I Don't Know What I'm Doing

She/her, queer, married, and past my 20's. Writer, artist, and fandom junkie. I've had this blog waaaay too long, so it's a hodgepodge of everything, but mostly I focus on writing these days. Feel free to check out my writing on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/users/AlexFromAwen

I am so tired of short-attention-span, trim-the-fat culture. All writing advice these days is for how to write like Chuck Palahniuk. "Cut 'think', cut 'feel', cut 'wonder' - only action, only pushing forward, show and move and move and move." What if I could emulate this style, and still don't want to? What if I want to write like Henry James, with three paragraphs of introspective musings between each dialogue line? The music advice is, "make it shortform, make it Tik-Tok compatible, make it punchy, hit the refrain as soon as possible." What if I want that 10-minute prog rock piece? What if I want that symphony? What if I want it slow and luxurious and lazy? Movies. Series. Poetry. Bodies. Everything is "trimmed trimmed trimmed trimmed, stripped bare, you have three seconds to win me over, make it airport chic." I don't want to win you over, then, I guess. I want the fat left it. I want the pleasure and the indolence and the indulgence. Fuck this art-advice that's always "your art needs Ozempic."

When you tell the ladies to suit up, sometimes they take it in a different direction. I love all the ladies of Mass Effect

I-Is this it? Is this the dream? The closest we have, to Amity seeing Titan Luz??? After all the wishes and speculation??? FROM THE CREATOR HERSELF????????

Feels good to make these kinds of posts again… I love seeing the profession of how Dana draws these goobers after six years (more on her end)!

And for those also wondering: SacAnime is an anime convention in Sacramento, California that will occur on January 2nd-4th. Dana and Frankie, Andi, and Guinevere’s VAs from Knights of Guinevere will be there to sign prints and whatnot. This print will also eventually become available on her Streamily!
