Me writing fics

zeroblogshere:

me in planning stages of writing: this fucks. this is gonna be so fun.

me the minute i sit down to write: language is an unwieldy cudgel we use to beat the human experience to death in an attempt at ever communicating fully with another being. i wish intelligent life had never evolved. i want to go back to the cell stage like in spore

“i’m going to get some writing done tonight,” i say confidently, crawling into bed at 7:15pm

“I am not going to be writing tonight,” I say firmly, before typing 837 words of fluff into the void against my will

actually it was 1583 words and half of it was angst so I’m twice a liar

I LOVE it when you finally figure out how your oc world works and have your story click together like a beautiful and ornate puzzle finally being completed and you feel the gears in your brain shift from realization to sheer power like

I just realized how cruel I am to my characters.

I hate that moment. Just doing something mean to them and then you feel that little pain in your heart and a voice in your head says: “You… monster!”

Me: *suffers a small ounce of writers block*

My brain: You’re losing your touch. You’ll never write anything again. You’re letting everybody down. The world will end because you can’t pick up a damn pen.

Found this while looking for something earlier and I feel called out lmao

emelkae:

I love pantsing novels

Every writing session is either the most violently disgusting dumpster fire I’ve ever seen, or near-polished gold in a neat little bow

good news! I finally have a bit of motivation

bad news! I have no clue what to write

my parents: so when are you gonna let us read your writing?

me: *sweating nervously and denying everything because now all I write is fanfiction*

Look I am a simple writer with simple needs.

I get an idea

I need to write it

But I don’t

First Lines

@briarfox13 has some good tagged things that I’ve decided to stealdo.

Sierra One Hundred Seventeen | Halo 4 - Master Chief

He stands there silent, staring at the armor bay’s gyroscope.

Axios! Ch. 1 | Halo: Reach (post) - Jun A266

Crossing over the threshold of his door had become an exhausting task. All it took was putting one foot in front of the other.

Axios! Ch. 2 | Halo: Landfall - Lt. Frëja Luka Sylvän Kirch E241

Bright light from the mid-morning sun cuts through the tattered canvas sheet I hung up in the window the previous night. I was desperate, alone, separated from my fireteam and I needed to get out of sight.

Good luck, Sir | Halo 4/5, Red vs Blue - Jun A266, Freelancer Vermont

The words echo in Jun’s head, louder than the hum coming from the ship’s systems. The UNSC Infinity, that’s where he is now; and he hates it.

A Private Moment On Deck | Fallout 4 - Nate x Maxson

“I TOLD you I had it!” Danse yells across the war table. His fists remained clenched as he glares across the table at Sentinel Nathaniel.

An Encrypted Farewell | Mass Effect 2 - Shepard Ashley Williams

Nathaniel’s fingers curled around the railing, hands shaking at the chill of the metal. Or was it the anxiety? He couldn’t tell the difference.

Come Back Home | Mass Effect AU - Alessa Shepard x Armando-Owen Bailey

Alessa’s skin glistens under the dimmed lights of her bedroom. Warm tones from the ceiling refract off the drops of sweat, sparkling like the stars that painted the sky.

Crossing A Line pt. 2 | Fallout 4 Long Fic w.i.p.

The steam billowed around at his feet as Nate stepped out of the shower stall.

Axios! Ch. 4 | Halo 4 (post) - Jun A266 x Frëja E241

Jun’s hand was mere centimeters from the access pad, when he heard it. He’s known that pain, hell he still has those days. The days where he wakes up screaming, sweat dripping from his brow with tears having stained the pillow in his sleep.
