Gen AI is nothing special I can also draw / write badly, help you with math inconsistently, answer you dubiously, and consume amounts of water you would think are physically impossible

It's crazy that the boy who thought jumping off a bridge into ditch water was a good way to ask someone to fight him was the only one who was like "well I guess I'll just go to where he lives and check up on him." Suo really did have the only common sense brain cell of that class.

suo made the mistake of getting involved with the main character’s nonsense on the very first day of school and he hasn’t had a full night’s sleep since

The specific pain of having the perfect sentence arrive in your head at the exact moment you cannot write it down. driving. shower. falling asleep. never at the desk. never when the document is open. i have lost more good sentences to the gap between the bed and the phone than i have ever actually written.

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.

just remembered suo's best subject is chemistry. he knows 5 languages but his best subject isn't english or japanese, but chemistry

A non-writer asked me "but where do you get your ideas" and i genuinely did not know how to explain that it's not a place. it's not a website. it's not a folder. it's that i was on the bus and a woman was holding a paper bag very carefully and something about the way she held it made me need to know what was inside and then i needed to know why she was sad about it and then there was a whole person and then there was a whole story and the bus had already stopped and i missed my stop. that's where.

Something something Umemiya's catchphrase being "leave it to your big brothers" vs. Suo being the youngest in rc and having the most responsibility

Writing is just aggressively whispering “Suffer.” at fictional people and then crying about it like it wasn’t your fault.

POV: You just wanted to write a silly little one shot and now it turned into a high-complex novel that demands you to expand it onto 80 chapters. 🙂
