me: i miss my wip

wip: then get back to writing

*blankly stares at page*

after this WIP I'll plot so extensively the word "pantsing" won't even be in my vocabulary anymore

or so I say-

... this is me

me: i miss my wip

wip: then get back to writing

*blankly stares at page*

when writing a novel:

beginning: excited

end: excited

middle: there's a plot? and character development?

note to self

if you have a thought, write it down. don't push it back or take the chance of forgetting about it.

because that idea can go a long way.

i want to spoil my whole story and tell people my plot twists and yet want to keep it a mystery too and see their reactions later

why is it that I can think about my stories all day and plot in my head but as soon as i open a document the thoughts disappear

imagine trying to write your character's background information so you know more about them before throwing them into a plot so chaotic they need therapy and ending up going down a rabbit hole of their whole lives-

i have all these ideas in my head but how do i make it into a coherent plot

why is the middle so hard to write

i can't decide whether i want to write about colonization and its history or like internal country division...

now i'm on character motivations :)))) grief + loss are the best lmao

i can't decide whether i want to write about colonization and its history or like internal country division...

writing is where you have several epiphanies at once and think you're a genius but then get stuck on a small detail that can be catastrophic and ponder your entire life decisions that led up to this moment

hi this is your daily writing reminder that I am so proud for opening that document and adding a line to it, or for thinking about those characters, and reminiscing about that plot twist.

isn't starting a new blank page the most daunting and fulfilling at the same time

i think trying to fall back in love with your own writing hurts more than falling out of it - because you realize what you had and you're trying to get it back, but it's not coming together sometimes

will writing in comic sans ease my anxiety? we shall see

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER, I WANT TO GET BACK TO MY STORY AND WRITE.

I’m so happy I think I can cry. And it’s not because I’m writing well or because the words are flowing out of me. It’s because I love whatever I’m making, crappy or not.
