Me Writing - Tumblr Posts

Having your story planned out

…but not being sure if you’re ready to start:

Writing the dramatic death scene

In your head:

In paper:

what are we???? WRITERS!!!!!! what are we gonna do???? WRITE!!!!!!!!!! when are we gonna do it???????? //distant sobbing

For character development of course.

I miss my OCs right now.

Does anyone else get really caught up on the small details in their writing? Like you can be really good at writing situations and feelings and characters, but you get to a point when you’re writing something small like what they’re making for dinner and before you know it, you’re googling recipes with tomatoes because you think the scene won’t be convincing unless you know the cooking time and temp??

Merry Writing!

During December I’m doing a thing. It’s a bit less stressful than NaNo, it’s 500 words each day, which also means it’ll be easier to take breaks if I just write 1000 on some days. I’ve pulled @strawberryspaceship with me on this already, so we’ll try to do sprints here and there, in case anyone wants to join this thing or just be tagged when we’re doing sprints!

Reminder to self:

Your writing seems boring and predictable because 

You wrote it

You’ve read it like eight million times.

A person who has never read it before does not have this problem. 

*my characters avoiding having deep or emotional conversations* because *me avoiding writing deep or emotional conversations*

'this will get me to the pulitzer prize or a madhouse' — me writing.
