@divya_venn Love that for you. Been writing my own novels for the last two years. Being able to open document and invent a world is the most incredible feeling ever
Stories are a balance between the audience and you
Take what fascinates you
And mold it in the most undestandable way possible for another human being
That is the great diffculty of creating a phenomal story
Sometimes you just gotta enjoy a show for what it is, it may not be the best written anime of all time but if you find stuff you like and enjoy about it then who cares
There’s only one way to select for integrity in the people around you:
don’t assume anyone who makes you feel bad is a bad person, and anyone who makes you feel good is a good person
The greatest stories have parallels between characters
Between their ideals and even physical natures
Their backstories
And even how they develop, fall and rise
Even characters all reaching for the same goal can parallel their struggles for it.
Use the beauty of contrast
The Climber
A story of willing to die for a selfish goal
Its depiction of anxiety as fighting against yourself and splitting in two
I love the creepiness of it
And wish to incorporate more visuals of how we perceive the world in my works
Mix the fantastical with the real
I didn’t understand the beauty of storytelling until I spent the past year and a half learning to write
Nothing but my own imagination to construct every inch of a world
I see now why my early fiilms felt dull
I was to used to not using my own inner creativity
New writing lesson learned.
Before the payoff to a big promise setup
Another big promise to keep a sense of momentum in the story.
The world doesn’t stop until it’s in the final arc
Lack of success usually comes from not wanting to become isolated from the crowd. When you become successful family, friends, etc treat & see you differently. You can no longer relate to majority of people & this creates loneliness. Entrepreneurs will self sabotage just to fit in
@divya_venn Agree with this since I was the same in HS. Constant reminders this year that I have the capacity to really get whatever I want if I ask for it. Been throwing myself into situations off the idea I’ll just figure it out
And a lot of it has worked out.
@MasterTimBlais I don’t think talking about how guys treat you poorly is high status, I think it’s quite low status actually. Biggest flex is never having had that problem.
