I see a lot of people who tell young people–especially young people who are heading into college–that they should “do what they love.” And they’re right. You should do what you love.

But there’s a world of difference between doing what you love for you, and doing what you love for a paycheck. 

I went to undergrad for graphic design and 3-D design–art and more art, I usually say–and I loved it. You know what I didn’t love? Trying to collect my fees from clients. Trying to meet unrealistic, over-simplified or over-specific briefs from people who didn’t know what they were talking about. Coming home, having worked creatively all day, with no creative juice left for the things I wanted to do.

You know what I would tell you instead? Do something that you can be interested in, with people you like.

You don’t have to love it. Loving your work can be a lot, and it often means you have to live in your job 24/7. Some people can do that. Not everyone can, or should.  But if you can find work that’s interesting enough that it doesn’t feel tedious, and people you can enjoy spending your 9-5 with, and you can make money, that’s great! It means you can do the things you love for you.

I’m in law school now. It’s interesting work, and difficult, and I like doing it. I like how complicated it gets, and I like the stories it tells. But I don’t come home and read law journals for fun. I come home, and I sculpt, and I draw, and I paint, and I read. I do these things for me.

And I love it. 

Yeah I love drawing heads, fight me. *run*

I intended to draw their faces with personal ideas(mostly inspired by cannon), and I HOPE I could keep them in mind. They’re originally drew on my notebook before (bad student, again), and colored later on the computer. Maybe I’ll draw other characters later. 

Some notes: Ivan LOOKS LIKE a man from rural areas, I describe him as simple rather than charming. He resembles Ukraine. Bela is literally beautiful, and has a firm look. Liet doesn’t impress others much but he looks pleasing to the eye because of the easy-going presence. Feliks’s beauty is unique, having blurring cat eyes and soft frame. Edward, standard handsome young man, having potential of being more attractive when he grows older. Ravis has upturned big eyes, little round nose, and you don’t know what’s actually going in his mind. He’s more relate to Liet (the two and the only actual Baltic) so I pick a darker hair color…

(bonus: Well I think of Ivan whenever I see Plushenko, and I actually refer to him a little. facepalm. )

Do you ever read a really weird fanfiction and you feel like you just need to

Just a friendly reminder that writing is not always a linear process.

That is, it rarely works out that you have an idea, then do a first draft, then edit that draft, then celebrate. The writing process itself is often an act of discovery, and can be messy and “inefficient.”

You may write your first draft and realize it has major holes, causing you to need to return to your outline, correct the issue, and re-approach your draft.

You may discover that the character you thought was your main character is not your main character. It’s actually her sister, and now you need to rewrite your story.

You may change your point of view character several times before landing on the right one.

You may write 9 drafts of your story only to realize the fundamental concept is flawed, bringing you back to the drawing board.

You might throw away hundreds of pages.

If you’re writing a novel, you might outline, then draft, then re-outline, then re-draft several times before you even get a solid handle on where you’re going with your story.

You might write four different endings before you decide which one works best for your story.

You might remove characters, combine characters, add characters.

…all of this is normal. If this is happening to you, you’re not doing anything wrong. You’re a writer, and this is what writing is like sometimes. Sure, some writers seem to be able (or claim to be able) to write more quickly and efficiently. But there’s no sense in comparing yourself to them, and most of them are lying anyway. Instead of criticizing yourself, try to become curious about and embrace your process. There’s something awesome about how mysterious and unpredictable writing can be!
