#write sober edit drunk

[elsmaster]

"It burns, like plunging through ice into freezing water, breathless, frantic. It burns, like reaching too close to fire and stepping away just before it really grabs you by the hand. It burns, like eyes full of dust and lungs filled with whatpleasesyou."

Here's what happens when your heart breaks.

I know it's been said to write drunk and edit sober, but I've had two seltzers and now I'm just sad, a little horny, and I can't remember how to spell anything correctly

me, hyperfixated, writing analysis: hohoho these are such great discoveries and I've explained them sooo clearly

me, no longer hyperfixated, reading my own analysis wip after not touching it for 2 months:

#what crack was I on when I wrote this #because I physically cannot resume work on this project until I'm Like That again #me @ me: nat I'm simply not reading alla that <3 #this is like seeing what it's like for someone else to read my posts. thank you all for putting up with me #hemingway write drunk edit sober I guess #shitposts

upon the night i fell

my wings were torn from my skin

i was bleeding and burnt

yet i still i tried

to fly back to you

i wanna be a fic writer so bad to improve my writing skills and my english in general but everything i write just always ends up being very angsty and a chore to write, how do you motivate yourself to write longer stuff and actually have fun while doing it? 

ahhh this is such a tough question. just because I can only really speak for myself, I guess?

the really important thing here for me is that first and foremost the process of writing anything has to be enjoyable. otherwise why bother? I have to focus on the doing of it, not the product or end goal or really any awareness of how it reads back. like yes, that should be somewhere in the back of my mind but during the actual act of writing there's sort of a flow state you have to get into. before anything else, writing is a form of self-expression.

I think it might be a slightly different case for you, since you also want to do it to improve your english. creative writing's an awesome way to do that, and I think it's a great idea. so maybe it's not that you're doing it only for the enjoyment and self-expression of it, but I think the same principle still holds. you can't be agonizing over every single word as you're writing it. you sort of have to let go. I always think of the first draft of anything as just telling myself the story. later drafts are for figuring out how to tell it to someone else. so let that first draft be angsty, so long as it's not a chore. that's what edits are for.

#a lot of words to basically boil down to: write drunk edit sober

[shmothman]

honestly most of my best fics are the ones i fever-wrote at midnight bc i thought of the idea as i was falling asleep and didn’t want to let it slip by

#I’ll spend weeks on a 10k fic and then bang out a 3k oneshot in one night #write drunk edit sober but it’s write sleepy edit awake #anyway anyone wanna get wizard high with the ghost weed guy? no? just me? #sef speaks

"be the change you want to see," i mutter to myself as i write completely self-indulgent Bruce Banner-centric PTSD fic after finding Ao3 Severely Lacking

#bruce banner #im rewatching the incredible hulk if u couldnt tell #and dont get me wrong ruffalo is the best hulk #but also #theres like. no bruce centered fics focusing on his ptsd #literally in the incredible hulk 2008 he has ptsd nightmares and hes super touchy #hes the epitome of anger issues lol #and as someone with tightly controlled anger issues die to severe ptsd i need more bruce fics pls #therefore: the original post #be the change you want to see #i want to see more bruce centric fics that talk abt his ptsd so im writing them #given i am a teensy bit drunk #but in the immortal words of Ernest Hemingway: write drunk; edit sober #good philosophy lol #again as someone with crippling (literally) ptsd thats fucking great advise lol #anyway. #this is just one of approximately 8 million wips so no guarantee ill finish anytime soon #but im def writing it thats for sure

writing fanfiction drunk my beloved

#write drunk edit sober as the girlies say #alcohol cw

[xxxc4nn1baa-0declxx]

He knew her like he knew the sun

She was bright, all-consuming

He said she lit up his world

And for that, he was blinded by her

For he could not see

When she stopped letting him close

He knew her like he knew the moon

She was tame, unknown

He said she soothed his mind

And for that, he was in the dark

For he could not see

How her affections dwindled

He knew her like he knew the stars

She was a mystery, distant

He said his love for her was infinite

And for that, he chose to stay blind

For he would not see

How she did not love him

me: writes britishisms in my story, the rest of which is written in american english

computer program: you can't do that

me: watch me, bitch! i'm indian

#ooc;; #i did middle school / jr high in india so i sometimes spell colour and armour differently than other ppl #and don't get me started on date order #i get confused with both tbh #i have to say it aloud in my head to figure out which it is #but other than that i've finished scene 1 ch 2 editing wise #which i find surprising how long it was #but all the awkward shit is gone and it's much smoother and more sense making #sometimes when ur tired u just HAVE to get thru the writing #and when u sober up and are glowing with health u gotta figure out what drunk with exhaustion u tried to say #at least i'm not entirely stupid when i'm tired LMAO #b/c so far it's been a success but who knows about the rest

No joke

The adage, “Write drunk, edit sober.” Is 100% real. I’m quite drunk and the words are flowing freely. More so than they have in a long time.
