the urge to write is like a cat meowing for dear life for someone to open the goddamn door, who then shows utter disinterest in said open door

Benefits of being a writer:
✓ Story goes how YOU want, nearly 21% of the time
✓ can buy a new book for 'work'
✓ excuse for all those blank notebooks you have
✓ search history doesn't send up any red flags
Downsides:
X You have to actually write a book

There are two types of writers:
1. 'It's fiction, it doesn't need to make sense!'
2. 'I didn't account for the rotation of the planet and how that affects the constalations while my characters stargazed at different times of year, I have failed as a writer, and this entire thing is trash'

I saw an Instagram post that asked if you had a baby how much would you trust the main character of your current wip to take care of them. I would like to get writeblrs ideas about this.

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"
"Every writer"?
come on

The thing nobody tells you is that you can just write down that one scene you've been replaying in your head with no connections to anything. You don't have to wait until the plot get there or until you come up with the rest of the story around it that makes that scene makes sense. You can just write that one scene.
you are so right

Sometimes I over stress about writing things that make sense, and then I watch movies like James and the giant peach and like. Anything can happen

writing tip #3797:
not everyone will "get" your novel, and that's fine. you need to focus on the true enemy: readers who finish your book and immediately search "(novel) ending explained"

It's such an amazing feeling when someone picks up on something in your writing that you 100% intended but didn't think people would notice. Like, YES!! My writing properly conveyed the thing it was supposed to!!! You are so awesome for noticing that!!! I am so awesome for writing that!!! I feel so good about my story now!!!!

Everyone keeps talking about "the writer's barely disguised fetish". But I still haven't heard about "the writer's barely disguised huge ass pet peeve"
