Suicide mission 😭🪦
🌬️
"So you're just gonna avoid writing your WIP for absolutely no reason ? What about your characters?"
Writers 😩:
Writers when they finally finish their first draft after months of hard work, blood, sweat and tears 🥹
Screaming relief 😩
Writers finding out that they actually have to write their book, not just fantasize about it.
*Screaming in S.O.S 😭😭😭
remember: a blank page is a world of possibilities—and a finished page is one step closer to finishing that other project you said you’d come back to later.
When a side character starts getting more interesting than the main character
ON POINT!
i've said it before and i'll say it again. writers are always told to 'show, don’t tell,' but sometimes you just have to tell. no one needs a poetic paragraph about how the sky is an emotional metaphor for your protagonist’s angst when you can just say, 'he was sad.' trust your instincts. you know when to show and when to tell.
Yeahhh, c'mon 😂🔥🔥
don’t accept criticism that your characters aren’t ‘strong enough’ from anyone who wouldn’t be able to beat them in a fistfight
Yeah I understand that sometimes our characters can have a mind of their own but sometimes you just gotta rein in control. I definitely can't imagine reading a ten-page argument about cheese. It's highly unnecessary. If they terribly need to banter about cheese, make it short for the sake of your readers and get. back. into. the. plot.🙂.
I AM TRYING TO WRITE A SIMPLE SCENE BUT APPARENTLY EVERY CHARACTER HAS DECIDED TO BECOME AN EXPERT IN BANTER AND DERAIL THE PLOT. HOW DID THIS TURN INTO A 10-PAGE ARGUMENT ABOUT CHEESE?? WHO IS IN CHARGE HERE (IT’S NOT ME)!!!!!!!!!????????
sometimes you have to remind yourself that drafts are like onions—layers upon layers of tears
