One Time A Professor Asked Me If I’d Ever Wanted To Write Anything “more Important” Than Romance.

After spending a month editing: I'm DONE. FREE. The shackles hath been broken. My story is the best it's gonna get, I have no more energy to continue.

Me in the shower 5 min later: But what IF I changed that one sentence in chapter 9...

“you look tired are you okay?”

no i’m not i spent all night writing about depressed gay people thanks for asking tho

not writing, not not writing, but a secret third thing

"Oh my God why would they do that????" I say as I write someone doing something bad with my own ten fingers

people need to stop treating fictional characters like they're real people

it's so annoying

"simping over this character is objectifying them!!!" THEYRE LITERALLY OBJECTS. THEY DONT EXSIT. THEY CANT BE OFFENDED, MADE UNCOMFORTABLE, ETC, BECAUSE THEY DONT EXIST.

sometimes i go back and reread what i wrote a while ago & i'm like

i hate writing action scenes. WHY ARE THEY SO HARD. do i describe every punch? every duck? every dramatic glare?? suddenly i have no idea how bodies move and it reads like a play-by-play of an awkward middle school fight. 'he punched. they dodged. they punched. he dodged.' HELP.
