Hey OP, do me a favor. Get a nitrogen-testing kit for your garden because I think it may be growing on a diet of piss and ashes.

I hate I when I get an idea for a novel. Like oh no here starts the slow sad slip n’ slide to dissapointment again.
You ever been 30,000 words and hundreds of research hours into a project when you realize hey wait a minute. I don’t like this. This is bad.
Ok adding to this though that even though it is extremely relatable, this is a KNOWN thing with professional writing. 10k is often referred to as "having a pot boiling" or "having a stew" - it's the point where you often see an idea coming together and it's exciting! But THEN... 30k-50k is the point where that fun has to start coming together. In theatre, it's usually week 3 of a 5 week rehearsal period where you have to stop talking about the play and really get it all up on its feet and cohesive. In art, it's committing to what are going to be the final visible layers of colour and texture, in sculpture the moment where you're truly at the point of no return with carving out the shape.
It usually feels really bad. Because this is the point it becomes real craft. It's so, so difficult to really be able to identify if it's truly not going to be anything or you're just in the hardest part of the process, and really the only way to know is to... write through it. Write it badly. Or, if you really can't, put it in a drawer and come back to it after a few months of breathing space. Remember, you can fix so much in the edit, but you can't fix nothing!
(I say, fully looking at my latest draft of my book and considering throwing it in the bin. But my editor said exactly this to me, so I'm passing it along.)
this is 100% true. I've written 6 complete novels at this point and every single time around the 40k mark I feel lost in the woods. Nothing seems to be working. I feel awful; I can't sleep. I keep going even though I'm convinced I'm going to fail. And then... It's like leaving a tunnel and getting back out in the sunshine. Stuff starts coalescing. Things that weren't working have obvious fixes. I "can write" again, except I was writing the whole time. It just felt hopeless in the moment. It's not. You just gotta get out of the woods.
Ah yes the Slough of Desponds. Professional author with 13 books, and this is normal for me as well. (Checking for tension issues usually helps!)
Lmao I literally wrote a whole blog post abt it once.

Crocheter here and I feel this way every time I get about 40% and 60% through a blanket. At 40% you're like "wow this looks like shit" because it hasn't quite taken form (this is even worse if you're using a multirow stitch pattern), and at 60% you're like "it's fine but this is taking FOREVER I suck this is so bad" while forgetting that blankets take 100-200 hours because they're big.
This is A Thing.

Hi! Been a huge fan of the blog for years! I don't know if it's been asked before but I was wondering if you have any tips on how to format short story manuscripts for submissions if there are any? What to keep in mind. What to be succint about etch... Thank you so much! 🙏
So here's the secret on short story submissions - most magazine or organization you're submitting to should have very specific formatting, and it should be very similar.
However, if they do not, Shunn.net has a checklist here, and a downloadable format guide here. (This is where I got my templates, so I highly recommend it.)
my body, tearfully: when sleep???
me: my dude we just woke up!! It’s time for wakefulness and doing things and Productivity
my body, weeping: but???? when sleep?????
me: okay, finally now is sleep
my body: no. wrong.
That opportunity may come in your 40's, 50's, and beyond, too.
trauma's fucking crazy. it's like. you spend howevermany years building and sharpening a set of tools to help you navigate the treacherous fuckupery of life and then you start life for real and it's like. normal. like it's just normal style. and you're like goddamn why don't these tools work anymore. they were so useful for so long. what'd i spend all this time building them for. what do you mean i need different tools now. what the fuck

I try not to fall into the "I never liked their work anyway" ditch when an artist/creator reveals themself to be a terrible person
BUT
a feeling I do have and will stand by is "While I enjoyed their work overall I did have some gripes that I overlooked out of affection and whimsy, but now that my loyalty is gone and my affection tainted there is nothing holding me back from enumerating my many grievances, to which the revelations of the creator's shittiness may or may not provide a new and infuriating context."
#such a good summation of this actually#because yeah there’s usually things that were always present#but which were easy to overlook or give the benefit of the doubt#that suddenly become relevant after a revelation about the creator#and it’s really not the same thing as the self-defensive “’I never liked it anyway’

[Cyber Effect] astonishing modern raden (mother of pearl inlay) by Terumasa Ikeda. A nice pun on the classic Ghost in the shell ;)
Raden is a very old decorative craft (see video below), usually used on lacquer bases with floral or traditional motifs. It’s so great to see it used this way!
This is such a fantastic example what anticipation, overshooting, and settling actually *does* in animation, especially when you're new to learning it, be that 2d or 3d.

no dude it's so cool how attached you are to that character who is singled out and ostracized due to the external monstrousness that clashes with their internal spark of humanity. and i love how drawn you are to themes of horror and love, nature versus nurture, otherness, isolation, and the abject. i bet you have normal feelings about your own personhood
