NEXT SEGMENT OF JILLY'S BRAIN: WRITING A BOOK GIVES ME IMPOSTER SYNDROME.

Am i spamming my account on my first day? Yes. Why? Because im a yapper with adhd and i have thoughts to share and no one to care. Anyways heres the next segment of jilly's brain: writing a book gives me imposter syndrome. plz tell me why I have written around 200 pages into a novel of my own creation—world / languages / history and ALL—and my sorry a*s feels like a liar. like I didn't just make up this entire tale. im in the middle of writing a scene and fully thinking to myself "no this isn't what real authors would do" like okay I'm sorry for existing, brain???????????? my apologies for not being CHARLES DICKENS??? anyways I'm bamboozling myself and i dont even realise it

200 pages is fuckin amazing!!!!! and you write about actual, deep, interesting subjects!!! as a pure word consumer who cannot string together even a paragraph, I'm always so in awe of people who have the beautiful gift of translating the ideas and images in their brain onto paper in a comprehendible way. that's art, and you're an artist.

supervixen i’ll smooch you under a willow tree and the gentle breeze and its emerald leaves will be the only witness of my gratitude to you—but it will carry it through generations to come and will not be forgotten, so long as the tree still stands and the wind still blows. tldr: THANK YOU I APPRECIATE YOU xoxox i hope your sleep is immaculate tonight

THINKING LONG AND HARD BEFORE GOING IN HEAD FIRST

2am thoughts so don’t mind me but as u can see i’ve been ruminating on reading and writing a lot as of late. i’m happy trying to make a name for myself as a visual artist but i’ve always joked in another life i was a novelist or poet… i’ve still been posting on my poetry substack now and that took the edge off but i realize i need more. i cringed at my old wattpad earlier in the week. i looked over my google docs of a story i wanted to write in college then abandoned bc i lost hope and steam. i'm not getting any younger so i'm just gonna commit. i have two little fiction things that i've been toying around with for years that i’ve decided i'm going to take more seriously. who knows if ill do anything with them…i used to put too much pressure on myself when it came to fictional endeavors anyway. i just need an outlet. my brain and heart might just burst.

Writing a story

My brain: I should probably finish tat visual novel tonight! Also my brain: NO. Write a story about a guy in a band you like instead, but it's totally not that guy and it's actually someone else and you know what you're in it too kinda

YOUR BRAIN IS MEANT FOR MAKING IDEAS NOT STORING THEM!

read this somewhere a few months back and it’s stuck with me. i have a horrible memory, so now i’ve started writing everything down. my own little commonplace book for my thoughts and other people’s thoughts. my own little second brain (check out tiago forte 🙏🙏) WRITE THINGS DOWN!! you’ll thank yourself when you’re feeling uninspired, because chances are your brain had an idea a week ago, a month ago, even a year ago, that can fix that.
