I think a huge part of staying motivated learning Korean every day for a year so far has been watching Netflix shows and understanding more with each episode. First it was like fhsagvdbvhffjgfhgfh and then it was like hfhjdbfhj 고마워 hhfsfj 좋아해 dhjf 먹자 fncdsk 아니 in steadily increasing amounts

My doggy is feeling pretty sick so I'm only now getting around to my "morning" routine of screenwriting for 30mins before work - join me at the top of the hour? Depending on your time zone it might still be morning and not 3pm for you anyway 😛

from a psychological perspective the tortured artist trope is just not true. there ARE a few notable examples but we hear about them disproportionately because it sounds romantic, but by and large suffering and any kind of stress are bad for creativity and i think this is a harmful narrative.
