“why are you getting frustrated with your characters? you write them, they can do whatever you want”

NO THEY CAN’T. this little fuckers have some psychological power over me i CANNOT MAKE THEM DO SHIT

[tokkibean]

i love fanfiction because unlike original work the plot and characters are all plotted and characterised for you to use so its a really good solution for those “i want to write but i dont know what to write” moods it lets you focus soley on the craft and its wonderful

Give a man a fanfic, and he will read for a day. Teach a man to write, and he still won't do it.

He'll think about it though, and boy oh boy, he'll be thinking about it...

Writing is wild. One day you’re unstoppable and the next day you’re staring at your keyboard like it personally betrayed you.

[bythelynx]

writing slow burn: I know exactly what every glance means. I put it there.

living slow burn: WHAT DID THAT LOOK MEAN? WHAT WAS THAT TOUCH??

maybe that's what makes it interesting though...

[writer-woes-and-woahs]

"Write what you know--" NO. Write what fucking horrifies you.

You don't know how detailed you can be until you're writing something you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy.

When you've been a writer for long enough, commas become more of a spiritual practice than a grammatical one.

Could I explain the actual rules of how they’re used? Absolutely not.

Do I rely on sensing a tremor in the force to tell me where to use them? Yes and this has never failed me even once.

love when people who read rus lit call the characters by the endearing nicknames, like yeah thats your pal rodya right there

[absolutegibberishandnumbers]

jokes to make after failure that aren’t self-deprecating:

I’m the best to ever do it

Nobody saw that (best if said loudly)

No one’s ever done it like me

I could be President/they should make me President

Behold, a mere fraction of my power!

The public wants to be me soooooo bad

I’m an expert in (thing you just failed at)

How could this have happened to god’s favorite princess?

Nothing ibuprofen and a glass of water cant fix

I’m being sabotaged

[nosimpincurly]

If you start reading books again, you’ll feel at least a little better. I promise.

the romantics had lord byron. you have me writing enemies-to-lovers fanfic in a google doc at 3am

[nondelphic]

my characters have banter in my head but when i type it out they sound like two robots negotiating a hostage exchange

[nondelphic]

me rereading my own romance writing: “why did i write this like a victorian man who’s never seen a woman before”
