OP turned off reblogs so this is my post now. Behold, the "Objective quality vs. degree of ferality" scale

Here are a few of my own personal datapoints:

That’s so fucking real, literally I’m stuck in the middle RIGHT NOW

I know the beginning of the story, I know the end of it.

BUT THE MIDDLE

OMG WHY DOES THE MIDDLE HAVE TO BE SO SO HARD TO WRITE!?!!??!?!!?!?!?

Yes, writing is my full time job.

If there’s one tip I can give to writers of all calibers, new or veterans (since a lack of this is even the case with published authors), it must be:

Watch out for your subtext as much as you can.

No matter how genius the worldbuilding, no matter how 3-dimensional the characters, your text will carry a subconscious message, and you have to be careful with it. The way you phrase things, the way you describe certain groups of people does matter a lot.

If you like it or not, your book will send big messages, even if you believe it doesn’t. Make sure you know exactly what those messages are. Be intentional about your subtext. It’s worth a lot.

BTW when you encounter a character and think "What's this guy's fucking problem?" that's your body trying to give you an out before you fall into obsession.
