god this made my heart ache
saw the quote in a tiktok and I’ve been wracking the internet to find the author of it. the account/tweet has since been deleted but I think this was the original poster. i can’t believe we get some of the most heart wrenching sentences on sites like this
thread of art/writing that comes close to this feeling:
from @/z.tyl on tiktok
"all is well" by henry scott holland
here is the scene because a transcription doesn’t do it justice
and lastly, one contribution from me I hope when it is finally our time, that we go like summer n

things that broke my brain: understanding that at the end of the day, publishing is a workplace, and other writers are colleagues, and that just because someone is mutuals doesn't mean they like you, and just because twitter agrees doesn't mean publishing does, and
how our posts reach circles a lot wider than we thought, and how gatekeepers of this industry are always watching you even when you don't know they are, and not just watching you but judging you (good/bad),
and how no one will tell you these things and you just have to figure it out over the months and years.

this is the thing: yes, logically, it makes sense. ofc, being an author is a career path. the industry is a business. this is professional.

did you guys know how ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE by gabriel garcía márquez came about? my math prof just told me this story after I spent our lunch lamenting about publishing and writing, so I shall pass it on (1/8)
okay so it was the 60's, and mans was *struggling*. he writing columns, doing small things here and there to keep afloat. he was stressed and gloomy all the time, and he was smoking 60(!) cigaretts a day. (2/8)
a little before all of this, he'd just gotten signed by an agent who loved his work, but had sold 4 of his books for...$1000. he told her the contract was "a piece of shit", but signed it anyways (ah publishing.) (3/8)

12 websites that've helped* me immensely as a writer🧵

*like i can't function without some of them
1. Character/Visual Inspiration: ARTBREEDER artbreeder.com/create

An AI that allows you to input multiple photos and it combines them into one. So helpful if you want to create a mashup of different character art or locations.
2. For character inspiration:
THIS PERSON DOES NOT EXIST
thispersondoesnotexist.com

AI generated of photos of "people" every time you click enter, but none of them exist. It's a bit basic but if you like the game of random, it's pretty sweet.

10 things to do when you* feel stuck in your writing 🧵

*based solely on what's worked for me
1. starting from the end of the chapter, write "but" and continue off it. sometimes we're stuck because we hole ourselves into a boring part of the book where it's just "this happens and then this happens"; the excitement comes in when there's a "but suddenly!"
2. tell yourself the story. like stand in front of a mirror and start talking to yourself and speak out the story from the beginning. walk or pace, but speak it out loud.
