Don’t get me wrong, I love honeybush but the honeybush that I’ve had has always been a very light flavour compared to rooibos. Like, with rooibos I feel like I’m having tea as opposed to honeybush essenced hot water

Violet Evergarden could have been subbed for Grave of the Fireflies.

The correct POV for a story, in my opinion, is the one that best serves the story.

So it sounds like you’re making a solid choice for yours!

I’ve noticed I have a preference for third person limited, and I think the reason for this is that it allows me to tell a story without feeling like I’m pretending to “know” my characters well enough to write from their perspective. Rather, I write their stories from the perspective of the character I know the best, and do so with as much empathy as possible, without “being” that character.

Which kind of makes sense since I have a tendency to write about real people but perhaps I should try an exercise where I write in first person just to see if it really does feel too much like my own voice.

Sorry, that’s was a bit of an aside. I wish you the best in your story!

Yeah, I’m using an app where I can’t seem to access the messaging (though I logged in on desktop just to see where it was/what it looks like so I did get your message). Haha. Do you use discord at all? (Also for the record I continue my streak of contributing nothing to our score. Lolol).

I’m using the Memmy app and can’t seem to figure out how to pm (lol) but I achieved no writing today! Haha.

I’m hoping for a better show tomorrow.

I’m available if someone would like a partner although it’s unlikely that I’ll be a high performing partner (2-3 times a week would be my estimate).

Just heckin do it.

I wasted my high school years feeling like I wasn’t passionate enough about writing to actually do it, and that I would never make it as a writer so there was no point in writing, and that my voice was just one among millions of cooler, more creative, and more talented people.

And although all that may be 100% true that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t write.

Just because there millions of other voices out there, doesn’t mean no one should ever hear yours. There might be just one single person that needs to hear exactly what you need to say and if you manage to touch that one person then it was worth it.

So yeah, just write. Write indulgently. Write the trashiest of trash.

Even if you’re only making a bag of microwave popcorn, if you offer it up to someone who really wanted some microwave popcorn, you will become a hero! Lol.

I guess I’m going to have to actually do some writing. Haha.

The timing on this is funny though because I had just put a new chapter out on Sunday, which was my first time updating my long fic in close to eight months so there were probably a couple of readers who got the notification, thought “oh, I’ll check that out later” then didn’t get the chance to.

I’m a little worried about the articles that are suggesting it may be weeks before AO3 is back up though.

I don’t know how hard it is to get the servers back up (or if the attack is still going on) but I’ll probably make a donation once they do have it up just for all their hard work.
