When U Dont Like Ur Art Take A Deep Breath And Remember U Created It From Nothing, Like A God

It's a valid fear, but I think the benefits outweigh the possibility of that happening. Reading books from the genre/s you want to write is an excellent way to learn the rules etc of the genre, so then it'll be easier to follow or subvert readers' expectations. Plus, even if you are heavily influenced by others' work, I believe it will evolve and become more original as you go.

I want to read other books in the genre(s) I'm writing in, but I'm also afraid that if I do, those books will end up influencing my own writing too much, and I'll end up writing something that's effectively a copy of something else. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Is my fear well-founded?

crazy how fanfic authors drop the most beautiful and gorgeous pieces of work ever, leaving you speechless and sobbing at three in the morning as you quietly contemplate the masterpiece you just read

and they don’t get paid for it they just do it because they’re having fun and they want to share their joy with you

like I would literally die for all of you fanfic authors out there reblog to swear your allegiance to fanfic authors

apparently, having the wip document open on my computer while making tumblr posts about writing does not make words appear on the screen. interesting.

My boss: "You seem distracted today."

Me: "I'm fine, don't worry."

My brain: "OK, Scene #237 from a book we probably won't start writing for about five years, Take #4,889,023. Action!"

Me: "Oh God please make it stop."

My boss: "What?"

Me: "What?"
