I wish I was a female tiger because then if I was talking to someone and I was getting off topic I could say “but I tigress,” and then kill and eat them because I am a tiger

Phoenix and AUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH.

I have a whole THING about being stuck in stupid ass CYCLES. They can't even DIE, and they don't come back DIFFERENT, it's fucking DUMB.

Maybe I could be an Asian style phoenix and just be pretty and auspicious instead?

Truly one of the best “Tiny Desk Concerts” I’ve had the pleasure of watching/listening to, ever.

i have gotten increasingly suspicious of art posts that just have an artist’s name and no other identifying info. i routinely image search those and used to be if it seemed to fit with the artist’s style and subject matter i’d say good enough and assume the image was from a fleeting website or a scan. i don’t feel like i can do that anymore. if i can’t find the exact image on a reputable site i don’t like it don’t reblog it. it doesn’t help that google has kneecapped their own reverse image search, which for all the issues with regular search was still the best image search engine. now it spits AI summaries at me and the exact matches tab shows me nothing. even if there ARE exact matches. i can SEE them.

anyway. sorry. if you like to post art by fine artists on tumblr please please include the source. in the body in the tags whatever. think of your friend door, slowly going mad trying to determine if a painting is real.

Cytherea looked faintly amused by the blade that was a finger’s breadth away from being buried in her jugular. She drawled, “Is this meant to kill me?”

I have this nebulous idea that the Marie Kondo method actually applies really well to editing the first complete draft of a story and I just…could write a whole essay about it but that might be all there is to it? Going through part by part and asking if this sparks joy and dropping it mercilessly into the discard doc if it doesn’t???

[lonelinessisadisease]

Not to derail anything, but I I literally never even thought of having “discard docs.” Like, I’m always so sad and hesitant to not include pieces of my story because I don’t want to get rid of it. Yeah, I have draft docs, but its hard for me to actually remove stuff from finished products. Idk if this idea was already public knowledge and I’m just slow on the uptake, because I know lots of writers will include removed bits from one story into another, but I just never thought about the process?

Anyways I will be making discard docs now

[avelera]

Not at all! Having a separate document for discards passages, rather than deleting them, is a common tool but it’s just that, a tool, and with creative writing being quite commonly a self-taught discipline it’s not at all uncommon for even “common” tools to not be known by everyone, y'know?

But to wax poetic about the discard doc for a second, whenever I start a story of any length, I’ll create a second “notes” document which is a scratch pad and a dumping ground for any passages I end up cutting. Sometimes I’ll even toss as little as a half a sentence in there rather than delete it entirely because I might come back and realize the first version of what I wrote was the best and most visceral, while later versions I tried were too tell-y, for example, and boom! First version is still there, in the discard doc, rather than deleted.

Discard docs can be a marvelous tool for editing, as they allow you to trim down your main draft of the manuscript without the pain of actually losing what you’ve written (and, IMO, if you’re going for a daily word count like for NaNoWriMo, those words absolutely SHOULD count, you wrote them after all, just because they don’t end up in the finished product doesn’t mean they aren’t valuable for the goal of writing the story!). They also allow you to experiment a bit with what you put in or take out to see which version you like better. Best of all, maybe you hit a passage later in the story and realize the phrasing that didn’t fit earlier fits REALLY well here, well, there it is in your discard doc!

Seriously, discard docs are the absolute BEST, I’m a writerly pack rat who won’t delete anything, and if you’re at all like me I highly, highly recommend them!

[writeroftheprompts]

I absolutely recommend a discard doc! As a writerly pack rat as well, I have a discard doc. AND I keep a version of every draft. I have my master document but after every draft I copy and paste it all into a separate doc so that if need be I can go back and see every version of the project. I think this can be really helpful when you make big changes from one draft to another and sometimes you might lose important details in the editing. If you ever need to go back and decide that actually the scene worked better in the last draft or forgot to fix that plot hole after rewriting a whole chapter you have it all in context too. I think it’s sort of like preliminary sketches that help an artist with the final painting.

The Marie Kondo approach OP mentioned is definitely easier when you don’t have to worry about losing all your (maybe not so) incredible ideas. You can keep your trash separate from your beautiful work of art. Some people prefer to just cut and let it go away forever, which is also totally fine, so don’t feel like you need to do things the ways that others do it either.
