Being able to make a career as a writer has been the greatest miracle of my life and every day I hope I express how grateful I am. This is basically impossible.

every writer needs an Older Adult With More Life Experience to help refine the plausibility of story beats that involve things like bureaucratic nonsense

EVERYONE GET MORE INSANE ABOUT YOUR OWN OCS NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"The first draft of anything is shit" is so counterproductive. What you wrote isn't shit! There's good stuff there, you just need to build and iterate on that good stuff. It's good to like what you write. If you enjoy it, others will too.

When I'm scripting I noticed, if the dialogue is pouring out, if it's flowing & terrific, I don't put the brakes on writing panel descriptions/stage directions, I can go back & fill those in. Same for any part of the process. Don't stop because of format or 'rules' when you've caught some lightning.

helen of troy does countertop dancing my beloved

objectively the funniest npc bark in ffxiv. you realize it takes three months for a pregnancy to even show, right? you realize the maid probably got pregnant in the kitchens of her previous noble house and fooled you into hiring her, right? right??

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

Sometimes i get sad at those “I wanted to look up what kind of horse pulled medieval wagons It’s three hours later and playtex bra sewers made spacesuits i have a problem” no. No, you don’t. Hydrate and get back in there

If you draw horny fanart of your favorite characters, I only have one thing to say to you: hell yeah.

niche hobbies really lead you to DIY places you wouldn't go with a gun

If there is someone on here who you really like (or whos work you really like) you can just send them a message saying so unprompted. Even if they don't know you and nobody was asking. I promise it will cheer them up and encourage them to keep going. They might really need to hear it. Just be nice
