"So you're just gonna avoid writing your WIP for absolutely no reason ? What about your characters?"
Writers 😩:
🌬️
How writers feel when they are forced to kill their favourite character so the plot can move on:
😫🤧
I don't even do outlines anymore, but this still happens. Planning means nothing; never has.
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)!!!!!!!!!????????
Yeahhh, c'mon 😂🔥🔥
don’t accept criticism that your characters aren’t ‘strong enough’ from anyone who wouldn’t be able to beat them in a fistfight
what people think the most time-consuming part of writing is: writing
what it actually is: stopping every few sentences to fact-check, make sure a word means what you thought it meant, find synonyms, revert to the outline…
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
😩🤧
Writers when it's time to write the story no one forced them to come up with in the first place 🙄
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.
