About Me

Hi, I'm Material Defender, and I write things. I sometimes also like to help other people write things, and I write lots of things so I can get better at writing more things. Practice makes perfect and all that. If you have a question about the stuff I write or writing stuff in general, feel free to send a message my way.

Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me.

All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit.

Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this.

And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.

So here's the dealio: depression isn't fun. When I first heard of a person who had it, I laughed and thought he was being a bit of a ninny. As it turns out, it's something else entirely, and when your life so far has been a veritable trainwreck of bad decisions made by inexperience and apathy, you realize the hooks were already in deep before you truly began to realize what the nature of this affliction is. Change comes slowly, and unfortunately as you try to pick away at your pile of problems,

I miss him too. Very much. The rerelease of C&C 1 just reminded me of him. :(

Stay safe bro. I hope things have cleared up with you and i REALLY hope you just took a long break from the fandom or just forgot about this account or something.

We all still care. /)

Is your name a Descent reference?
