If u want to write a story about a character that’s just you but hotter with a dark twisted backstory and magical powers and a pet falcon or something, I think u should just go ahead and do that. Who’s gonna stop you? The government?? Fuck the police.
What if someone barges in, points at said character and scream, “Mary Sue!”
Tell them to come back with a warrant
This post came across my dash again and now I am having an absolute blast with self insert hotter me that gets the girls and guys everywhere.
they’re saying spending 2 hours in the word doc changing words slightly to be more specific and evocative and moving endless commas around is one of the most noble and respected things that you can do
you gotta explain EVERYTHING, otherwise your readers will never be satisfied! the protagonist of your fantasy story can’t just have powers randomly, they got them from touching a space rock! and the space rock can’t have just randomly turned up, it was attracted by a magnetic field! and the magnetic field wasn’t there for no reason, it was there because the character’s house was built on top of a secret government base! and the reason that the secret government base was there is
I think u should start writing your original story btw. I want to read it.
addition: I understand wanting to wait until things feel Right to write. but as someone who also contends with adhd and The Situations there is not going to be a time where it magically feels perfect to write. “I’ll do it someday / later / when…” is an endless delay. you’ve gotta crack open a document and write something even if it sucks ass because if you don’t get your brain used to the habit it’s not gonna stick. the time you can start is Now.
