Let us join together to create something where we makes fun of all the annoying problems we face while writing our novels and other works of art. for example:
Me: Writing in notebook, sets pencil down and glances away. Looks back pencil, gone. "Why meeeeeeeee!"
Me: *Has a really strong urge to write during times where I can't write, like at work or something*
Me: *Spends all day thinking about writing.*
Me: *Finally sits down with my laptop*
Me: I have never wanted to write anything ever.
Me: *Has perfect scene idea *
Me: *sits down to write it *
Me: wHaT aRe WoRdS?
Me: crying in the corner of my room
Mom: Walks in and sees me. "Honey, what's wrong?"
Me: "Roshiel and Taca just got in a fight and now they're not talking anymore."
Mom: Looking really confused. "But aren't those your characters?"
Me: "Well, yeah."
Mom: "Then why don't you fix the problem?"
Me: "No, they have to stay like this for a long time so they can make up in the best place, and it's not here."
Mom: "Than why are you crying about this?"
Me: "You wouldn't understand."
Working on a scene.
Suddenly realizes that there were some errors.
Changes grammar to my satisfaction.
Goes back to where I left off.
"Wait. Where was I going with this scene?"
ideas pop into mind all day
Plays out scenes of story in head for hours
goes to write it
Forgets it all completely
Me: look! My babies are finally getting together!
Friend: that's good right?
Me: yeah, too bad one of them is going to die and the other is going to become a villain.
kills off character
"I'm going to need a few minutes"
Me: Wow, I should really write something!
Me: Goes on every single website except for Docs
Me: Wow, I should really write something!
Me: Goes on every single website except for Docs
Alternatively:
Me: Wow, I should really write something!
Me: Having Google docs open in another tab while I browse tumblr and refresh Notebook for an hour still counts as writing, yeah? The intent is still there.
That last one is so relatable.

Me: Okay, let me write this minor detail in this scene…
Me: realizes that I don't know some fact that I need to know in order to write the scene
Me: Okay, let me just look that up really quick.
three hours later
Me, now an expert on a really obscure topic that I will never make use of again: Oh, right, where was I…?
Me, a few days later: ends up deleting the whole scene

Dude that is me right there, i can't control myself XD
buys a new notebook: i can't wait to start writing in it !! But what should i write?
stares at it for the next hour: you know what? Im just gonna set this over here
turns to look at all the perfectly unused notebooks that i keep buying and convincing myself that are too good to be written in
Me: I am now a master at identifying plants used for medicinal purposes.
My family: Why on Earth do you need to know this?
Me: It was for my book.
Me: I'm gonna write the best story ever!
Also me: What the fuck even is this piece of shit?

I am willing to answer any question to the best of my ability.
Might track you down later!
Me (though this is also cause I'm a practicing witch.): I need more crystal books, I need my laptop for crystals.
My Fam: Why the hell are you so obsessed?
Me: I have a species thats completely made out of crystals and which crystal youre made of makes your job
My Fam: so you're copying Steven univ-
Me: do not speak that name in this household.
Me: My story doesn't have to be 100% accurate with everything! It's a small detail. No one will notice.
Also me: *reads a wikipedia article about the history of wrapping paper just to make sure*
Me: gets idea for a story and quickly comes up with characters and plot Finally now i can start writing
Me: starts writing and realizes the villains are either really bad or the motivations are weak oh-
7 yrs later
Me: holding newly created villain like in the Lion King I HAVE FINALLY CREATED A GOOD VILLAIN restarts writing, realizes the old plot sucks
Me: fuck
Me: I have a great idea for a Monster Hunter fanfic! They'll be able to ride monsters that they either capture or raise from an egg!
Proceeds to forget about it for a few years.
Monster Hunter Stories comes out, a game in which you can ride monsters that you raise from eggs.
Me: …Fuck. It was MY idea, first!
