i read several chapters and watched a full review of most of the book its beyond cringe, like i genuinely think she MAY have written it at twelve and never changed anything. its the world's prettiest package for something that wouldn't count as a draft
Girl wants to be a creative director, not a writer, I stg. And that is fine. Just...go do that and don't put the prose writing burden on yourself if you don't like it?
I also want to be a creative director, so I did a whole bunch of work...and maybe it's my age showing but, doing the work is not skippable. Audra wants to skip over a lot of shit.
true! but i think part of the reason she is skipping it is a lack of understanding that she's skipping something? not an excuse, just a reason like she doesn't understand that's what she wants. she fixated on the idea of being a writer instead of interrogating why
That last bit is really at core I think 💯
Writer is a vehicle to something else for her. And not in the usual way of "I want to have written, but don't love writing." The story seems to be secondary to a lot of things. If not, even tertiary.
Yeah, 10000%. And I don't think she understands that about herself, at all. I hope she figures it out so she can put her copious amount of energy and drive towards what she truly wants. Creative director, film/tv director, creative project manager, etc. maybe even for games. Just...introspect, gal!
Ohhh now I get it
this is a really quality take
