#it takes a lot of reminders and witty catchphrases for common mistakes and reading and rereading your own work

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
