Abridged Terry Pratchett quote "The first draft is just you telling yourself the story.” Very disheartening, I was hoping I'd be done now personally, please #booksky #WritingCommunity
After another week of struggling over manuscripts and feeling pressured to be creative in a society that does not at all nurture such a quality, I am once again seriously considering becoming addicted to the perfidious substance known as adderall #booksky #WritingCommunity
“The scariest moment is always just before you start. After that, things can only get better” — Stephen King It seems to me that Stephen here has a misconception about how much better it can get, likely because he is a good writer. Personally, after the start comes the shame #WritingCommunity
Wrote another chapter, 2000 words, flowed like rusty nails out of a small pipe, life is good #booksky #WritingCommunity
Sometimes my mind is blown at the innovativity shown in modern fiction, keep slaying authors #booksky #WritingCommunity
Alas thas already capsized, back to the fishes I go!
It's my full-time job so no such breaks, quite a lot of pressure to perform every week, alas, it is the best job ever so all worth it. Burns you out quite fast writing 3-4 chapters a week though, need a mini-break every month
Wrote 1 chapter today, 2600. Flows like water, life is good #booksky #WritingCommunity
Never done nano, am not aware of controversies. 100k100days sounds completely insane to me, but I believe in you!
legendary chapter length
cool potatos, will remember friendo
No more personal contacts, that shit stays on whatsapp
I have reached the peak of 21st century grind-set. The last two emails I have are from my accountant, one month apart.
Yeah, we're a team, got it all. You got users, we got experience. The other two founders are advertising the design side more because i still have to take care of my writing biz. We used to be in fintech but got out when it got toxic when the pandemic started Khajit has cheap rates if u have coin;)
Link?
I just have an app that blocks stuff on my phone and try to close the laptop when im done working. Doesnt always work haha
And yours?
Pretty well, it's my full-time job lol, although I am also helping found a UX design agency for some additional job security
Warm up for november 😂
The more you manage to avoid dopamine depleting short-form activities, the more creatively you will write
Thats one big chapter! Are all the chapters tha long or just the first
Issue with scents is that they're very local whereas people live very globally. Can mention the pine trees on the adriatic coast but most people won't know what exactly I mean. I tend to stick to universal smells like car exhaust or fart
Good job!
Me literally every day
Starting over on a new platform feels like starting a blank canvas. A little intimidating, a little exciting. Writers, what do you do when you feel invisible online? #CreativeStruggles #WritersBlock #ArtistBlock #WritingCommunity #Relatable
Just talk to people Hi :)
Lt. Surge would like to know your location
I read kindle haha
Congrats!
It's a distinct possibility as long as you try!
Bon courage
Wow thats like a third of the cost of dinner in zurich
Yep, psychonalaytic concepts as seen through a marxist perspective in MYORAR. I wouldn't say its a great book, but it has a certain vibe, which makes it easier to write about. The MC is a horrible person and its okay to quit any book for any reason. I often quit reading a book at the last ch
Is a hard read at times but very nice to analyse
Wrote my ba thesis on this book lol
Very evocaive imagery
You can celebrate the independance day of the countries celebrating their independance from britain, easy 20 new holidays

In my experience, a writer who hasn't lived in interesting places or talked to interesting people, and looked in the eye of the evil of the world, doesn't have much interesting to say. #booksky #WritingCommunity
Born to eat but forced to shit, this is how I sometimes feel about wanting to be an artist but not wanting to actually show anyone my art (Doing so gives me the money to actually continue making it) #booksky #WritingCommunity
Day 5 of never having finished a book. A 20 min meditation session has joined my morning stretch, just to make that I absolutely don't start my day with actually writing. I am 26, how much will my body and mind be breaking down when I'm actually over 30? #booksky #WritingCommunity
It also sounds like PCOS
I mean i would too, everyone looks like theyre having a lot of fun
Patreom regulates my income stream, thank god
Get in line buddy 😂
I'm still standing, stronger than I ever did. Looking a true survivoe, feeling like a little kid dududududu
Did he live?
Looks awesome
Wow, looks like a picture zoomed out
The handwritig really suffered after school ended haha
One of my biggest passions in art has always been to parody a genre, a great commentary on how most of my thinking is derivative and unoriginal. BUT, with this passion I can speak to other jaded people who have consumed so much content they now require ANTI-CONTENT #booksky #WritingCommunity
When I was a young boy my father drank six beers and beat my ass (true) Approximately 1 in 4 children will experience abuse in their life (sad) Crazy statistic I found out while researching for my book Oda was right, tragic backstories have to go hard, or else its just the norm #WritingCommunity
Oh yeah that is one tradition, true
Joined, lets see
#writing #writingcomunity #words #spelling #writers
Reminds me of dragon age character cards
It also warms my heart that all assholes I've ever met go home to get called loser by their parents ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I honestly didn't even know there were traditions, no two books seem the same to me
Good luck
Always have to do this when a murder happens in my book, gotta stay clean morally
It's reviews like this that keep me on the ground, running. It's clear I've never moved beyond the kindergarten stage of needing someone to call me inspiring and innovative to actually want to do something. #booksky #WritingCommunity
Only if you already have a brand or can win a length specific competition with it
Day 4 of never having finished a book. Just finished a 30 min yoga session so my body not be awua awua. Now time to get to work #booksky #WritingCommunity
Its a scam, they will take the upfront money and run or give you some ai shit
Literally me
Wow so detailed
Arguably one of the worst moments of any day
Stone cold
Been working on my YA novel for 50 years
Day 3 of never having finished a book, I was sick last week so even my procrastination got delayed by the throat infection. Thank you body, you are my greatest ally #booksky #WritingCommunity
Damn thanks
“You can make anything by writing.” — C.S. Lewis I think he switched some words around here. I'd more go with "You can write anything," but maybe I'm just a pessimist. #booksky #WritingCommunity
Why is it that everytime I try to check #booksky someone is trying to sell me something, I’m here for your memes, not your dreams
Me last week: Manga: Good night PunPun Non-fiction book: Man's search for meaning Narrative non-fiction: we children from Bahnhof Zoo Me this week, depressed. I fucking wonder why #booksky
Its a tough hobby sometimes.
Truly a writer's moment of all time
What about sex on an inclined elevator
Me on my 6th isekai story, ey, stay in your lane buddy, this one's taken 😂😂😂
Wow guess i got quite statistically lucky

I had a professor of Jewish Studies at UChicago who made the administration very angry because every year he made a proposal for the university to create an on-campus memorial to the worldwide victims of the UChicago economics department.
True

Maya Angelou famously said that there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. This prompts me to believe that she never ate at a wedding all-you-can-eat buffet and then suffered constipation for two days afterwards. Lucky. #booksky #WritingCommunity
Me explaining the plot of "good night punpun" to my mom when I was 16. (She didn't get it, I got sent to a catholic summer school, sad) #booksky #manga #oyasumipunpun
Day 3 of never having finished a story: It looks like a book is hard to finish impulsively. Seems more a year-long project. Let's see how my gen z brain can handle the challenge¨ #writingcommunity
Day 2 of never having finished a story: This is torture, how do other people do it. I've been taking a mental break to recover my creativity the whole day but it just makes me feel like I'm walking backwards
