I get what you're saying, but at the same time read it as 'just do it'. But I can't just write for the sake of writing. The results make me not want to write another word.

But what is the opposite of your caring? When will your advocacy be mandated?

Old school scribes unite! I get what you're saying, there's a light to a story and it must be followed. I just wish I had the same dedication as you. Maybe that's where I fall flat, I try too much and smother myself in the process.

Hey all, For a long time I've been very anxious over what to write. I can imagine plots and worlds to dress them in but one concept has always leeched my faith in a work. Honest Inspiration. By that I mean interjecting personal struggles via a medium, in our case Fantasy. To me, and this...

Fantasy is difficult because so many people aspire to success in the genre, and like you've said ideas tend to repeat. Maybe it's okay to delete what you've wrote. It's not the worst thing to know revision. Are you writing fantasy because the tropes and understanding allow you to tell a...

Undead characters for me are extensions of the controlling narrative. They are mindless, yet dedicated to the view of whom possess them. I see them like a comedic relief and character multiplier at the same time.

Philip k Dick turned scifi on its head with short stories dealing with singular concepts. It all depends on what you're trying to say. Three book epic with no production credentials, good luck.

Easy gender roles escribed here. Where does your romance in idea? A mans life is worth nothing, when do you see?

Disregard everything said here. Ask yourself the last time a writer you admired sought validation. Too bad to be on you're on, good luck.

Swag life bro. Though honestly the why of something ends with truth.

I have severe anxiety. I deal with this by getting drunk. It's easy to say whatever you want when you don't care about what you say. I can say with complete earnestly that I feel what I write is trash. The backspace command is truly a best friend. And though I feel this way, I cannot help...

I have been struck by alchoholism and through this addiction I have been unable to write. It's true that this disease ensnares anyone close to it, and for this I'm left without the ability to relate to those around me. I've posted messages that don't make sense, and have contributed to an...

DragonOfTheAerie, if I'm not going to question my processes because others do things differently, what's the point in talking to them about their processes. If I can't win why should I lose. In the end it's all just mysticism.
