Murphy’s law, applied to WRITING fanfics [insp.]

The plot is good, the characters are awesome, you’re totally motivated, but you have no time to write

The plot is good, the characters are awesome, you have lots of time to write, but you lose all motivation

The plot is weak, the characters are static and one dimensional, but you have lots of time and motivation to write

You have an idea for a one-shot and six chapters in your OTP hasn’t even touched hands

Your multi-chap plot can accidentally be wrapped up in 1500 words 

You plot the plot twists and mythology and symbolism for a multi-chap for so long that you’re not a good enough writer to pull it off anymore

You write 20,000 words but don’t trust yourself to start posting the fic until it’s completely written and then it just dies away bc that’s a LOT of pressure

You write any entire perfect one-shot but can’t figure out how to tie it up at the end and so it sits in your drafts until you can’t remember writing it

You start posting a multichapter and realize you’ve written yourself into a morally-dubious corner that you have zero interest in continuing but it’s too late and you have to keep going.

You find the plot of your almost-compete fic in another fandom and you just can’t keep going even if no one will ever know and you didn’t plagiarize to begin with 

You write a trope that you can’t find ANYWHERE in your fandom and give up because maybe there’s a reason no one writes that one here

You’ve started to be really bored of your main character and only care about the another character but it wouldn’t make any sense to change POVs now.

Your characters become OOC within your own fic because you forgot you wrote that one scene earlier

You write a long scene and realize it totally messes with your plot and/or character development but it’s long and you can’t bear to delete it so you have to just make it work. 

(you give up shortly thereafter and waste 20,000 words instead of deleting 500)

You have to write plot? So that everything even makes sense? 

You suddenly have to explain? Why some random fact about your verse happens? And you can’t figure it out? (magic?)

You realize the laws of physics could never allow your plot to work? And you’re not writing in a magical and/or limitless universe?

CANON CHANGES and your 50,000 word canon-verse fic features a character or plot that suddenly is OOC or makes no sense

CANON KILLS YOUR CHARACTER and you can’t deal with writing about their beautiful face in the canon universe anymore. You are twelve chapters into your fic and you cry and cry and cry.

Best thing about learning new subjects or hobbies is that a whole world of intricate procedures, vocabulary, lore, controversy, niche pockets of interest, tricks, deepening personal experience of your own and others etc etc all opens up to you and you just get to walk around in there

oopsie! You got a bit too manic about a creative project too close to bedtime and now your brain is too awake to sleep. One million dead 10 morbillion injured

little kids are so fucking funny man. had a kid that couldn’t be any older than like 8 or so come up to me today asking where our dinosaur books where, and when i tried to gently redirect them downstairs (where our kids section is) they very matter-of-fairly informed me that they’d already read every book down there and are ready to learn about the “secret, grown-up only dinosaurs” now

Something I want able bodied people to understand is that I don't want a diagnosis cause I wanna be sick so bad; I want a diagnosis because there is already something wrong with my body but I don't know what the fuck it is.

I would like to see more people talk about how jobs treat disabled employees.

I used to prep, wash dishes, and cook at mellow mushroom. I had chronic pain that wasn't NEARLY as bad as it is today, but it was still very debilitating. I told my employer "i cannot stand more than 4 to 6 hours. I CANNOT do shifts longer than this due to my illness." And even though i made my boundaries VERY clear, everyday i worked it was 8 hours at the least and 10 or 12 at the most. I would go up to my manager and say "look i really need to leave, my shift is over, my chronic pain is killing me." And he'd say "we really need to here, you HAVE to push through." And so i did, and after one, ONE month of that job my crps got incredibly worse to the point where i could no longer walk my dog around the block which was .5 miles. I quit, and that was FOUR years ago, and ever since that day I HAVE BEEN BEDRIDDEN AND HAVE TO USE A WHEELCHAIR. It is my biggest regret in life.

My best friend who has seen my whole journey has recently developed undiagnosed chronic pain, and she is in the EXACT same scenario i was 4 years ago. Busting her ass at a pizza place with extreme pain that hurts her so much she tells me "im in so much pain i don't even feel like a person." She doesn't feel LUCID. And her manager and coworkers are saying the same thing "if you don't help us you will let us down, we'll be in the shit."

That job thats hurting you isn't fucking worth it. I promise you no money is worth losing all your physical abilities and never getting them back. Your coworkers and boss do not give a shit about you, so don't you dare suffer for them. They will never understand your struggle and they will never try. They truly think being understaffed is worse than whatever pain you experience. They would rather you permanently damage yourself than inconvenience them. FUCK THEM. DON'T FUCKING DO IT!
