Name a scene in a movie / show that made your standards for love WAY too high

Anyone else feel like they’re living a secret life by being a writer? Like I just go about my normal life, while most people I meet have no idea that I’m an author with actual published books. No, just me?

English teachers: this is the most profound thing ever known to mankind. The author was so deep and philosophical and-

Authors: I wonder what would happen if I wrote a book composed of all my childhood trauma

Being a writer is really just having this one scene in your head that you want to write and then crying about the 50 thousand other words you have to write to get to that scene

I find it extremely disrespectful that if I want my story to exist, I have to be the one to write it. Like, why can’t it just appear the moment I think of it?

They always say to ‘write the book you want to read’ but they never told me it’s because I’d have to reread it 2949492 times

Random person: what’s this you’re working on?

*points to the most deranged, traumatising story known to mankind*

Author: oh, this is just my silly little side project. I do it when I need a lighthearted break

The human brain is fascinating. It works overtime when you’re trying to sleep, but the moment you sit down to write, every cell just leaves your brain

Random person: oh so you’re a writer? How do you write so many words?

Me: uhhhh, I don’t

‘Write while you’re tired’ they said.

‘Any words are good words’ they said.

Every writer should get into some form of exercise because it’s important to have a hobby you hate even more than writing

“I love my characters” I say as I put them through the worst torture known to mankind

Girls don’t want flowers, we want a secret session with Taylor Swift while she sings us all our favourite songs and bakes us cookies

Whoever is writing my slow burn romance, I would appreciate it if you hurried up. It’s been 18 years now. The readers are getting impatient

Everyone’s heard of “pretend you’re dating me for this family event so that my relatives stop asking mr why I’m single” but I need somebody to write “pretend you’re dating me because you’re exactly the kind of person my family would HATE and I want to annoy them”

Having a bad memory as a writer is so nice because theres nothing better then reading something amazing and then realising that you actually wrote it

Problems only writers understand
