Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the live-composer-page-builder domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Here are some jokes that (maybe) only a writer will find humorous:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Writing is 10% typing and 90% staring at your computer trying to find a better way to describe someone eating a piece of toast.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When I die and y\u2019all go through my search history, you\u2019ll be disappointed to find mostly just definitions for very common words that I wasn’t sure I was using correctly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me: *gets a story idea*<\/p>\n

Me: *immediately begins planning detailed scenes from the 15th book in the series*<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Being a writer is writing 3,000 words at 4 in the morning and not touching your work for a month.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Someone: What are you doing?<\/p>\n

Me: Writing.<\/p>\n

Someone: You’re just staring at the screen.<\/p>\n

Me: Like I said, I’m writing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me, the MF with over 50 abandoned works in progress: I have another idea.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me: How many words have I written? Is it a million? Is it two million?<\/p>\n

Word counter: 409 words.<\/p>\n

Me: LIES<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first rule of writing is we hoard notebooks.<\/p>\n

The second rule of writing is we never write in our notebook hoard.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me: I don’t need to write down that story idea. It’s so unique I’m never going to forget it.<\/p>\n

Narrator: It was so unique she never remembered it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me: *finishing a fic that took forever to write* FUCK yeah!<\/p>\n

Me: *reading over finished fic* fuck no<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My professors: Everything in literature is intentional. Every word is carefully chosen. It all has meaning. The writers are very careful.<\/p>\n

Me, an actual writer: *rereads something I just wrote* Did I \u00a0… just accidentally reference Mythbusters?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me: Terrible things keep happening to my characters. I don’t understand why.<\/p>\n

Brain: Make it worse.<\/p>\n

Me: But why?<\/p>\n

Brain: you gotta.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Writing a novel when you imagine all your stories in film format is hard because there’s really no written equivalent of “lens flare” or “slow motion montage backed by Gregorian choir.”<\/p>\n
