The Magic Of Edits

Before:

And ☆After☆ :

Don't mind the '<>'s, this is for ao3 formatting

[xann-z-the-artsy-enby]

10000%!

Even with how much 100k words is, I look back and cringe and shame my past self just as much as im congratulating myself.

Edits aren't always a bad thing and im excited to see how I can trim this story down (because trust me it DOES need it)

Staying humble is one of the things I hope i can always do in life so ty for this message gang :)

I completely forgot about having to make a portfolio for my high school experience

Im about to start my Junior page now and I still have some things to refine about last year's page

But im talking about it because it's showing me how much I really have grown and improved as a writer

I went from 30k words in a month a loose idea but no path, to 100k words across the whole school year, several awards and a whole writing group formed to support other writers like myself

Damn, past me

You did good

And here's a message to all the other writers like me; youre doing good too!

The dream when I get a day-to-day job

I write my novel on company time. So technically I’m getting paid to write while I’m sitting waiting for customers.

Angst is the best form of therapy

Urgent Appeal 🥊

Hello my friend 👋

My name is Mohammed, I live in Gaza City and I am 19 years old. I have lived through the full horrors of war — hunger, displacement, fear, relentless bombings, destruction, and so many other painful experiences 🥹😭.I never created a donation link before, and I haven’t received any kind of help throughout this devastating war 🥲💔.

I was so happy when the ceasefire was announced, and I dreamed of starting a small shop to earn a living. But sadly, the war returned — even more violent and destructive than before 😭.Our area has now been declared a dangerous combat zone, and we lost our home — the only shelter we had 💔.

Worst of all, my father was seriously injured: he tragically lost one of his hands and an eye, and he is now completely unable to work or support our family 🥲😭.

Prices have skyrocketed, and we have no source of income. I’m launching this donation campaign now with a broken heart but a little hope 🥲.

Please, for the sake of humanity and for the sake of my family, consider making a donation to help us survive 🙏💔.

I just created the donation link, hoping that someone out there might lend a helping hand.

Please don’t let me down 🙏❤️‍🩹

I start school next week and im trying to savor all the resting I can

But im ALSO trying to savor all the prime writing time I can

The duality of a writer in high school 😞

[xann-z-the-artsy-enby]

Mainly angst

My kinda people 🫂

Genuinely I am more w the 7 percent that writes all 4, just in very different times

Fluff and angst are the main ones I have the most fun with, ESPECIALLY angst when it comes to fanficion and OC backstory

Crack i almost never do but I love to draw it so I think it counts?

Smut I rarely ever post, but I do like to write it for myself sometimes (aka I have too much anxiety to post smut under my name T-T)

But it was fun getting to see what all of you guys like to do!

Hopefully I can do more of these!

Genuinely curious,

[xann-z-the-artsy-enby]

Locked in for like 2 hours and made the cutest cheer fits for my story

And the other day i made a full list of things to revisit for my fantasy series

Its not much progress

But im proud of it

[xann-z-the-artsy-enby]

I LOVE planning

But very selectively

Grocery lists! I make every list in my house for myself and family members

What to eat? I make weeks' worth of meal plans

Future plans? I have four differently crafted pathways for myself

Daily schedules? Got them

WRITING schedules? Plenty of them

Actual planning for WHAT I'm writing?

Absolutely nothing

Pro tip; try to find a friend or person who loves your story as much as you, so then when you get bouts of motivation you can bounce ideas off the walls together
