for the love of god, write all the self-indulgent scenes you want. be utterly shameless about including every last fantasy. i know everyone likes to share quotes and quips about how miserably hard writing is, but please please try thinking of it as a joyful act where you get to be a messy human who makes art rather than some pain filled quest for icy perfection.
“authenticity looks an awful lot like self-indulgence but it is the only way to find your true audience”
#I like this sentiment very much#I wish it were true but I still feel very lonely and very invisible a lot of the time#screaming into the void#but yes please do create from the heart create with joy and love#you can’t control other people and how they will feel and whether they will let you know if they have even seen it#create for an audience of one and please yourself and you will at least have that
