the realization that the unhealthy trait you’ve given your favorite oc for funsies is actually something you unintentionally do is like watching a five year old innocently and perfectly mimic your bad habits

the author’s barely disguised love, joy and passion that they have for the characters, writing and their stories

most tragic thing about wanting to see more stuff of your oc is that the c is o and YOU have to make the stuff. devastating. why can’t art of my beautiful baby just appear in my hands. just materialize under my pillow, like from the tooth fairy

never stop being obnoxious about fictional character online. you will find like-minded people and it will literally save you

"i think", i say, about my own ocs, who i made,

i would finish my book but sadly i am busy being haunted by the concept of finishing my book

my body is a machine that makes headaches

I think the reason writers are so weird about their wips is because explaining a story before it's done is like showing someone a dream. it made total sense five seconds ago. it was vivid and real and it meant something. now you're saying the words out loud and watching the other person's face and the whole thing is just. evaporating. "it's about a woman who...okay there's also a house..." and the dream is gone. you killed it by looking at it. don't tell anyone about your wip.
