Writing Tip

Neither do i

[eviliens]

Unreliable everyone

[bookhobbit]

Finished the first draft of the novel I have been working on. 92,674 words. 1 year, 2 months, 20 days. I cannot believe I finished something. I can't believe I finished something without a schedule, I just worked on it when I wanted to. wow.

I don't even have writers block I just can't figure out how to lock TF back in like I did in March

[concerningwolves]

i have three responses to "how is your writing going"

1) it's not

2) it's going

3) i am ENTHUSED. i have been BLESSED with the POWER of the MUSES. i am an UNSTOPPABLE FORCE OF CREATION i am the MOST ULTIMATE OF ALL WRITERS

You know you're onto something in a story when it makes you cry while writing and reading it in real-time as it's happening

Imagine how many great, weird, awesome stories would exist if writers actually wrote instead of scrolling on tumblr

[ociewriter]

you are the guest of honor

so exciting when working on a novel and you arrive at the images that made you want to write it. my books have a lot of set pieces and when working through a draft theres a timing thing where i think 'ok WHERE is the next big moment that only YOU can make?' then BANG it kicks the door open. SO GOOD. this goes for all art. there is nothing like the arrival of YOURSELF

[armandgender]

writing is so fun

[armandgender]

writing is impossible why does anyone do this

[ravioliet]

god's weakest soldier is scrolling tumblr instead of being productive or participating in any of their hobbies

[ravioliet]

to everyone in the notes saying this is mean or rude or a callout, this post was autobiographical. we're in this together. take my paw

[ociewriter]

save me OCs in my phone notes app

[gr8writingtips]

do you have the courage to write a terrible first draft?

[oldbutchdanielmolloy]

has anybody heard of writing / knows anything about how to do it
