I saw a post talking about how Terry Pratchett only wrote 400 words a day, how that goal helped him write literally dozens of books before he died. So I reduced my own daily word goal. I went down from 1,000 to 200. With that 800-word wall taken down, Iāve been writing more.Ā āI wonāt get on tumblr/watch TV/draw/read until I hit my word goalā used to be something I said as self-restraint. And when I inevitably couldnāt cough up four pages in one sitting, I felt like garbage, and the pleasurable hobbies I had planned on felt like I was cheating myself when I just gave up. Now itās something I say because I just have to finish this scene, just have to round out this conversation, canāt stop now, because Iām enjoyingĀ myself, Iām having an amazing time writing. Something that hasnāt been true of my original works since middle school.Ā
And sometimes I think,Ā āWell, two hundred is technically less than four hundred.ā And I have to stop myself, because - I am writing half as much as Terry Pratchett. Terry fuckingĀ Pratchett, who not only published regularly up until his death, but published books that were consistently good.Ā
And this has also been an immense help as a writer with ADHD, because I donāt feel bad when I take a break from writing - two hundred words works up quick, after all. If I take a break at 150, I have a whole day to write 50 more words, and Iāve rarely written less than 200 words and not felt the need to keep writing because I need to tie up a loose end anyways.Ā
Yes, sometimes, I do not produce a single thing worth keeping in those two hundred words. But itās much easier to edit two hundred words of bad writing than it is to edit no writing at all.
This is the second time this post passes on my dash and itās the best advice I ever got. I canāt write consistently in one go, itās always about 50 words and then I get distracted and just have to do something else for a while. Do the math quickly: trying to write 2000 words a day takes a looooong time that way. So there were many days where I just didnāt even start writing, cause I wouldnāt reach my goal anyways and feel like a failure. Then I stumbled upon this post and I thought: hey, letās give this a try. And it works! I set my goal between 200-400 words a day and thatās perfectly doable. Some days I get into the flow and I write a whole lot more. On other days, I struggle to get those 200 out but hey, at least I wrote 200 words and reached my goal. Whatever the outcome, t makes me feel good and accomplished.Ā
Writing takes practice, so even if itās only 100 words a day, itās better than nothing. If it worked for Terry Pratchett and me, than it can work for you too!

Happy birthday to my beautiful man !
So of course I had to do something for the occasion, and since Iām suffering from it being yet another year in which he has to spend his birthday without his family, I decided that it was only reasonable to make you all suffer with me too. So very angsty piece šāāļø
A bit late but done for Day 6 of Xaden week : birthday. Credits to @empyreanevents for these awesome prompts.
itās been some time since I posted , and even more so for this fandom. These last weeks have been so draining and I have rarely had the time to sit down and draw. But Iāll try from here on out to post at least once every two weeks.

For those saying SJM has never said Quinlar are mates, youāre wrong š„°
What the āhaha millennials canāt even make phone callsā crowd fails to appreciate is that making phone calls is a far more user-hostile and physically uncomfortable experience than it was 15-20 years ago.
It used to be you picked up a landline, which had physical buttons and at its smallest was still 3x larger than a smartphone, dialed the actual location you wanted to call (instead of a corporate call center) and you could actually talk to someone with access to the store computer/government records/dinner reservations that actually fucking applied to you.
You could also actually hold the phone with your shoulder without it hurting, which freed your hands up to cook or eat, or type on a computer, etc. it didnāt require an accessory you had to keep charged. It was built into the phoneās physical design!!!
It sucks more to do phone calls now! Like it just does!!!
The most mundanely dehumanizing experience Iāve had in the last few years was when I called a dominoās to troubleshoot a pizza order and they directed me to a call center in a different state.
āWe had to automate it because nobody would do the job!ā
PAY YOUR FUCKING WORKERS
Even the hold announcements are worse. āHAVE YOU TRIED USING OUR APP/WEBSITE?ā Yes you stupid motherfuckers, thereās no mcfucking options there, give me a live person who actually works for you and isnāt in a call center somewhere in hell being paid pennies a day!!!!
The thing about the hold announcements is they're inherently hostile to the concept of a hold.
The reason that there's hold music is 1.) to give you an indication that the line is still connected (silence is ambiguous, especially on modern systems) and 2.) to provide a contrast so that you know when someone actually is talking.
Throw in the announcements and now every 2 minutes i'm picking my phone back up because i hear a voice only to find that it's a god damn recording.
also part of the problem is that a huge percentage of people use their phone as their primary computing device, and many may not necessarily have a laptop at all. that means not only can you not hold it on your shoulder to type on your computer, your computer is also your phone, which you can't use while you're talking! I mean, okay, you can, if you put it on speaker or headphones, but that's kind of annoying since you have to deal with peripherals and/or disturbs the people around you, AND there's a possibility the stupid robot on the phone will ask you to type some shit on your keypad and you can't be on some website at the same time as the phone if you have to do that. it's a sensory nightmare
the ones that ask you to speak verbally to the bot are also a nightmare, as they don't seem to understand you half the time. And many will only give you a certain number of "sorry, could you repeat that" before saying, "we're sorry, we didn't hear what you said. Please use our website, or call back later" and hanging up, sending you back to the very start.
cool hack actually: most of those you can press 1, 2, 3 in the order that the options come up
Most phone calls these days are designed to make you hang up. Thatās not just that it does suck, but that corporate wants it to suck. They use phonecall hell as a means of input managementāmeaning, one of the main ways basically every service whittles down call volume is by pissing off and/or driving away all but the most stubborn/desperate. Whether thatās labrynthine phone trees, transfer hot potato, hostile hold audio (the SSA used to use what I can only refer to as Dead Cat Nails on Chalkboard Core), or anything elseāthey want you to give up.
Funny enough, I think thatās one of those unspoken reason so many people call 9-1-1 for non-emergencies and non-police matters. If you call 9-1-1, you get a real person very close to right away. Wouldnāt you rather do that than use municipal gov websites that donāt work, endure the torture that is most placeās neglected and decrepit 3-1-1, or never get an answer to your question/issue? The amount of āitās not an emergency but I canāt get anyone else on the phoneā is at least 45% of all 9-1-1 calls.
I think the key to Violet mastering her power is for her to stop referring to it as "Tairn's power." Once she sees it as an extension of herself, she'll be unstoppable, able to wield small amounts in close quarters or throw massive bolts with precise aim.
i just realized that xaden and violet's kids wouldn't grow up being scared of the dark that's literally their papa
they wouldnāt be scared of storms either

A little snippet of something that popped into my head upon me embarking on my latest reread of Fourth Wing
Listen I love Kingdom of Ash but what the fuck was the point of the shit with the lock? Aelin choosing to leave Arowan anyway to spare the dumb idiot who made her sacrifice necessary? And then, surprise to no one, the gods actually don't do anything and just flounce away? I think Maeve and Cairn tortured Aelin's brain out of her fucking head because that was a dumbass decision on her part. And then no more power, and she still has to face two Valg? Yeah ok.
