Write it badly or it'll never be written

aquilacalvitium

Please keep interacting with this post because when I come to tumblr to procrastinate, this shows up again in my notifications and guilts me into writing again

Any first-ish draft is going to be crap. (With the usual note: if it's not crap when you write it, it will be later. Or large parts of it will be. You'll look at what came out of you at white heat [or even just in an everyday piece of work and kinda lukewarm] in two or three days, and it'll be crap then. It's frankly kind of astonishing how quickly perceived perfection turns to crap. It's almost like there's, I don't know, some kind of Entropy thing running or something.)

And this is fine. Move on past it and edit what you wrote.

Then write some more crap.

My cousin in Thoth, this is how it goes. This is how it will always go. Even when you become a career writer—thirty, forty, fifty novels along—it will still be crap when it first comes out.

AND THIS IS OKAY. The essential imperfection of the Universe makes it impossible for your initial emission to be perfect either.

(And if you think it is... wait till your betas or your copyeditor get at it.) :)

So now go do more. Because otherwise, nothing gets done. ...And then where are we?!

Star Wars is like DC but instead of having a multiverse where different writers create their own interpretations of the characters everything takes place in 1.5 timelines and none of the writers consult each other and if you point out how things contradict each other and don’t take the contradictions as cannon you’re considered a hater

personally i think the reason Batman is really good with kids is because he more or less hitchhiked his way across europe and asia fully intending to wilderness man his through it during his training years but local families kept taking one look at him and thinking 'that skrunkly young man needs help' and would take him in for a night or more and task him with watching the toddler and up kids cause it was the one thing they were sure he couldn't fuck up

#i love the idea that the time he spends traveling isnt just him training; but also the beginning of him learning#to let go of his anger and finding forgiveness and love and community#the same things that will come to define his role as batman and mr wayne and as a parent by @tangerinetrees

it's so important to me that his traveling isn't just him learning to fight and be a detective, cause it would have been so easy for him to have never let go of the anger that way, he is a very rich very privileged man who's parents were killed in a robbery, it would have been SO easy for him to decide all poor people were the problem, to latch on to some kind of hatred and grief fueled prejudice to ease the pain and be just another rich asshole who thinks harder laws would fix the problem or to just import world class trainers

choosing to turn away from that was the first step in being a hero instead, but i think the next several were in traveling the world, in seeing places outside of Gotham and america, not even in a "wow now that i'm talking to them maybe poor people are people" but in a "oh shit i'm being helped by so many different kinds of people and i'm falling in love with all of them" kind of way, in a "i expected to be alone and miserable while i turn myself into a machine but people keep touching me gently" kind of way

he first steps out of Gotham and he's so cold and angry and hard and bitter when he leaves but everywhere he goes there is kindness and laughter and a space freely offered to rest his head and food snuck into his pockets and Bruce holds it all in his hands and weeps because how can he not love them all? how can he not think there is goodness in them all? how can this not irrevocably change him as a person for the better?

Hi sorry i just gotta

HE changed for the better and he’s a terrible person so clearly anyone can change

From your tags because Bruce recognizing his own growth and and it translating into the basis for his overwhelming and unabiding belief in everyone’s ability to change and everyone’s right to a second (and third and fourth and fifth and -) chance has me chewing on my walls excuse me
