Writing

do you ever think of something when you’re trying to sleep and tell yourself “I can write it down in the morning”?

I have, and every time I do im just lying to myself again

I’m not crying, there’s onions

I am crying

no, i just hate writing sometimes

Being from Massachusetts is the only reason I know how to pronounce Worcestershire sauce. Worcester, MA has conditioned me to have “woostah” or “wooster” (I don’t have a heavy accent) as a possible pronunciation of that combo of letters

I don’t care if it’s originally British or not, Massachusetts taught me well

It also makes it a lot harder to spell from memory. Took me five tries in this post

If anyone asks me what I’m writing, I will say nothing. But in a conversation that I can use to talk about my writing, I will take that opportunity.

Me, in reference to a D&D character: He’s just a little guy!

Normal Person: That “little guy” could easily kill you. He’s not even that short

Me: Leave me and my little depressed tiefling alone!

Person I’m talking about my writing to: That’s so cool! Can I see it?

Me: the thing is…. It’s spread over ten documents that I haven’t touched in like, six months and I’ve been super focused on making the magic system work so some characters aren’t complete gods because of lucky family lineage.

Person: …

Me: And I haven’t actually started writing the plot.

The question: what are you thinking about?

My answer:

headcanons for my characters

or

something really existential to the point that it disturbs the average person, including myself

Sometimes it’s both!

Me talking to myself

yes, I talk to myself in the second person. I will also use the fourth person collective on occasion.

“Why can’t I write what I want to today?”

maybe because what you want to write is a cohesive story and you would mostly be staring at that damn taunting, blinking line of a cursor on the Google Doc

“I want to write chronologically!” too bad, you’re thinking of a random scene that’s over halfway through the story. I don’t make the rules

“Why can’t I write the main plot?”

because I said so. Now go back to writing about what happened hundreds of years before the main plot to explain the tension between the two sides

“What’s this character’s name again?”

Think of a new one. You know what it is, and it causes the Tiffany Problem. Think of a new one, you fucking idiot

… dammit.

reblog if you’re a writer who feels guilt whenever they’re not writing and being productive, so I know I’m not the only one lol

it’s even worse if they have similar characteristics, like same hair color or smth similar.

I write a lot sibling scenes, it’s painful

„The hardest thing to write is heartbreak/the end/ect.“

Nah man, the hardest thing to write is a long scene about two people with same gender, without overusing their name. That is hardcore.
