Ari Is Not Fae

Writer, occasionally exists

[arinotfae]

I'm actually getting writing done.

Until I return to work and it will ground to a halt.

[nondelphic]

being a hobbyist writer means oscillating between 'i don’t care if no one reads my work, it’s just for me' and 'i need my debut novel to outsell tolkien and rowling combined.'

Reblog if you're a writer who re-reads their own work for funsies.

[ofcharactersandplayers]

You reread it for funsies. I reread it because I forgot what the fuck I wrote.

We are not the same.

[arinotfae]

I reread it because I forgot what I wrote and its like reading a really good new story. So I vote both

reminded me to backup that alternate POV chapter i wrote in tumblr drafts at 3am

in the mood to write read the complete version of my wip that only exists theoretically in my head

[trench-knife]

being a writer is wild

like there are some days where all the words click into place and the sentences flow like silk and then there are other days where your plot is undergoing radioactive decay and you're about to punch through your laptop screen in frustration

They always say to ‘write the book you want to read’ but they never told me it’s because I’d have to reread it 2949492 times

[kurtsvonneslut]

actually now i’m curious

which “writing sin” appears most in your work?

generous, uninhibited use of adjectives

commas, semicolons; em dashes — i will end before this sentence does,

single-handedly paving the road to hell with my adverb usage

sentence fragments. fuck a subject. fuck a predicate.

“i love untagged dialogue.” “how do you know who’s talking?” “that’s the fun!”

quite a bit of my work is written in the passive voice.

my mission: to boldly split infinitives no man has split before

other (discussion in the tags)

You can rip my sentence fragments from my cold dead hands! They're mine. You can't have them. Try me.

the writer’s dilemma: - want to write a novel - want to read 10 novels for inspiration - end up doing neither and scrolling through memes about writing instead
