This is literally me. I can’t even write more than 3 sentences without saying “who the fuck do I think I am to even be writing!? This is not only terrible, but I’m some sort of pretentious douche that I think someone should read what I created!”
Comments don’t count as writing to me apparently lol
I hate that moment when you’re writing and you suddenly forget how your own language works.
Or when you spell a word and there’s no red squiggly line to say it’s spelled wrong but you swear that’s not how it’s supposed to look. Then add random letters to the end to test if the spellcheck is working and it confirms you spelled it right the first time.
Yesterday I was trying to write out ‘inconspicuous’ and my brain short circuited. Could not remember what word I was trying to spell, how to say it, I couldn’t conjure it on the white board in my head. It was like it was suddenly purged from my memory.
Don’t feel bad when you need to go to duckduckgo and search “third person singular of to be,” it happens to the best of us uwu
Me: Alright, time to get down the basics of my idea so I can flesh it out further once I’ve gotten the outline worked out!
Also me: I have been writing for ten minutes and this isn’t on par with Shakespeare. Time to crawl in a whole and never write again.
I literally always feel unmotivated when I read through first draft material. It sounds stupid in my head, sounds like I’m rambling, nothing makes sense, I’m a horrible writer.
So I just don’t and I hate myself for it. I need to teach myself to just push through it and actually go through an editing process.
it’s the complete opposite for me. i just shit out some words and at some point it’s good enough and i hit save and i never look at it ever again
granted i never write anything worth reading so that may be why
Hmmm I’m pretty sure this also applies to me, my brains says so at least. Everyone can be imperfect, not me though.
