i’m just imagining if fic writers streamed like artists do

quoth-the-ravenclaw:

• a blinking cursor on an otherwise completely blank word document
• red squiggles everywhere because your laptop doesn’t recognize any of the character names
• an endless trek through thesaurus.com trying to figure out the word that’s on the tip of your tongue that you just can’t remember
• typing a word, deleting it, 20 minutes pause while you try to come up with something better, then giving up and retyping the same word
• doing a quick google for research purposes and then accidentally ending up 30 articles deep in wikipedia with a new found expertise on Polish trade practices during the 1800s
• giving up halfway through the chapter and making PLACEHOLDERS IN ALL CAPS CUZ YOU CAN’T BE BOTHERED TO FIGURE THIS FUCKING PART OUT RIGHT NOW
• deleting entire paragraphs
• panicking and frantically hitting ctrl+z
• an endless string of G’s because you passed out on your keyboard at 3 am

Reblog if you’d be willing to watch a stream of me writing a fic 

💃

Watch me write three sentences, then refresh tumblr for 15 minutes.

watch me write a sentence and then reward myself by reading old comments as reassurance that I am in fact skilled enough to do this

watch me research weird shit

watch me start to make a reference post for all the weird shit I find and then delete it because that’s just way too nerdy and no one’s going to care
