@pastelsinmysky nobody is good at every part of art, which is hard because sometimes the things you like and notice aren’t the things you are good at yourself. nobody criticizes picasso for not being good at photorealism you know?? but maybe picasso himself secretly wished he was better at it, we’ll never know. but if you get to know yourself better and discover your strengths you can make stuff that's good enough that it doesn't matter. or stuff that wouldn't even be possible any other way

characterization is difficult in fandom because everyone is sooooo character-focused all the time but. there are other ways of writing and other kinds of emphases a story could have. and i bet some of them you have a gift for too

idk. i think being good at writing is less actually developing skills and more just learning about who you are and how you express yourself and embracing it. and sometimes it sucks because you really wish you were different and could do these different cool things other people are doing but. changing who you are is a very slow process and you have to be kind to yourself in the meantime. and no type of person is bad
