writing is torture but unfortunately i am a writer and will legitimately die if i do not do it
#writerblr
#writer memes
#reading your own work trying to decide if anything is publishable is like taking repetitive psychic damage
#however.
#there are people who use a.i. to 'write' (disgusting)
#and talentless editorless people who have migraine-worthy books on the shelves
#so while self criticism is a feature of artistry that does not miss me
#i feel slightly less worried knowing for a fact that i am both a human person who wrote something and that i carefully edit most of my work
#and make sure not to make amateurish mistakes like Buttery Butter (smiled happily)
#or like using the same uncommon word too often within a small space
#unless its intentional for prose or rhyme purposes
#you can reuse common words like said or the or and mostly as you like but usually dont use words like miasma a bunch of times in the same
#same paragraph
#flow. pacing. word choice. grammar. writing past a certain level is both creative and formulaic
#past that certain level it takes no longer only talent or skill but a trained eye and a willingness to edit
#it takes a lot of reminders and witty catchphrases for common mistakes and reading and rereading your own work
#and most artists start disliking their work at a certain stage of this but
#you have to push on
#this is your calling. you must learn to banish self doubt and put in the hard work and time it takes to make something truly amazing
#learning discipline is hard for me-- i ride on talent and inspiration a lot
#but discipline is necessary because a lot of the writing process is tedious backreading editing research etc
#obviously you dont have to do most of your editing on the first draft like i do
#but you do have to get it done eventually if you want to truly get on the next level past just hobby writing
#not that theres anything wrong with doing it just for fun and casually
