Writing Memes - Blog Posts
well this is what's happening if anyone wonders what happens if my fanfics are updated slowly
cause like this is SOOOOOOO TRUE I HAVE THE MSSIVE PROBLEM FOR MY STORIES FIGURED OUT I JUST HAVE TO WRITE RANDOM WORDS
It connects, okay!
My average writing experience:
"Alright I think I'm almost done actually-"
*Google doc grows second health bar and a choir starts singing in latin*
sometimes the best writing advice is "just let it be bad." revolutionary. terrifying. but it works.
But you ultimately leave it. The writing/depression God's hath spoken!
Posting memes from my current W.I.P out of context
the holy grail types of fanfic
Me because my wally drabble now has 2000 words and I’m thinking about splitting it into 2 parts bc no ones gonna spend a full hour reading that shit
My average writing experience:
"Alright I think I'm almost done actually-"
*Google doc grows second health bar and a choir starts singing in latin*
Felt this in my core
if it's good enough for you, then it deserves to be made. don't let anyone else decide if your story is worth it or not.
Ignore any spelling errors. Just a little meme I made while procrastinating writing (still haven't finished the fic I made while writing this)
*spends an hour researching calendar dates, doing weird math, and revising a huge part of my story*
Me: Wait, what was I doing?
Me: Oh, yeah!
*Googles where commas go in dates*
Everyone. Please. Write "fuck." "Damn." "Shit." "Motherfucker." Don't fucking censor. Don't write f*** when you mean fuck. Let's not encourage censorship. Let's recognize when we are participating in censorship and self-censorship. You don't have to censor your words on tumblr. You don't have to censor your stories on AO3. Please. Please. Write out the word "fuck."
If you personally don't like the word? Then there's no need to write it. If you are writing a story and you know the character curses and you don't feel comfortable writing it? Write "Character cursed." No reason to disrupt the writing, infantalize the writing, and create an ugly piece of work by writing "Character said, 'F***!'"
We can all handle the word "fuck." Please, please, just write out "fuck." I don't know what you're trying to get out of "f***" but I promise, it's not going to have the effect you want. If you really hate the word "fuck," feel free to be creative and insert another fun word. Anything but "f***."
"is this too cliche?" who cares? bro, write what you have fun writing. stuff your manuscript full of your favourite tropes. the same themes you love. all inspired by things you grew up with. do it all. go off. load. it. up. be freeeee
It's frustrating that you can come up with the plot of an entire fic in just a few seconds, but writing it all down can take anywhere from never to forever.
Sad truth
the great thing about being a fanfic writer: if there's a certain fanfic plot you can't find, you can make it yourself.
the terrible thing about being a fanfic writer: now you *have* to write that fanfic plot you can't find.
It be like that sometimes
