Are you searching for purpose?
Then write something, yeah, it might be worthless
Then paint something, and it might be wordless
Pointless curses, nonsense verses
You'll see purpose start to surface
No one else is dealing with your demons
Meaning maybe defeating them could be the beginning of your meaning, friend

*reasonable restrictions are ones you consider fair for your own safety or wellbeing, especially for things like graphic depictions of violence in relation to your age at the time (i.e. "you can read this when you're older")
not sure if books you read were banned? here is a archive of the top 10 most banned/challenged books from 2001-2022, hosted by the American Library Association
as well as the Wikipedia page for the Most Commonly Challenged Books in the United States
Wikipedia page for Books Banned by the Government, organized by region/country
#the middle one#but they weren't super vocal about their concerns#it was just an occasional ''oh I didn't like that one. It was too violent for me when I was your age.''#like it never contained even a suggestion that i shouldn't be reading it but more of a warning that i might find it upsetting#and if i do find it upsetting then maybe i should consider putting it down for a while and picking it up again later#EXCEPT for Catcher in the Rye which i was not allowed to have until i had to read it for school#and that wasn't because of sexual topics but because it was the favorite book of the man who murdered John Lennon#Part of this all being the way it was is because I was already reading upper middle grade at 6 years old

I do not consider any fantasy worldbuilding complete before you cannot tell me something about
the culture’s sense of humour, with examples of popular jokes,
popular literature VS classic literature,
what children learn in school (especially history, maths, biology),
the common grammar mistakes your conlang’s native speakers make,
the culture’s cuisine, with recipes,
toy production,
the embarassing old songs people sing when they are really drunk, but would not admit knowing while sober.

99% of ramblers quit right before they conceive of a coherent thought. KEEP TALKING

Been thinking about this a lot lately... It's especially good advice for those of us that are terrible plotters. Just take it one step at a time.

#it depends on the book man#some of them started with the middle#some of them start at the end#like none of them have coherent beginnings#and i tend to do the beginnings last#so how do I answer that?

One thing I didn’t expect from my new worldbuilding book is the author, roughly my dad’s age, including his opinions on furries

This hit home, and I think it will resonate hard with all my creative friends, here. You are amazing and brilliant and I BEG YOU to keep creating!! ❤️❤️❤️
#i know i have#but also I've just been very exhausted by all the feelings I've been having lately and i don't want to gove myself more feelings#even feelings about imaginary people with imaginary problems#like im literally not watching tv or reading either#it's like 50% my standards are too high and 50% I've been in panic mode for way too goddamn long and my body is shutting the hell down

one of my favorite things to do in limited perspective is write sentences about the things someone doesn't do. he doesn't open his eyes. he doesn't reach out. i LOVE sentences like that. if it's describing the narrator, it's a reflection of their desires, something they're holding themselves back from. there's a tension between urge and action. it makes you ask why they wanted or felt compelled to do that, and also why they ultimately didn't. and if it's describing someone else, it tells you about the narrator's expectations. how they perceive that other person or their relationship. what they thought the other person was going to do, or thought the other person should have done, but failed to. negative action sentences are everything.
