Writing Positivity - Tumblr Posts - Page 2

This is… incredibly motivating even if it’s not directed at me and I’m on the verge of tears right now

Every word written is a victory. No matter how shitty. No matter how painful to write. No matter if you immediately deleted them, or if you know you will delete them later.

If you wrote - if you tried - I'm proud of you.

Only problem: I'm only a writer if I get my shit together and actually write down what I daydream about 25/8 🥲 Y'all better bet I put "creative hallucinator" on my next resume 🥲 Probably adding "with procrastination issues"

But then again not actually writing is probably 70% of the job description of being a writer sooo...

❝ I wish I could say fanfic writing as a part of my special skills while applying for a job ❞ and what if I say you actually can? because writing fanfic can actually be used as a part of your special skills while applying for a job and it is valid. writing is writing. literally the only thing differentiate fanfic writers from writers who publish and sell original works is that fanfic writers can’t publish and sell their works. that’s all. that’s the only difference. don’t let anyone tell you “fanfic writers aren’t real writers because their works aren’t as good as those of writers who write and sell original works” because that’s utter bullshit. I’ve read so many well written fanfics that are so much better than some published original novels. (here’s the proof.)

wanna know the trick? if you don’t think you’re gonna be taken seriously if you say you write fanfics while in a job interview, then say creative writing. because writing fanfics is considered creative writing. it is creative writing.

fanfic writers can write novel-length fiction, fanfic writers can write as good as any other writers who write original works if not better. fanfic writers are writers and they are just as valid.

you, a fanfic writer, may even be more dedicated and passionate than writers who sell original works because, while they write because it’s their job, you literally write 👏🏻 for 👏🏻 free 👏🏻 out 👏🏻 of 👏🏻 pure 👏🏻 love 👏🏻 and 👏🏻 passion.

that’s a whole novel and you wrote that with pure love and passion. that’s pretty mind blowing.

so yes, you absolutely can and should say creative writing while applying for a job, and say it proudly. you are a writer.

Soooo I just realized that it's tumblr and I don't really have to worry about someone I know seeing anything I post and asking about it or being mean- but also that the whole reason I got on tumblr was to have fun and to just be able to enjoy and share anything that I like with others and vise versa and honestly I've been doing that and having the time of my life--Sooooo, on that note, I changed my mind and I'm just going to post my fic here and while I don't really know what I'm doing I figured I might as well have fun with it so I'm gonna take down the poll and post a teaser and then post the fic, so on that note hope you mind my rambul/waffleing and i'm going to stop talking and end this post before it gets to long hope you have a good day/night

(by the way i'm going to going to be changing my sign off kk bye)
