Congratulations to people who don’t get obsessed easily. I can’t relate but I’m sure it’s lovely. Unfortunately, I only know how to let things consume my entire soul.
Shame has never and will never motivate change. The way to motivate change in people is to inspire them— to give them a glimmer of hope and affirmation that their life has meaning.
It’s tone deaf of @ronnychieng to make jokes about Indians not being Asian.
He’s a is Malaysian Chinese that grew up in Singapore. These countries actively discriminate Indians and dark-skinned minorities.
Fuck off, @ronnychieng. This shit is racist and not funny. The myth that East Asians are the only "real" Asians causes material harm to South Asians, and here you are perpetuating it.
Punch up, not down.
Person: What's it like being a writer?
Writer: Imagine you have a million ideas, worlds, characters, magic systems, all living inside your head
Person: That sounds great!
Writer: But when you try to actually write, it all disappears, and you're just sobbing over your keyboard
Where writers get inspiration:
-At midnight, as you're literally just about to fall asleep
-When you're in the shower and you need to get out, but instead you stay in there for an hour pondering
-While you're driving and almost zone out on the freeway
-When it's least convenient
Writer: *Writes for hours*
Writer: I just wrote SO MANY WORDS! 100,000? 200,000? A MILLION!!!??? No, I should be realistic. I bet it's 10,000
Word count: 250
Writer: *Screams internally*
