“Start writing”

Hah, no.

“Why not?”

I will, absolutely will against my will, revise and edit as I write, so I write the total of multiple chapters but it ends up being only one and half chapters. I fucking hate it

Writing

Is really difficult. Give yourself a break every once in a while. I’ve been on break from starting writing my main wip for over a year, and I still procrastinate the hell out of it. Writing takes time. Let it happen on its own

This explains a lot about my lack of asking for help when I clearly need it

It would be wayyyyyy too awkward to explain that yes, I wrote two gay men that go through extreme trauma together, but no, they aren’t official until the last third or so of the story (and all the little lore bits that I have to tell otherwise it would make sense).

reblog if you're a writer but would rather drink straight cyanide than show any of your family members your work

An Average Night

Me, casually trying to sleep:

My brain: Heyyyyyyyyy

Me: Shut. The fuck. Up

Brain: Is the way [character] acts after [relevant plot point] considered [mental disorder/trauma response]?

Me: *Grabbing phone off desk to Google it* I hate you

My story’s antagonist: I’m not just a bitch…

I’m a bitch with a backstory

… dammit.

reblog if you’re a writer who feels guilt whenever they’re not writing and being productive, so I know I’m not the only one lol

Me: *Furiously Googling about who knows what*

Also me: You write fantasy, you know that, right?

Me:

Me talking to myself

yes, I talk to myself in the second person. I will also use the fourth person collective on occasion.

“Why can’t I write what I want to today?”

maybe because what you want to write is a cohesive story and you would mostly be staring at that damn taunting, blinking line of a cursor on the Google Doc

“I want to write chronologically!” too bad, you’re thinking of a random scene that’s over halfway through the story. I don’t make the rules

“Why can’t I write the main plot?”

because I said so. Now go back to writing about what happened hundreds of years before the main plot to explain the tension between the two sides

“What’s this character’s name again?”

Think of a new one. You know what it is, and it causes the Tiffany Problem. Think of a new one, you fucking idiot

it’s even worse if they have similar characteristics, like same hair color or smth similar.

I write a lot sibling scenes, it’s painful

„The hardest thing to write is heartbreak/the end/ect.“

Nah man, the hardest thing to write is a long scene about two people with same gender, without overusing their name. That is hardcore.

do you ever think of something when you’re trying to sleep and tell yourself “I can write it down in the morning”?

I have, and every time I do im just lying to myself again

I’m not crying, there’s onions

I am crying

no, i just hate writing sometimes
