please please please please reblog if you’re a writer and have at some point felt like your writing is getting worse. I need to know if I’m the only one who’s struggling with these thoughts

this is a common phenomenon. the better you get, the more you recognize flaws. the good thing is you can strive to get better. but the bad thing is that you see nothing but flaws. you are actually getting better, but your editing/critical brain is getting tuned up and can see more things to improve. someone post the graph, I can't find it

nvm I found it myself:

"art" can mean any creative endeavor and it definitely applies to writing.

Writing Quotes ☼

Ok so let me just get this out. Ziva was raised to be the sharp end of the spear. The warrior. The soldier. The muscle. She was raised to be a weapon, and sacrifice if necessary for any number of her father’s causes. She was not allowed to question. She was expected to follow orders and die if necessary. Ziva was taught that she was expendable. She was never allowed to just be a little girl.

Truth or Consequences was Ziva David’s first encounter with someone, anyone going out of their way to rescue, save, and find her. This concept was foreign to Ziva. She was in the middle of sacrificing herself for her father, to “prove herself,” when she heard those words.

You know the words.

She had never seen herself as worth more than the mission. Tony turned her world upside down with this one. She was so broken. Her eyes, the darkness. Post Somalia Tony was different, just as Post Somalia Ziva was different. The shift. And I say all of that to say this…

Spin-off Tony is a father. An older, wisened father, and he has context now to look back and tell Ziva that Fuck Mossad. Dads don’t send their daughters to die and be raped and tortured for a cause. Spin-off Tony will be a protector. When Tali’s life is in danger, there is no obstacle that will keep him from protecting his baby, and his…safe house roomie.

“I didn’t want to appear to favor you.”

“They all think you favor me anyway.”

“Maybe because I do.”

“I had some conversations with Clyde Phillips - the character was really his design. He was talking about this relationship between me and Deb, Jennifer Carpenter, and this whole thing about the age difference and how we were going to play that, and did I have any insights about that? I said, ‘Well… I’m afraid I do, since I’m actually 25 years older than my wife. So I’ve been living a scandalous life for some time now. What would you like to know?’ Listen, when my wife and I first met, I thought no, this is ridiculous, this is impossible. I told them about a conversation I had with Hayley, my wife. We were doing a movie and we had dinner, and it was becoming apparent that there was some fire there. And I said to her, 'Sweetie, you have to understand, I have t-shirts older than you.’ This did not stop her. It was actually that conversation with Clyde that led him to the line with Debra when we’re sitting on the bench and I say, 'I know the lyrics to elevator music.’ It’s a great line. It’s a better line than the t-shirt line, actually.”
