HOW DO PEOPLE WRITE CONSISTENTLY. HOW. I SPENT 3 HOURS STARING AT A SINGLE SENTENCE YESTERDAY. meanwhile someone out there has written a trilogy this year and i am one (1) typo away from fighting god. send help.

I assume it’s important…

Kirjoittamisen tuska näköjään on oikeasti se kirjaimellisesti kirjoittaminen.

i have to stop reading immediately after writing

i'll finish my little short story or chapter or whatever I'm working on and I'll be like oh, i should reward myself with a book. and then i crack open a literary masterpiece and proceed to doubt every sentence i've ever written

After spending a month editing: I'm DONE. FREE. The shackles hath been broken. My story is the best it's gonna get, I have no more energy to continue.

Me in the shower 5 min later: But what IF I changed that one sentence in chapter 9...

the stages of writing a novel:

denial

bargaining

crying

people who say 'just write for yourself' (me) have never met the absolute demon that lives in my head (also me) and judges every single word i put on the page. i am writing for myself, and let me tell you, the audience of me is a tough critic. she’s like, 'this sentence is fine but not groundbreaking,' and 'are you really gonna use the word 'suddenly' again? pathetic.' like ma’am, i’m trying my best.

Kun editoin: Editoiminen on vaikeempaa kun kirjottaminen, kärsin mutta ehkä joskus pääsen taas kirjottamaan

Kun kirjotan: Kirjottaminen on vaikeempaa kun editoiminen. Mikä idiootti minä olin kun en sitä tajunnut
