sometimes writing feels like dragging your brain across gravel. but at least the gravel is sparkly. and covered in metaphors.

whipping out my bigass binder with my first and second drafts to make notes on the job because I'll be damned if I just stare at the wall when it's slow lmaooo

sometimes writing isn’t about talent. sometimes it’s about sitting in your chair and suffering for 45 minutes until a single sentence crawls out of your skull

criminal from a sherlock holmes story: good heavens I've just committed a crime! time for a smoke

sherlock holmes: hi I am the most knowledgeable tobacco ash expert in the world you are fucked

"There's a reason it's called a ROUGH draft," I sigh, creating a keysmash with my forehead.

Hey you. Yes, you. Write the wildest idea you have. I don't care how badly you're worried people won't like it. I don't care if you think it's too experimental. Too dark. Too weird. Too lengthy or involved. Start drafting it, have fun with it, pour yourself into it and take it chapter by chapter. You'll be glad you did. Nothing's more rewarding than seeing 'that project' you've had in your head for years finally take shape.

has this been done

Hi, I noticed your story has conflict in it, and I was wondering why you didn't just write people who are right doing everything correctly with a note saying "I enthusiastically co-sign everything in this story"? Must be some kind of mistake haha

Looking at your synopsis: Oh my goodness this is incredible I really need to write this down it would make a great book!

Looking at a blank page to write on:

Where did all the words go?

“you know what? sure. why the fuck not things are already weird enough”

Writers, what would your characters’ responses be to suddenly finding themselves stuck in a musical?

Publishing is a longass process, and I'm thinking of starting a new WIP in the meantime. But even though I have a million ideas, I'm just feeling....uninspired....I'm pretty set on what book I want to write next (it matches thematically quite well with the one I'm querying rn) but...I'm afraid I'll burn out if I try to write right now ( ;´ - `;)
