#*stares at the scattered mental notes on champions galore AU*

Me writing a fic: slow AF but determined, knows what comes next, just tries to word it perfectly, sometimes worried that the female protagonists are a bit mary-sueish, but overall doesn’t care -- they’re over the top, of course, they’re a protagonists! -- huge boost of dopamine when writing!

Me writing my novel : slow AF, second guesses every decision, double checks every word on the thesaurus, has sentences of complete opposing meanings underlined because doesn’t know which way to go, terrified that the female protagonist is the human equivalent of a wet mop, can’t seem to find a satisfying characterisation for her, huge pit of despair when writing...
