remember: a blank page is a world of possibilities—and a finished page is one step closer to finishing that other project you said you’d come back to later.
Writing is just staring at a blank page until your anxiety overpowers your procrastination.
writing fanfiction is constantly flipping between "this is a hobby i do for fun its not that serious" and "if this isnt my next greatest hit im going to back flip off the empire state building"
ON POINT!
i've said it before and i'll say it again. writers are always told to 'show, don’t tell,' but sometimes you just have to tell. no one needs a poetic paragraph about how the sky is an emotional metaphor for your protagonist’s angst when you can just say, 'he was sad.' trust your instincts. you know when to show and when to tell.

Writers realizing they were fantasizing the whole time and not...*gulps*... writing 😱😭
Writers when they finally finish their first draft after months of hard work, blood, sweat and tears 🥹
Screaming relief 😩
Writers when they complain to their friend of how hard the writing process is.
Their friend: Hold on, this whole operation was your idea
😩🤧
Yeah I understand that sometimes our characters can have a mind of their own but sometimes you just gotta rein in control. I definitely can't imagine reading a ten-page argument about cheese. It's highly unnecessary. If they terribly need to banter about cheese, make it short for the sake of your readers and get. back. into. the. plot.🙂.
I AM TRYING TO WRITE A SIMPLE SCENE BUT APPARENTLY EVERY CHARACTER HAS DECIDED TO BECOME AN EXPERT IN BANTER AND DERAIL THE PLOT. HOW DID THIS TURN INTO A 10-PAGE ARGUMENT ABOUT CHEESE?? WHO IS IN CHARGE HERE (IT’S NOT ME)!!!!!!!!!????????
Lmao 🤣
“what’s your writing process” i put a pathetic guy in a blender and blend blend blend
