Endless Masquerading

Being a writer is hearing a new song, going "oh no", and surfacing a week and a half later with 50,000 words added to your WIP while you have lost track of time, space, food, and social obligations

your draft isn’t bad. it’s just going through its awkward teenager phase. let it wear a hoodie and slam its door.

My hobbies include reading, writing and doing neither of those things

What they don't tell you about writing is that as you write, you discover scenes and entire plots that you hadn't accounted for that need to be written. So you can spend two hours writing and editing only to realise you're further away from the finish line than you thought you were when you started

writing isn’t hard it’s just emotionally devastating and time-consuming and requires full body possession by an idea

writing is so funny because i could write nonstop for 9hrs and then hit a block where im like "how do i transition between this moment and the next?" and then i just dont touch it for 6 months
