75% of writing is convincing yourself that your story is worth it

windwardstar

It is. In case you were wondering. Your story is worth the effort you are putting into it. It’s an amazing thing because you are writing it.

And re-read the same sentence because yeah it was THAT good. And I felt like I wasn't 1000% committed when I read it the first time.

#and if you're insane enough #you can do this with your own writing too!!#ill sometimes catch myself rereading a sentence and just. giggle and kick my feet and oh my god this is so awful teehee #so yeah. i hope people do this with my fics #but at the end of the day so long as i do it im winning forever #this is brought to you by #dovetail mate #which i am still writing i pinky promise #but 45k is a lot of words. and im still going #she'll be out soon i swear #lux writes

You know how in creative writing the characters demand to do their own thing and you as the writer have no choice but to go with it?

I wish this guy would tell me what the hell he's up to

Like dude I get it you love confusing people but I am literally trying to write you please at least communicate to me, the writer, what the hell you're doing!!! I don't know what you're doing!!!

all stories need a part where the protagonists need to sneak into a gala or ball or other fancy event by wearing pretty clothes. this is more important then gay shit like arcs or conclusions

The em dash is a type of phallus that authors use to jerk off sentences

writing is so funny because i could write nonstop for 9hrs and then hit a block where im like "how do i transition between this moment and the next?" and then i just dont touch it for 6 months

galadrieljones

Serious advice tho if this happens, it's likely because you already wrote past the end of the scene and wandered too far from the more logical transition point, and you should go back to the last time the writing felt "unforced" and cut everything after.

You can also just skip the transition. Really good writing can span years in a single sentence, like you can just authoritatively state fact and your reader will go with it.

This is GOLD! You just saved me like thousands of therapy costs lmao

quasi-normalcy

The rookie mistake in fiction writing is assuming that short stories will be easier to write than novels because they're smaller. No. This is the equivalent to thinking that it's easier to make a pocket watch than grandfather clock. Short stories are complex engineering problems.

quasi-normalcy

You need to find a way to pack all of the things that a story needs into a tiny like box without it overheating.

becky boo-boo and "absolute joke" lee really fighting hard to get people to realize just how homoerotic the women's division CAN be if given the chance
