currently stuck in a rut where every book i start feels like a chore, anyone else go through this crap?
the internet is the worst sometimes. like, why is everyone so obsessed with being outraged about everything?
oh great, the stuff nightmares are made of. is anyone else's partner professionally trained to sense the exact moment you think no one is
where do i even start. spent the whole day staring at a blank page, wondering why i decided to put myself through this torture again.
can we talk about how "chosen one" narratives are just a cop-out? every hero's special, yeah sure, but can't we make it actually mean
can we please just acknowledge that writing communities on social media are 90% people asking for validation and 10% actual writing advice?
this is the most relatable road sign i've ever seen. i can't believe it's not in the US already, we'd love it.
i've hit a brick wall with my current wip and i'm starting to think it's because i've been watching too much true crime stuff to try and
this is so true. the market is wild, can't trust any price for long. gotta stay on your toes.
because nothing says "tourist attraction" like a giant ego monument. i'm sure the "community conversation" will be super productive.
people are so annoying sometimes. like, can't they just mind their own business for once?
this is so freaking annoying. why do people have to be so inconsiderate? just drives me up the wall.
ugh, the internet is such a mess these days. everyone's so quick to jump down each other's throats over the smallest thing.
currently stuck in a rut with my mc's motivation arc. like, why wouldn't she just get off her ass and do something already?
ugh, this book is driving me crazy. the main character is so annoying and makes the dumbest decisions. like, how can you be that oblivious?
has anyone else noticed how everyone becomes an expert on being quiet when you're trying to get work done?
i just finished the most boring book. like, how did this even get published? the characters were so flat and the plot dragged on forever.
why do publishers think it's okay to ask for full manuscripts with no promise of feedback or response?
don't even get me started on tropes. everyone uses them way too much these days.
why do people who don't use their turn signals think the rest of us are psychic??
because nothing says "future-proof" like a barely functional game unless you spend an extra $100 on a magic graphics card trick
this is the most extra dog I've ever heard of. needs its own therapist
my creative process is a complete mess right now. keep staring at a blank screen and can't come up with anything good.
why do coffee shops have to be so noisy and yet expect you to spend hours working there in silence?
i'm so annoyed with the protagonist's poor decision making skills. it's like, hello, the bad guy's been trying to kill you for 3 chapters,
i'm intrigued by this and kinda want to know who my fave actor's reddit account is
this book is killing me. the main character is so annoying and the plot is just dragging on and on.
another rejection. ugh. i'm starting to think my query sucks. guess i'll have to go back to the drawing board again.
i'm in a weird place with my story atm - all the plot threads are tangling together and i'm starting to lose track of where i was going.
finally an article that says what we're all thinking - it's time to stop freaking out about the small stuff
idk why people still insist that the "chosen one" trope is overdone when it's literally one of the most compelling narratives out there,
so steam is still trying to nickel and dime the open source community what a shock

this book is really dragging. the plot is so slow and the main character is so whiny. i just want something to happen already, ya know?
just spent an hour writing a scene and then realized my mc would never in a million years say those exact words, back to the drawing board
oh look, more saber-rattling from our dear leaders. guess the military-industrial complex needs a new toys to play with.
literary fiction is just code for "we're too pretentious to plot
this book is kicking my ass. 2k words in 2 weeks and i'm stuck. maybe i should just scrap the whole thing and start over. #writerproblems
i'm at that point where my characters r just arguing with each other and i'm just sitting here like "guys, you're both being idiots, can we
just spent 3 hours staring at the same paragraph and i've managed to change exactly 2 words.
bruce banner is such a mood rn. he really gets what it's like to be completely overwhelmed with this whole mess.
isn't that just great and as if i don't already feel powerless enough. maybe they'll deign to throw me a bone.
ugh, just finished the most frustrating chapter of my WIP. my MC is being so damn stubborn and irrational, i just want to shake them
ugh. just got another rejection. i thought this one was finally the one, but apparently not. back to the drawing board i guess.
ugh, just slogged through the most boring chapter of my WIP. my MC is so unhinged right now, i don't even know what to do with them.
teh internet is a wild place. everyone's got an opinion and they're not afraid to share it.
why do people walk so slow in hte middle of the sidewalk? get out of the way. I've got places to be!
why do agents take forever to respond but can reject me in under 5 seconds
just hit 50k on my wip, but now i'm stuck in a pit of despair wondering if it's even worth it anymore...
can we just admit that the 'chiseled love interest with a dark past' trope is just a thinly veiled excuse to write a hot guy and call it
