HEY

To all you authors out there, here’s a little advice that will help you so much. 

Do not write for other people. Yes, this sounds like classic writing advice, but I’m going to go deeper into it. Because I realized today what that actually means.

When you write for other people, you find yourself constantly being anxious over how they’ll perceive it. As you’re writing you’ll be looking at it like “there’s no way anyone will ever like this.” You’ll point out every flaw and that just makes writing a burden. You’ll get writer’s block or quit writing altogether, because it’s just not fun anymore.

So instead of doing that, just…turn off that part of your brain that points out the mistakes and tells you people won’t like it. Save that for later. It might be hard to do this, but you’ve got to understand that you’re telling this story for yourself, and that at this point it doesn’t matter if it sucks or not. That’s for your other drafts. 

Enjoy the writing. Smile when you make some cheesy joke, even if you know you’ll have to delete it later. Write out the parts that you like about the story, whether or not they matter to the plot.

Writing for other people has its place, but that’s for after you’ve written for yourself.

I may be under a stay at home order but at least I have cake!

Dabi and Shoto do the same “Rapper on an album cover” pose when they’re stressed. That’s how you know they’re family. 😭

They’re ✨communicating✨

make no mistake, the people who just struck roe v wade down and the people who support that decision in other executive positions — they will have access to abortions for their children, their affairs. this will not affect the people in power in this country and this is not about being “pro-life.” it’s about controlling our most vulnerable populations and people in those groups are going to disproportionately die because of it. if you support that, unfollow me and get the fuck off my blog. you are not welcome.
