first panel is someone looking at some text that says "i write and create a new character"
next panel the person blinks, and text next to them that says [three immersive daydreams later]
final panel the person opens their eyes surprised to see text that says "they’re now way more important to the story than before and have a complex backstory because i like them too much"](https://64.media.tumblr.com/735008f7aee659c0e81e24e969c8fc9e/a3d658b3aa21f9fc-17/s500x750/bf32788e4eb5f706fa390924b3e5218e3c61d10e.png)

writers wishing they could draw whats in their head 🤝 artists wishing they could write whats in their head
Ahahaha not me looking at other fanfics characterization and sweating while trying to remind my frail ego that I’m doing this because I was bored and it’s fun, and some people actually just happened to like it.
This is the best explanation I could come up with for why it takes me so long to do updates sometimes when, at other times, I’m typing them up like clockwork.
I'm devastated. I just tried to work on google docs offline and it said it was saved to my device. I had written about 500 words on my short story and had just passed the 1000 word mark and had gotten to a really cool scene-
It, as a matter of fact, did not save.
Fuck you google docs.
Oh no.. It’s me
(But seriously it’s me. My Newsies Wizards AU is nearly identical to my Pokemon Wizards AU and I have no idea how to make them different or which to prioritize ahahaha. Writing is hard)
me as a writer: Oh no I can’t write that, somebody else already has
me as a reader: hell yes give me all the fics about this one scenario. The more the merrier
This hit so hard rn. *brain not working after eight hours of trying to finish one chapter* oof
Literally me right now
Me after a long day of writing: *closing the lid of my laptop nodding to myself* that was a good sentence
I always tell myself I’ll keep it cute, keep it light, and by the end of draft one it’s always dark and or tragic.
Writers be like: "I love my characters!"
Also writers: "What if I made them suffer horribly for no reason except my own entertainment?"
Writer wants to write, but writer’s depression doesn’t care. Writer isn’t blocked, so much as they are drained. Countless words and ideas on the top of their tongue and they can’t speak. Their pen rests on their desk, useless. If writer does not write, are they useless? Was writer wrong to allow depression to be a thief, to steal their love, their job, and their joy? Should writer try to fight, reclaim their humanity, even if it’s just to finish a sentence, or should they concede?
I’m writing a second draft for the first time, and it’s both exciting and terrifying. We’ll see how it goes!
