if you hate your draft, just pretend it’s a collaboration with past you.
Writers finding out that they actually have to write their book, not just fantasize about it.
*Screaming in S.O.S 😭😭😭
“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
Lmao 🤣
“what’s your writing process” i put a pathetic guy in a blender and blend blend blend
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)!!!!!!!!!????????
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…
Reblog if you're a writer who re-reads their own work for funsies.
When I write a paragraph after a week of running away from my WIP:
"So you're just gonna avoid writing your WIP for absolutely no reason ? What about your characters?"
