I Hate Writing, I Love Having Written.

“I hate writing, I love having written.”

— Dorothy Parker (via imaginethewords)

controversial writing tip

open a document and start writing

Me: *Opens word document and opens internet to research important science fact about something for my writing*

Me an hour later: *no words written, what fact was I even looking up, somehow on a page dictating the origins of cockney rhyming slang*

Admirable writers: I write at least 5 rough drafts before posting my final draft.

Me, a fanfic gremlin: My first draft is my final draft.

I don’t want to write this extremely specific fanfic of which I am the primary audience, I just want to read it.

writing tip #2277:

stop thinking about what you want to write and just do something else instead
