lastly.

over at aff. i find beauty in those whom i appreciate not just because of their work but also their overall character as the writer. dark or comedy or even dark comedy, angst driven or anger laden, the one who pens them makes the mark for me. you may be a really hot guy who plays college basketball but you write awesome angst. nobody would know. and i won't care to either. but only true writers will know the underlying character of the writer through their letters, and their work. and we all know, each of us we have our demons. it'll be a shame if it controls you. don't let your demons push your work away, even if your patience has eaten over your threshold, even when you get criticized or even if you get plagiarized and cheated.

i've always thought being pessimistic and being negative are two completely different waves in a spectrum. one is necessary, the other can be plainly avoided. and from my understanding with existentialism, the latter may just be the reason some of us might have dragged along such dark karma onto our work or it's after effects in the first place. but here i'm pointing out only a few sad cases.

i use fan-fic as a purpose of practice and a re-development over what i have already begun years ago, rather than turn it into a life's blood. call it a refresher. a literary vacation away. because honestly, we're not silly. a writer's original work is kept for keeping's sake. i don't show mine. and as much as i am thankful and grateful to have readers, who wait for more of what i know are my ridiculously confusing fan-fics; i'm not actually driven by it. i won't put out even consistently finished chapters until i'm ready for it and i don't really live for subs or upvotes although they become a pleasant surprise when i get them.

but i am sure i will thrive on constructive suggestions and support just as much. just message me. anytime. i work long studio hours doing design. and i come back home exhausted but my imagination will always need a release. so there are poetry on my blog here, or plotlines to finish research on. so yes, my chapters are slow. unlike many. also, it's partly to control any form of plagiarism at it's bud. and yes, there are other ways. but it's another story. we're not in a realist driven post-war angst-era of sub-texts and non-verbal communication anymore. musicians connect. they put out their unpublished stuff on soundcloud knowing the risks. i don't understand it myself. but why...take all the trouble when you could just put it out officially? why a randomly recorded work where someone can steal them? hmm? the world is getting bigger by getting smaller at it's core: communication. and so should writers. we have our dignity to keep, but truthfully we are far behind. we have the connections but we're either unfamiliar with the thought of thought-sharing and mentoring or we're just plain loners.

and being prissy, isn't quite...going to help. anyone. at. all.

it'll just spread negative vibes and seep to everyone's core.

today i saw two sides of this place.
the wholesome ones and the wisenheimer types.
let's keep to the left and stay wholesome.

thank you. nite.

stay positive. :)
