''what If My Writing Isn't Good Eno--'' What If It's A Reflection Of Your Soul. What If It Has A Place

me making my oc a worse person

I love you mean girls in literature, I love you manipulative and scheming elder sisters of the protagonists, I love you ambitious women washing damned spots from bloody hands, I love you “she was always the perfect/favorite child,” I love you Emma Woodhouses and Caroline Bingleys, I love you mean girls with complex and morally questionable but ultimately understandable motivations, I love you mean girls they called evil and never bothered to explain at all, I love you mean girls who are not even girls, I love you queen bees, bullies, cheerleading captains, and heads of the school play in teen flicks, I love you weapons of war and calculating politicians and manipulators of royal court, I love you sirens and succubi and vampiresses, I love you changed by the end, I love you still the same bitch as before-

my beloved writers,

you need to seriously challenge your mindset of writing for likes and such. You already know you should write for yourself, so do it.

It does not matter. They are numbers.

If your productivity and motivation are tied to how much positive feedback you get, you are killing the artist inside of you. To be an artist means to not be chained down by anything - not opinions, not feedback, not an audience.

It is no complex, hard task to stop caring. Just stop. Stop caring for it. I promise, it will be the most freeing thing you can do for your mind.

Sincerely,

a long recovered Wattpad-Reads-Obsessor.

me going home after a long day to see my husband (he is fictional)

being a writer is writing an action scene and making the sound effects out loud for full immersion

also what’s with the narrative that when there’s a disabled body it has to be fixed? Implying that it is not right the way it is.

Not every disabled life is a physically painful experience.

Disability is natural, disability happens. The difficulty of being disabled by an outside world that barely adjusts to your needs is the problem, not the disabled body.

A lot of suffering disabled people go through is made up of people not caring/looking out and the societal idea that a disabled body is a broken body that has to be pitied.

I will die on this hill.

such an important post!

it’s just. GOD. even *slightly* implying that disability could be good or desirable or even completely neutral makes everyone come out of the woodwork to say that Disability Is Nothing But Suffering. and I just want to stare them down and say. my chronically ill ass knows about suffering and I do not need that suffering compounded by some annoying asshole who ultimately imagines me as a burden

noticing trends in your own ocs personalities can make you stare at your keyboard like. okay motherfucker take it to the therapist office not the toyhouse profile.
