Flameflier404 - A Writing Dumpster Fire

to any readers or writers who see this, reblog with the weirdest line you’ve ever written or read (fanfic counts!). I’ll start: “‘Well, fuck me gently with a chainsaw’”

Writing

Is really difficult. Give yourself a break every once in a while. I’ve been on break from starting writing my main wip for over a year, and I still procrastinate the hell out of it. Writing takes time. Let it happen on its own

When the normal brain says sleep but the neurodivergent brain says “okay, but…” and proceeds to give a fuck ton of ideas to fill in p(l)otholes in the book

they work half the time. It would also be useful if I could remember them. And which story they belong to out of the three I haven’t abandoned yet

I can’t be the only one who does this

okay, so. I have my main wip, but it’s barely my main any more because of an AU I created of my own work.

I also make headcannons of the characters, forgetting I’m the creator.

Why…

I can imagine what I want to write and how I want it to go, but words simply cannot be manifested onto the page.

so I’m left with the dreaded blinking cursor. A line that stares at me without mercy, mocking me, taunting me, temping me to write when it knows I can’t.

it’s even worse if they have similar characteristics, like same hair color or smth similar.

I write a lot sibling scenes, it’s painful

„The hardest thing to write is heartbreak/the end/ect.“

Nah man, the hardest thing to write is a long scene about two people with same gender, without overusing their name. That is hardcore.

EPIC: The Musical is a fucking bomb. Seriously, it’s good

but also, listening to it all the way through is not helpful in trying to remember the songs, especially when the brain switches up the lyrics

My brain went: “Let’s see where you’ve been! When does a man become a meteor?” And I’m like “No, it doesn’t work that way.” And the visual in my head is Mr. Jalapeño shoving MICO then the cast rowing during the livestream of the cast listening to it

Yep. Either this or random scenes for an already existing series I’m writing.

When I say I’m writing what I really mean is I’m thinking about the prologue and second half of the plot in extreme detail before considering the idea of what happens in the beginning, coincidentally making it so I get nothing done.
