Thoughts-of-writers - What Is Inside The Writer's Head? - Tumblr Blog
Extremely displeased to announce I just opened my writing doc to find the fic has not yet written itself. Will check back in tomorrow to see if it’s made any progress
I made a meme
nothing makes u feel stupid quite like being a writer. out here googling “rooms in a house” to make sure i didn’t forget one of em. blockhead behavior.
controversial writing tip
open a document and start writing
If you're stuck in the first draft of your novel, these three words will set you free:
Fix it later.
Right now, all you need to do is get the story on paper. You'll have time to make it perfect. You'll have plenty of chances to fix everything. For now, just write. 🤞💚
I just wrote 8 pages when I haven't written in months and was beginning to think I'd never be able to again. Idk what it is, but I am sharing and manifesting this energy for every writer who sees this. May you write 8 quality pages effortlessly and find joy writing once more
BEFORE WRITING: Oh, this fic idea is so cute, and it won't take any time at all! WHILE WRITING: Oh...oh, no...I Underestimated this. Again.
Me while editing: *adds a sentence*
*finds nearly identical sentence in the next paragraph*

Why your story matters:
Because you wrote it. And that's all it takes for it to matter. It is not about skill or popularity. It's about your love for writing.
Writers.
Your stories matter.
You are not inferior to other writers.
You don't have to prove your worth to anyone.
Your passion matters more than your skill.
You are allowed to openly celebrate your achievements.
You're doing great. You are making a difference. You are so important to this community.
If you’re doubting yourself as a writer right now, take a moment to remember how far you’ve come! Think about how much progress you’ve made and how much you’ve honed your storytelling skills with every story you’ve told!
Don’t give up on yourself or your stories now!
Repeat after me: I am a damn good writer. No one’s criticism of my work will deter or discourage me. I will never compare myself to others, as I am only in competition with myself. I can be as self indulgent and unrealistic as I want. I can be as realistic and thorough as I feel. There are no set rules to writing, only suggestions. Besides, if we all wrote the same, there would be no joy in reading.
One of them will have to get finished eventually, right???
In order to be a writer, you must W.R.I.T.E!
W: Whine with every word you write
R: Reread your past writing before reevaluating your life
I: Intensely daydream
T: Try not to get distracted by Tumblr
E: Edit paragraphs obsessively
can’t believe i have to go to work when all i want to do is think about the relationship dynamics i have made up between fictional characters
Things Writers Struggle with:
1. Writing
Why haven’t I finished my fic yet I want to read it
must i proofread my writing? is it not enough to unleash it on the public, sexy and unedited?
