working on my novel has got me watching glass blowing videos. this stuff is so cool. i'm looking up the history of it rn...

[thewordsarestuckinmyhead]

what do you mean when i'm moving around scenes it's effecting the entire plot what do you meannnnn

[thewordsarestuckinmyhead]

turns out what i thought was the midpoint of my novel was actually at the 58% mark...

[thewordsarestuckinmyhead]

turned my whole manuscript into comic sans for edits. it's such a different experience now.

[thewordsarestuckinmyhead]

how i look when a reader says i did something in my novel and i pull the 'what if i said it was intentional?' card.

[thewordsarestuckinmyhead]

it is so daunting starting edits on a complete manuscript. where do i even begin?

[thewordsarestuckinmyhead]

one of my readers called the main character of my novel insufferable. i feel like a protective mother the way im like 'no, don't listen to them, you're wonderful.'

[thewordsarestuckinmyhead]

it’s both satisfying and anxiety inducing every time i send a piece of writing out. like i’m so happy i wrote this but…i wrote this, and someone’s gonna read it…

[thewordsarestuckinmyhead]

half of my writing time is spent hovering my hands over a keyboard while i watch the scene i’m trying to write in my head over and over again

[thewordsarestuckinmyhead]

very real unedited picture of me when i finally get into the god state of writing

[thewordsarestuckinmyhead]

my brain: you know what's going to help you write?

me: maybe sitting down and writing?

my brain: no silly! buy a whiteboard!

me: wha--

my brain: BUY A WHITEBOARD!

[thewordsarestuckinmyhead]

how i feel making silly little writing posts instead of being productive.

[thewordsarestuckinmyhead]

how i feel trying to write purposeful comedy.

[thewordsarestuckinmyhead]

oh don't mind me. i'm just pacing around my room reading my scenes out loud to judge their worthiness.

[thewordsarestuckinmyhead]

just remembered that someday my novel will be published and i won't be able to play with the story anymore.

[thewordsarestuckinmyhead]

when the scene was great in your head but now you see it on the page…

[thewordsarestuckinmyhead]

i'm glad this spread to other like-minded people outside of writing
