is it just a chronic writer problem that we generally get inspiration at the times when we can't write and when we sit down going 'let's do this' it's like nope nadda nothing

Mirri’s the first to break the silence. ‘I’m going to die. In the arena.’

My heart drops, and suddenly Cyrus’s request feels as though it weighs about ten tonnes. How does he know? There’s no way that he could know.

‘..Mir, we’re all going to die in there.’

‘No, I mean, I’m going to die, Hal.’ There’s no way he could know there’s absolutely no way how could he have found out-

‘I’m going to do it myself.’

And suddenly that’s one hundred times worse than him saying he knew that I was meant to kill him.

that strong craving to write fanfiction but when you look at the blank page with the giant 2 at the top and you just dont want to disturb its peacefulness

[sunriseatmidnightwriting]

I’ve had these two comments on a work of mine I haven’t updated in a few months, honestly really touched my heart, especially the first one

readers often dont realise just how much their small comments of loving a fic or how much they enjoy reading it means to the writer :)

thank you for the time you spend to write comments, readers <3

My friend said this about AO3 and it’s honestly so true

[a-singular-rat-in-a-trenchcoat]

I think every fanfic author / writer should have a plushie to be their little writing buddy.

I've been procrastinating planning this fic but having my avocado jellycat with me whilst I'm writing has made it infinitely better.

If I don't know how a scene is going to be laid out or I'm having trouble planning it, I just brain vomit to my plushies and write down any helpful things I was having trouble getting onto paper.

vote to make this unofficial writer law

there’s no feeling quite like the joy of not writing anything of substance for wayyy longer than you’d like to admit only to suddenly get super motivated one random evening and listening to on-theme music while writing so much you may as well be possessed

[greenspacefish]

Does anyone else have the thing where you’re like I have so many thoughts but none of them are coherent or even words??? Like I have a vibe and the crushing need to write but I couldn’t even translate it into something I can understand???

[sunriseatmidnightwriting]

YES

YES SO MUCH YES

my one fixer was shower thoughts i got out yesterday opened my google docs and threw down a bunch of notes about experimental drugs, tears in the universe, and the stars going out like a light for a moment. about a novel that is set on earth about humans. but oh well. shower thoughts just do that shit for you. go take a shower, mate. i feel you.

woke up. Checked ao3. Looked at comments on other fics while mine got silence and cried so hard I couldn’t breathe.

I reread my own work, trying to find the flaw— What did I do wrong? Why wasn’t I enough? Was it the pacing? The summary? Or maybe it’s just me. Maybe I’m the problem.

But what can I say? Having a depressive episode at fucking five in the morning over the one thing that used to bring you joy but now makes you want to fuck off and rot is SO MUCH FUN!!!

[sunriseatmidnightwriting]

I completely understand how you're feeling her because it's a very relatable feeling but you need to know that you are not a problem! There are gonna be people who love your work and love you in this world so so much and there are gonna be those fuckers who write shit comments or tell you you've done everything wrong but honestly I don't think anyone could care less about those people because what they say is just meaningless and you deserve so much better, and the same goes for people not saying anything, because it feels so good to be appreciated. Yet this still doesn't define you, and there are always going to be the readers who wish they could give 100 kudos instead of 1. Even then, that doesn't define you or your writing, and it doesn't make anything a problem, much less you. I don't know you personally but from some of your posts I can tell you are an amazing and lovely person and you deserve to feel the love you want to feel. Just know how great you are <3

Hopefully the fucking depressive feelings pass off soon and you can feel better, make sure to get some sleep and do something relaxing or caring for yourself, or hug someone who loves you if you find physical contact soothing. Just know how amazing you are, and that you are not a problem!! And you absolutely never will be

me: i love slow burn

also me, on chapter 2: kiss or i’m setting the house on fire

[nondelphic]

tried to give a character a personality and now they won’t shut up. literally hijacked the whole plot. i am a side character in my own novel

[sunriseatmidnightwriting]

my friend did that with one of my minor characters... not even one chapter in but he's declared the story is all about her now

[obsidianpegasus-deactivated2025]

Spoiler: 70% of the time, it is not :(

[nondelphic]

[sunriseatmidnightwriting]
