writer problems

• fighting with a sentence for literal hours before realizing that it works fine enough on its own
• asking advice for pieces you will probably never publish, leaving your readers hanging, wondering why the hell you needed to know what getting your ass squeezed felt like
• realizing you have no less than three fics/updates complete but can’t publish any of them for various reasons
• dialogue
• just
• fuckin
• dialogue
• blank word documents
• babbling excitedly to yourself about new aus that will never see the light of day
• getting really invested in these aus but not having a plot with which to bring them to life
• crippling self-hatred and doubt
• rediscovering really old documents that are literally just one or two lines of dialogue and wondering where the fuck your past self was going with them
• rediscovering really old documents that have entire scenes in them and realizing you still really like the concept of those fics but being unsure of how to continue them from there
• redundancy
• knowing you should edit your pieces but being unable to bring yourself to give a fuck
• deciding that your 20 wips can totally take a backseat to the shiny new idea you just got like 5 minutes ago
• forgetting your entire vocabulary
• sitting down and writing 2k of your new idea before you realize the internal logic doesn’t work
• wondering if you can find enough fucks to care
• finding enough fucks to care
• digging through 2k of brain-excretion to find the specific phrases where the logic falls through and trying to fix them
• failing
• giving up and jumping to the next shiny new idea instead of working on any of your now 21 abandoned wips
