Darling, you are a blessing!
I had that book on my list the other day to go buy from the book store. I'm glad to know it is now endorsed.
If you ever need anything --my vacuous knowledge is yours. <3 GOTH-SQUAD!
I have mixed feelings about writing classes. And, I say this as someone with a degree in English Lit & Fiction Writing --meh. The biggest thing I had to overcome, and bless the patience of my Co-Writer for this, is because that was the only circle I was in (other Lit Degrees) we just got into this vortex of trying to impress one another, instead of actually writing a story. Writers writing for Writers was a cesspool of terrible that I don't wish on anyone.
So, I had to step back and reevaluate what I wanted. Do I want to strive for the next 'great work of art' or do I want to write books for people who need everything that I needed? I knew that my end goal was to write all the books I was desperate to read, so -- that's where I'm at now. Am I striving for some award, no, not anymore.
What I want now, is to one day see fanart, and people cosplaying as my characters. I wanna see people reaching out and going 'yo--your book helped me when I was in a bad spot. That character is someone I think about when I need strength,' because in the end, that's what they do for me. I write these people, for people, and for me. For real, there's a character than I cling to when I'm in a bad way and having an episode. "What would they do?" and the answer is "not put up with this shit, that's for sure" and that's given me strength.
I straight up stood up for myself a couple weeks ago, and told someone off, and then hung up the phone on them, and sat on my couch wide-eyed going 'what the hell just happened to me? I think that character possessed me!'
ANYWAY--tangent aside.
If you want help, or have questions, or want to bounce writing stuff back and forth, my DM is always opened.
And, also, because I suppose this is now tradition...
Your Historical Fun Fact:
Medieval Peoples, at least in England, were afraid to fart in bed, b/c they thought it would invite the devil.
They also slept naked, and it was not unheard of, of same-sex to share the bed...naked.
Use that how you want.
