Oh, look, I made a fanfic writer version of the McDonald’s alignment chart.

Which one are you today?

i hate how reward systems never work for me like i can’t just say “if i finish this assignment i can have a cookie” bc my brain is like “…..or u could just have one right now” and i can’t argue with that logic

Self-imposed deadlines don’t work either because I know the guy who set them and he’s full of shit

landprince:

what if writers did streams like artists did

DO YOU KNOW THAT KIND OF WRITER’S BLOCK WHERE YOU ALREADY HAVE A PLOT, YOU KNOW WHAT TO WRITE BUT YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO WRITE IT AND YOU JUST STARE AT THE COMPUTER SCREEN FOR HOURS UNTIL YOU FINALLY CLOSE THE DOCUMENT AND CURSE YOUR ENTIRE EXISTENCE

CAUSE I DO

bimordred:

“(character) didn’t know what to say,” i write. it’s a lie. it’s me. i’m the one who doesn’t know what the heckers they would say

bisexualmollymauk:

half of fic research is rereading the fandom wiki four times for obscure character info and the other half is googling shit like “when did we start using drywall in home construction”

author’s note on fanfic ch4: i’ll probably have it updated by the end of this week!

author’s note on fanfic ch5: so i know it’s been two years but i can explain

I hate when I stop writing for a bit and then when I come back to a project it’s like the spell and flow is broken and I have no idea what to do with it
