i have three responses to "how is your writing going"

1) it's not

2) it's going

3) i am ENTHUSED. i have been BLESSED with the POWER of the MUSES. i am an UNSTOPPABLE FORCE OF CREATION i am the MOST ULTIMATE OF ALL WRITERS

tip: You can write about the same character as many times as you want. Who's going to stop you? God?

Huskerdust writers after using “the spider” and “the feline” or something similar because the “hes” were getting confusing

me thinking that posting the first chapter will give me motivation to get more writing done:

I don’t write my characters, my characters write themselves and I just pick up the broken pieces left by their ill advised hijinks and repressed traumas and try to cobble them together into a coherent narrative

love when I'm writing and an administrative character is 'doing paperwork' or 'looking over his papers.'

Do I know what the papers are or what he's doing with them? Absolutely not, but the scene is set and you are immersed.

*friend lying awake in the dark at a sleepover voice* you ever think about how your self-insert characters can start out the same age as you but then you get older and leave them behind and they're trapped as teenagers forever while you get to look back from a position of adulthood and wonder how a literal child could have ever handled the plot they were in

*looks at my mountain of wips*

...okay. but. hear me out for a second.

The duality of writing; inflicting The Horrors on a character while mumbling 'man, that's terrible' to yourself.
