This one is good! It reads like a book!

If that's not what "manic pixie dream girl" means for you, I totally get that.

I think sometimes female character types aren't given the same grace to exist as their male counterparts.

What I like about the archetype is the impulsiveness, and the way that can lead to character-driven plot. They're the kind of character that move the story forward in a really fun way.

Does goals and needs automatically supersede her manic-pixie-dream status?

This has nothing to do with the fact that I just watched Cabaret for the first time.

I'm at the part where he's in the caves living like a cave vampire and calling himself Sinbad... with his tongueless servant.

He's definitely getting weirder!

Money makes people freaks.

This bunch had literal months to be like "here's a diamond, and your debt is nullified" but he waited until the poor guy had a literal gun to his head and had told his son to care for his sister and mother 😭

BRO.

Mostly bc it's a library book and its on hold so I can't renew it.

I don't have a year, I have a little less than 2 weeks. I can do it, but I'm feeling slow.

She's CHUNKY.

I have peas!

1/2lb of cheddar, a much smaller block of gruyere brown butter and a lot of love 😌👌

Honestly, some of these American recipes are just about as dystopian.

I saw someone completely mash a cake together, stick it in the oven, then cover it in canned frosting as if it were a sheet cake.

It definitely makes me feel like I'm making progress! I do think it helps to have a little box to fill in every day.

I'm looking at maybe another 60,000 before this draft is finished 🥲

That's one of the kindest things anyone's ever said abt anything I've ever made 🥺❤️
