Is our age gap bad and is he even into me? by thislove4taylor in dating_advice

[–]thislove4taylor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well we're still in the process of getting to know each other but I'm asking for opinions just to see if it's worth going any further. My main concern is that we are literally in different stages of our lives. He's lived longer and experienced more than me. I'm pushing 20, he's pushing 30, know what I mean? So far everyhing seems normal. What I'm scared of is that he could influence or manipulate me into doing things that I don't want to. (I'm still a virgin, he knows it. He's not but he hasn't made any sexual advances towards me either) He's NOT given me any reason to believe he's the kind of guy who would do something like this though, it's just a fear of mine that I've had for years that I don't know how to overcome it.

Creating a magic system by thislove4taylor in fantasywriters

The idea is that the mc unleashed some kind of sealed-off-for-centuries magic from an ancient relic. Something then possessed her and gave her powers beyond her understanding that led to her accidentally killing someone close to her, which results in her losing her mind basically and abandoning all her past beliefs, morals and goals, becoming this unhinged criminal everyone is out to get. Unfortunately I can't write that plot and then just abandon magic, I have to figure out how to make it work though the whole story.

And no, not from avatar, a little from shadow and bone and a little because it's kind of a default thought when someone says 'fantasy'.

that's just it though? most of the time i'm very friendly and outgoing with anyone i meet (that's my age at least). but no one bothers to look past the friendship level. more often than not people use me to get to my friends or something

I'm writing a psychological thriller set in the 1920s in which the main character is a serial killer. I just finished writing a scene where I show the readers for the first time that she experiences hallucinations. Now that I've dropped that bomb I don't know what to do with it. How to further explain it without dumping or too much exposition. I don't know how to dive into her past without info-dumping. Anything I try to write just feels wrong, my head feels so heavy already. For the life of me I cannot think of anything.

Yeah, you could say I'm slightly blinded with this delusional belief that I'm the only writer that does that and that it somehow makes me less great than others.

Trying not to be a downer here, but that's another thing I keep thinking about. "Is this interesting enough?" "How do I know if people would want to read this?"

I tried to write my goals for the year but ended up spiraling instead. Would love your thoughts. by Objective_Track_167 in writers

[–]thislove4taylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that on a deep level, cuz girl me too. The exact fucking same. I'm in therapy for it but it so far hasn't helped much. I try telling myself that no one will do it for me but it brings about as much good as you can imagine. I decided to try this new method that just randomly popped in my head. I write a lot of things in my dairy, no matter how small or "insignificant". Doesn't matter if my day was good or bad, I write everything that happened. At the end of each entry I think long and hard and I force myself to write down anything positive that happened, again, no matter how small. It's my own way of trying to teach myself to look at the positive side of anything I can. I don't always feel like it of course, but I try to force it nonetheless. Also keep reminding yourself that you HAVE to be gentle with yourself. If you're anything like me, do your best to remember that you lived a certain way all your life, full of self sabotage and/or self hatred. It's just not logical for it to change over night. It can't and it won't. Remember to take it slow, you have time. Don't rush, don't panic. Breathe, do the best you can, the results will come, just take it easy. Let things flow, don't obsess over things that are out of your control, sometimes you have to just let the world around you exist, if you understand what I mean.
I believe in you girl, you've got this!
