When you get to that part of writing where every word sounds clunky and writing more sentences is like pulling teeth. The descriptions way less elegant than the crisp movie playing in your head.

The feeling when you think you’ve plotted out a story fully, and then you start writing it and the huge(massive actually) holes in the outline becomes apparent.

(me explaining my entire plot for the next 10 chapters of anything I write 😭🤣)

How long is too long to spend choosing a name for a pet that you fridged and never appears in your story? 😅

Me: I’ve just got this quick little idea- Me: 2,000+ words later.

Returning to an old WIP and discovering random details about it. For example: 1. Regulus is alive here? Okay. Don’t remember that decision… 2. Why is Sophie blonde when I always picture her with dark hair? 3. I didn’t realize the boggart scene was that violent. I hope my readers were okay after that. 4. Gemma Farley is somehow an OC named Gemma Fawley, and also supports Grindelwald. Okay then… 5. Fem!Harry apparently has an academic rivalry with Hermione. Interesting. 6. CoMC is Slytherin/Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff/Gryffindor class now… Well, maybe that makes it easier for Hagrid? 7. I was really just throwing canon out the window here, wasn’t I?

Writing Lesson of the Day Fantasy prose, sometimes: “The obsidian haired warrior’s cerulean orbs shimmered with ineffable melancholy beneath the argent moonlight.” My Brother in Bhaal. He’s sad outside. I do love me some ineffable melancholy, though. [affectionate]

Feels like there’s something ironic about not being into the more unhinged parts of the Scooby-Doo franchise and then turning around to edit my Scooby-Doo fanfic, which is heavily referential to I Know What You Did Last Summer but the killer on the loose is pretending to be a local urban legend. Oh, and it’s still a goofy comedy. So there’s a murderer dropping bodies in a Halloween costume meanwhile Shaggy is doing a fart joke.

Done with my testtttt, writing here I come, unfinished fics here I come. Cower beneath me….muhahaahaha

Refinement Hiatus: Status Update Blackwell walks into the Chapter Lounge. The sound of a baseball bat hitting an open palm catches the attention of a few chapters in the room. They quickly leave. Chapters Two and Sixteen are huddled around a table sipping coffee. Two pauses, the brim of their coffee mug is resting on their lips. “Nice adjectives you got there… would be a shame if someone were to make your content more accessible.” A chapter ducks behind a whiteboard. “I see you Twenty One. You’re about to get fucked !”

Иногда мне кажется, что моя жизнь проходит слишком быстро, словно ускользает. Я чувствую себя уставшим и напряжённым из-за всего, что произошло. Но потом я вспоминаю, что я писатель, и тогда… МАРИК, ИДИ СЮДА! Я ДОБАВЛЮ ТЕБЕ ЕЩЁ 20 СОБЫТИЙ, ХАХАХАХА XDDDD
