you know youâre a writer whenâŚ
you spend 30 minutes choosing the perfect synonym for âsaidâ only to change it back to âsaid.â
you google âhow long does it take to bleed outâ at 3 a.m. and now the FBI is probably watching you.
you write one sentence, stare at it, rewrite it 14 times, and somehow end up back at the original version.
âthis scene is so importantâ but you have no idea what the scene actually is or why itâs important.
you come up with the best story ideas⌠in the shower⌠with no way to write them down.
your characters feel like real people but also youâre like âwho are these guys and what do they want from me?â
your brain says âstart writing!â but instead you reorganize your desk, reread your notes, and spend two hours naming a side character who shows up once.
youâve cried over your WIP exactly 67 times and will do it again because the pain is the point.
you reread something you wrote and think, âwow, did i peak as a writer three months ago?â
every writing session begins with the sacred ritual of scrolling social media, opening unnecessary tabs, and procrastinating until panic sets in.
you have no idea how long a chapter should be, so you just⌠vibe.
you canât watch tv or movies without mentally critiquing the plot, dialogue, and pacing.
your writing playlist is 98% vibes, 2% songs youâll actually listen to while writing.
you keep a âmurder notebookâ but swear itâs not suspicious because itâs for your novel (probably).
the phrase âjust one more draftâ is your eternal mantra, even though youâve rewritten this thing more times than you can count.
