How to ask for feedback on the first draft of your novel
A reader who has no previous experience with your novel can bring a fresh set of eyes and new perspective to your writing to help you close the gap between what you think you’ve put on the page and what you have actually put on the page.
Obtaining outside feedback is an essential piece of the evaluation step of the novel writing process. A reader who has no previous experience with your novel can bring a fresh set of eyes and new perspective to your writing to help you close the gap between what you think you’ve put on the page and what you have actually put on the page. When asking others to review a draft of your novel, it is…

what’s there not to understand about hypomania? you know when you get overtired, and like a toddler, you get all hyperactive and also want to cry or do Every Fun Thing you can think of and it actually becomes harder to sleep? like as a result of too much overwhelm or being so emotionally exhausted that’s how your body makes you able to cope, the aftereffects of too much adrenaline? just imagine being stuck like that. and every day it triggers itself more, overload of emotional whiplash and energy and you’ve lost all ability to think rationally and you can do anything at this point, because why not? you’ve got nothing left in you to hold back on any idea that could be exciting and stop you from falling into the void where the wiredness you feel has nothing to latch onto to burn off that nervous energy in a positive way, emotionally. for days or weeks or months on end. you don’t need to have ever experienced this fully to extrapolate and be like. yeah. I can see how it would suck eventually to get stuck like that
#at this point I’m begging people to see the overlap with adhd too bc anecdotally it seems like everyone I know also has that#and the overlap with bpd and hpd but I think the main difference is. being stuck in that high energy state. even when the energy turns sad#and bitter and hopeless. it’s essentially just overstimulation from your own brain. gets stuck overstimulating itself to cope maybe?#like i know people say it’s not triggered by life events but they sometimes can trigger it. but imho depression is gonna trigger it too#eventually. anything where everything is Too Much can start the positive feedback loop that’s almost impossible to turn off#which if you don’t know what a positive feedback loop is. means smth triggers smth which goes back and triggers its original trigger#thus getting bigger and bigger in magnitude. it’s like the chicken and the egg. egg makes chicken and chicken makes egg. more egg more#chicken and more chicken more egg. as opposed to a negative feedback loop which by the time there gets enough of smth it stops triggering#making more of it. your body relies on negative feedback loops for smth called homeostasis which is basically keeping everything stable#so obv positive feedback loops are gonna do the opposite of stable. in this case for your energy and your mood#most people are able to sleep better when they’re tired. my hypothesis of hypomania is when being tired makes you less able to rest#and that obviously spirals in on itself. mania would just be an extension of that I guess? but in some people it does happen really fast so#I get the narrative that it’s a chemical imbalance bc it is. but the specific imbalance being the tendency to a positive feedback loop make#more sense to me too. and can be why predictability and external cycles to ground yourself to are so important#there’s also never a 0% chance of you ever having a manic episode btw. anyones brain can theoretically get into this loop it’s just that if#you’re genetically predisposed to bipolar you’re much more likely to! and that’s okay. you can manage it with meds and lifestyle#but it makes sense why lowering stress (which can trigger this cycle) is such an important part of treatment and management#anyway. hopefully I’m not like. horribly horribly wrong or smth. in the end I can only speak for my experience so lmk if I’m missing smth#bipolar awareness#bipolar 2#hypomania#personal mental health tag#neurodivergence#would you believe I was reminiscing about a concert I went to once. and it made me think of all this

i just want you to know that you may be having a hard time with your art, but we all have hard times with our art! it doesn't stop you from being any less inspiring!! every time i see your art on my dash i am filled with wonder! your colours! your poses! your expressions!! theyre all so good like candy to me!!! and i know it probably doesn't mean much since we're strangers and all, but... but!!! i hope you know how much your art is loved and that you can take some solace in that. and also i hope you have fun with artfight (':
OH NO IT ACTUALLY MEANS A LOT AAAA UDHGFHDF LISTEN I think the only reason I haven't lost my mind yet is because people in social media appreciate what I'm putting out, getting messages like this, seeing nice tags on posts, it all helps with grounding my perception! Everyone has flukes in art and it isn't exactly a linear process but it is very helpful to be able to see people still enjoy what I can manage to make!
So thank you a thousand for the message, you're so kind!!!
#ngl if i had to art alone and not share it I'd probably lose my mind dhugfhdfg#the external feedback helps so so much

Tumblr is such a pain in the ass to navigate anymore:
-I have to jump through hoops to access my blog from the dash now instead of clicking my icon at the top the page, I guess that was TOO convenient.
-I can't see the name of the person who I reblogged stuff from once I reblogged it, making finding them again a huge pain. Whatever, its not like I wanted to visit their blog and maybe, I dunno, follow them.
-Lack of icons is making the dash a muddy mess of guesswork. Guess you can hide terrible adds more easily when no one knows who's talking.
I still can't believe this site was acting so high and mighty a few months ago pointing fingers at other trashfire social media's sites and laughing like this place was so much better, then decided it had to join the fun and trash itself to be like them. Obviously the burning wreckage of failed social media sites is the best thing to restucture and model your entire business around.
What a waste.
#staff#changes#@staff#@changes#there lack of customer service and response to feedback is also appalling.#its trash tumblr-ten pm time#I just wanted to scroll a bit before bed#now its a just an eyesore mess that even all our external patches are having a hard ti#e keeping up

truly something that, amidst facing / going through a dramatic Life Change ft. unavoidable emotional effects of that, there are instances where i can't conceal any & all degrees of being distressed / upset, & repeatedly getting "it's hard for me too" as a Direct Response to that: really something & a half how the asserted theoretical Sympathy of [i feel similarly!] is invoked so as to, oh you know, preclude sympathetic Treatment. such as that what would be More sympathetic in these instances would be to say Nothing, "if there's nothing but dismissal / making it first & foremost about someone else's feelings to say, don't say it at all" style
#reading also that original Lovelessness essay ''love is meant to make me human / love is also the mechanism by which my humanity#has been denied'' always preferring to have [sorry! couldn't fully bottle up this Emotiona externally manifesting at all!] Ignored rather#than ''nicely'' interacted with so as to Invalidate; Dismiss; someone's annoyed at you for having it; etc#for bonus context like we are not in the same boat with it.#not a case of ''the same situation; mine is worse though'' like no; fundamentally different situations here lmao. mine is worse#If You Feel So Bad. Or At All. then at least now do me the favor of Not Saying That; Repeatedly#their feelings put on me too in other ways. stewing resentment into lashing out; tossing out ''but i'm justified'' like ok! Your business!!#the ol like. If You're Going To Do Something Anyways then how you justify it to yourself is Your business / b/w you & your god as they say#& the last thing to do is be making it the problem of ppl Most Affected by what you're gonna do anyways & Also ask their Absolution.....#like if you need more moral support abt What You're Doing Anyways: turn to Anyone Else. even No One if you have to.#bit going tf through it when it's spilling over into Posting but such is life!! we all have that [the horrors. girl help] blogger on dash#again the tl;dr like oh you don't say. the [umm but have you considered? My Feelings! (they're so sympathetic at all. yor welcome)] is#the mechanism through which Really basic sympathy is being denied & replaced with [Saying Nothing would've been less hurtful]#misgendering me the other night too while Also all 'hey I'm trying to talk to the customer service. why are You going up & talking first'#(that was me experiencing the latter. i didn't say it but i was like cmon. my glasses are fogging up w/surgical mask (don't have access to#more effective masks so doing what Nonzero i can there) i'm a bit carsick i'm weathering a crisis. can i have anything here lol)#just Oh You Know. The Horrors....#balancing ofc trying to endure trying to self soothe etc etc. with ''it's the horrors. it's gonna be horrific & you're gonna be affected''#ah the [being kind to oneself] like also means knowing how reasonable it is to Not solo contain & endure & Cope Through everything....#crushing a paper cup in my hands genuinely i would like to generously thank my virtual allies out here today. mic feedback#irl In Real Life? life is Real asf here & nobody Realer than them

ok I napped three times, walked twice, read a lot, called my mom, and wrote a couple thank you notes. not bad! hands are bothering me a lot but taking a break from reading will help. heading to dinner with liz & family now then I’ll swing by the grocery store on the way home. meals this week:
sweet corn pasta
roasted veggie bowl with tahini sauce
linguine with roasted broccoli & ricotta
#I have done a good job of managing my stress around work this weekend#[r] scheduled a meeting on tues but I’m going to go into it very calm#and I have some questions/sentences I can use to lower the temperature/refocus us if needed#I know I am doing a good job at my job. like I just know that. I’m getting tons of external feedback#from others indicating that this is the case#so I am not going to get defensive or let this rattle me#she’s obviously stressed that she didn’t hire someone to replace the other director in time#and now will have two key people out#but that isn’t my problem and I’m doing everything I can to set my little team up for success#so I’m not going to let her emotions about it spill over onto me

Self-evaluation vs. external feedback: The value of each to the novel writing process
There is often a gap between what you think you’ve put on the page and what you have actually put on the page. Seeking outside assistance when evaluating your novel draft can help you identify gaps that you might miss on your own.
When you’re writing a novel, there are many benefits to both evaluating your own writing and getting feedback from others. Evaluating your own writing can help you identify any potential problems with your story, such as plot holes, inconsistencies, or underdeveloped characters. It can also help you improve your writing style and make sure that your novel is as engaging as possible. However,…

So I wrote this and also drew the flowers so here it is, it's about Geordi and Data preparing for their first date, and also it's about some flowers that I made up
Geordi looked through the replicator's selection of flowers. None of them seemed to be right. Now that he was actually here, he didn't know what to do. He hadn't actually expected Data to say yes. He didn't know what he'd expected. There were a thousand thoughts flying through his head and he tried to block them out by focusing on the flowers. Then he saw them. Kathanian daisies. They were a warm yellow with dark red stems, each of the seven petals was a perfect square, and they produced a bright glow that couldn't be seen by the average human eye, but both Geordi and Data would be able to see. Although Data would never admit it, Geordi was sure he'd seen him smiling when they'd seen some of these flowers on an away mission on the planet they came from.
Data stood in his quarters. If he had been capable of it, he would most certainly have been incredibly nervous as he prepared for his date with Geordi. Geordi had been nervous, when he had asked Data to go on the date. He considered whether he should change his clothes. What would Geordi be wearing? It was customary to bring flowers on a date. He decreased the speed at which the screen above the replicator showed him the possible flower choices. At this speed it would take him 7 minutes 12 seconds to see them all. He had exactly 18 minutes 42 seconds before the time he had agreed to meet Geordi. Data had never asked Geordi what his favourite flowers were. It had never come up. Perhaps he should ask all his friends at some point, although he did not believe there would be a similar situation where he would need to give any of them flowers. He remembered being on the planet Kathano where he and Geordi had been part of the away team, Geordi had seemed to appreciate the flowers that they had seen there. He skipped through the list to find them, and pressed the button to order them. He decided to wear his uniform. He had observed that an average of 63.21% of the people in Ten Forward were wearing their uniform at any time he had been there. He left his quarters and headed to Ten Forward. Geordi was not there yet. Data was 7 minutes 36 seconds early. He had observed that the table in the back corner was usually the one chosen by couples on dates, and decided to sit at it. He placed the flowers on the table in front of him and waited.
Geordi ordered the flowers, then looked towards Ten Forward. They'd agreed to meet at eighteen hundred hours, which was in about five minutes. Even from two decks away. Geordi could make out a faint glowing outline of Data, who appeared to be sitting down. He picked up the flowers and left his quarters. He could feel his heart pounding as he stepped out of the turbolift and walked the short way down the corridor. The doors opened to admit him. Data was sitting at a table near the back corner, one which offered a wonderful view out of the windows, and a small amount of privacy. Geordi walked over, a little unsteady with nerves. He felt his face grow hot as he noticed the bouquet of flowers laid on the table was identical to the one in his hands.
#star trek#star trek the next generation#star trek data#data tng#geordi tng#geordi la forge#data x geordi#reposting this because it got no notes the first time and im choosing to believe that it was tumblrs fault#rather than for some reason everyone hating this post specifically#i dont know#if you saw it the first time and just didnt like it then please tell me so i can confirm whether tumblr actually showed it to anyone#i genuinely dont know#also im accepting feedback good or bad on this because i genuinely dont know how good or bad it is and i cant improve without external inpu#t so i know what i need to do to improve because ive never showed people my writing before#these tags are getting a bit long now#ill just shut up and post it now#my writing

Your so talented ❤️. Where do you get all of your ideas? Like, how is each fic and fragment unique?
thank u!! and they’re not THAT unique lol. i reuse a LOT of tropes bc i love them. but honestly? i’ve been in the voltron fandom for like 7 years. i’ve had dumbass little ideas brewing that entire time, and my brain is so rotted thru that EVERYTHING reminds me of them 😭😭 i get so many ideas bc i see the characters everywhere! every dumbass meme, every silly situation, every movie and book, every sign and shop makes me think of them, so inspiration is constant and everywhere :D
#also i thrive off external validation like u would not believe.#so getting constant positive and even critical feedback from everyone every day does like wonders for my mental health lol#this shit has almost single handedly improved my self image#ask

anyway
#also frustrated bc i want to Create but when i post amvs they get like no notes and like#doing it for my own enjoyment not external validation yadda yadda but the external validation is still nice yknow#and i’m kind of mourning my old tumblr and ao3 accounts where i had established followings and like a decades worth of fic published#but some irl people knew about the accounts and i wasn’t enjoying the feeling of performing for people i really know and i missed the#total anonymity so here i am#but like. all that stuff was a part of me and i don’t care about the following so much bc it was mostly other fandoms than spn which is my#main thing now but i guess i miss the continuity with my old self?#and now i feel like an imposter bc i talk about writing fic but have nothing posted on my new ao3 and i just want to scream about all#the stuff i’ve written under a different name but no one cares anyway#and i’m afraid to post anything for spn bc my old fandom (stranger things) was smaller (at least when i was actively writing for it like#2019-2021) and anything i post for spn is just gonna get lost in the noise and i Know i don’t need lots of kudos or whatever to enjoy it#but i’ve been feeling so defeated lately i’m worried posting a fic i’ve poured my soul into and getting no response will just. extra suck#and i’m feeling defeated re: making new amvs too bc there’s so many amvs and no one watches them anyway and it’s fun but half the fun is in#the sharing and the feedback and that just doesn’t really happen#anyway i’m aware i’m being a whiny entitled bitch lmao
