Authors be like: “I’ll just fix one scene”
accidentally rewrites the whole book 😂📚

“Just one more chapter” turns into 3AM real quick… authors, we’re all guilty 😂📚

I'm truly hoping I get to write more about Parker someday. There are plenty of cryptids left and he still needs to find his birth family! For now, on to other stories!

Something is very wrong with me that I have to keep a cheat sheet : 'Character Names'. I have already mixed up the name of two side characters FIVE TIMES in this WIP.

I repeat- I NAMED THESE PEOPLE.

The slow burn is slow burning TOO slowly. They're in the same carriage. Alone. For hours. And they're arguing about POLITICS. I've lost control of my characters. #WritingStruggles

Dealing with resistance as a writer can be challenging. Check out ‘The War of Art’ by Steven Pressfield to ‘break through the blocks and win your inner creative battles’. #warofart #stevenpressfield #writingcommunity #writinglife #writingstruggles

The mathematical precision required to write a believable Regency ball scene: Who dances with whom, when, which dances, social implications. I need a spreadsheet. #WritingStruggles #Regency

Day 3 of this chapter: He's trying to tell her he loves her. She's explaining compound interest. Neither is listening to the other. This is realistic dialogue, right? #WritingStruggles

Today’s the first day in about a month I feel like writing or have anything resembling a creative spark. (My burnout has been bad) It’s not going to be much but I’m glad I can at least get a few hundred words down before breaking for lunch.

It’s easy to lollygag when you should be writing—one minute you’re opening your manuscript, the next you’re deep in internet rabbit holes. 🚶‍♂️ What’s your biggest writing distraction? #Lollygag #WritingStruggles #StayFocused #DesertMysticEditing

This hit HARD 😅 Ethan’s whole arc of finding every possible excuse not to write… yeah, that’s a little too real. Writers will do ANYTHING except the actual writing 😂✍️ #WritersLife #Relatable #WritingStruggles Full Review: youtu.be/eBtP9JlhXhQ

My characters keep having important conversations during balls. Do you know how hard it is to write meaningful dialogue around quadrille formations? #WritingStruggles #HistRom

Episode 4: the wRealistic Writer. When writing for long periods be sure to keep your workstation ergonomic. #writing #writingstruggles #writingcommunity

a bunch of crumpled paper on a desk with the word useless written on it ALT: a bunch of crumpled paper on a desk with the word useless written on it

When you've written entire worlds but it feels like no one is reading, it's easy to get depressed & feel like it's a waste of time. My motivation is just gone.

That feeling when you meant to write something down, you really did, but then you… didn’t🥲 #writingstruggles

Every writer has that one chapter that took 3 hours to write and 3 seconds to delete. Pro tip: Don't delete it. Copy that chapter in a document I like to call Dumpster Fire Chapters. You'll probably want one line or paragraph out of that hot mess in revisions. #WritersLife #WritingStruggles #Booksky

TFW you're about to switch to your focused writing playlist but then a banger comes on but you have to skip it anyway because you can't write with lyrics in your head </3 #amwriting #writingcommunity #writingstruggles #writesky

made it to 1.7k words and the smut hasn’t even started yet 🤪

#writingstruggles

I feel this so much! Those scenes leading up to the big moments are so important though.

How much blood do I need to sacrifice to the gods to convince them to give me the will and focus to finiSH THIS DAMN BOOK??

Asking for a friend. Thx.

Struggling with the first draft. Not happy with the current outline.

Going to scrap it and going back to the drawing board for Draft 1.8 (meaning my 8th attempt at a 1st draft).

Jordan and Alex have to feel like actual people, not just plot devices moving the story along. That's the challenge, making investigators who breathe on the page. #CharacterDevelopment #WritingStruggles #Thriller
