writer culture is reading the most incredibly, breathtakingly, inspiringly written fic ever and you get to the author's notes and it's something like "oh, this is my first fic, i apologise for any mistakes ;-;" or "yeah this is a casual work i bullshitted in under an hour at 2:53 a.m. directly into the ao3 text editor with zero proofreading. sorry it sucks"

write your fanfiction before the hyperfixation’s gone

fun fact about me is I have no money. every month I spend it all on house I don't own

wait no not a fun fact. this fact sucks. sucks fact

please note that when i say 'i wrote this in a week' it actually means it completely vacated my mind for 6 days and then on the 7th day i was possessed by a bolt of maniac intensity and wrote the entire thing in a day

two things that can and should coexist: writing fanfiction for yourself as a form of self-care slash comfort and appreciating kind comments given by your readers, as well as using these encouraging comments as a source of motivation to write more fics

the authors who write "sorry for any mistakes" at the end of their 200k word fic that's better than half the published books I've read. bestie you just gave me a whole novel for free with perfect characterization. I'll forgive a typo

my toxic trait as a writer is that I’ll be like “I have free time. I am going to write right now” and then I. don’t

Being a writer is wild because one minute you’re convinced you’re a genius and the next you’re googling ‘synonyms for walk’ like you’ve never used language before.

adult friendships are so dumb like yeah i think i can find a time to hang. how’s february 17th at 4pm

There’s a difference between a female character who exists in a story and has a romantic relationship with a male character versus a female character who exists in a story to have a romantic relationship with a male character
