it is important to cling to wonder btw

many people grow up and forget what it feels like to be a child. we must remember this. we have to remember what a joy it is to play. to learn. to build connections. to grow. to experience. we must hold onto the things that awe us. we are changed by what we love

In light of the Winter Olympics happening, I decided I'd finally find the password to this account again lol. Just to reminisce on my time with Yuri On Ice and all the stories I found and made with them. In doing so too, I realized it's time to delete a lot of things. Coming back to this Tumblr made me realize how much it all weighed on me. For the longest time I dreaded logging on here, and so I avoided it. Even tried creating a whole separate new account, but found that even then, that dread and anxiety continued to fill me.

I guess I write this post as a final way of saying good bye, and to hopefully move on. There were good and bad times, and I hate that the bad outweighed the good. I'm still undecided if I will really start to come back to this place. I can create a new space while saying goodbye to the old and finding the new again. Then again, I might just say goodbye forever to this site. If only because this place is where I hit rock bottom.

I am sad to see some of my memories go. Unfortunately I did have to say goodbye to them so that I could get rid of the ones I don't want to keep. For that, I'm glad one of my friends made me help transfer all of our messages onto another platform. I am also terribly embarrassed because while I was going through things, I accidentally sent a random character to someone who I absolutely did not want to interact with. I guess that's what I get for originally doing it on my phone and not on my laptop.

Anyways

Writing this, I realize I feel like I can return to this place. I want to. I think of all the things I've done on here every so often, from friendships to fan fiction I've written and posted on here, and feel nostalgic. There are so many terrible things in life, and I'd like to start enjoying the things I want to.

It's why I'm going back to school, and why I'm going to study abroad. It's time for me to stop letting anxiety take hold of me and control what I do or don't do with my life.

Maybe this is a post I'm writing for my therapist lol. She's starting her own practice but won't be ready to accept clients for another couple months or so. She always did say writing would be good for me to do. Maybe that's what I'll do. I'll turn this page to a rambling of things so I can document what I'll need to catch my therapist up on. Typing would be better than actually writing anyways

These kind of messages are about joint publishing at best.

There are three ways to publish: the traditional one with a publishing house, self-publishing and joint publishing. NEVER choose the last one.

The first one consists basically in you selling the exploitation rights to your writing to the publishing house, which will pay you a percentage of what they get from your work. You just write, send them the finished work, and they do all the rest, from formatting to selling and advertising. You get less money, but also less risk, because the risk is on the house.

Self-publishing is you doing literally everything. You write, edit, lay out, go to the printing house, all the legal stuff... Everything. You pay for everything, assume all the risks, and also have 100% of the creative control, which is the main advantage of this way. You also get all the money from selling instead of just a percentage.

Joint publishing? Sketchy as all hell. Usually it's a printing house posing as a publishing house, but they make you pay for the printing. They can be direct and give you a budget, or they might be shady and say stuff like "you have to buy the first X copies" or "you have to personally sell X copies" or something like that.

Which means that you, the author, are covering all the expenses of the printing and distribution, and assuming all the risks, while they, as the "publishing house", get the bigger percentage of the selling and the exploitation rights.

It's a scam. As much as you want to publish your writing, don't trust anybody who comes to you like this. They don't care about the quality or whatever, they probably didn't even read your fics, they just want to publish stuff basically free (because the author pays for the production) so they get most of the money from selling.

Please be careful with this kind of messages!

(image id: 5 gifs stacked vertically. they all have a black background, white border, and white text, all of which look like they could have been sketched and are shifting slightly. the first gif reads "hey,". the second, "you did a lot today". the third, "time to rest, it's okay". the fourth, "you did good today". the fifth, "you're okay". /end id)
