Dealing with resistance as a writer can be challenging. Check out ‘The War of Art’ by Steven Pressfield to ‘break through the blocks and win your inner creative battles’. #warofart #stevenpressfield #writingcommunity #writinglife #writingstruggles
The mathematical precision required to write a believable Regency ball scene: Who dances with whom, when, which dances, social implications. I need a spreadsheet. #WritingStruggles #Regency
Day 3 of this chapter: He's trying to tell her he loves her. She's explaining compound interest. Neither is listening to the other. This is realistic dialogue, right? #WritingStruggles
Today’s the first day in about a month I feel like writing or have anything resembling a creative spark. (My burnout has been bad) It’s not going to be much but I’m glad I can at least get a few hundred words down before breaking for lunch.

It’s easy to lollygag when you should be writing—one minute you’re opening your manuscript, the next you’re deep in internet rabbit holes. 🚶♂️ What’s your biggest writing distraction? #Lollygag #WritingStruggles #StayFocused #DesertMysticEditing
This hit HARD 😅 Ethan’s whole arc of finding every possible excuse not to write… yeah, that’s a little too real. Writers will do ANYTHING except the actual writing 😂✍️ #WritersLife #Relatable #WritingStruggles Full Review: youtu.be/eBtP9JlhXhQ
My characters keep having important conversations during balls. Do you know how hard it is to write meaningful dialogue around quadrille formations? #WritingStruggles #HistRom
Episode 4: the wRealistic Writer. When writing for long periods be sure to keep your workstation ergonomic. #writing #writingstruggles #writingcommunity
When you've written entire worlds but it feels like no one is reading, it's easy to get depressed & feel like it's a waste of time. My motivation is just gone.

Every writer has that one chapter that took 3 hours to write and 3 seconds to delete. Pro tip: Don't delete it. Copy that chapter in a document I like to call Dumpster Fire Chapters. You'll probably want one line or paragraph out of that hot mess in revisions. #WritersLife #WritingStruggles #Booksky
TFW you're about to switch to your focused writing playlist but then a banger comes on but you have to skip it anyway because you can't write with lyrics in your head </3 #amwriting #writingcommunity #writingstruggles #writesky
I feel this so much! Those scenes leading up to the big moments are so important though.

Struggling with the first draft. Not happy with the current outline.
Going to scrap it and going back to the drawing board for Draft 1.8 (meaning my 8th attempt at a 1st draft).

Jordan and Alex have to feel like actual people, not just plot devices moving the story along. That's the challenge, making investigators who breathe on the page. #CharacterDevelopment #WritingStruggles #Thriller
Not wanting to admit my antagonist is more interesting than my protagonist...
#AmWriting #WritingStruggles #WritersLife
Because sometimes the story we imagine is smooth and cinematic… and what ends up on the page is more awkward chaos than cool composure.
Who else feels this? 🙋♀️🙋♂️
