Spiritual Assist

Before you embark in any endeavor, you must first ensure your mind is put together. For a healthy mind and soul is the key to stay focused and be where you want to be in the future. This is the first article for the Spiritual Assist page and unlike all the other services of Manic Maiden, these articles will be in diary format. What I mean by this is it's going to be unfiltered, it's going to be personal, and it's going to have entries that feel as if you wrote them yourself.

 I will be going deep on why you need your mind, body, and soul to not only aid your writing but to connect to your readers too. Writing takes emotion. It takes pain, it takes heartbreak. You cannot start your artistic journey believing it's going to be smooth sailing.

Your journey is going to be hard. It's going to be trifling. It's going to be draining.

You will meet roadblocks, you will miss opportunities, and you will even question your abilities. You will cry, you will scream, you may even break a few things. You will sit in your room some days and stare at the ceiling contemplating your life choices. You will go through imposter syndrome. You will seek quick validation only to find yourself right back to square one. You may even give up writing altogether because of facing so many setbacks on your journey.

Does this sound scary? Does it sound negative? Good.

Life is scary and it's harsh. That's the reality. I'm not here to sugarcoat and lie. My aim is to prepare you mentally and spiritually to harden your skin and maintain your faith as you go through the challenges of being an artist, especially a new or aspiring artist. Whether or not you're doing acting, painting, comics, novel writing, poetry, screenplaying, or even writing applications for a random company you found on Indeed because you need some money: This is for you. 

This will be a very informal blog. I'm not going to pull up random statistics, nor am I going to attempt to pacify you with empty words of wisdom from a random wellness guide instructor that I (and you) won't care about. This will all be from the heart and from personal experience. There's no point in being accurate and formal when you need something in dire times.
