Do you think there's a way to actually correctly write an in denial, trans woman, who pretends to be okay with 'being a guy'? Like, I wrote an in the closet trans woman before, who knows who she was and hid it from the world (outside transphobia) before, but wondering if you think the issue of hiding it from yourself (internal transphobia/denial) can be done in a non-harmful way?

I'm trans (ftm) myself and talked myself out of it for a long time, so I assume it could be the same on the other side?

I'm just wondering if you can foresee any pitfalls one might fall into that would be transphobic or fetishize trans women?

I write trans women in my fic bc I want to write something in contrast to all of the g!p that claims rep, and put something better into the fandom. (I think I did a good job, thanks to your help before. Thank you so much).

Do I think it's a feasible concept? Sure, yeah, it's doable. I'd trust trans woman authors to do that, since it'd need to draw on transmisogyny and experiences of transfemininity pretty deeply. Like, even with those who only realized and came out later in their lives, there's pretty much always things they noticed retroactively that were particularly telling and explained/illuminated sources of discomfort and disparity that they'd generalized and made efforts to ignore/move past. And for those who know they're trans but are fighting that truth, and/or are just deep in the closet and struggling with not knowing when or if it'll be safe to be themselves (and therefore need to fight to present as a boy/man), that's a complicated experience. Having to combine that with writing the social environment that fostered their situation and how they processed that messaging and reacted to that messaging, how they succeeded and failed to reproduce various elements of that gender performance...it's tough to navigate those seas and not end up taking on water even if you are familiar with the experiences.

A story that placed any real focus on that would need to be an authentic read if it was to have any merit, so yeah, that's a narrative arc I'd think trans women would need to tell because others would probably get it wrong. Not out of ill intent, necessarily, but I think there's too many knowledge gaps for others to traverse, and a more general take on the experience likely wouldn't sufficiently engage with the experiences, leading to a shallower arc as a whole, and that's not really what you're looking for in the kind of story that would focus on this, since you're most likely within the realm of the 'character study' sort of material than anything else, and running shallow in that respect sort of defeats the purpose.

So yeah, I think the best outcome would be a trans woman author handling that subject material. Could someone else manage it? Possibly, with enough commitment to sensitivity writers/editors and a willingness to walk back on and rewrite whole swaths of the resulting work if it's not hitting the mark authentically.

How to avoid character inconsistency in your writing

Set your character boundaries:

What's the background?

What's your character's backstory?

What are their traits, and how do they portray them?

Know what keeps your characters motivated. (Are they reaching their goal?)

You can avoid quick shifting of scenes. Let your readers absorb the setting of the scene.

Ensure that their actions and decisions align with their development and growth.

Tip 1: Start your chapter with a scene or dialogue that comes back at the end, which helps maintain consistency.

Tip 2: Throughout the chapter avoid the fast pacing of the story, rather let the characters express themselves so that it's clear for the readers.

Consider how your characters react to situations that are hard to convey. (Do they feel nervous? Scared? Fearless?)

Dialogue writing is crucial in explaining your character's personality while writing a story.

This process requires lots of re-reading and writing, fixing character holes and rewriting character arcs.

I want a story where the angels didn't fall, they jumped. they clipped their own wings, knowing their Master wouldn't have a use or a need for them once they were damaged and less-than-holy. they could not defeat the Tyrant who exerted absolute control over their lives, so they abandoned heaven their homeland in exchange for independence, accepting exile as its own form of freedom. and hell is just the place where all unwanted things are sent--be they angels or souls who just will not obey.

#been looking through old story ideas and remembering that as a teenager #i processed religious trauma by turning it into blasphemous creative writing #there's also the story where the protagonist was a vampire and a friend of jesus's mom #and so was personally responsible for the resurrection of christ #and the one where satan was the mother figure of all the angels in heaven #and the 'Rebellion' was actually satan leaving her abusive spouse to protect her kids #anyways i have many feelings about being raised christian and all of those feelings are Spite

here's the thing about playing around with generative "ai" aka applied statistics based on stolen data: even if it's just for teehee haha laughs and funtime for you, even if you're not using it to replace real talent in a professional setting, it's a tacit endorsement of these shady as fuck, unethical training models and companies that will happily use your teehee haha generated memes to sell their tech to others who will then happily replace real creative people with technology that seeks to undermine them and then have to rehire those people at half the pay and with none of the credit to fix the absolute sludge they're generating in place of a proper job. and that's the optimistic outcome because the alternative is they say "good enough" about this meaningless, lowest-common-denominator sludge and send it out to consumers as is.

even if you're just the consumer in this system and not one of the creatives getting undercut, why in the world would you want to read or watch or interact with something that no one could even be bothered to make themselves? why in the world would you want to encourage that future?

#we need regulation asap #but also like.....we just need a cultural shift that actually appreciates all the art that the public has been happily consuming for years #as well as appreciating the artists responsible for it #let's have some goddamn solidarity across creative disciplines #fuck ai #shouting into the void #rant #ai #ai generated #chatgpt #stable diffusion

Madeleine L'Engle on self and art: "When we are self-conscious, we cannot be wholly aware; we must throw ourselves out first. This throwing ourselves away is the act of creativity. So, when we wholly concentrate, like a child in play, or an artist at work, then we share in the act of creating. We not only escape time, we also escape our self-conscious selves"

#this is re: nearly everyone in my creative writing class saying that art is all about self-expression #my response (aside from vague irritation) is: naw

How To Write Your First Chapter With Success (In Detail)

There are several components to keep in mind when it comes to writing your first chapter. It is challenging and involves numerous drafts, editing and re-writing.

When you begin a chapter, don't info-dump in the beginning; would you prefer to start your story in the boring old way where your character wakes up in the morning with a yawn and smile on their face?

(Instead)

Start the story with a hook, it is intriguing and makes the reader want to read more. Hooks give your story uniqueness and make it interesting.

Start your story in the middle of the night, in an eerie/ vivid setting

Start your story with a philosophical question that would hook the readers from the beginning. Have them think and wonder the question 'why?'

Start it with a punch line

Start the story with some action and good dialogue

2. Don't leave the introduction of your character for chapter 10

(Instead)

Introduce your character early into the chapters but make their introduction stand out. Add essence to it.

Identify how you'd like to voice your characters

keep your main character special yet human (flawed)

Give them specific quirks and personality

3. Don't set a forced setting because of trends. Don't rely on dialogues for setting the tone.

(Instead)

Your setting should reflect your story. Set the tone you want. Is your chapter conveying a depressed scene, an action scene, a romantic scene etc?

If you all have any questions or would like to ask then feel free to send your queries! I

I wish you the best on your journey to writing.
