      Wouldn’t it be nice if we all had identical brains? (It wouldn’t, but it would at least be practical.)

      If this were the case, then we would all be writing meaningful stories about boys whose dogs and mother die. (Really meaningful)

      Sometimes it is necessary to paint the sky black in order to see the stars.

          Lol. Yeah, I get told it’s a lot.

            As long as you love it and it contains a piece of your heart, that’s all that matters. <3

            I’m not sure how to feel about this. I feel more as if I’m trying to put my heart into it, and I haven’t found the way to express it in writing format. But thanks for the encouragement. 😁

            AH I take it back! I don’t want to share brains, and I don’t want to write about the same concept over and over. I like individuality after all.

              Hi, I don’t believe I’ve talked to you in what feels like ages 😂

              I wish I could be of advice but uh I haven’t touched my draft in months?? Ikr???

              I did at some point stop writing scenes I wasn’t interested in and that kinda helped. Like idk, I watch some anime that just skips the boring stuff. A great example of this is I was reading (manga this time) Blue Lock, and then main character fell asleep during a important soccer match, meaning it had to be explained to him. I realized afterwards this was just the author being really smart. The match wasn’t super important, and by the main character having it explained to him we get it summarized as readers. I want to learn how to do stuff like that in my writing because it made the book flow really well. Ig there are some scenes you just have to write though, so idk. I guess I’m not the person to be telling you how to write when I haven’t written in so long lol.
