you may argue “but how do I know if my work is good without feedback?”
and to that I say, the fact that you are simply creating, connecting ideas and bringing them to life on paper is a process so passionate and beautiful, how could it not be good?
even with spelling errors, even with unfinished ideas, even with a strange writing style - it is still art, and it is beautiful.
No matter what they say, there are no rules to art that define good and bad. You are good, for you are an artist <3
my beloved writers,
you need to seriously challenge your mindset of writing for likes and such. You already know you should write for yourself, so do it.
It does not matter. They are numbers.
If your productivity and motivation are tied to how much positive feedback you get, you are killing the artist inside of you. To be an artist means to not be chained down by anything - not opinions, not feedback, not an audience.
It is no complex, hard task to stop caring. Just stop. Stop caring for it. I promise, it will be the most freeing thing you can do for your mind.
Sincerely,
a long recovered Wattpad-Reads-Obsessor.
I love that Naked Snake's thing was War like Ken's thing is Beach.
Writing is so much fun! You can be like "I should process this" and just go nuh-huh, see, I'm going to make up a guy and have them process it for me. Not me! It's the guy I made!

at this point let Cadence have their village vacation. Let them be free.
I’m relieved to know I’m not the only writer experiencing this. Because somehow you would think „I’m the writer, I’m in control“ but then this kinda stuff happens and suddenly you’re questioning how that is even possible
chasing that character that never follows the outline and ends up doing random shit that adds nothing to the plot for 5 extra chapters you hadn’t even planned
