being a writer is so stressful. your mind is often empty or full only of disconnected ideas and then boom: it’s 3:00 a.m. and you have the urge to write 200 pages in one sitting.
writers will really have a doc titled ‘fic planning’ and then it’s just blank
writers will say “i’m going to write!” and then do something else with the doc open in the background
writers will literally put out the most heart-wrenching and devastating piece of fiction that’s a million times better than the source and go haha hope you liked :)
writers will have a life changing event happen to them (married, natural disaster, accident etc etc) and then still manage to put out an incredible fic and go ‘sorry this was 0.394838373 seconds late guys :(‘
writers will go ‘love writing!’ and then don’t write for 10 years
anyway i love writing and i love writers
What a callout
May I add
Two writers will get together, talk for several hours about their wips, make themselves very emotional
And then open a blank document and write down none of it

Okay, It Isa Plot Hole, What Are You Going to Do, Cry about It?

All Works of Fiction Represent Constructed Realities and by Demanding a Lack of Plot Holes, You Are Improperly Importing the Rules of Objective Reality into a Subjective Creation that Must Be Judged Primarily on Its Aesthetic Merits

Is It Really a Plot Hole, or Are the Characters Just Not Making the Choices YouWant Them To?

It May Be A Plot Hole But We Refuse To Answer On Grounds We May Incriminate Ourselves (So Lets Shove It Under The Carpet And Hope No One Notices)
