The best advice i can give any creator is do it before you're good at it, do it BEFORE you're happy, do it while you suck, do it while you're doubting yourself and get stuck the fuck in, because waiting around to be "good enough" is a motherfucking trap of the highest degree. You'll get good along the way and better after ever project is complete. Remember, this is the greatest thing you've ever created, and then you'll do something else. You're only ever gonna get better, but not if you stand still.

I went and drew a proper character sheet for year 2 Dima, my pathfinder magus. I love her. She recently learned that she is apparently the chosen agent of the Baba Yaga to bring forth a winter that will consume the world. This is distressing haha
Also here’s young Dima and her bastard of a dad. She hadnt full grasped magic yet

Okay, maybe that guy was a bit fishy. We need the right detective for this case.
Dedicating this to all the Columbo comments under three fish in a trench coat, he's a catfish now.

Some Things I Wish I Knew as a Baby Writer
You can find writing advice of every shape and form online, and most of it will never fit your process entirely.
I wish someone had told me that it's ok to disagree with the advice you see, even if the person is more experienced than you.
I wish someone had told me that writing is part craft part art; there is no right way to build a fictional concept, only tried and tested ways to bring it to life.
I wish someone had told me that it's ok to fail.
So I'm telling all of you this:
Failure is a blessing because we can learn from it
Success is dangerous because it can make us complacent
The joy of creation outweighs the comfort of acclaim
Persistence matters more than talent in most cases
Writing as a hobby and writing as a job are two different beasts, neither is better or worse
The stories you hate most may be your best because they have tried you and frustrated you; we rarely see the beauty in our own faces - our writing is no different.
You deserve to love your stories, but it's not the only way to measure growth.
