#im kidding #but i am one person with three different jobs #so i edit once and then move on or else id do what im doing with my current two books #which is overedit #i am your local barista #and i am TIRED

[magicaldreamfox1]

u know. if u gain more confidence in ur writing then it'll be more fun and less miserable

#i just feel like this has to be said #it's not easy to do ofc it's not and i had help #but it's never wrong to try and work on urself #bc being miserable is just not worth it #stop overediting stop trying to be perfect just post ur writing and then write a lot more #it's not easy but it's simple #if that doesn't work for u then find smthg that does #bc genuinely u guys Need some confidence #bc that's ur hobby and u shouldn't be miserable while doing ur hobby #gain confidence set boundaries put it down when it needs to be put down go to sleep when u need to sleep #it takes a lot of time and a lot of trying but so much can change for u if u just try #and i am trying to take that advice myself in a lot of other areas im not perfect #but my writing improved so much since i gained more confidence and now i just have so much fun writing #where i had to sit myself down and make myself write previously it's just part of my routine now and i do it nearly every day bc i like it #idk if that makes sense but conclusion: y'all need more confidence in ur writing so u can stop being miserable #dni if this post doesn't apply to u and u like being miserable or smthg idk #this is also not abt mental illness so don't start #this is abt insecurity making u miserable #and ruining the joy of creation #thank u for coming to my ted talk #dreamy talks

💫　14 associations : Hanaka Houjou

tagged by @archaiclumina & @reconditerune !! ty!

--

🌸　animal: red squirrels. ( i genuinely couldn’t think of anything & asked my gf. it’s canon now ig /shrug ) for a ff based creature, she’d be a red chocobo or a tabby coeurl kit. 

🌸　color: pink! coral & rose pink are p distinct on her, but i also think pearlescent white, warm-toned colors, + gold accents are also fitting.

🌸　song: fellow feeling by porter robinson ( most things made by porter are a vibe tbh but THIS song?? oof from the lyrics alone; almost like i could hear the words being said as her own. the sound itself is v modern, but the initial calm that turns into chaos all contrasts so well against with what is being said in the song & kind of silhouettes what i imagine it must feel like for Hanaka to use her Echo / aetheric abilities?? it’s intense, maybe a bit scary to witness. she is incredibly strong when her power is wielded deftly, but it’s a painful process. also her h/c’d english VA* *subject to change is doing the speaking in the song! it’s all v good!! )

🌸　number: 2. She likes multiples of two. She usually prefers to go second in most things in her life, letting someone else take the lead so she can learn from their example. She is the kind to observe first, then act; always preferring a one-two step kind of plan.

🌸　day or night: she is the early morning, specifically the hours of 3~5 AM, when the world sleeps & the stars shine brightest. She is like dawn break over the horizon, shooing the stars to their beds with her sun-like smile. She is the comfort of knowing you’ve survived another night, the bleary sky a meld of purples & pinks into new day blues or early morning golds, dotted with flickering stars who will soon rest behind the fluffy clouds. Hanaka loves the night skies, but she herself is very much the dawn.

🌸　plant: victoria rose forget-me-nots; felt like a fitting plant, as a lot of her WoL narrative deals with remembering / seeing / sharing memories with others. pink flowers for bonus points!

🌸　smell: initially, she smells like the plum & cherry blossoms she likes to use as her daily accessories. Her true scent is of Othardian poppies, Doman black tea, ginger root, natural musk, & a touch of something sweet akin to a marshmallow. ( it’s my headcanon that Hanaka just… always smells good lol because of her ability to sprout flowers from her body to heal herself & she is also just very well-groomed when able! )

🌸　gemstone: angel aura quartz, pearl, or argyle ( pink ) diamond!

🌸　season: late winter to early spring, right after the deep winter frost thaws; still cold outside but the snow is melting, maybe an occasional snow flurry. The plum trees have blossomed & warmer seasons are on their way; bird calls return to the mornings again, signaling the end of hibernation. The crisp air smells of rebirth & sweetness.

🌸　place: Yanxia. She was born in a small farming village beyond the Glittering Basin, now lost to war & time.

🌸　food: hanami dango ( her favorite dango flavor is azim strawberry! )

🌸　eorzean deity: i associate her with Azeyma ( mostly due to aesthetics ), though her patron is Althyk! Althyk makes more sense for her narratively imo.

🌸　eorzean element(s): earth, the element of substance & endurance. Her abilities draw from this element the most!

🌸　drink: maehwa-cha ( plum blossom tea )

pacing, my arch-enemy, we finally meet again

#ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh #I'm always so worried about it because it's so hard to do it consciously and so is fixing it if it doesn't work #and I always feel like if I spend too much time or think too much on a chapter it gets all over the place because I overedit #but ahhhhhhh. I'm vexed because I loved this chapter when I wrote it and now I have no idea if it's any good #and the fact that it took me 2 weeks to convince myself to read through it probably suggests it isn't #but ahhhhhhhhh #miaing

[chaotic-history]

So when Hamilton does this it's cool but when I do it it's "procrastinating" and I "shouldn't wait until the last minute" 🤨

#the sitting there thinking abt writing but not actually writing is essential to the process #cause then when u go to write; you've already written + revised it in your head #and so you *can* wait until the last minute cause all u have to do is copy it down #the best essays i've written r the 'i wrote this in the 4 hours right before the class' essays #whereas if i actually write it over a period of multiple days i'll ruin it by overediting every single line and making useless changes

[raysofcrosby]

digital cameras suddenly being all the rage this summer all over tik tok and w the younger crowd really ages me 😭

#everything is cycling back and i love it and hate it at the same time #saw a tik tok w a bunch of comments about how to turn their camera on #wdym how do you turn it on 😭😭😭😭😭 #at least picnik isn’t around to overedit the photos tho #at least the younger generation will be saved from that

[calicotisane]

What if trilliums were like water lilies and floated in streams and lakes etc that would be pretty cool I think

#my art #sona #I took the picture of the trillium a while back and needed an excuse to overedit it #it still doesn't quite match.... I am famously weird with colors I think and never know what to do #but i am satisfied with it overall. its for my forest ecology class final project #character: ego

[madame-fall]

It is unreal how bad so many programs for writing assistance have gotten lately. All of them just give me patently and obviously wrong advice now. I started using a few to cut down on editing time later but one is literally telling me to describe walking to a house as a "walkover", which is a different noun that has a different meaning and makes no sense in this context.

#Guess I'm back to a 4-7 hour per-page editing process rather than a 2-hour one... #I definitely overedit but using programs that let me do it as I go helped cut that down a LOT. #Like I know these are “AI-powered” but they worked fine for so many years. Did they change something because ChatGPT became a thing?

My willex chiropractor au document has passed 13k words and there is more to go… how has this happened

#i finally separated the real chapters from my monster doc of notes and ideas and blurbs #so much is written and yet there is more to go #I have so many scenes and yet not the first chapter… #the official start of things is hard #and yet I have most of the bigger notable scenes even though I expected them to be harder #I have clips of the epilogue but not the last chapter #but also I need more in between scenes #and like I overthink and overedit and like should I get a beta? but how do?

[onlyjaeyun]

i have this question like, genuinely...

you always tell us you're going to start writing the chapter and post it immediately or just a few hours later..don't you edit them? and they're still THAT good?

like i genuinely don't understand bcz i have to edit something at least 5 times before i actually start liking what i wrote. and here you are just dropping the most scrumptilicious shit ever like??

is this a matter of practice? or do you just have to be born with that kind of talent? help your friend out and drop some tips, my dear... i'll even say pretty please

pretty please?

bless your sweet soul this is such a HUGE compliment and definitely made my day so thank you so much 🥺🥺💗

honestly, i think for me it's just a matter of practice because nack when i first started, especially on tumblr, i used to edit every paragraph so many times just bc i wanted it to be perfecg but the more i've been around as a writer the more i realised that there's no need for that, yk? believe me i'm the worst perfectionist ever however i have noticed that once i start overthinking and overediting my fics or writings, i lose interest and motivation bc of how hard i am on myself.

so my tip for yoj is to not be so harsh with yourself, at the end of the day artists will forever remain their own biggest critics so there's no need to make things even harder than they are. i am not telling you to not edit them at all, but keep it easy. i try my best to focus on spelling/grammar mistakes and every now and then inchange a word or phrase but that's it.

that's definitely made things easier and way more fun to me!🥺💗

20 Questions for Fic Writers Podficcers Apparently

Tagged by @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels because she thinks she's funny. Spoiler alert, she is. <3

How many works do you have on ao3?

I have 111 atm which is such an amazing number. Look at the ones!

What's your total Ao3 word count?

80,874

What fandoms do you write podfic for?

Mostly 9-1-1, but I've dabbled in Lone Star. I also have a podfic each for both One Piece and BG3. Before I got to 9-1-1, I mainly podficced for The Magnificent Seven: 2016.

Top 5 Podfics Fics by Kudos:

[Podfic] come on, come on (turn a little faster) - My One Piece podfic leads the way! It was written by @kenbunshokus. <3

[Podfic] Leading with the Left - I'm sure you're all SHOCKED to see this one on here. @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels killed us all with this masterpiece.

[Podfic] I Hate Accidents (Except When We Went From Friends to This) - @morganofthefairies gave us oblivious idiots, and I gave you all a podfic. <3

[Podfic] Love in the Time of TikTok - This one was written by @buckttommy, and the fact that it's so high is a testament to how fucking funny she can be.

[Podfic] To Build a Home We Deconstruct Our Rituals - It's @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels back to ruin our lives again.

Do you respond to comments?

I do! I fall behind sometimes, but I always catch up! 💃

What is the podfic fic you recorded wrote with the angstiest ending?

Pretty much everything I've ever podficced ends happily or with some sort of hopeful ending. I have to go with [Podfic] the nighttime fear (see it coming from the edge of the room) which was written by @extasiswings. It's a short introspective piece with no happy ending. I don't think there is another that ends unhappily for me to even consider, honestly.

What's the podfic fic you recorded wrote with the happiest ending?

LMAO! They're pretty much all end happily, as I just said.

Do you get hate on podfics fics?

No. Never.

Do you record write smut?

Oh yeah. I've recorded plenty. 😂

Craziest crossover?

I've only recorded one, and it wasn't crazy considering it was just a 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star crossover. It was [Podfic] These Are My Stompin' Grounds written by @benjaminrussell.

Have you ever had a podfic fic stolen?

Idek how this would be possible.

Have you ever had a podfic fic translated?

Why did Mads tag me in this game? NOT ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS CAN BE ANSWERED, MADS.

Have you co-recorded co-written a podfic fic before?

I've had people guest star, and I've participated in one multivoice podfic.

All time favorite ship?

Are you fucking kidding me? How am I supposed to choose? Probably Buddie, even though that feels wrong because it's not even my current hyperfixation. I've never created as much for another ship though.

What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

Oh, I'm gonna finish all my shit. Don't you worry.

What are your podficcing writing strengths?

Fuck. Idk? I think I have good pacing and emote really well. And my editing has improved tremendously over the years.

What are your podficcing writing weaknesses?

I'm hypercritical and tend to overedit at times. To the point that it sounds unnatural. I'll also just shove entire projects to the side if I don't meet my own standards, so there are quite a few things haunting me from the WIP folder atm.

Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

I've very rarely had to record in another language. Especially in the last few years. For my Mag7 podfics, there's a bit of Spanish and a small amount French, and they're kind of embarrassing for me to listen to. I've honestly considered taking them down, but I know there are people who enjoy them. So, I never do. There's a bit of Spanish in at least two of my early 9-1-1 podfics as well. I always try my best with it, but I only speak English, so I'm always super paranoid about fucking it up. I'll avoid recording entire fics just because there are other languages in them.

First fandom you podficced for wrote in?

The Magnificent Seven: 2016

Favorite podfic fic you've recorded written?

[Podfic] Carbon Date Me, Excavate Me written by @extasiswings and @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels is my fucking baby. I've listened to that fucking podfic so many times...

But my current favorite that I listen to regularly is [Podfic] nothing is safe written by @foxflowering which is my BG3 podfic. I have other BG3 projects in my WIP folder, but I'm so self-conscious about my ability to voice those characters that they're not coming out anytime soon. I was hyperfixated af on this ship for a while though and listened to this damn podfic on repeat. Also, @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels guest starred in it, so it has a special place. <3

The work task I have right now is infuriatingly mind numbing... Thus, for my lunch break, I went rogue at work, installed gimp, and photo-edited some random American Heist screenshots in order to more vividly imagine what Anakin's face is about to look like in 5PE. 😍

Also, FYI, you should thank me because I searched all of pinterest yesterday and found no photo edits of this scene. None. 🙄 Like sheesh, y'all, is the concept of whump entirely foreign to Pinterest peeps? Do I really gotta do everything myself around here? JFC. 😆

P.S. If the photo editing makes these look overedited, then I am blameless and innocent, and you should totally blame my shitty work monitor. 😊 It certainly had nothing to do with me being a dweeb who doesn't know how to photoedit, no sir, not at all.~

P.P.S. If you like the photo editing though, you can absolutely use these for whatever purpose that strikes your fancy, babes. You can make them your profile picture. You can repost them to your blog. Hell, you don't even have to credit me. Do whatever you want with this bloodied up blorbo material ❤️
