#and understanding

I don’t think people realize how freaked out fanfic readers get when their favorite author(s) doesn’t update their ongoing schedule ON TIME.

And it’s not cause we want the chapter…it’s cause we’re so fucking worried about the Author.

Like— OMG ARE YOU OKAY? YOU’VE BEEN GIVING US THE TRAGIC UPDATES OF YOUR LIFE IN THE NOTES THE PAST 10 CHAPTERS?! WHY STOP? ARE YOU DEAD? DID YOU GET STUCK IN THE WALL LIKE YOUR CAT?? HAVE YOU EATEN?? HAS YOUR BRAIN EXPLODED??

Readers no longer care about the story when they don’t get their usual update. We panic and flag S.O.S as we track down our wayward author who has been both blessed by the universe with a creative mind and cursed all the same with the worst luck.

So any authors who are reading this please understand— when we comment “hey are you okay?” in your comments. No, we are not asking about the chapter.

We are legitimately concerned for your wellbeing. Do not force yourself to shit out a chapter just to appease other ppl when you yourself are not in the mental state to enjoy it or even write it to begin with.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF DAMMIT

omg so i only get 2 takes to present a 1 minute elevator pitch about my HR story. i did the first take fine, was going to record the 2nd when my internet went out. so the 2nd (and final) take is just 2 seconds of me staring at the screen. FUCK. i don't get anymore takes.

i emailed my professor but i am not hopeful. fuck fuck fuck.

I hope you aren’t stressing yourself out too much about the writing! Take care of yourself!! For me what really helps when I’m having trouble achieving goals, I break it down into smaller ones and take it step by step 🫶 don’t stress dont pressure yourself maybe take a look in other fandom’s fics (if you’re into) or read a book, a movie you like to draw fresh inspo and get your mind off things!! Sending love🫶

i love you guys so unbelievably much oh my god 🥹😭❤️

thank you so much for this great advice!!! right now my "small goal" is to write half a scene every day so im hoping i can make good headway by the time chapter four posts!! ❤️

During the Jack White concert, Luke showed me a note on his telephone to inform me that Jack's penis was visible in his pants

Just to tell you guys that if you see me changing my art style a lot, it bc I'm trying to see what I like and what It looks good bc I don't really like my art style so much. Ya sure I liked it at some point, but now I feel like I've been stuck with something I'm not enjoying. Art is something I want to enjoy and experiment with, not accepting it like some sort of job I'm supposed to do. I've also been having art block so that too.

the worst part about ocd and ocd-like tendencies is that you think hyper-analyzing your thoughts and constantly psychoanalyzing yourself will fix you but that's actually part of the disorder. it's the disorder. disordering.

imagine being a Korean person awake at like one in the morning trying to accept that the president of South Korea actually just tried to go full dictatorship by way of an emergency martial law because he was basically having a political temper tantrum and every agency and corporation in the country is all hands on deck, code red mode on everything and the military is being deployed and then the assembly revokes the martial law and then the president is like lol nevermind and now you have to get ready to work at your shitty job on a Wednesday

Day after UK elections- according to the local news, tories weren't even second- and according to this morning's news (around 5, 5:30 am), Sunak had already called Starmer (had to look up how his name's spelled) to congratulate him

manifesting the worst tory election result in history tomorrow. like to charge reblog to cast and reply to send the tories to a shadow dimension for 3000 years

wait do people read first person stories and think they're the ones in the story???

Saw people talking about not liking first person, which is fair, but their reasoning was like "I would not do that" and I don't understand that mindset.

First person stories are still about a character. A character making their own decisions. First person isn't about you???? At least I thought it wasn't. What am I missing? I've always seen first person as just a more in-depth look into a character's mind and stricter POV. Not as a reader stand-in.

liking someone platonically is so embarrassing like. yeah i admire you. yeah i think about you all the time. yeah i look forward to every time i see you even if it's only for a minute. yeah it's all platonic and yeah i couldn't explain this because it'd sound romantic. fucking hell
