when fanfic authors say that they don’t decide what happens in the story that the characters make the decisions i imagine it like this:

writer: *sitting down* type type type type *squinting at the screen* type type type

writer: *gasp* WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT…… type type type

[theprofoundnight]

i’ve been doing my homework on how to break into a writing career and honestly. there’s a Lot that i didn’t know about thats critical to a writing career in this day and age, and on the one hand, its understandable because we’re experiencing a massive cultural shift, but on the other hand, writers who do not have formal training in school or don’t have the connections to learn more via social osmosis end up extremely out of loop and working at a disadvantage. 

[theprofoundnight]

What’s the difference between negative and intrusive thoughts?

Examples of negative thoughts:

They are ignoring me because they are mad at me.

I should have gone to the gym today.

I am not going to get this job. I just know I’m going to mess up and be too nervous.

They have everything going for them, what do I have?

If only I would have…, this wouldn’t have happened. It’s my fault.

Examples of intrusive thoughts:

I could just put that knife through my hand. 

If I walk into that room I could see a dead body.  

Do I really love my partner?

I should put my hand on the hot stove.

If I leave the taps on it could cause a flood.

Could I have or contract a deadly disease?

What if I’m actually gay/straight?

What if I hurt or have hurt another person without knowing?

As you can see from the examples above, intrusive thoughts are often questions, as if to deliberately provoke rumination and obsessing (in which the initial question is never truly answered). Intrusive thoughts can come about randomly, are graphic/disturbing in nature, and have no connection to the person’s usual behaviour or even the situation at hand. They are difficult to ignore because they either imply a catastrophic consequence or give the person an increasing sense of discomfort. Intrusive thoughts can also come in the form of false memories in which it’s difficult to tell if it’s an intrusive thought or a memory.

Anyone can have intrusive thoughts from time to time. However when the thoughts are more frequent and/or distressing it often indicates mental illness. Conditions that have intrusive thoughts as symptoms include: OCD, social/general anxiety disorder, depression, eating disorders, ADHD, personality disorders, PTSD, bipolar disorder, brain injuries, dementia, Parkinson’s disease.

Negative thoughts are more likely to be an emotional response to an event, relationship, or situation and are the result of a person’s low self esteem or past trauma. 

Sometimes negative thoughts can lead to or come after intrusive thoughts; e.g believing you’re being ignored and then having intrusive thoughts questioning/listing odd reasons why the other person is doing so, or having a specific intrusive thought about a loved one and believing yourself to be an awful person.

With negative thoughts treatment usually consists of re-framing them, and seeing the situation from a different, more positive perspective in order to adjust your thinking patterns and behaviour in the future. “If they’re ignoring me, that’s their problem. While I don’t understand why I won’t hold it against them. They might be busy, as people often are.”

With intrusive thoughts treatment can focus on the person allowing the thoughts to pass through the mind, reminding themselves that the thoughts are involuntary, and to not fear these thoughts or react emotionally to them (cognitive diffusion). Often a way to do this is through exposure, in which the person builds up to confronting their intrusive thoughts/object of fear and sitting with the uncomfortable feeling until it no longer bothers them and being able to do daily activities despite the anxiety.

• Use the hand you write with.

• Make a fist with your thumb outside, not tucked inside. If it’s tucked inside your fist, when you punch someone, you might break your thumb. The thumb goes across your fingers, not on the side.

• Don’t be like in the movies—don’t aim for the face. Face punches don’t usually stop people, and you can miss when they duck their head or break your hand on their jaw. If you want to get away quickly, or end a fight, aim for the chest, or the ribs. If you really want to do some damage, e.g., you’re being attacked, aim for the throat, which will make it hard for your attacker to breathe for a hot minute.

• When you punch, you want to aim and hit with your first two knuckles. Not the flats of your fingers, and not your ring or pinky knuckles, which can break more easily. You can use your weight, if you’re on your feet, to add wallop, and spring into a punch with your feet and torso.

1. People will always tell you that you’re either too much or not enough. Sometimes, they will be wrong. Sometimes, they will be right. That’s okay. You’re worth loving, anyway. 2. I know you like to save people, I know. But a burning house cannot keep anyone it harbors safe. In the end, all that will be left is the remnants of “you tried”. If they try to set fire to your foundations, kick them out. They will be better off, anyway. 3. A lost cause is only that because no one has tried hard enough to find it, not because it is not worth saving. Remember that if you ever become one. 4. That feeling of emptiness you have really is temporary. I know you know it like the back of your hand, but one day it will be a stranger that you will barely recognize if it ever says hello again. 5. Anne with an ‘e’ taught you that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet. But, when tomorrow comes, and mistakes are everywhere, it’s important to remember that you are not the only one making them. 6. They say that if it won’t matter in a year, don’t worry about it. You have felt guilty and overemotional so many times for disobeying that rule. Don’t. You are just living in the present and feeling all of it. 7. Patience. Something will come eventually, even if it’s not what you asked for. Patience. 8. Stand up for those who laid down when you needed someone the most. Teach them kindness – someone else may reap the benefits, and life isn’t always about you. Remember that no one ever taught them to be kind, and they must have felt just as lonely as you. 9. Life is not always what you make of it. Sometimes others change it for the worse, or the better, but life is how you live it. 10. There is an endless seam of strength in you that will last your entire lifetime. The deeper you must dig, the more it will hurt, and the stronger you will be.

nonsensicalelephant,  writing prompt #62: list 10 pieces of advice you’d give yourself (via wnq-writers)

[theprofoundnight]

These are my 9 favourite pieces from The Shortest Story so far. I’m so, so proud of what I’ve built with this project. It’s made me love writing fiction again.

Right now I’m Kickstarting a book of 88 of these stories, including:

13 stories narrated by Cecil Baldwin, voice of Welcome to Night Vale, who narrated the trailer

Incredible guest authors, including Robert Shearman (Doctor Who), Helen Marshall (Hair Side, Flesh Side) and Shawn Coss (Any Means Necessary, Cyanide and Happiness)

I’d love if you could check out the book or boost this post. You can also read an album of my 30 best stories on Imgur right now, including unreleased material! Thanks so, so much.
