  • Plug for something like Obsidian here. I recently started a new novel and the ability to divide everything into folders and sections that I can link to within my writing has been invaluable.

    If it’s been a while since I referenced a place or event or character, I can write their name and link out to their dedicated page full of info and reference material on them. If I have something I think of on the fly that I want to remember, I can create a new reference page and link to it, or add it to an existing page whenever I need to .

    The organization is a game changer. I write chapter by chapter, sometimes bouncing around in the timeline, and stitch everything together as I finalize a section.




  • Hey girl, I just came from your other posts - specifically the one where you posted a full pic of yourself. Looking at the pic and the one you used for your PFP, I think you’re beautiful and wouldn’t even question your assigned-at-birth sex or gender identity for an instant if I passed you on the street or saw you in a restaurant.

    Are you a Playboy model? Of course not, but no one is and isn’t a slave to fashion and capitalism and unrealistic beauty standards. I think you’re an amazing woman whose body has settled into its true gender beautifully.

    Unfortunately, your comments and posts suggest body image issues that transcend your gender identity. Plenty of cis people also experience negative body image and wish to change themselves to fit what they think is beautiful. If you are happy with your gender identity and aren’t experiencing gender-related dysphoria, but rather just feel ugly about your body, I don’t think coming off hormones will help with that. Therapy is my answer here, but I don’t think your transition is solely to blame for these feelings.

    Love you, you got this. Give yourself the slack you deserve (which is a lot, you beautiful thing).
