Writing Meme - Tumblr Posts
Ever had a moment when you're brainstorming/daydreaming and you don't like the way the plot has played out in your head so you gotta mentally rewind the action and it's basically a VHS tape in your head until you get to a point you do like it and then you gotta re-do all the action in whatever new way you wanted but then mentally save it like a file on a computer in your brain and hope you remember long enough until you get to a notebook or something to jot it down?
Sometimes I feel like a turtle.
Slow, nothing done, taking so long...
Then suddenly I'm at the end wondering how the hell I got there.
Writing my first fantasy piece and I'm five seconds away from sticking an extra vowel in a normal name so it sounds slightly different and I can stop overthinking this.
Elenor? No, Elenoor.
I just scrapped my entire outline (granted I didn't really like it anyways) because I worked out a whole new one IN THE SHOWER.
SHOWERS ARE ORACLES AND WATER IS MAGIC
If someone invented time travel, I hate to say it but I would just use it to write more and watch as much television as possible. Fixing my past mistakes or finally get through 17 seasons of Criminal Minds in a timely manner?
My characters: so what's the lore? What's our backstory?
Me: great question you see --
*sprints away*
Going on a trip and spent a good twenty minutes debating which notebook to bring (since I'm not taking my laptop) and weighing the pros and cons of size, binding, and page count.
Will I write a novel or nothing over the 14 days? Who knows.
I remember when I wrote 60+ page fanfics in tiny font so people couldn't read it over my shoulder after school and thought it wasn't enough and I should probably do a sequel to it.
Now I'm like words?
As someone who wants to be a tv screenwriter, I write pilots. This means I don't necessarily need to have an ending in mind. I normally know where it should go, but it's never set in stone.
Trying to write a novel is just spinning my head in all directions since it means I need to actually have an ending that is complete, done, and dusted.
That's wild.
How is writing a simple outline harder and more exhausting than writing a 60-page script????? Save me from my own brain
I’m not a perfectionist, but finding a typo or a grammatical error in my own already-published fic is like stepping on a Lego honestly
I love to post these with no context whatsoever.
I think we all saw this coming. I’m making to many memes, help-
SO REAL!??!!
or when i have the SMALLEST plot idea that starts to rot my brain, and i have to hope that the idea somehow gets added to the plot in a way that makes sense
but no matter what, my writing NEVER ends up going the way i planned it to
me when I write
