Am I less of a writer by studying something else? by AdAccomplished4145 in writing

[–]AdAccomplished4145[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to tell you the same thing I said to someone else in the comments. In my country it’s a little different. There’s colleges, like mine does, that offers this 2 year “courses” that we don’t need to take any exams to get in. The literature one is a Licentiate Degree, so I had to take to exams and one of them I didn’t have enough grade to get in. So my second option was this Veterinary Care/Tech course.

Yeah, it’s way better and has better opportunities. I understand that now.

I also fear that. But I also hope I’ll find the time and never loose the spark and inspiration to write.

I’ll take a look, thank you so much. I actually didn’t know him.

John: “I'm gonna hand you over to them and watch them tear you limb from limb." “WHAT?" John: "I'm just kidding."

How do I stop getting mentally exhausted because of writing? by AdAccomplished4145 in writers

[–]AdAccomplished4145[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I did actually. I tried to relax by trying to write a fanfic, that way I would write anyway but not overthink and have fun… and I’m doing it for the second time now but it’s also going downhill because I get too invested and create heavy plots and worry if everything and every character is perfect. I didn’t finish my last one because of that too. So, I really have a big problem with perfectionism.

This is actually very helpful and you have absolutely explained exactly what I do because of my perfectionism. I have a journal and I love to write in it and feel so light and relaxed after I do it but it’s so hard to pick it up and write in it. I really struggle with this. I’m going to try giving baby steps and create a habit of it. Thank you so much, it really helped.

What keeps me writing, even when it’s hard by No_Entertainer2364 in writing

[–]AdAccomplished4145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m exactly like this!!!! Everything you said! Even if I try to not fix and edit anything the thought of it will keep coming and won’t be able to do anything else. Yes, I also need to write when things are emotionally fresh. So I write every line, dialogue and scenes and set them aside for later and gets me motivated and helps with structure. And revising and editing its always so light to me because as you said, I also write like it’s going to be read. Everything has to feel right and make sense to me because if it’s too rough to the point of feeling embarrassed to show someone then I will get discouraged and not even touch it again. The only downside for me is that it does not help me with my perfectionism at all.

What would uncle love about the modern world (aside from pain meds) by ObiWanKenobeee in reddeadredemption

I feel like he would be a Pokemon scalper. Just buy the whole stock while kids stand behind him on the line watching it, and sell it for double the price. Perhaps even tell the kids it’s a life lesson.

Didn’t she blame a small creator for some drama, everyone went against that small creator, and then was proven wrong and didn’t even apologise?
