#being a writer

I make memes for inspiration...actually no that's a lie...I make them to avoid writing.

A writers curse is when you become emotionally attached to the characters you planned to kill off

Being a writer is searching up the meaning of words you only know through context to make sure you can use it.

When you badly want to write that one scene now but you're still in this one boring scene that has to happen in order for that one scene to make sense

“Writing isn’t about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. In the end, it’s about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. It’s about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Getting happy.”

Stephen King

commonplace book & my scrap notebook — the pair I go everywhere with

[27paperlilies]

Tethered I'm connected to the ocean, salt and all its splendeur, swimming in foamy waves for long and lonesome days. I'm stuck to metal pipes, they peirce my supple flesh landing deep, gifted me with trickled agony. This hollow line, rarely it will overflow, but when it does the seasgulls seem to always know. Face stuffed full of dizzy cotten, water seeping in, making it burn a horrid rotten thing. Then the tides recede back to whence they came, but I am still connected to that ruthless waters bane.

Having to convince yourself to write when you already have a desperate desire to write is such a strange experience

Here I am with several fic ideas outlined, some of which I’ve even drafted, yet I’m having an anxiety attack at the thought of actually returning to them to edit

It’s like I’m hitting some kind of creative wall, and my anxieties refuse to let me go around it

How am I supposed to write if I can’t even convince myself to do the very thing I want to do???

I'm guilty of this...and I'm so sorry

K.M. Weiland:

For many of us, writing is one of the most important things in our lives. And yet, it can be all too easy to let that “most important thing” end up at the bottom of our to-do list. If yet another day has passed in which you haven’t been able to write—or a day in which you did write but getting it done was a struggle—you’re not alone. Time management for writers is possibly one of the key skills of the lifestyle. This is true whether you write full-time or write around your full-time responsibilities.
