ah yes i worked for 2.5 seconds i think a break is in order
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
people need to stop treating fictional characters like they're real people
it's so annoying
"simping over this character is objectifying them!!!" THEYRE LITERALLY OBJECTS. THEY DONT EXSIT. THEY CANT BE OFFENDED, MADE UNCOMFORTABLE, ETC, BECAUSE THEY DONT EXIST.
I wish all my writers a happy new year. May all your stories finally be written, sentences be completed, emotions be evoked with beautifully crafted words, readers be moved to tears, the urge to create be satisfied.
HOW DO PEOPLE WRITE CONSISTENTLY. HOW. I SPENT 3 HOURS STARING AT A SINGLE SENTENCE YESTERDAY. meanwhile someone out there has written a trilogy this year and i am one (1) typo away from fighting god. send help.
Sometimes writing is setting your fingers on fire trying to keep up with what your brain is creating.
...Then sometimes it's banging your head against the keyboard and hoping the result is better than what's on the page.
“you look tired are you okay?”
no i’m not i spent all night writing about depressed gay people thanks for asking tho
people who say 'just write for yourself' (me) have never met the absolute demon that lives in my head (also me) and judges every single word i put on the page. i am writing for myself, and let me tell you, the audience of me is a tough critic. she’s like, 'this sentence is fine but not groundbreaking,' and 'are you really gonna use the word 'suddenly' again? pathetic.' like ma’am, i’m trying my best.
"Oh my God why would they do that????" I say as I write someone doing something bad with my own ten fingers
