If I ever get shot it better not be somewhere embarrassing like my butt or boobs or something because I swear id rather lose a limb than suffer the humiliation of giving a surgeon that story
Were you okay when you wrote this
tbh I have no memory of writing this post but OBVIOUSLY not why was I concerned about this???
#Help what was going through my head???#Was this a necessary thought to share with the world???#Cake I swear if this post gets traction after this I’m going to hunt you for sport#(I will not and for clarity’s sake I’m not upset you reblogged this and am actually very entertained)

This is entirely Tumblr's and @authorofmagnificentgarbage's fault. Now have murder vigilantes and dating apps that probably aren't very safe.

I made myself yoghurt and fruit and granola for dinner but forgot about the fruit and when I bit into the fruit I panicked because I thought I just bit into a chunk of human flesh and not a fricken strawberry what does this say about my mental state
And I never let you forget it you strawberry cannibal
WHY WOULD YOU BRING THIS BACK TO HAUNT ME

So turns out…..you guys are not gonna believe this…….but it turns out. Reading real books. Is good for you actually.
Let me be completely clear - I’m not being a sarcastic ass. I’m just realizing all over again, in real time, for myself, that reading a real life published book makes your neurons feel like they’re getting a spa day. Like I can feel my brain getting juicer and wrinklier with every page I turn. This shit is no joke, this is like hard drugs if hard drugs were good for you and made your brain feel revived and alive.
@7redmoon nothing against some good fanfic, I’m a fic author myself, but there’s something very necessary and mentally nourishing about reading a published book that isn’t just a recycled version of the same cast of characters you’re already familiar with.
@911boofer I hope it’s okay I snagged these tags bc YES!!!!! This is what I’m talking about!!! Diversify your palettes, my friends, it’s so so good for you!!
It's true, though. As someone who loves to give away days to a deep dive into fic, you need a well-rounded diet. There are brilliant fic writers out there, both talented hobbyists and award-winning bestselling professionals indulging in some fun, but as stated above, we're all using pre-fab characters/worlds/plots to fiddle around with ideas that interest us. Original fiction draws inspiration from all that comes before it, but still attempts to create something new. It's all the retellings and reboots vs. a new movie.
More than that, even though people like to say "I read fic that's better than anything published!" that's... not widely true. Sometimes it is! But fic is a thing that can go up without editing, without any kind of checks. It can be bad and ungrammatical and typo-riddled and nonsensical, and that's okay! Because fic doesn't have to be in any way good! It's for pure experimentation and fun for the writer.
Traditionally published works, however, are meant to make money. They have multiple sets of trained eyes that try to make the final result the best it can be. Sometimes the final work falls short of that goal, sure, but there are steps to at least try to filter out some of the worst elements, which means you're ingesting and internalizing fewer bad habits, which is crucial when you're trying to figure out how to do this writing thing.
To reiterate, reading actual books means:
You're more likely to have solid examples to internalize during your own learning process.
You have greater scope to read original work that at least attempts to do new things you've never seen before.
You're reading works that have been vetted and refined multiple times by multiple people who do this for a living.
You're reading things made with the GOAL of being polished, deliberately crafted, enjoyable experiences (as opposed to fic, which can be dashed off and is for the writer, not the reader)
Anecdotally, reading a really good book has always made me feel creatively sated to the point that I then feel like I need to release some pressure via writing.
TL;DR: Read widely. Read voraciously. Writers do not live on fic alone.
The differences between my writing process and my sister’s can be summed up as:
Me: I can’t have a talking sword in any of my current stories, because the magic systems don’t work to make sapient weaponry possible.
Sister: So I was writing and then the mc’s sword started giving advice to her opponents.
IT’S ME AGAIN

I keep thinking about that one scene with Adolin and Sadeas. My man's like "Mwahahaha! You are powerless to stop me, Adolin! I will continue to undermine your father despite all that has happened! My plan is perfect! You and your bridgemen are nothing but dust under my boot! And the best part is I can gloat about it to you as much as I please in this here abandoned alleyway with absolutely no witnesses!"
And Adolin goes "No witnesses, you say?"
me: I just need a refill of the adhd meds I’ve been taking. Should be easy enough to get.
pharmacy:
pharmacy: we have created the least adhd-friendly process for refilling adhd medication we could think of.
me:
pharmacy: :)

The logical conclusion to all of the Mistborn= cat comparisons.
is anyone else trapped at the bottom of the abandoned well or is it just me
