Note to self: in order to write, you have to actually do more than stare at a Word document rereading what you’ve already written. For example, maybe typing new words would be a good strategy.
it is very important to have friends who unapologetically dislike the same things u dislike that other people like a lot so u can talk about it in private and avoid being a jackass in public.
writing is great but it’s also insanely tiring because like
writing is frustrating
not writing is frustrating
wanting to write and not being able to is frustrating
not wanting to write but knowing you have to because deadlines are a thing is frustrating
also
not wanting to write but wanting the satisfaction of having written is frustrating.
writing thousands of words while suspecting they are all garbage and knowing you won’t be able to tell for sure until at least a month from now is frustrating
Writing out of sequence, so you’ve produced a ton of words but can’t share any of them because you haven’t written the scenes that lead up to them… also frustrating
unpopular opinion but the aces and falconers aren’t rivals, we just see them as having tension because our view of them is centered around the parse/jack interaction in the comic. there’s also the “typical fucking aces hockey” comment but individual players naturally have opinions about every team and teams also have reputations based on their playing style.
rivalries are almost always geographically-based or at least intra-divisional and las vegas and providence have zero connection that would make this a plausible rivalry
