first genuine life update in 19 daysIām going to do a recap of the past few days. I have a new school now, and itās been good. We moved to be closer to my parents church, and Iām still dealing with the fact that theyāre devout christians and I hate god, but thatās too personal to jump into more than Iāve mentioned. Thereās basically no dress code at the school, so I donāt have to be choked by a tie 24/7.
As for my mental heath, I think I have an invalidation problem. Itās essentially where I consider my personal priorities and wants being (almost) completely worthless, and regarding my emotions and experiences as being just as nonexistent.
I have identified the problem, as listed above, but havenāt been able to deal with it. Itās not a major problem, just holding me down partially. Life has just been too hard, and I donāt need to bring this up had things just get more difficult.In the meantime, Iām dealing with a writers block. I can write things, but nothing on the larger projects I need to complete to create my larger vision. All in all, Iām fine, mostly. Iāve been watching the first few seasons of The Walking Dead and Iām about to finish Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. Theyāre both great.
dog

cool dog
nice update
well sorta
hope you get over the writer’s block
easy way to get out of a rut is to get into a hobby you truly look forward to doing
thanks, Iāll try
also yeah that dog is nice
I hear you, I struggled with writers block a few times but I think when it comes to writing part of it, it comes from you being able to just be real with yourself and your writing. Keeping to feasible enough elements and not playing on too many contrived writing details, thereās mimicking good writing and then thereās actually good writing.
Itās hard to grasp and depending on your story this will vary but under most circumstances of story I feel things should happen because they just do, much like our own world, it isnāt based around what works for the character or whatever but instead what makes sense but with more focus on emphasising events and taking a positive light to things when it comes to what favours the characters etc. what they stumble upon.
Itās almost like indirect plot Armor kind of thing rather than too deliberate, Iām struggling to explain but either way good luck with things.
I get what youāre saying, and I really appreciate it. Iām going to work on a much smaller thing for now to flesh out some ideas and keep my mojo going. And also, youāre one of the people Iāve really been wanting to show my story to, I just need to find the means.
If youāre interested, my laptop is broken so I canāt do it via Discord, but I have a private group called āLate Shiftā where I can overshare about my story.
Sure, I just remembered, that post about reviewing the story and whatnot on your characters that Google form, I filled out a while back.
I already let you know over on Discord, that could be used as some feedback, itās a little outdated though.
Oh, I saw the form response. I got exactly what you were trying to tell me, ābalance character depth with the amount you will show of them and can show of themā essentially. I appreciated it, Iād just love your feedback on the larger story. Still, I didnāt see the Discord thing you said, itās been broken for awhile.
I see, no worries
If you still want me to have a look at anything else, either contact me there, mention me or invite me to that group.
late to this, but i really relate to you on this one, and its great to hear you open up more
i remember when we first met, you told me “i am the anonymous” or something like that, and now, 2-3 years later, youre starting to open up
i think thats really cool
on a maybe less creepy note, im also on writers block, basically just a block on everything
so mayb we should block together 😣👉👈
