hi i'm ash! i'm an artist and writer. art-only blog: @frostedpuffsart

a scene can start wherever you want it to

writing isn't real life. You don't need to set up a character walking into a room or two characters greeting each other and talking about the weather or what-have-you in order to lead into the conversation you actually want them to have. just start at the conversation.

hell, start in the middle of the conversation. you could even start at the end and then have one of them leave and the other one left behind to reflect back on what just happened.

writing gets easier when you open yourself up to writing the parts that are interesting, to starting where it's easy instead of where you think you should start.

if it ends up not working? that's okay. you tried it, and sometimes just getting something out of your head is a necessary first step to getting the words right

your move, Nickelodeon.

It’s even funnier when you realize Dan Povenmire, co-creator of Phineas and Ferb, used to write for SpongeBob in season 3.

Ok I’m going to be extremely neurodivergent for a moment. Dan didn’t just write any old episodes, he wrote some of the MOST iconic episodes of SpongeBob.

He did the Nosferatu episode. The Alaskan bill work. The fry cook games. And even though he wasn’t a WRITER for the camping episode, he did write the campfire song song.

In conclusion Phineas and Ferb was out there being iconic before it even came into existence.

if you've never engaged with a creative art on a regular basis you need to understand that it requires concerted effort to get into "the groove" to make something and every second that it takes to get into that groove causes physical pain, but the only thing worse than doing it is not doing it.

You should write the most niche, indulgent fiction that appeals to you specifically, because it will be much more artistically authentic and valuable than corporate slop that has been focus tested to death to appeal to the widest audience possible.

Write for yourself and you will always be making authentic art that has an uncompromised vision, and you will gain an audience that appreciates that.
