My Fave & Least Favorite Things About Being A Writer

My fave & least favorite things about being a writer

Yay I'm a writer:

perceiving books differently than non writers

finishing a piece

designing characters

choosing chapter titles

finally figuring out how to fix a plot hole

when writing just becomes so smooth and rolls from your brain like an old film strip

writing romantic scenes of my fave ship

sharing my writing with people

those random top tier ideas you have to jot down before they go away in 10 seconds

thinking about people loving your story in the future

developing villains

making playlists & moodboards for my wips

writing desperation (for some reason ??)

Please never again:

describe the setting correctly

coming up with a cover

the first draft.

"so which ending would make the most sense'

share my writing with people

killing my fave character (i do it anyways)

trying to remember a word i cant even describe

make the side character parents well rounded

that one super cool idea you get 3/4 way through the story that doesn't actually fit anywhere

actually having to fix plot holes

writing.

It's not an "abandoned" WIP, I didn't intentionally leave it in the forest to die and forget about it, it is a lost wip who wandered into the forest despite my pleas not to. I sit at the edge of the forest every day and hear it calling for help but there is nothing I can do. It is a haunting wip

This is a bit personal, and idk if it even matters but for the coming weeks i'll be very inactive, as im now recovering from a major surgery. That's also why my recent posts were just mood boards, and i dont plan on making anything new.

Writing, at its core, is about stepping into someone else’s shoes. It’s not just about creating characters who are like you, it’s about understanding characters who are nothing like you. Writing forces you to ask, “Why does this person act this way?” “What are they afraid of?” “What do they want?” You have to feel what your characters are feeling, even if you don’t agree with them. That’s how you create characters who are complex, layered, and real.
