Me: I’m gonna write a story and it’s gonna be great and it will flow easily and all my character’s will dash fully formed onto the page and it will come out perfectly on the first try so I’ll never ever have to edit ever and I’ll for once be happy with something I wrote and it’ll be flawless
Me: *writes*
Me: *writes*

Me some days later with bags under my eyes and my keyboard keys branded into my face from repeatedly falling asleep on it: I HAD A DREAM MY LIFE WOULD BE SO DIFFERENT FROM THIS HELL I’M LIVING
So I wrote a little kid Winchester fic today. It’s Dean’s birthday. For him it’s just another day, but Sam doesn’t forget.
Reblogging this one for day people
“You know, Kenneth Branagh is a big mentor of mine and he said something the other day, somebody asked him a question and – I think it’s a quote from Shakespeare – from A Midsummer’s Night Dream, which is four words: “take pains, be perfect". And it’s, I think, his way of saying, you know – don’t be afraid of caring. I mean, when I started acting, I’ll never forget this – there was a guy above me at drama school, who used to say: when you have a big audition, for a part that you really want, you should go out and have a crazy night and then turn up to the audition hungover and you’ll always get the part. And, I tried that and it never worked at all. I’ll just be like “eugh, I just wanna go to bed, I’m sorry, I’m just really tired…" And then I kinda changed – basically I gave myself permission to care.”
