being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

Or think of how people in North America see Australia as a strange place because of the spiders that eat birds and venomous everything. Just adding different wildlife makes a place feel… well, different.

In my city, Toronto, deer live in the ravines between high rise buildings!

For your fictional world, you can have some fun and add a layer of realism by sprinkling in strange creatures who also live in towns, cities, and even space stations. For example, (continued)

We share our urban environments with many more creatures than just people and pets.

The mice and insects that make their homes in our quarters are obvious.

But there’s waaay more wildlife in your city than you might be aware of. (Continued)

… add little details that show places have a long history, like a warehouse with old gods on the walls or a shelter covered in an ancient language or a building with a set of stones that came from something much older.

If you’re stuck on your book, it helps to talk it out with a writer friend.

You can’t make everyone happy, so focus on creating the art you want to make and on the people who understand and love what you do.

Accept the pain of rejection, grieve if you must, and then get back to work.

Rejection is part of being a creative.

It stings. It might make you want to give up. But remember that some people will hate your work no matter what you do.

And some people will also love it.

Writers: getting stuck is part of the creative process.

It’s a sign to slow down, think, maybe even rest.

Forgive yourself for being stuck or writing little. Show yourself and your creativity compassion even when things are not going as well as you’d like.

#Writers go through phases.

Sometimes, you’ll be pounding out thousands of words each day.

Sometimes, you’ll need to slow down and refill your creative well.

Sometimes, you’ll be in your planning phase or your silly comedy phase, or your tragedy phase.

Embrace the phase you’re currently in.

Rest.

#Creativity requires breaks, rest, time to do nothing but be.

That’s sometimes impossible in our world that demands so much (particularly from creatives who have to make their art AND come up with viral videos AND run a newsletter AND often have a day job).
