the entire day: omg i wanna write omg i wanna write i have so much inspiration and motivation i cant wait to open my doc and write

when its time to write:

[beginning-writer]

Hey! You! Fanfic writer!

Your story doesn't need to be completely accurate to their time/era. It is still fiction. If you want to make a vegan dragon, or that anesthesia existed before men knew how to speak, you can. And if people not okay with that? Fuck them, the story is yours.

[kiora-writes]

I can't do it anymore

[comicallylargeknife]

GOD I FUCKING HATE WRITING i say while writing a fic that i chose to write. nobody is forcing me to do this.

[an0neemouse]

The dichotomy of a writer:

I want my book to magically appear from the imaginings in my mind. But I also want to find joy and revel in the process of it's creation.

[mxllzi]

being a writer means having 20 wips that you want to work on all at once and constantly flitting between three as you write

it is me. i am writer.

i am procrastinating writing all of my current projects by going onto tumblr

[ilikecheddarpopcorn]

the urge 2 drop the new chapter of my fanfic without proof-reading it, is consuming me

like- thats over 2K words. i dont wanna read all that shit i just wrote :(

[ohwhatagloomyshow]

“First and foremost I’m writing for myself,” I hiss through my teeth, resisting the urge to refresh my email for an Ao3 message for the 100th time.

As a writer I love re-reading a chapter I wrote months ago and reeling back confused, shocked and emotionally devastated.

There is a power in the sense of 'what the fuck did I just read' and the inconceivability of what the hell was going on in my brain back then.

This, except I usually don’t love doing it 😭💔

How to use Em Dash (—) and Semi Colon ( ; )

Since the ai accusations are still being thrown around, here's how i personally like to use these GASP ai telltales. 🦄✨

Em Dashes (—)

To emphasize a shift / action / thought.

They're accusing us—actually accusing us—of using AI.

To add drama.

They dismissed our skills as AI—didn't even think twice, the dimwits—and believed they were onto something.

To insert a sudden thought. Surely they wouldn't do that to us—would they?

To interrupt someone's speech. "Hey, please don't say that. I honed my craft through years of blood and tears—" "Shut up, prompter."

To interrupt someone's thoughts / insert a sudden event.

We're going to get those kudos. We're going to get those reblogs—

A chronically online Steve commented, “it sounds like ai, idk.”

Semi Colons ( ; )

To join two closely related independent sentences / connect ideas.

Not only ChatGPT is capable of correct punctuation; who do you think it learned from in the first place?

Ultimate pro tip: use them whenever the fudge you want. You don't owe anyone your creative process. 🌈

How I’m feeling editing this chapter

I feel like I’ve done nothing even though I’ve added an extra two hundred words… 😞
