The writing process goes like this:

- Got this great idea for a novel

- Start writing it. It’s great!

- Well, maybe it’s not so great. It’s ok

- Actually, girl, I don’t know what you’re doing

- Girl

- Girl

Went to the Tim Burton exhibition with @karinwrites.bsky.social and saw this “rejection letter” from Disney for Burton’s book back in 1976 due to its marketability, which is quite reassuring for me to see as an aspiring author 🥰

A reminder to everyone who didn't get a bunch of attention on their pitch yesterday: The algorithm sucks, it isn't your fault. You're a wonderful writer and your time will come 💙✨

writers and artists will go "this isn't good enough." my brother in christ, you're creating something new out of nothing and expressing yourself creatively. your productivity and unrealistic standards of perfection do not define you or the worth of your art. you're doing great.
