WORDPRESS CHANGED THE PUBLISH UI AND I POSTED A REVIEW INSTEAD OF SCHEDULING IT. FFS. goddamit wordpress. The book doesn't come out til July, and I posted it today! #writingwoes

Picking a title for a novel is way too difficult. #writingwoes

I worked hard to have all my February Patreon stuff done so I can sit down and finish my novel and I keep finding more excuses not to write. Why am I like this?

#writer #writingwoes

January writing goal: Hit 20k
January word count: 15k
February writing goal: hit 30k
Current word count: 16k

So I didn’t hit my writing goal, but that’s okay, I still wrote! I have a new goal for February, let’s see how much I can do!

Rumor is that some writers can plot, write a story that follows that plot, and eventually land on a final draft that makes sense. I want to find these writers, shake them and demand they give me all their secrets. #writingwoes

That feel when the playlist hits just right and you have all the plot points for your novel.*

*It's the next novel and you haven't finished the current one.

The imposter syndrome is strong today. #writingwoes

I have nine writing projects, one of which is in the line-edits stage, but do I want to work on that one? Of course not. No, the one I keep going back to is nowhere close to sharing with other people. #writingwoes

It's annoying/inspiring when I'm writing a thing and I'm like 8 pages in when I realize changing the framework would make for an awesome reveal, but it would require a complete rewrite. #writingwoes

I'm working on a story that takes me out of my comfort zone. Because it makes me uncomfortable, it's hard to write. But also because it makes me uncomfortable, the story feels too good to let go. #writingwoes

*demon stands amid your destroyed work space* Demon: *booming* HOW? How were you able to summon me?! You (frantically clicking undo) *screaming and crying*: I don't know I was just trying to format an outline in Word. You were supposed to be bullet points.

That writing feeling when 150 words feels like 700 because you focus so hard 😥 #writingwoes #elfrootyvents

Lost my list of names for characters I'm adding and have to make new names 😭 I really liked the originals but I can remember only two of the five!

Finished another chapter! Time to celebrate by immediately worrying about the next one. #TheWritersWay #WritingWoes #writing #writinglife #writerslife #fictionwriting #amwriting #writinganovel #booksky #writesky

Being a writer: 10% inspiration, 90% perspiration, and 50% staring blankly at the wall. (Yes, the math is off. So is my brain.) #WritingWoes #writing #writinglife #writerslife #fictionwriting #amwriting #writinganovel #booksky #writesky

I speak fluent plot hole. It's a niche dialect only understood by other writers and very confused beta readers. #WritingWoes #writing #writinglife #writerslife #fictionwriting #amwriting #writinganovel #booksky #writesky

Writing woes: I only started querying this month yet why is it so hard. The impulse to check your email every few minutes is unlike any other! The query trenches is not for the faint of heart.

I'll be frank, writing the middle part for my WaveWave fic is so fucking difficult! qwq
I got the 'ending' ready and everything, the getting there part is KILLING MEEE!

#writingwoes #wavewavefanfic #Soundwave'sMixtape #ao3 #transformersfanfic

I should be writing

Now hear me out, what if instead

No

I spend the whole day designing a book cover on Canva for a completely different WIP?

No

In fact, I should make it a series

No

Lets GO!🏃‍♀️‍➡️

*A trilogy later* How did I get here? 👀

#WritingWoes #ADHDWriters

Sitting down to write...
- Makes 2-page bulleted list.
- Deletes 100 words.
- Sends a newsletter.
Yep, that sounds about right.

I've been putting off untangling a tangly chapter in my Dr. Cluny Macpherson biography but sat down and finally did it! #writingwoes

I just called my dog by the name of the main character in my WIP.

Fun Fact: It is not his name.

I sometimes have a hard time writing the orgasm parts in my stories, I write everything around them and then have to come back and finish those parts later. A little writer edge and denial if you will.

Being an indie author is 10% writing and 90% googling “how do I market a book without crying?” 😅

Chapter's not quite done yet, but up to 18.7k words now. I suspect things would move faster if I didn't obsessively keep going back to find random typos and weird sentences. People have like, editors that do that sort of thing--right? How do other fic writers get content out so fast?? #writingwoes

I cant write in public spaces. Especially when my characters are going through particularly emotional scenes because I tend to make micro expressions or mutter dialog under my breath like a lunatic.

#WritingWoes

When there is that one part where if you were watching it real time it would only take a few seconds but there is so much emotion, body language, and internalized thoughts & memories happening that it takes multiple pages to portray it properly in writing

#AmWriting #WritingWoes

When you keep missing a typo because you keep reading it how you originally thought it out in your head before you wrote it down so you are blind to it.

Suddenly everything is happening suddenly. I suddenly typed the word suddenly and now suddenly I have too many suddenlys. Send help.
