Chatting with a friend about reading books.

I haven't read a fictional book in a long while. Like, years. I read a lot on AO3 though. And see and practice my own writing skills.

So imagine my surprise and disappointment when i picked up a fantasy book from the library yesterday. Fully published and at least 4 books in the series. Author bio says they went to college for literature.

AND THE WRITING IS SO HORRIBLE

Like, the whole first chapter is Telling me things, not Showing me things.

All the things the character told me about the world would have been SO INTERESTING to learn through the character's experience. Instead I was thrown a lot of information that means nothing to me right now and the MC telling me directly how they're "scared and evil and totally breaking the law and totally dont care cuz they are considered an illegal person and their boss is both kind but a jerk and works them too hard blah blah blah"

It was almost like reading a bullet list. WTF

Rent help!

We need some help making ends meet to pay rent which we are already very late on. We were close to our goal but unexpectedly got a flat tire and had to buy a whole new tire which wiped what we had saved.

Everything helps. Happy holidays and I'll work on some holiday themed fics soon 🙏

Something that literally changed my life was working with a friend on a coding thing. He was helping me create an auto rig script and was trying to explain something to me but his words were just turning into static in my brain. I was tired and confused and there was so many new concepts happening.

I could feel myself working toward a crying meltdown and was getting preemptively ashamed of what was about to happen when he said, “Hey, are you someone who benefits from breaks?”

It broke me.

Did I benefit from breaks? I didn’t know. I’d never taken them.

When a problem frustrated or upset me I just gritted my teeth and plowed through the emotional distress because eventually if you batter and flail at something long enough you figure it out. So what if you get bruised on the way.

I viscerally remembered in that moment being forced to sit at the table late into the night with my dad screaming at me, trying to understand math. I remembered taking that with me into adulthood and having breakdowns every week trying to understand coding. I could have taken a break? Would it help? I didn’t know! I’d never taken one!

“Yes,” I told him. We paused our call. I ate lunch. I focused on other stuff for half an hour. I came back in a significantly better state of mind, and the thing he’d been trying to explain had been gently cooking in the back of my head and seemed easier to understand.

Now when I find myself gritting my teeth at problems I can hear his gentle voice asking if I benefit from breaks. Yes, dear god, yes why did I never get taught breaks? Why was the only way I knew to keep suffering until something worked?

I was relating to this same friend recently my roadtrip to the redwoods with my wife. “We stopped every hour or so to get out and stretch our legs and switch drivers. It was really nice. When I was a kid we’d just drive twelve hours straight and not stop for anything, just gas. We’d eat in the car and power through.”

He gave a wry smile, immediately connecting the mindset of my parents on a road trip to what they’d instilled in me about brute forcing through discomfort. “Do you benefit from breaks?” he echoed, drawing my attention to it, making me smile with the same sad acknowledgement.

Take breaks. You’re allowed. You don’t have to slam into problems over and over and over, let yourself rest. It will get easier. Take. Breaks.
