Day 5: Your character is getting ready in the morning. Write a scene of their morning (or even mid day) routine.
Day 4: What world does your character exist in? Real or imagined? Scientific? Fantastical? Write a scene where your character is shown in their world.
“I’ve been very aware ever since I was a child how futile it is to start categorising. I know that sexually I am a lot more drawn to women than I am to men. But I do find it hard to define myself, because as soon as you state one thing, you deny everything else. Some people know exactly who they are and what they want to do. I don’t have that. I feel wider… not deeper or cleverer or anything, just wider…”

Rupert Graves, Actor (via bestbandquotes)
See, this is what I just adore about Rupert. He’s so open about these things. Most actors won’t bring up sexuality at all, but Rupert’s so comfortable discussing these things and he’s just so sincere and honest about himself.
(via astudyinlestrade)
Uh, Rupert, that could have been me speaking. Are we the same person?
dear chick wacking herself in the head,
wtf are you even doing? i’m trying to at minimum seem like i’m paying attention, but all i can do is crack up every time i look over at you. since you’re sitting in front of me and in my line of vision, that’s a lot. the professor probably thinks we’re both nuts (you very well may be nuts, but i’m just reacting!). please stop.
laughing but not amused,

Feeling lazier than the guy who made the Polish flag
how about the guy who was coming up with the indonesian flag decades later?
TEA RULES.
My understanding of tea etiquette in Britain is:
OFFER YOUR GUEST TEA AS SOON AS THEY ARRIVE - GIVE THEM THE LARGER MUG, BECAUSE THEN THEY CAN HAVE MORE TEA IN IT, AND MORE TEA IS BETTER - OFFER THEM MORE TEA AS SOON AS THEY HAVE FINISHED THEIR MUG OF TEA, BECAUSE MORE TEA IS BETTER.
IF SOMEONE LOOKS STRESSED, OFFER TO MAKE THEM TEA. IF SOMEONE LOOKS UPSET, OFFER TO MAKE THEM TEA. IF SOMEONE LOOKS TIRED, OFFER TO MAKE THEM TEA. IF SOMEONE HAS JUST COME IN FROM THE RAIN, OFFER TO MAKE THEM TEA. IF SOMEONE HAS JUST RECEIVED BAD NEWS, OFFER TO MAKE THEM TEA. IF YOU ARE WATCHING TV WITH SOMEONE AND THERE IS AN ADBREAK, OFFER TO MAKE THEM TEA. IF YOU ARE MAKING YOURSELF TEA, OFFER TO MAKE EVERYONE ELSE TEA.
IF SOMEONE IS NOT CURRENTLY HOLDING A MUG OF TEA, DOUBLE CHECK THAT THAT IS AN INTENTIONAL STATE OF AFFAIRS, AND THEY DO NOT, IN FACT, WANT A CUP OF TEA.
TEA.
Day 3: Think about the character you created for Day 2. Write their seven word biography.
Wake-up; do stuff; go to bed; repeat.
Day 2: Create a character. Write a brief scene of them in a setting. Also use this paragraph to introduce the character to the reader by how they react to their setting.
