What to give a fuck about,while writing your first draft!
I`ve posted a list about things you don´t need to give a fuck about while writing your first draft. Here are things you NEED TO CARE about! (in my opinion)
Your Authentic Voice: Don't let the fear of judgment or comparison stifle your unique voice. I know it´s hard,but try to write from your heart, and don't worry about perfection in the first draft. Let your authenticity shine through your words.
Your Story, Your Way: It's your narrative, your world, and your characters. Don't let external expectations or trends dictate how your story should unfold. Write the story you want to tell.
Progress Over Perfection: Your first draft is not the final product; it's the raw material for your masterpiece. Give a fuck about making progress, not achieving perfection. Embrace imperfections and understand that editing comes later.
Consistency and Routine: Discipline matters. Make a commitment to your writing routine and stick to it.
Feedback and Growth: While it's essential to protect your creative space during the first draft, be open to constructive feedback later on. Giving a f*ck about growth means you're willing to learn from others and improve your work.
Self-Compassion: Mistakes, writer's block, and self-doubt are all part of the process. Give a f*ck about being kind to yourself. Don't beat yourself up if the words don't flow perfectly every time. Keep pushing forward and remember that writing is a journey.
Remember, the first draft is your canvas, your playground. Don't bog yourself down with unnecessary worries.

I'm so serious once you start advocating for children to be banned from places like cafes and restaurants soon enough other marginalised groups are gonna get banned too (more outwardly that is). to me, your hatred for children is a litmus test for how much humanity you see in other marginalised people

I've talked about if before but it's a frustrating thing that ppl get caught up on with asexuality where they think asexuality just equals "doesn't want sex" instead of actually understanding that it's about attraction.
It's a sexuality for a reason, and being asexual doesn't dictate anything else about a person, neither their libido or fictional interests or anything. It simply means not being sexually attracted to people, and the specifics vary from person to person.

The deeply moralist tone that a lot of discussions about media representation take on here are primarily neoliberal before they are anything else. Like the shouting matches people get into about “purity culture” “pro/anti” etc nonsense (even if I think it’s true that some people have a deeply christian worldview about what art ought to say and represent about the world) are downstream of the basic neoliberal assumption that we can and must educate the public by being consumers in a market. “Bad representation” is often framed as a writer’s/developer’s/director’s/etc’s failure to properly educate their audience, or to educate them the wrong way with bad information about the world (which will compel their audience to act, behave, internalise or otherwise believe these bad representations about some social issue). Likewise, to “consume” or give money to a piece of media with Bad Representation is to legitimate and make stronger these bad representations in the world, an act which will cause more people to believe or internalise bad things about themselves or other people. And at the heart of both of those claims is, again, the assumption that mass public education should be undertaken by artists in a private market, who are responsible for creating moral fables and political allegories that they will instil in their audiences by selling it to them. These conversations often become pure nonsense if you don’t accept that the moral and political education of the world should be directed by like, studio executives or tv actors or authors on twitter. There is no horizon of possibility being imagined beyond purchasing, as an individual consumer in a market, your way into good beliefs about the world, instilled in you by Media Product

What not to care about while writing
Writing can be difficult.Here are some basic things i learned to NOT give a fuck about while writing your first draft!
Grammar and spelling in your first draft.
What others might think of your story.
The length of your story; it can be short or long.
Writing every detail - leave room for the reader's imagination.
Whether your story aligns with current trends or popular genres.
Overthinking the title or cover art at the beginning.
Perfect pacing in the initial draft.
The order in which you write scenes - you can rearrange later.
Trying to make every character likable or relatable.
Writing the perfect first draft; let your first draft be really messy.#
