When you are writing your first draft:

  • “that part isn’t good enough” is the voice of your enemy.
  • “I should go back and edit that” is the voice of your enemy.
  • “this part is too cliche” is the voice of your enemy.
  • “this part is unclear” is the voice of your enemy.
  • “this dialogue sounds bad” is the voice of your enemy.
  • “there isn’t enough detail” is the voice of your enemy.
  • “I’m bogged down in the details” is the voice of your enemy.
  • “I don’t know what happens next” is the voice of your enemy.
  • “no one will want to read this” is the voice of your enemy.

These are second draft problems.

Write it down! Finish the draft!

“Is it any good” is future-you’s problem!

queerlyglittering:

Fuck cottagecore, I want 80s fantasy film core. The sky is a strange hazy amber color, the foliage is purple, and everything is covered in an obscene amount of glitter. There are muppets and/or Hensonian creatures everywhere. Tim Curry is probably there. Everyone is dressed like they’re going to a renaissance festival. There are wild chickens running around underfoot. I am the town bookseller, which basically means my shop is filled to the brim with dusty, leatherbound books that I will either sell or potentially give away to you, if you express sufficient interest in them. You read these books and then have magical coming-of-age adventures and save the world. You try to bring the books back later but I tell you to keep them. There are unicorns and fairies and goblins and giants and other feral magical creatures without names who want to eat you. Be safe out there.
