FINAL DAY, PEOPLE
I’ll see you all in a few months
There’s 3 hours left!!
Having just finished my first year of my screenwriting masters program, i wanna share this thing that I was told at the very start of the year that I have not been able to stop thinking about
they got all 28 of us screenwriters in a room on like the second day and straight up told us—
“you will suffer for your entire career if you make this into a competition.”
they told us that, while we might like the write similar things, like in the same genre, or same settings—we’d never be in competition, simply because we were all different people.
from our big differences in life experience and in personality, down to our smaller differences in story preferences and writing style, it all made everything we all did unique.
and while we were all one of a million people trying to achieve the same goal of making writing a career—individually we were the only ones who could tell our stories.
You are the only one who can write like you, who can draw like you, who can cosplay like you, who can sing like you, who can make art like you. Don’t ruin the love you have for your craft by comparing yourself to others, by putting yourself in competition with them just because you want to be “the best”.
And finally, here’s the tough love part that we all got reminded of constantly—
The moment you decide you are better than everyone, is the moment you fail. Because you will have closed yourself off to valuable critique. You will have inflated your ego so big that the second you get rejected you’ll spiral. You will have become so high and mighty that one day you’ll look around and realize you have pushed all of your peers, and your entire support system, away.
There literally is no “best”. There is only growing with others as artists, supporting your peers, and telling your story in the way only you can. That’s how you succeed.
Don’t ask me to explain this, but writing fiction is kind of like playing four-dimensional chess against yourself
why now
A growing body of evidence shows that taking regular breaks from mental tasks improves creativity and that skipping breaks can lead to stress, exhaustion, and creative block.
The ideas you have while commuting, or in the shower are not coincidental. They’re a result of you taking a step back, whether you’re aware of it or not. The brain is built to detect and respond to change. Prolonged attention to a single task actually hinders performance.
From “For a More Creative Brain, Take Breaks on Purpose,” by Thomas Oppong

my bad, should have reblogged from here.
Oh my gods, guys, this looks so useful!!
Reblogging for future reference.
A reference I desperately needed
For all those seafaring adventurers.
THE FIRST DRAFT:
THE SECOND DRAFT:
THE THIRD + DRAFT:
THE FINAL DRAFT:
Never be discouraged by your first draft!
If you work it long enough, it will bend and mold into your hands until it transforms into whatever you wish— don’t give up!
Also: Never compare your first draft to someone else’s final draft!
There’s a ton of revisions, rewriting, and editing that goes on that readers never get to see. Nobody’s first draft comes out looking like their final draft!
planning your stupid shit-ass fucking novel:
you can know the ending or the beginning but if you know both then you will never ever sort the middle out
why do i need more characters can’t this plot resolve itself without me introducing more characters
i am going to kill literally everyone in this chapter here and then i can just ride the trauma wave through to the next act
there isn’t room for the romantic subplot
there isn’t room for this subplot either
this was meant to be a minor point why is it taking over the entire second act
[research this] *never researches it*
stop obsessing about your framing device and sort out the plot holes
stop obsessing about the likely reaction of tumblr to individual characters and sort out the plot holes
fine just fucking live in a plot hole you piece of shit
is this the same team dynamic as the last four books
yes
it’s my fucking novel i’ll write what i want
oh god what if no one likes it
stop writing imaginary reviews from people who hate you and sort out the plot holes
right i’ve sorted out the middle but now the ending doesn’t work
Okay, time to explain some things about writing as I’ve experienced them, ymmv.
When you know the beginning (hard stop), and you know the end (hard stop), then the middle sometimes becomes impossible because it has to follow strictly from point A (the beginning) to point B (the end). Plot holes usually exist because a writer is trying to force a story to travel from Point A to Point B, but that journey may not be a logical journey, so you’ll almost inevitably reach a point where you can’t figure out how the characters move from A to B reasonably.
So here’s where I give you the best advice anyone ever, ever gave me: when you can’t win, redefine winning.
If you work out the middle and the ending or the beginning no longer works, don’t be afraid to toss it out the window and give the story the new ending or beginning it needs. There’s a phrase I’m sure lots of you have heard: “kill your darlings” well guess what? That beginning and ending you KNEW had to be a certain way? Those are your darlings, too. Sometimes, improving the story means culling parts you like or thought you knew to replace them with things that work better.
When you can’t win, redefine winning.
I once spent 10+ years writing and rewriting a story over and over and over, I must have gone through 20 partial drafts of this fucking story, only to have an epiphany one day about why I could never get it right; I was telling it from the wrong character’s perspective. Did that require a huge reassessment of the entire story? yes. But it’s a better story now.
When you can’t win, redefine winning.
I have, for the past two years or so, been struggling with starting a story I had already written once. It already had a beginning, middle, and end. I had literally already written it once as fanfic, and I wanted to write it as an original, and for some reason, it would just NOT start for me. Two days ago, I finally let go of the story structure I had used, and instead of starting the story at the beginning, I am now starting it at the end, and it’s solving all sorts of problems.
When you can’t win, redefine winning.
I spent the last 5 years or so thinking a long, long fic I’ve been working on ended a certain way. I had quit writing the story for years because I Knew that was how the story ended and I didn’t want to write it. A year ago I started sorting out the middle better, and I realized that although those events still happen, the ones I don’t like, the story didn’t end where I thought it did. The story kept going, and ended somewhere else, beyond the things I didn’t like. The story ends in a way better place, and now I’m well on my way to finishing it.
When you can’t write the story you thought you knew, redefine the story.
Sometimes you just have to let go of what you know, and let the story try something else. Let that minor plot point take over the second act just to see where it goes (and don’t be afraid to throw it all out if it doesn’t go anywhere interesting). Cut the romantic subplot out. Cut that other subplot too, even though you really liked it. If the middle is giving you guff, throw the middle off its game and let the story start or end somewhere else. Nothing is set in stone, even after it’s typed.
Do you have any advice for a writer who's constantly getting discouraged? I love writing fic, but I never post or even finish most things because I always end up feeling like my writing isn't good enough, that I don't properly *get* the characters/ship/source, and that no one will actually enjoy what I put out there. I've even stopped reading fics because I kept getting really upset comparing myself & thinking I'd never be as good so why even try. It's frustrating and I don't know what to do.
Ah, the eternal struggle. It’s a tough one and i’ve postponed answering it for AGES, i’m very sorry.
i guess the struggle is that although you might KNOW, theoretically, that you can only get better through practice, that fanfic is for fun, that everyone’s style is different etc, but you still FEEL as if your writing should be great from the start, and you can’t shake off the feeling. I know it is for me, and it does stop me from writing more often than not.
Maybe. Maybe trick yourself. Make a new account for your “shitty” fic. With zero expectations. Deactivate the comment notifications, and publish your fic as if you were tossing a bottled message into the ocean, never expecting anyone to read it. Post it that way, or let a friend do it for you. And then forget about it. Let a few weeks or months pass before checking that account again, and then let yourself be surprised by the answers it may have gotten. i think this could be a way to remove pressure.
Other advice and experience, dear followers?
I got really excited seeing this ask because finally! Someone that feels exactly like I do!! Then I realized this might actually be the ask I sent forever ago. I could be wrong, but it sounds scarily like me so, perhaps.
I know for me at least, it’s very much a disconnect between knowing those facts– that different readers like different types of writing, that it’s just for fun, that there’s not really a *wrong* way to write fic, and so on –and then actually, believing them when it comes to my own writing. It always feels like unless it’s perfect, it’s not good enough at all, and since it’ll never be perfect then it can’t be good. A cycle of nightmares. The feeling like I don’t understand the source “properly” is an especially big issue I struggle with, though I’ve started to be better about adapting a “who cares! I like my view!” attitude, as much as I can.
It’s nice to know though, that I’m not the only one who gets hung up on that feeling and can’t write because of it. Just seeing this ask, before I thought it might be mine, was such a comfort because hey, they get that feeling too! Not just me! I like that idea though, of just throwing it out there and eventually seeing what happens. I would very much like to see, if people might actually like my writing. Now I just have to actually finish something so I give that a shot.
Thank you for this answer though, it was, encouraging to read actually. And made me happy.
(looking at the notes and at my own experience - it’s def not just you ;) )
Just throwing it in there, but I let perfection kill a good majority of what I wanted to do. Painting not perfect? Toss it. Can’t sing that high note? So long music. Writing not as good as my favorite author? Give up and never try again. It took me a lot of talking, I mean a lot, to finally accept these three words:
Let it suck.
Let your work suck. Let it be below that Anne Rice level, below Davinci, below every creator you look at with envious eyes. Why? Because they used to suck, too. They let themselves become great by letting themselves fail. You will become great, too. This is the first step. Let it suck.
LET IT SUCK
LET IT SUUU-UUUCK
Part of how badly-written fanfic helps children and young writers:
Kids in school are given endless examples of well-written stories, of excellent literature that has survived for decades or centuries, that hits all the right emotional beats, that has words that evoke exactly the feelings the authors intended.
And it’s intimidating. The kids read stories and later novels and think, “Wow, that’s great, but of course, that takes great talent and I could never do that.”
Introduce: FANFIC. And here’s writing about the characters they adore, and some of it is as well-written as the published-for-sale stuff, and some of it is… not. Some is badly-paced. Some overuses adverbs. Some switches POV accidentally. (A lot, sometimes.) Some messes up verb tenses. Some is awkwardly phrased.
And the kids think, “OH WOW STOries ABOUt whAT I LOVE!!!” and they also think “I could do this too! I want to play this game!” (I’ve heard several reports of kids whose writing skills got dramatically better when they discovered fanfic - because they found out that “write what you care about” is more important than “follow this list of grammar rules.”)
Your stories don’t need to be perfect. Fanfic is a community thing, and communities are full of people who don’t have perfectly trained skills and don’t have amazing natural talent.
Fanfic is not the equivalent of major league baseball try-outs. Fanfic is tossing the ball around at the park with your friends. It’s not more fun if everyone who’s not great at it, sits on the bench and watches.
Anyone who looks over at you and says “hey you suck at that so you should get out of the way of the talented people” is DOING FANDOM WRONG.
AO3 is not short on storage space. Your stories aren’t reducing the capacity for “more talented” writers, whoever those are. And writing gets better with practice; you can’t reach the level you want unless you get the stories out of your head and onto the page.
yes yes YEEEES
“I have to write to be happy whether I get paid for it or not. But it is a hell of a disease to be born with. I like to do it. Which is even worse. That makes it from a disease into a vice. Then I want to do it better than anybody has ever done it which makes it into an obsession. An obsession is terrible. Hope you haven’t gotten any. That’s the only one I’ve got left.”
— Ernest Hemingway

//MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS - HERE IS THE ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM OF FINDING THAT RIGHT WORD!!!!!
I’ve reblogged it before, and I’ll reblog it again
This list has saved my butt more than I wish to admit! I highly recommend saving for a rainy day!
Here are the art that I promised. Suddenly managed to get a few minutes to spare before I go back into my hole of assignments and midterm preparations of hell weeks.
Main four having a good time and relaxing. They deserve a break from all the angst.
The only regret is that I didn’t manage to fin the background for Alma and Kanda when my pen ran out of ink. It was supposed to be a farm and a mayo machine but then again, my perspectives and background isn’t all that good.
I’ll be busy for a bit but I’m working on the fluff/comfort scenario for Tyki…so you can expect that soon.
👌🏻I hope you all have a nice day and take care of urself! Remember to drink some water and take some time to relax even if it’s for a few minutes.
Love u all and see ya at the next post.
