The first draft can be as basic and bad as you want. Just get your basic idea down then you can fix it later.

sometimes the best writing advice is "just let it be bad." revolutionary. terrifying. but it works.

i’m like if a writer did not write and did other things instead

Writers should NOT feel guilty about:

Skipping a day of writing.

Not having a perfect first draft.

Partaking in sinister, arcane rituals for inspiration.

Working at their own pace.

Enlisting demons and/or helpful spirits to aid them with editing.

the problem with reading and writing leading to a strong vocabulary is that you tend to know the vibe of words instead of their meanings.

if I used this word in a sentence, would it make sense? absolutely. if you asked me what it meant, could I tell you? absolutely not.

i sit down to write and suddenly i am the most distracted human alive. the chair is uncomfortable. my coffee is too hot. my playlist isn't quite the vibe. i need to research what victorian houses smelled like in 1872 for exactly 45 minutes even though my story takes place in space. and yet the moment i'm trying to fall asleep? every single sentence i've ever needed just lines up perfectly in my brain like some kind of creative parade i'll never get back.

Writers when it's time to write the story no one forced them to come up with in the first place 🙄

[chilipepperconverse]

surprised this hadn't been made yet

[anexistingexistence]

Yes I want to write my story but my story doesn't want to be written so what the fuck am I supposed to do about that huh?

[graceless-writing]

“How’s your WIP going?”

"Have you made any progress?”

“How close are you to being done?”

Always the writer, never the reader.
