ooh so you like my blog? name five of my fetishes

oops i picked up what i thought was a sweet BL and it cold-opened on uncensored anal

#not even glowing!!

I don’t think that should be a controversial opinion! The concept of “I can’t do this YET” is the core of growth mindset, which is the golden rule for modern education (at least in my school district). I had that drilled into me like crazy growing up, but I truly believe it

We even had growth mindset/mastery based grading scale where recent work was weighted higher.

I think it’s a really healthy and positive outlook. Every day you get a little better. It might take a very long time, don’t stress, you’re not there yet. But you will be!

Fixed intelligence and fixed talent is a myth, the reality is a mix of privilege, culture, and luck. Everything is a skill that can be cultivated, through making mistakes and learning and getting better. The people who make you believe otherwise are people who don’t want to see you succeed!

Sorry rant over! I just woke up it’s 5AM and I have strong feelings

no i agree entirely! i don't actually 100% understand why so many people are against the idea that they could improve? i guess it's kind of scary to think that you're not adequately good at something but personally i find it way more encouraging to realize you could get better than to tell yourself you're like, delusional and are secretly amazing at what you're doing and are only failing to execute it because of a personal flaw (like a lack of confidence, lack of creativity etc.) if that makes sense.

i do. in all honestly. if i'm being so fucking real. take a very 'get good' attitude towards writing by which i mean you can learn the necessary skills to improve yourself but you're never going to get there if you spend all your time moping about how you're not good enough or about how you're too delicate to learn. like yeah maybe you're not good enough to execute what you want to write YET. the YET is pivotal. you gotta keep your eyes on the yet. however every time i post something like this on main someone threatens to kill themselves so i don't do that anymore.

also just in general i think people should consider getting critique partners instead of betas -- like obviously having a beta ready is great BUT i think a lot of people would feel way more comfortable receiving critique if they were also on the other end of the equation sometimes. giving critique is really difficult and sometimes authors don't realize or appreciate this. it's also just fun to exchange writing with other people. idk. beta readers are rightfully very valued in fandom spaces but there are other options if that dynamic doesn't work for you.

there's also the option of just not having anyone read over your work and that's completely fine but. coming over to my side blog to say this because i KNOW people will get mad if i put this on main. yes it will stunt your growth as a writer. sorry. them's the breaks.

one thing i see people fake their way through a lot is japan and japanese culture and listen i am not an expert, i've never lived there, i fake my way through a lot too but every so often i see something absolutely wild happen in a fic and it's kind of like. funny? endearing? idk.

#there's a really popular fic that does something absolutely hilarious #i can't say what it is bc you'd all recognize it instantly and im not here to put people on blast like that
