Write a conversation between your protagonist and their younger self. What warnings, regrets, or encouragement would each offer?

Character has a PhD: they’re really smart and knowledgable about their field!

Character has 2 PhDs: either they did a dual degree program and are braggy about it, had a life-changing experience after their first degree and pivoted their whole career, or they find the structure of being a PhD student, despite all its stress, more comfortable and familiar than the stress of finding a Real Job and have a very indulgent advisor.

Character has 3 PhDs: who keeps accepting them to PhD programs. Either this person needs psychological help or their department needs to be investigated for its academic standards. Probably both

Character has 4+ PhDs: if they aren’t an undercover vampire or something then no they don’t lol

as an author who did lots of fantasy genre research don't get me started on how much time goes into nature/plants (!) animals food and architecture

The problem with having OCs is that sometimes you wanna read about your little guy being in situations but unfortunately he is YOUR little guy and no one is gonna put him in that situation but you. Tragic.

The two wolves inside every writer: "this is genuinely the best thing i have ever written. i am gifted. i am changed. this paragraph alone justifies my entire existence on this planet." and then five minutes later, same paragraph: "who wrote this. who allowed this. this reads like a golden retriever trying to describe grief. i need to lie down and reconsider everything." both wolves are always wrong. the paragraph is fine. you need a snack.

Unemployment is killing me. But at least it means I can draw all my fictional kiddos.

Writers have two modes and they are "i haven't written in three weeks and i am rotting from the inside and everything feels wrong and i don't know who i am anymore" and "i wrote for four hours straight and forgot to eat and it's dark outside and when did that happen and i feel like a god" and there is nothing in between. no chill. no medium setting. just famine or feast and a very confused nervous system.

Some plants cannot be harvested by modern means. To gather the most valuable of these delicate seeds, I travel to the nearest fairy ring and trade my good fortune for enough fairy dust to shrink me down to the size of a thimble for a week. The profits are worth the string of stubbed toes and the hours spent hunting for my car keys.

The thing about fae is that they care deeply for debts; I can see it in the way their eyes flare when I finish ringing up their order and answer their thanks with a neutral no problem.

I’m always polite, but I like to make it very clear to the Fair Folk that they’re not welcome.

About to emotionally compromise myself on this series again.
