How to stay focused and write your WIPs
Write sentence. Is it poorly worded? Not now. Does it sound dumb? Don't care. Is it too similar to another sentence in earlier in the work? Ignore it. Can't think of the right word? Just write another one and keep moving.
Treat your first draft like a speed-run. You can go back and edit later, but you can't edit something that doesn't exist.
Write now, details later.
I wrote a whole chapter like this once. Did I cry a little when I went back and read it again and saw how shitty it was? Yes. But at least I had something and I was on Step 2.
Just write.

Mysterious Lotus Casebook (2023) | Ep. 19
#mysterious lotus casebook#莲花楼#li lianhua#fang duobing#cheng yi#zeng shunxi#cdramaedit#mlcedit#*gifs:mine#remember when llh tells fdb “we can't always live up to the expectations of others – maybe li xiangyi never expected so much from you”#first time i saw it i was like TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE! but then i realized that for li xiangyi it wasn't simply “others”#it was “the whole world and everyone he knew including himself”*#because no one's expectations of li xiangyi were ever higher than li xiangyi's#and of course we all know that the second something went wrong most of sigu sect immediately laid the blame at his feet#but fdb is saying that no... everyone's expectations of li xiangyi were bullshit actually#the standards were simply unattainable#li lianhua told fang duobing “maybe li xiangyi never expected so much from you”#and this is fang duobing telling him “maybe li xiangyi should never have expected so much from himself”#and you can see li lianhua's entire worldview shifting just a little to the right (gifs 3+5)#and that soft smile at the end. which of course leads into “to my new friend. my best friend.” lsakjfdsldfkjasldk#it's not enough to change his mind really – it's too little and much too late to drown out a decade of self-loathing and guilt#but i wonder – if fang duobing had been able to be by his side for those ten years#telling him this again and again and again#you weren't perfect. you didn't need to be. you were young. you were trying. you were good. you were so good.#if li lianhua might have been able to heal that terrible rift inside himself#aughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh#translation notes: it made me chuckle that iqiyi's translation for gif 6 was: “they're just a bunch of selfish posers” very succinct.#also this lighting was so difficult to color ack i never really know what to do with a super green bg#*shifu as the only exception and thus shifu remains forever the best.

i dont remember where i heard this but "your comics will always be 25% worse than your standalone art" is probably the most important cartooning advice ive ever gotten
i just gotta repeat it like a mantra. comics are a lot more work than regular illustrations because of sheer quantity. they cant be perfect especially if i wanna finish em in a timely manner

the fact that yibo-official’s ip address for that post is hunan ( changsha is the capital ). means he is possibly there. he really tried but what’s important is his health. there have been so many times that he put his health second because of work commitments and i’m perfectly fine with him not attending the road shows till he is okay.
i know we are all worried but i hope we don’t overthink and make up scenarios. let him rest. it’s gonna be fine. 🫶🏼

don't you just love it when your school strictly emphasises that you can only email teachers within business hours but the fucking principal and leadership staff consistently email students well outside these hours

the thing about taking advice from anyone on tiktok or instagram including catholic and christian type influencers, parenting advice, relationship advice, etc, or internalizing any stories of horrible relationships and betrayal people tell on those platforms, or reading about all the ways interpersonal relationships can end horribly and be cycled through extremely quickly on those platforms is that you are necessarily then consuming the thoughts and experiences of someone who is willing to put their face and name on a public social media platform to talk at you. and like 1% of those people have a good reason for doing so and the other 99% are completely unhinged. so everything you’re consuming has first gone through the filter of "is this person weird and insane enough to make Instagram reels of themselves crying?" and if the answer is yes maybe their advice doesn’t apply to your life because you’re a normal person who would not do that.
#i don’t know if this makes sense but it’s something i was thinking about today#not that i really live my life according to Instagram reel advice but as a human being when i see something stated as fact i naturally seek#out the parts of it I believe or compare it to my current worldview#and when that person seems to have a lot of “clout” for discussing spiritual things….idk sometimes I’m like wait is this true? should i#believe this? and other times I’m like well is this a real pattern of behavior that can be observed in many people from different walks of#life including my own? this thing that all men do or all women do or the way all couples will eventually behave#this makes it sound like i am constantly on social media consuming hours of content which im really not#I’ll be on a train and scroll a little bit and something gets stuck in my craw#but with me I’m always like am i rationalizing this away because i don’t want it to resonate?#and I think in the case of anything on social media the answer can almost always be no#because im like wait. why would i take advice from someone who has a public Instagram account#im not saying a stopped clock isn’t right twice a day but really how much of my perspective and life experiences can they share in#when we have this totally totally mismatched worldview#(i mean this also applies to basically anyone offering any type of life advice who isn’t catholic about that)#(but when they are Catholics doing this that gives me slightly more pause for obvious reasons I’m like we are on the same team though?)#(and we are but only kind of and i do not have to listen to you because being an Instagram influencer is still cringe in 99% of cases.)

do you have any tips on concentrating on lessons? I find it hard to do and I really need to learn things so any help would be great :D
“Of course! Concentrating can be pretty hard, I have trouble with it myself. So here’s some tips to use to concentrate on things like lessons! If you find your mind wandering, try taking deep breaths and try to redirect yourself.”
“Oh! Getting a good amount of sleep is always a great way to make sure you can concentrate the next day!”
“Learning and practicing Brain Exercises that suit you and your mind is also a great way to improve your focus and other cognitive skills.”
“And of course, taking breaks when you can will always help your focus! Stop what your doing, eat something filling, drink water, and stretch your legs.”
“I hope these tips help! They may take a bit of getting used to, but if you stick to it, I know you can improve your concentration!”

i like how i always scream at friends & mutuals to go to sleep when they're up at ungodly hours and then i'm also up at ungodly hours despite having to wake up at 5:30AM for work every weekday.

Pear going off on those seniors was actually my favorite part of episode 4 and their face expressions were priceless!! Of course, Pisaeng finally telling her the truth was a close second. NOW the waiting game till next episode.

study smart not hard (altough both is best actually) this saying is so true
#my advice#but this saying is sooo true#i know some people at uni who study for exam so long and hard but then fail or just barely make it :(#like what are you doing? i don't mean this in a mean way but it doesn't have to be this difficult#i don't understand how some people can study for an exam for 2 weeks or even a month and still fail and i don't think they're stupid#or i don't see myself as particulary smart#but i guess they just waste their time a lot and i realized studying effective is so important#now everyone is a bit different and has to find what works best for them but there are certain techniques which are proven to work well#there is so much information on the internet on this look it up seriously#it made my life sm easier i never struggled in uni like i did in school and i get good grades#and if i ever struggled a bit it was because i started so late it was almost impossible to pass 😂#which is why to do both is still best 😂#but i actually always made it and i never failed an exam at uni (which i studied for)#(two i was fooled into to just try without studying bc it's easy lol)#i mean i shouldn't speak too soon but i already made it through some of the most difficult of my studies#ofc it depends on what you study how well this works but i'm speaking for myself#i once passed an exam with a B studying only 2 days as one of the best students while others studied 2 weeks#and got worse grades or failed#still studying only 2 days is stupidity don't do it 😅#so the techniques i find very helpful are ofc exam questions probably the best one#if there are none make your own#then blurting for which there are different ways but i like to just go over a topic and then write down everything i remember#then fill the gaps#quizlet is also great it's an app which allows you to create cards and then tests you in creative ways#videos can be helpful as well for summaries and using summaries in general is normally enough it saves you sm time#normally you don't actually need to know everything but you should be careful it's not a bad summary leaving out too much 😅#and i also like mindmaps bc i'm a very visual person#but all those tipps are mostly for remembering information so it doesn't work so well for other fields of study#well i hope this is somewhat helpful idk 🙈#oh and reading texts over and over again is the most useless in my opinion i don't remember much at all and it takes sm time
