"So you're just gonna avoid writing your WIP for absolutely no reason ? What about your characters?"
Writers 😩:
Writers when they finally finish their first draft after months of hard work, blood, sweat and tears 🥹
Screaming relief 😩
Writers finding out that they actually have to write their book, not just fantasize about it.
*Screaming in S.O.S 😭😭😭
Yeah I understand that sometimes our characters can have a mind of their own but sometimes you just gotta rein in control. I definitely can't imagine reading a ten-page argument about cheese. It's highly unnecessary. If they terribly need to banter about cheese, make it short for the sake of your readers and get. back. into. the. plot.🙂.
I AM TRYING TO WRITE A SIMPLE SCENE BUT APPARENTLY EVERY CHARACTER HAS DECIDED TO BECOME AN EXPERT IN BANTER AND DERAIL THE PLOT. HOW DID THIS TURN INTO A 10-PAGE ARGUMENT ABOUT CHEESE?? WHO IS IN CHARGE HERE (IT’S NOT ME)!!!!!!!!!????????
I don't even do outlines anymore, but this still happens. Planning means nothing; never has.
Yeahhh, c'mon 😂🔥🔥
don’t accept criticism that your characters aren’t ‘strong enough’ from anyone who wouldn’t be able to beat them in a fistfight
Bam!!!!
“Here's how to write a mystery novel: at the beginning you tell a lie, and by the end you tell the truth.” — Gregory McDonald
You’ll rewrite it later anyway, so stop staring at the blank page like it owes you money. Just start.
Good Lord 😭😭😭
*Scrolling on my phone and seeing a writing meme*
"Oh wow this is so funny!" I say as my story collects dust in the background

Writing is just staring at a blank page until your anxiety overpowers your procrastination.
