kryptaria:

montparnasse:

till-proven-guilty:

travellerofmanylands:

my level of fanfiction productivity ranges from “typing 20,000 words over the span of 3 days” or “opening a document and staring at it for a year without typing anything at all.” there is no middle ground.

#the truth hurts #starting another WIP can help

#‘starting another wip can help’ #thats the devil talking #(starts another one anyway) (x)

*stares at latest wip*

*starts sobbing*

I feel so called out rn.

“I am a writer,” she said, awkwardly

“I am a writer,” she said, awkwardly writing about Things occurring awkwardly in Awkwardsville.

Apparently I used to make a table of contents for myself

Apparently I used to make a table of contents for myself for my fics, and I can’t remember why I stopped doing that. I just opened an older fic that needs some fixin’ and (I kid you not, I’m such a freaking nerd), thought “Wow, that’s a great idea. Why didn’t I think of that?…Oh, wait.”

writer with actual time to write

via http://ift.tt/2kuHKlz:
Today is going to be one of those days when I open up every single WiP in my writing folder, type exactly three sentence, and then delete them.

i’m just imagining if fic writers streamed like

via http://ift.tt/2lRZfZ7:
quoth-the-ravenclaw:

a blinking cursor on an otherwise completely blank word document

red squiggles everywhere because your laptop doesn’t recognize any of the character names

an endless trek through thesaurus.com trying to figure out the word that’s on the tip of your tongue that you just can’t remember

typing a word, deleting it, 20 minutes pause while you try to come up with something better, then giving up and retyping the same word

doing a quick google for research purposes and then accidentally ending up 30 articles deep in wikipedia with a new found expertise on Polish trade practices during the 1800s

giving up halfway through the chapter and making PLACEHOLDERS IN ALL CAPS CUZ YOU CAN’T BE BOTHERED TO FIGURE THIS FUCKING PART OUT RIGHT NOW

deleting entire paragraphs

panicking and frantically hitting ctrl+z

an endless string of G’s because you passed out on your keyboard at 3 am

Okay, but I’ve actually considered streaming whilst writing. But then I realized all of the above and guessed that this would be hugely boring. xD
