Writer Problems - Tumblr Posts
Fucking hell
Yes. This. Forever.
the ever terrifying and exhausting cycle of “i don’t want to share my writing bc it feels disheartening when not many people are interested in it” and “i have to post the writing for people to become interested in it”
Me, a writer trying to do social media:
🗣: Writers need to have social media presence!
Me:
I think Tumblr is okay for now, I like it over here🫶
Me: I want to see a variety of character types and backgrounds. Is that what you have, or do you have another queer with anxiety?
My brain: I have a new original character.
Me: You're sure. You have a new idea and it's not just an anxious queer.
My brain: That is correct. I have a totally original character.
Me: Excellent! Please give me the original character.
My brain: [hands over an anxious queer]
Fucking THIS
Writing is all fun and games until you have to describe a room.
It turns out having an agent pass on your manuscript after they've read the whole thing sucks a lot worse than getting a rejection after they've only read a couple chapters.
Pretty sure the definition of hell is re-writing a time skip scene.
Tfw you don't have the energy to write anything new and barely have the energy to edit existing projects for weeks, but then are hit with 10K word of dickspiration all at once
Me: Hitting refresh every so often on my FFXIV fic about Age Difference Discourse by way of wanting to suck dick, trying to get a screenshot of 69 views
DAMMITTTTTTTT
"Too much?" I asked hesitantly.
"No!" he exclaimed, shaking his head vigorously. "I just..." G'raha's mouth opened and closed several times. "I didn't even think to ask for this," he finally said in a small voice. "And it's exactly what I wanted? And I don't know what I've done to deserve this."
My heart jack-knifed in my chest as I moved to the love seat and pulled G'raha into a crushing hug. "You were yourself, you dolt," I scolded gently. "You deserve nice things, and we enjoy giving them to you."
It seemed as if G'raha might try to argue with me, until Alisaie cut the tension with a typically Alisaie joke. "Especially when the nice things we're giving you are our dicks. I rather like that bit."
G'raha laughed weakly and relaxed into the embrace. "Good. I do too."

(Chapter 2 of my Free Use G'raha fic that is planned to be six chapters is going to be twice the length of the first chapter.
Why am I like this.)
Do you ever just have so many OCs and you don't feel like explaining or drawing them but in the same moment you want people to know about your favorite scrimblos and the feeling in your mind is just something that sounds like this:

writing tip I have no reason to believe
my mother (a writer) tells me that when she gets writer’s block, she gets out her writing notebook and writes down everything that is not going to happen next in her story. she does this until she either a) comes up with an answer or b) ends up using one of the scenarios she didn’t originally want to write. i have not tried this yet because i end up forgetting about projects that i don’t know how to continue, but it might be useful to other people :D
My mom: why don't you write things I'd like to read?
Me: sorry mom, I wanna write orgy scenes for lesbians and bisexuals who don't have sex
The real struggle of a writing is having an idea for a particular scene between characters and knowing exactly how you want the scene to go but not knowing how to write the beginning or the end of the story.
I can no longer endure the pain that I’ve used to sleep with.
The thing is we can identify the problem but not the solution to fix it
I've started writing a book! Well, a short story kinda thing.
IT'S GONNA BE A SERIES!!!
I think....
My ADHD makes me not wanna keep stories 😒
But I feel like I really wanna do this
I'm gonna make my own language for it as well!
Would that be lame? I dunno 😅
I wonder if people even read these...
:\
well I hope you all will like it! ^^
I'll keep you all updated on how it goes ;p
