How writers feel when they are forced to kill their favourite character so the plot can move on:

😫🤧

When a side character starts getting more interesting than the main character

Writers when they finally finish their first draft after months of hard work, blood, sweat and tears 🥹

Screaming relief 😩

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

When I write a paragraph after a week of running away from my WIP:

You WILL write your WIP

You WILL write your WIP

You WILL write your WIP

You WILL write your WIP

You WILL write your WIP

You WILL write your WIP

You WILL write your WIP

You WILL write your WIP

You WILL write your WIP

You WILL write your WIP

You WILL write your WIP

You WILL write your WIP

You WILL write your WIP

I don't even do outlines anymore, but this still happens. Planning means nothing; never has.

Writers realizing they were fantasizing the whole time and not...*gulps*... writing 😱😭

writing fanfiction is constantly flipping between "this is a hobby i do for fun its not that serious" and "if this isnt my next greatest hit im going to back flip off the empire state building"

Lmao 🤣

“what’s your writing process” i put a pathetic guy in a blender and blend blend blend

"So you're just gonna avoid writing your WIP for absolutely no reason ? What about your characters?"

Writers 😩:

You’ll rewrite it later anyway, so stop staring at the blank page like it owes you money. Just start.

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

what people think the most time-consuming part of writing is: writing

what it actually is: stopping every few sentences to fact-check, make sure a word means what you thought it meant, find synonyms, revert to the outline…

Writers planning on spending their weekend on a writing spree, brainstorming ideas, editing their manuscript and coming up with the most amazing plot for their story.

The Couch which they usually laze on:

"Am I a joke to you?" 👁️👄👁️💅

Writers when they complain to their friend of how hard the writing process is.

Their friend: Hold on, this whole operation was your idea

😩🤧

"So you're just gonna avoid writing your WIP for absolutely no reason ? What about your characters?"

Writers 😩:

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

“omg you’re so creative. how do you get your ideas” i hallucinate a single scene in the taco bell drive thru and then spend 13 months trying to write it

Writers finding out that they actually have to write their book, not just fantasize about it.

*Screaming in S.O.S 😭😭😭

WRITERS WHEN THEIR CHARACTERS DO THINGS THAT ARE OFF THE PLOT 😭😭

Suicide mission 😭🪦

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)!!!!!!!!!????????

Writers when it's time to write their New Year Resolutions knowing that finishing their WIP is taking the #1 spot 😩

ON POINT!

i've said it before and i'll say it again. writers are always told to 'show, don’t tell,' but sometimes you just have to tell. no one needs a poetic paragraph about how the sky is an emotional metaphor for your protagonist’s angst when you can just say, 'he was sad.' trust your instincts. you know when to show and when to tell.

Writers during the Festive Season 🎄😒
