Yall when I found out rich people have special therapists to help them cope with the guilt of hoarding money I literally considered throwing away all the morals I never had to become a psych major for like an entire day like I would have emotionally damaged them so badly

It's so important to acknowledge the very real and sometimes truly horrible failings of the healthcare profession and the pharmaceutical industry while never ever ever letting them drive us into the arms of pseudoscientific bullshit. This is something I feel really strongly about.

A piece of writing advice that i will always kick and scream about because it's annoying but it works is: if you ever feel like you're stuck with your writing, go back to the absolute basics. Like, middle school English creative writing exercises for people who have never done a creative writing in their life. do a character creation exercise. list things you're experiencing with your senses. analyse a bit of someone else's writing that you like. write ten first lines off the top of your head. hell, even if you're not feeling stuck with your writing, going back to the fundamentals is very good for you! it really does remind you about the nuts and bolts of the craft. gets the brain unstuck. you can be a bitch about it and groan and wail if you like while you do it, but unfortunately it is very good advice

Another writing tip that makes me unspeakably angry because it's infuriating but it works is that sometimes wordcount limits are Good, Actually. Sure they make you want to commit atrocities but they teach you how to improve readability by trimming excess words & improving clarity, which in turn makes you think hard about the construction of your sentences/phrases. this is an absolutely invaluable skill and i will continue to be mad about it forever probably

be proud of ‘small’ achievements that are big for you as a disabled person. share them with trusted people, share them online, write them in your journal or your notes app. forge a space for yourself. don’t shrug your successes off just bc they don’t look like much to abled people.
