this twitter thread really got to me. because yeah. it is a torment and it is a blessing, and the reward comes from struggling through pinning down the vast expanse of your imagination to the written word. the self is inherent to the process. the way we experience the world influences how we describe it in language and how we organize it into something told linearly.

yeah. I care about writing stories so much. I care about how I tell them and the way I tell them because the process is what makes the story. somewhere between all the floating plot points in your head and the trying to put it into the right words in the right order, the life essence of the story generates itself.

to surrender the process to something that does not experience the magnificent struggle of being alive is a tremendous loss.

#I have never been a fan of the idea of ai art. it feels like a diminishing of our humanity if I’m being (only slightly) dramatic about it #but idk man the thought of normalizing ai writing is particularly egregious to me #I would legitimately be worse off as a person if I had never written fiction #there were some things that I don’t think my emotionally illiterate teenage self could have recognized well enough to discuss w/anyone #but which made themselves apparent to me through the fiction writing I did #even now getting a piece of paper or my notes app and just going is one of the best methods for me to figure out the root of a funk #being able to express *yourself* through language is so so so important. we can’t give it up.#I am grabbing you all by the shoulders. do not give it up.#eve talks #writing
