Things to say about your writing instead of “this is so bad”

My writing doesn’t have to be perfect all the time

The dialogue in this scene feels stale (or another adjective), but I can revise that later

The descriptions lack specificity (or another issue), but I can revise that later

The [another specific craft element] isn’t working the way I’d hoped, but I can revise that later

I don’t feel like I can objectively judge my work at this current moment

I’m not happy with my writing right now, but that doesn’t mean I’ll feel this way forever

I’ll reread this writing at a later time and move on for now

This scene isn’t turning out how I’d pictured in my head, but I can accept that for now and tweak it later

I trust myself to edit this in the future

I’m afraid people are going to judge my work, but I’ll accept that I can’t control the reactions of other people—my reaction matters most

This scene/subplot/character/etc is overwhelming me.

I’ll take my time through this scene/chapter/subplot as more time may allow me to immerse more in the draft.

I’ll write this scene/chapter/subplot as quickly as I can—I would like to get through this part ASAP.

It’s okay to make mistakes in my writing.

I’m not feeling very confident in my craft right now, but I know this will pass

This scene might be bad, and that’s okay. Sometimes I write gems, and sometimes my writing needs a bit more work (that’s normal)

This scene relies on [certain skill] that I’m still honing. I understand to get better at something, I have to practice and practicing requires mistakes.

I’m not excited about this scene right now

I had high expectations for this scene, and unfortunately, I don’t feel like I’m hitting them. However, it’s okay for expectations to change.

I’m disappointed with how my writing is turning out. That’s normal, even though it sucks.

I’m going to remind myself what I DO like about my writing because this feels bad, though I know this feeling won’t last forever.

Sometimes writers need to say “my writing is so bad,” and that’s fine too! Sometimes though, it’s good to note what is specifically wrong in case you need an extra boost forward! <3

Fanfic writers be like: goddamnit, this idea is so fucking sad it’s making me cry just thinking about it. Let me write it down so I can inflict it on others.

[damagectrlwrites]

I feel so attacked right now...

*sweeps all of my AU ideas under the rug* why must I be called out this way?

[damagectrlwrites]

I am hurt and angry that this happened, but also mad that I am not surprised.

Title: Pulse

Rating: T

Genre: Romance-ish, AU, AU Canon Divergence/Break the Timeline

Summary:

The war of conquest comes to a crashing halt when the death of Azulon puts brother against brother, with anti-war Iroh claiming victory. A young Zuko escapes capture and flees to the former colonies, hiding out for ten years, evading his uncle’s men.

While Zuko was prepared for any Fire Nation detectives and soldiers after him, he finds himself grossly unprepared for a waterbending prodigy turned bounty hunter who has yet to fail to bring in her target.

Notes:

It’s done!  HAHAHAHA~~~

Reasons why people write fanfictions

5% just wanna write and have an idea

10% canon did WHAT!? I’m sorry(I’m not) to disagree BUT *write intensely*

15% wanna write something with these characters specifically

70% didn’t find the very specific and precise fanfic they’ve been searching for hours and came to the inevitable conclusion that they have to provide it themself  *mutters* “ fuck ”

Zutara Week 2020 Continuation: Reunion Part II

In case Tumblr can’t play the video here’s the Vimeo Link

I couldn’t help myself.

Shoutout to @crayolasaurus again and their Zutara - peace AMV (Tragically struck down by Viacom; if it’s still available in your country, LUCKY!) But it sparked this image in my head of a continuation of Zuko and Katara’s meeting in the Reunion animatic. It kept me up at night, honestly, so I had to make this! It takes place later in the day following the events of Reunion Part I. Katara is settling in at the palace as the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador and is taking some time to decompress out in a breezeway, and after he had returned to a long day of Fire Lord duties and state business, Zuko follows up with her there. Both stripped of artifice and defenses (he’s in casual wear, she’s without her water pouch)… and they are able to enjoy each other’s company finally… as old friends… and more.

 Title: Wanted (One-Shot)

Rating: T

Genre: ANGST, Hurt/Comfort, Romance, Sad with Happy Ending

Ship: Adrien/Marinette/Luka

Summary: 

He thought he’d be able to live out the rest of his life peacefully in some backwater village on the Swiss border after his father was revealed to be Hawkmoth. Too ashamed and fearful to return, Adrien spent 10 years trying to forget his past when Luka appears, having spent the better part of two years trying to track him down.

When Adrien refuses to listen to Luka and return to Paris, Marinette shows up. While her presence reminds him of feelings he thought he’d buried, Adrien still won’t dare return to the place where his life fell apart. However, she leaves him a small parting gift that may just send him back to Paris and to them. Notes: OT3 fic; lots of angst.  Read at own risk, but there is a happy ending.
