best friends, you have to work just as hard at it. There must be good reasons why they’re so close and why they’re working…

“I’ve had people tell me that they don’t feel that they could read a book with a lesbian main character because they don’t believe that they could relate to it. The difference between you walking out of a book store, frustrated at not being able to find a story that you could relate to, and straight people telling me they’re not certain if they could relate to a lesbian main character, however, are two vastly different things. It’s a straight world—almost every story in existence is straight, every myth and fairy tale we’ve been told, growing up, is straight, every movie, every commercial we see (or that gets any play or notoriety) is straight. When people tell me, “I don’t think I could relate” for ONE book, they’re not understanding the fact that we have to not relate ALL the time if we want to read anything. Obviously, there are wonderful straight stories that we both love, but we don’t have the luxury of being able to say “meh, it’s straight, don’t think I can relate to it!”

#i think if well written enough i’d probably enjoy reading a love story between an apple and a pear #and if well written enough that would win a pulitzer #so the idea that you must have a man and a woman to sell something is ridiculous #what you must have is identifiable emotion #whether or not you connect to the pattern as well is at best a bonus
