This is exactly what I’m doing rn
The real writer experience is standing in the shower and coming up with the most authentic dialogue with perfect phrasing and raw emotion in your head, then stepping out and drying your hair, putting on some clean pajamas and opening a word document to write down all your perfect ideas only to realize everything has evaporated.
I’m reading lord of the flies for English class, and let me just tell you:
REASONS WHY I THINK SIMON IS 1000% REALLY FUCKING GAY:
1) My gaydar has been going off since we first met him
2) His name is Simon (Love, Simon come on people)
3) On multiple occasions other boys on the island have called him queer, which I know can mean weird but they haven’t called Piggy (the one they find the weirdest) queer
4) HE WALKED INTO A TREE STARING AT A BOY WHO TOOK HIS SHIRT OFF IN CHAPTER ON AND IM NOT SURE EVER PUT IT BACK ON
5) The person he was based on’s last name was gay
6) He’s also been referred to as gay (which I know can mean happy, but again, none of the other boys, not even the littluns, were referred to as such)
7) HE WALKED INTO A TREE STARING AT A SHIRTLESS BOY FOR GOD’S SAKE WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED
8) HE SLAMMED INTO IT SO HARD HIS NOSE STARTED BLEEDING
