i’ll write the shittest thing ever and post it and someone in the comments will gas it to the moon and then i’ll write the jaw dropping bestseller of next century and it gets like 4 hits maximum

#this happens in irl writing workshops too #you submit an ASS piece of work and theyre like ‘oh wow ☺️ i loved it ☺️’ and i convince myself theyre lying #but then their critique is for things that i didnt even catch??? wow ts is so perplexing #the worst is when you get conflicting reactions like JUST TELL ME IF THIS PIECE IS BAD OR GOOD #someone so strongly dislikes one part of the piece and that part is someones favourite part of the piece #‘art is subjective’ i dont care everyone has to like my stuff at least #fanfic #ao3 #writeblr #rewriting

on today's episode of 'what on earth is wrong with that guy?' my father saw my graded sheet and my TA had written 'thank you :)' with a smiley face on it and my father asked me who wrote that. and i said my TA. and then he said 'is the TA a boy or a girl??' and looked deeply concerned when i said it's a man and then he kept prodding me to translate for him all the notes and corrections on my sheet 💀

#i promise you sparks cannot and will not fly between anyone in a six hour workshop #we are all in a caffeine fueled haze and bent over awkwardly over our desks until we can't feel our feet #and by the time we submit our sheets we're like 'if the TA gives me a bad grade for this i will hold onto him and throw us both out of the #the window like in that one scene in sherlock holmes 2' #i want to know what he pictures when i go to class #he already watches from a distance like a freak to make sure i go through the door before he leaves #(because it doesn't occur to him that if i wanted to sneak away i could still let him watch me go through then wait for him to go then #go out through another gate??? campus is big it has lots of gates) #weird man. hope he gets better soon. all that obsession can't be good for his health

[gigantomachylesbian]

men love to act like they're god's gift to prose fiction, like their workshop advice is the sole thing needed to Fix Your Story, and then not even be good writers.

#writing #sorry. being a hater. #I volunteer as an editor for my college's literary magazine and this guy sent us a REALLY pissy email because we rejected his work #even though we went out of our way to say he could submit a different piece we'd read of his for class that was more polished #AND he was like ummm. why didn't you give me useful feedback for my piece? buddy we rejected it. it's not our job to workshop you #ESPECIALLY because we're giving people like. only three days to make edits. either your piece is basically ready or we can't take it #and let me tell you. the piece he sent in was NOT basically ready. some would say it was not even good. #and it's like. again this guy is SOOOOO authoritative. He acts like he is RIGHT and so smart and he's not even a good writer. lol.

[abyssaldyke]

Having a weird one because I've been objectively doing some of the best writing of my life but I'm also getting pummeled with rejections which is part of it I know but there's also the fear that I'm plateauing or jumping around on projects too much and not focusing enough on prepping a novel but alternatively there's no right way to do things except what if there is and what if I'm fuckin it up a bit.

#ya girl #writing tag #i didnt write today i ran errands #im just working on this story for an anthology and im cursed to always be writing something a little too difficult #also im such a creature of pleasures. those pleasures being unpublishable gore #its FINE its going to be SO FINE. #i just wish id have it in for workshop i would like to be workshopped before i submit #maybe after the original anthology call deadline.

…literally any good writing class

#look if u study creative writing at the college level you’re going to have to get used to writing literary fiction #if u have a good school you’ll be able to return to genre work at the higher level classes #but learning literary techniques is so So necessary when pursuing a cw degree #you gotta be able to form your stories outside of genre tropes and conventions #(gonna be clear this is JUST in an academic setting agdhd) #biggest pet peeve is when my classmates submit genre for workshop in a literary fiction class

Finished up some more cursed city friends over the week as some chill time from wildly stressful work

the 'i want to do my masters in writing so i can teach writing at university level' to 'i'm starting to believe creative writing should not be a degree that you can get at all' pipeline

#not in a shaming individuals who have or plan to get writing degrees way. i mean im still considering it #like from an academisation of writing pov.... #i dont think a writing degree should have the weight that it does with the barriers it creates #the thing is my dream job/state of existence is things that would only be possible to keep me afloat #if i did writing postgrad and go the right connections at the right time #but i dont like anything that turns writing into an institution and creates barriers for access #i dont think writers esp vulnerable writers should be taught that to get certain levels of access they need #to put themselves through a system that is so sexist misogynistic homophobic transphobic racist ableist bigoted etc #and that's if they can even GET in the programs in the first place #i got offers for my dream MA two years in a row and the only thing that stopped me was costs #and now if i apply again i wont be able to use my writing teachers as references because they have to have taught me in the last two years #SO WHO TF DO I USE!!!! #i think there needs to be more cultivation in spaces that study and share writing theory and create workshop and connections without #the academic institution of it all #idk im starting to be like what will a writing MFA give me except connections and access #also i was wondering why im slower at writing short fiction than i was last year BITCH!! YOU WERE IN A CREATIVE WRITING CLASS #you literally HAD to write stories so you might as well submit them! #the only reason i have a pushcart nom and a writing grant is bc of the stories i had to write for that class

,

#lmao so a teacher at my uni is organising a workshop for translating a short story #and a friend let me know (cause i don't have any courses left to do and am just waiting to submit my stuff to get my degree) #and i wanna be a translator so i thought it's interesting but also i have anxiety and don't have any information about when or where etc #so i didn't have the courage to go until another friend went #'[the girl i have a crush on] will be there as well!' #and i've never applied for something so fast in my life i- #i can't believe i'm this simple...... #anyway i hope i get accepted cause there's already a lot of people who applied :/ we'll see

A good thing - I got in to Sewanee Writers’ Conference this summer!

I didn’t get into a single workshop last year and assumed that would happen this year too.

Chris Bachelder is one of the fiction faculty and I hope I get him! I mean I know good at writing != good at teaching writing, but for various reasons including interviews with him that I’ve read, I just have a FEELING that he’ll be a good teacher.

#fack what am I going to submit for workshop?!
