after seeing your tags on that poll abt which part of writing is the hardest, i’m so moved and fascinated by how different our answers are and by how differently in general people handle the same activity and the challenges that come with it

like i absolutely get where you’re coming from but that’s not how my brain chooses to work and that’s amazing to me, especially as it pertains to storytelling - which is a whole other world on its own

storytelling to me has always been a way of processing and holding up a mirror, maybe because writing to me has always mostly been done from a roleplaying perspective. it's writing yes, but also acting, you create one single character and get to know them scarily close, and then you get to know your fellow player's character scarily close too. it's inevitable. and then what also becomes inevitable is you start to see what makes their character tick, why they built their character the way they did—you start to see them in their character.

and then what comes next but to see you in your characters?

all of this to say; i've struggled with beginnings too like i said. i still do a lot sometimes! beginnings are scary as fuck. and when you see that reflected from your pages in real life, that is a hard pill to swallow. this poll was another mirror, or maybe some bitter medicine i really didn't like taking lol. another reminder of what i struggle with in life. and isn't that the beauty of art? getting to see a reflection of you, however brief it may be? even if the creator themself isn't aware what they did, even if it is just from a poll, because anything can be art?
