Writing advice

Real talk here, especially for writing longer works:

You need to trust yourself to pull it together by the end, even if you think you’re going completely off the rails. The trust might be unfounded, hell, you might even be wrong, but you need to do it.

Trust your story. Trust the point you want to get across. Trust your subconsciousness to get it right. Because the moment you start to doubt and second guess yourself, you stall. Get to the end, then you can see if you succeeded or not.

Trust yourself.

[authoressasusual]

“Trust yourself”.

In writing, in creating, in art - TRUST is the most important word. Creativity - creating something from scratch - is inherently risky. Creativity is scary. It’s going into the unknown jungle without a map. It’s picking your way in the dark, hoping you might find the light switch - or fall off a cliff.

And it requires a great amount of courage. And courage only comes with TRUST.

There’s a reason why TRUST is my word of the month, folks. Trust yourself. Trust your story. Trust that even though you don’t know what you’re doing right now, you’ll know it, sooner or later, if you keeping moving forward, and - guess what? it’ll feel fricking amazing when you do.

I legitimately thought this would get like 3 notes when I uploaded it. I’m blown away by the response. I’m truly grateful to everyone who liked and rebloged this. I’m over the moon that people seem to like it!

Encounter: a Tutchi-Fili, a curious but largely harmless aberration that enjoys collecting rare and exotic textures. If threatened or startled, it defends itself by making a grapple attack and delivering an attack as Vampiric Touch, except instead of necrotic damage it deals Psychic. It can also use Cleansing Touch on itself or others.

That’s basically a naked woman I’m YELLING

[houroftheantichristwolf]

What a pervert. What the FUCK does he not know how clothes work? What the hypothetical fuck is she wearing then if we can see all that?

[auntiewanda]

It’s like how bath towels in comics miraculously wrap completely around breasts. Or how even when injured and dead on the ground women in comics have to be twisted into “sexy” poses. Or how women in comics walk like they’re in high heels even barefoot. 

It’s the only way men know how to draw women, because to them female characters are only there to be sexy. They only think of “women” as exploitative costumes and camera angles, high heels and titillation. Sex objects to ogle, plot objects to further male heroes’ narratives and drama, not heroes to cheer for. 

[brithwyr-deactivated20170122]

I’m sorry, I was labouring under the impression that this was the crowd that thought women should wear what they want..?

[auntiewanda]

And that applies to fictional women who are depicted by men how? You can’t apply agency in the plot to something metatextual when it comes to fictional characters. 

[brithwyr-deactivated20170122]

Come on, let’s not pretend this is a male exclusive thing.

[auntiewanda]

We’re going to have this argument are we? Not to mention you’re deviating from the original point that attributing agency to fictional characters’ clothing is asinine. 

What you have here are images of power, and do you really believe these characters are designed with titillating heterosexual women and bisexual and homosexual men in mind? Because I don’t think you do.

This is why the Hawkeye Initiative exists. Take common female poses in comics, put a man in the role, and see how “empowering” and “strong” it actually looks:

He got the painting for fighting against ‘censorship.’ Note that they handed him a gross design of a female being objectified, because at the end of the day, that is all they really want, to be allowed to objectify women. They don’t care about censorship in general it is about their ability to sexualise and degrade women without consequence.

I think the best imagery I’ve seen to explain the difference between what men think male objectification is vs what women actually want to see is the Hugh Jackman magazine covers.

Hugh Jackman on a men’s magazine. He’s shirtless and buff and angry. He’s imposing and aggressive. This is a male power fantasy, it’s what men want to be and aspire to - intense masculinity.

Hugh Jackman on a women’s magazine.  He looks like a dad. He looks like he’s going to bake me a quiche and sit and watch Game of Thrones with me. He looks like he gives really good hugs.

Men think women want big hulking naked men in loin cloths which is why they always quote He-Man as male objectification - without realizing that He Man is naked and buff in a loin cloth because MEN WANT HIM TO BE. More women would be happy to see him in a pink apron cutting vegetables and singing off-key to 70s rock.

Men want objects. Women want PEOPLE.

This is the first time I have EVER seen this false equivalence articulated so well. Thank you.

Get beyond the anticipation of the future based on the past. The only moment in time that exists is now. When you overthink your past, you do this in the present moment. When you worry about the future, you do this in the present moment. According to doctor Joe Dispenza, most people live in their past. It has become the core of their subconscious. They hold on to things that happened 10 or 20 years ago. 

As long as you look back, you can’t move forward. You have to get rid of your past mentality. You have to understand that you’re not this person anymore. Memory without emotional baggage is wisdom, remember. Use this wisdom. Use it to your advantage. Utilize the power of the present moment. The only time you have is NOW. Stop worrying about the future. Realize that the best way to predict the future is to create it. And you only can create something new when you let go of the things that no longer serve you.

Please remember that the effort you put in each day never goes by unnoticed. It continues to turn the invisible gears of your life, operating behind the an unseen curtain of purity. Even when it gets tiring, exhaustive, and absolutely excruciating, please remember this; Your hard work will pay off. Keep at it, and it will.
