The Only Thing I Can Say About Writing Right Now Is That You Don’t Need To Polish Or Even Finish Everything

The only thing I can say about writing right now is that you don’t need to polish or even finish everything you write. Unfinished works hold value just as intrinsically as finished ones; if finishing a project holds no appeal, move on. Maybe one day you’ll return to it, find an idea to nurture and raise. Maybe you’ll never look at it again, but the words were still written. The sentences were crafted. This unfinished thing is a sketch, then, forgotten in the depths of your sketchbook; why should we hold writers to different standards than other artists? Play around and have fun. Finish projects if you want to; move on if you don’t. Don’t guilt yourself over something with no moral bearing. Just write.

One ironic thing that I love about the hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy is that Douglas Adams apparently was determined to write and create a sci-fi story that showed the future positively, to avoid it being like the depressive prediction of the future that blade runner portrayed. That being said, the first hitchhiker book starts with the main character's house being bulldozed to build a bypass by the council, then immediately after this happens, the entire earth is also destroyed for a space bypass by an intergalactic council

Lots of CBT therapists claim that reducing the patient to an incoherent sobbing mess every session is how therapy is supposed to work. Lots of them sit there smiling proudly when they torment a patient past coherent thought, and they make no effort to support or stabilize that patient. Same energy as a child burning ants with a magnifying glass. Except that in this case, the child is claiming that the ants are responsible for the fire actually, and that they can stop being on fire if they ~*~*~*jUsT bE MiNdFuL*~*~*~ while doing a bunch of pointless fucking worksheets.

If CBT feels abusive to you, then it IS. It can be very invalidating to people with PTSD/c-PTSD, chronic pain, and other conditions because it refuses to acknowledge the real world, instead framing everything as the patient's silly little delusions. If this feels like your situation, then the bravest thing you can do is end therapy and remove yourself. You deserve compassionate help, not another predator enjoying your pain.

I hate the animefication of the characters post aa4. The whitewashing (giving phoenix and Maya blue eyes) is so fucked up but also the characters are generally less Round and more Pointy and it sucks so bad. Aa6 phoenix looks WEIRD to me who is that guy. The official art for the trilogy is so warm and nice and silly in comparison. Just wanted to say this thanks.

you have to remember, if you're truly writing niche fiction, unusual fiction (and I don't mean writing popular tropes with a twist, or writing within well-selling genres but "a bit different") but truly odd, speculative and experimental fiction, unless you're insanely and extremely lucky, your reader-base is always going to be smaller and harder to find and establish than generic, run-of-the-mill material, because the readers are scarce/uncommon as well 💕
