for starters, just so you have some background, drake is currently dating an 18 year old girl he met when she was 16, he is 31.
also here’s a tweet from drake himself talking about fucking young girls
and noww let’s talk about how he’s preying on Millie.
At the Emmys, when asked about her friendship with him, she said he regularly texts her things like “I miss you” and that they’re very close, also, that they talk about boys/dating advice. He is a 31 year old man and this is a 14 year old girl. He’s talking to her about boys and dating and sending her “I miss you” texts, there’s a word for this. It’s called grooming. (Grooming is when someone builds an emotional connection with a child to gain their trust for the purposes of sexual abuse, sexual exploitation or trafficking. Children and young people can be groomed online or face-to-face, by a stranger or by someone they know – for example a family member, friend or professional.)
He met his current girlfriend at sixteen talked and flirted with her, groomed her like this, and is now in a relationship with her. It is so disgusting to see people claiming this is normal, the industry she is in is highly pedophilic and she’s a child. This is not normal or okay, a 31 year old grown man has no business texting a 14 year old girl like this.
Read. Read a lot. Read everything you can, but don’t read like a reader, read like a writer. If you’re doing it right, there’s nothing that gets the juices flowing quite as well. This is the way you develop your style; you see things you like and things you don’t like in books and you put these values into your writing.
Read a good book. Reading a good book is why you got into writing in the first place, right? There’s something new you can learn from every book. You can see what works well and what you ARE doing. It’s inspiring to read good writing and it makes you want to try harder where you might be lacking.
Read a bad book. Not only will reading a bad published book make the world feel more hopeful, but it will make you see what you can avoid doing in your novel and what you KNOW you can do better than them.
Find other writers. Connecting with other writers is so important, whether online or in person. Not only is it nice to able to share your writing, but knowing you have a group or person to depend on with your same goals in mind is motivating. Even just talking through ideas with someone tends to yield more powerful results, and they have their own tips and trick they’ve learned that may help you.
Break it up. Chapters are there for both readers and writers. If you can get through one chapter, you can get through them all. Even make a different word document for each chapter if you need to. It will stop you more from going back and getting caught up in your plot holes that occurred fifty pages earlier.
Read the last page you wrote. The darkest of my writers block days have been stopped with this technique. Tell yourself you’ll just read the last page, maybe edit some phrasing. Then write the next page. Stopping off in the middle of a sentence helps as well. All this settles you into your story gently and gets you involved and editing a more polished draft at the end.
Keep notes. Texts messages can be sent to your email. Finding a pen and paper is hard sometimes, so you can just text ideas to your email. Not only is this handy to get fresh ideas down, but every time you check your email you’ll see these awesome ideas. Or keep a notebook if that works for you. Or write in the margins of your school work. Just get the ideas out.
Immerse yourself. The reason you started your story is because you have such a huge passion for it. What you need to do is remind yourself of these reasons as much as possible. Surround yourself with writing and creativity. Think about how your characters would respond to situations you find yourself in. Describe people you see in the streets as you would if you were introducing them to a novel. Look for people that look like your characters. Tell your friends about your book, give them your ideas. If your life isn’t a little bit about your story, you’re not doing it right.
