THE STRUGGLE - Tumblr Posts
i couldn't think of a better way to communicate this so its this . my struggle
Depression is hitting pretty hard. The last few job prospects were not what i thought they were.
My last paycheck will be November 15 and i have nothing to replace it.
My woman has already insisted she buy me snow tires, because I advised that I won't have the money to buy them at this time. This makes me ashamed. Especially since she has been stretched thin lately herself.
And a quick flashback to a conversation with my Father yesterday who helpfully reminded me that i "shouldn't be depending on anybody." Thanks, Pops, for the pep talk.
And i still have to go to this place for another 8 shifts. Once again, I'd like to ask why I have to be in this discouraging position while my shithead, incompetent, mysogenist boss suffers with none of it.
me when I go to write but idk what I should have Artificer say next so I go to write for my worldless fic but I don’t feel like writing a fight scene so I go try to figure out what Arti would say and then get bored and go try to write the fight scene and then get bored and try to write what Arti would say and can’t figure out what so I go to write the fight scene but I don’t know if I should include Aven in it so
Loss of motivation is literally such an ass kicker holy shit I just want to render in a bunch of my sketches but at the same time I can’t bring myself to even start. I’m sorry I can’t make any new art right now but I’ll most likely just finish off and post whatever drawings I haven’t posted yet.
daily life of a digital artist:

Writing advice from my uni teachers:
If your dialog feels flat, rewrite the scene pretending the characters cannot at any cost say exactly what they mean. No one says “I’m mad” but they can say it in 100 other ways.
Wrote a chapter but you dislike it? Rewrite it again from memory. That way you’re only remembering the main parts and can fill in extra details. My teacher who was a playwright literally writes every single script twice because of this.
Don’t overuse metaphors, or they lose their potency. Limit yourself.
Before you write your novel, write a page of anything from your characters POV so you can get their voice right. Do this for every main character introduced.
Me: *draws an eye* Not Bad!
Me: *draws other eye* This monstrosity should be burned. I do not deserve to live.
