You Really Put Your Whole Pussy In That - Tumblr Posts

The stigma of self-inserts is so harmful to the creative process. Relax. Admit it. Everything you make is derivative of yourself, always, no exceptions. You can turn the mirror into tinier and tinier shards or you can make it as big as you want to reflect as much as you want. At the end of the day it's always going to show you inside of it. Pretending otherwise is stupid.

you can literally write whatever you want!!!
and you can also /read/ whatever you want!!!
not everything is for you and that's okay!
it's very true that as a writer you often put yourself right there in your work
regardless of whether you are aware of it
I've said it before
but I read all my work out loud to my partner
and he quite lovingly has this particular saying he uses when he notices the parts of me in a piece
“you really put your whole pussy in that”
and he's right
and that's fine lmao
