I’ve always been one of those writers that scoffs at others for getting so deep into world building that they neglect the story they are actually trying to tell, but here I am, world building and still story-less… #WriterWoes

The ache and bubbling anxiety. An invisible fist compressing the solar plexus. The looming doom of it all, accompanied by the never-ending cycle of hoping a stranger will find your work worthy. #QueryLetterStress #WriterWoes

This #LaffyTaffy sent me 😭 IRL, authors need an editor, marketing and advertising, a cover, and about 976 more things 💀

It's time to write the sad ending and I don't want to, but I'm going to. #amwriting #Writerwoes #WritersLife

I know I'm trying to improve as a writer but I'm still not happy with my writing and I'm still working on my ability to see it as being worthwhile enough to publish and for people to buy it. #writerwoes #i'mtrying #impostersyndrome

I hate it when a book I need (for researching my novel) is from an academic publisher & costs over $120 and the InterLibrary Loan copy won't get to me for 6-8 weeks. [Inserting swears here].

Grrr...I have something I want to write about, but I can't figure out exactly what I want to say or how I want to say it. #WritersBlock #WriterWoes

Authors with plot twists+reveals in their books who are trying to advertise while keeping it spoiler-free 😅

Wish it were that easy, lol. But I don't respond to reviews either way. I know you're supposed to thank people for their reviews where you can, but I am very self-critical so when I see bad ones, it hits harder than for some people.

I'm trying to work on the last chapter of A King's Betrayal and trying to wrap everything that happened in the first 3 chapters has been so hard T_T. I'm not sure exactly how I want to end it either and extending it one more chapter has not helped. #writerwoes

Why is writing endings so hard sometimes T_T. I'm trying to figure out how to end a short story I'm working on but it is just out of my grasp. #writerslife #writerwoes #endingsarehard

Updating a fic for the first time in a year makes me feel both amazing and as a failure.

Writing is hard.

To all you other writers out there: have you ever read something you wrote long, long ago, back when you were really just starting to get serious about your storytelling, and cringed as you read it? And then promised yourself you would rewrite it, but better? #WriterWoes #AuthorsTales #Storytellers

Rejected again? I'm starting to think my story is allergic to acceptance letters! 😂 Time to slather on some revision ointment and try a different market. The submission saga continues! #rejectionclub #writerwoes #keepingitreal

I feel you. #writerwoes

Ignored my chores to write a measly one paragraph in my WIP #writerwoes

I have never spelled a word wrong it's just that some words refuse to be spelled correctly. Looking at you, everything with an eau or ieu. X isn't even a real letter anyway #writerwoes

Why do I come up with seasonal story ideas AFTER the season is over?

#WritingCommunity #WriterWoes #WriterSky

A long hiatus from writing, drawing, or creating because of things that are happening in your life, or because you just *can't*, does not make you any less of a creator than anyone else.

Sometimes, there's a very long winter before spring returns. #writingthings #writerwoes #tiredtm

Life can be hard. #booklife #writerwoes #bookreader #lovebooks

I have adulting to do before writing. Let’s talk about cookies - maybe it will help pass the time. #ToDoList #writerwoes #WannaWrite #WIPcalling

I'm all over the place at the moment. Half writing comments then losing them. I'm not blocked in the traditional sense of writer's block, more kinda Three Stooges all trying to go through a door at the same time kinda blocked. #writerwoes

I'm sharing my idea b/c I'm hoping for a nudge in a forward direction from a fellow creative, not a sudden surge of doubt on if I'm a good writer or not.

I don't want someone ELSE to write it. *I* want to write it!

I want SUPPORT, not get cut down! 2/2 #writerwoes

#WriterWoes
I believe I’ve developed “tennis elbow” from writing, typing, and clicking… is this possible???

what is the worst part of writing and why is it titling. (my beloathed.) #writingcommunity #writerwoes

I have a bad habit of writing bits and pieces of my story I'm writing and then go oh fuck how do I put these together to make a coherent story that makes sense and not 10-50 pieces that have minimal connections. #writerwoes #writerslife #iamachaoticwriterok

When a word I want do use doesn't mean what I think it should mean but sounds more melodious than the word I should be using. 😔 #writinginDutch #writerwoes

#writerwoes I have been in the writing dumps. My Ko-Fi has been on hold for six months-ish and I owe a commission due back in June.

Part of this is due to med shortages cutting me off cold turkey. Which had me sleeping 20 hrs a day for 2 months. Readjusting to them has not gone well.
