#writer struggles

[stormfoxyy]

I'm rereading 'Let me be your wings' and oh boy...... I feel like my writing style has changed so much in 6 months! The sentences were so long wtf and also I caught at least 3 preposition mistakes – yeah cause I'm no English native speaker even tho I try really, really hard to seem like it lmao XD (nah jk it's just me being prideful ahaha) Also I'm trying to edit the formatting as I go (it was horrid not gonna lie) but I might not have time to do everything right now soooooooo perhaps half the fic will be with proper English quotation marks in the dialogues and the other half with incorrect French formatting and perhaps it will remain like that for a few days until I do the rest.... But I really want to finish writing that story so I will not give up on it. I still think I did some things good – it just always feels awful to reread a past work cause then you see all the mistakes (But then that means I improved! yayyy!!)

Anyways, have a good weekend <3

I could think of individual stories for over 30 characters in the same story with each one having the same amount of depth but I cant think of squat for this guy

Boy do i love being a writer

Remember, kids. You don’t need drugs to be a tortured artist. I’m managing just fine sober

I'm this close to going to a pool to see how tf I can adapt martial arts underwater bc how do mers even fight??? A civilization has its weapons and weaponry has means of wielding, thus martial arts. But normal shit we use on the surface does not translate into underwater AND to tail, so now I have to come up with shit for it except I am deadly afraid of deep water after four too many near drownings.

Oh the fucking issues of a writer, am I right?

Also I need to think about the weaponry because as nice as tridents are, they are so useless underwater because most of the wielding of a trident consists of moves that water resistance would make unnecesarily energy consuming. So, short and thin blades? Idk I need to look into it more.

How I feel going to edit one of my old unfinished 5k word fics because my writing style has changed

realistically, it will possibly take me 10 minutes or more to finally finish the chapter if i REALLY push through. instead, i am spending the 10 minutes i need scrolling tumblr and ao3. god help me
