needed to hear this, been in such a creative slump lately and it’s so frustrating and disheartening

this is gorgeous!!!!

totally agree!! good point

The Keeper of the Bees by Gene Stratton-Porter. it was published like 100 years ago. something about it just has my heart in a chokehold

this. the whole thread. spot on. I feel similarly about “chosen one” narratives. most problems are met with “but guys, listen, the protagonist is /special/“ and it often takes the wind out of the narrative’s sails, idk

I read the Princess of Dorsa series a while ago and I must say Joslyn has my whole entire heart
