The pain. It's better if you imagine it.
*sobs*
Me calculating how long Leo and the Kraang were in the Prison Dimension for my fanfiction (It took me forever to get the correct ratios and conversions of units)👇
If you don’t want my math to be in vain you can read The Crescent’s Ascent here lol ;)
oh, what a good story idea
Hey, that's an even better story idea
Wow, that would be amazing to write
*Stares at screen*
I’m not a perfectionist, but finding a typo or a grammatical error in my own already-published fic is like stepping on a Lego honestly
This is so painfully accurate it hurts
Glad to know I'm not alone
Literally me 😭🤣
“Oh my god you’re a writer? Can I read your stuff?”
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FLUFFY ONE SHOT NOT A MURDER MYSTERY
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?????!!!
Satosugu has 4,000 fanfics on ao3
Nobamaki has 500
I will rectify this transgression
I'm going to write a book and make it really good and the story amazing and everyone will love it and then I'll write the sequel where everything will be gay and I'll piss off all the straights and I will grow powerful
My little sister started reading my story with a creepy villain and she came over to me to talk about the story and went:
"I don't know how long it takes for a body to decompose, bUt-"
Character: And by the way...you look ravishing.
Me: Stay the fuck away from her you creepy ass bitch.
Me:
Me: Oh, I wrote that.
Is there anyone else that when they get hit with inspiration act dramatically for no reason?
Like I recently got a story idea, and when I did I was looking up as the thought was formulating and then when it finished, I slammed my head forward really hard. Knocking my headphones to the floor, and then giving myself a mild headache from how hard I slammed it forward.
So I just finished the NaNoWriMo story I was doing for school yesterday, and then last night I thought of another fucking story.
Long story short, I've come up with the plot, 11 characters, their names, and their pasts, and I created a playlist for my MC.
Me: Alright, time to write.
My brother: Hey, want to play a board game?
Me: Oh, I can't, I'm writing.
My brother: C'mon
Me : Well, iF yOu iNsIsT
Me letting my friend read the prologue to my story: "So, what do you think?"
My friend: "Uh...I like... the words..."
Me:
My friend: *Blushing because she knows how dumb she sounds*
“Come back here,” he whimpered threateningly.
Use "said" for dialogue unless you are writing a man talking, in which case use "whimpered"
I'm curious--how do you guys go about creating your OCs?
I’m starting to think that the annoying English teacher was right when they say everything a writer chooses to use has a meaning. Like, it might not be a big meaning, but I have not written a single sentence yet that was not intended to have some kind of effect. Some of them stand alone, some of them contribute to a whole thing, like structural motifs, but…
I don’t know, everything has meaning, I guess.
Me, in real life: I really hope I didn't say anything to offend them I mean I don't think I did but maybe when they looked away they were hurt god I hope I didn't make them feel the least particle of sadness.
Me, as a writer: Is this emotionally damaging enough? I really hope I can completely and utterly wreck this random person, make them ugly sob into their pillow, absolutely ruin their day in as little words as possible.
Me, writing fics on ao3: Yeah, I'm mostly just writing for myself! :)
Meanwhile, my external validation-needing ass:
(PS: This is a joke. I love you all and I'm very grateful to everyone who takes the time to read my silly little fics and memes. 😊 <3)
