#Writer pain

[lizzie-queenofmeigas]

The worst part of being a writer is when they ask you:

"¿What are you trying to teach with your story?"

I'm not trying to teach anyone anything, I'm just putting my imaginary people in fucked up situations.

Me when I post a flop fic:

Oh, the fic wasn't noticed by the fandom? See, that means it's very demure, very cutesy, okay? Be mindful that your fics don't overextend themselves, ladies. 💅

me when i open my google docs, write one paragraph and then call it a day

i j spent hours editing half of this behemoth of a ch and then continuing on to write what was probably 2500+ words to finish another chapter. my BRAIN hurts, man.

i j read this back and i don’t even think it makes sense. goddamn i need a break.

i fear i just posted the worst fic i have ever written

I’m really going to try to write today, both Whumptober and just something to put out today.

The Father Daryl one shot really has my focus but I’m not sure if I can finish it today. I’d like to though.

My mood sucks so maybe I can just drown myself in fanfic writing.

*slams back five sodas* what if I just didn’t even bother trying to make  a cohesive plot and wrote out these fics as loosely connected vignettes under the umbrellas of “same verse”? what if I gave up on plotting entirely and saved myself the headache? does it actually matter where I’m going with this???

(I mean. It matters to me. But. I haven’t finished anything in years because I get stuck at the plotting & brainstorming phase and lose interest without that sweet, sweet validation dragging me back. I dunno. I don’t know what I’m doing anymore.)

Yeaahhhhh

So many good ideas yet I can’t write them out.

Pain

fixating on my own story like “ohhhh i wish there was more content theres not enough content… someone should make some fanart or smth”

BITCH WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK IS GONNA MAKE THIS CONTENT??? GOD???????

Someone please explain to me why my laptop feels the need to configure Windows exactly when I turn it on with the intention to finish the latest LPK3 chapter? At this rate, I’ll manage some editing and then I’ll be too tired to bother with anything else.

*glares at laptop*

I mean, I could use my iPad to write, after all I am currently using it to write this Tumblr post, but I am now determined to use my laptop. Two screens are so much more effective when it comes to editing and writing.

*sigh*

Women who have awful sons, but they are also the most perfect boys in their eyes, my beloveds.

Ao3's new disclaimer is wild 😮

[winchesterszvonecek]

if you see plot holes in my books, no you don’t… i just have a bad memory and can’t remember everything i’ve written okay

Tell me it's not just me

You ever find yourself out in the world, doing life stuff. Working, waiting at the bench, sitting in the park. It's quiet. You got nothing else going on. So you pull out your laptop, your phone or notebook and start...

writing...

And like the fabric of the universe has begun to unravel at the sheer CONCEPT of you actually making progress on your WIP, the combined souls of everyone around you and everyone you know begin to

Send you waves of texts about (mostly) unnecessary things

Come up to you to ask about your day despite you having walked by them 27 TIMES MARGARET why are you like this?

Ask you something that happened three weeks ago and you don't know them, maybe?

Slide up alongside you and begin to outline their entire detailed backstory to you from birth to present... and I was told that was unrealistic for my characters to do, so why are God's out here doing it to me then hm? HM? RACHEL? RACHEL, WHERE YOU AT GIRL? I SEE YOU, PATRICIA TRYING TO SLIP AWAY YOU LITTLE—

There’s no bigger satisfaction than reading your drafts and laughing. And you’re like „damnnn, I AM funny”

And there’s no bigger shame than reading something you wrote the previous day. And you’re stuck somewhere in between „what is that even suposed to mean” and „I need to buy a gun”
