    This is literally me. I can’t even write more than 3 sentences without saying “who the fuck do I think I am to even be writing!? This is not only terrible, but I’m some sort of pretentious douche that I think someone should read what I created!”

    Comments don’t count as writing to me apparently lol

      Or when you spell a word and there’s no red squiggly line to say it’s spelled wrong but you swear that’s not how it’s supposed to look. Then add random letters to the end to test if the spellcheck is working and it confirms you spelled it right the first time.

      Yesterday I was trying to write out ‘inconspicuous’ and my brain short circuited. Could not remember what word I was trying to spell, how to say it, I couldn’t conjure it on the white board in my head. It was like it was suddenly purged from my memory.

    Me: Alright, time to get down the basics of my idea so I can flesh it out further once I’ve gotten the outline worked out!

    Also me: I have been writing for ten minutes and this isn’t on par with Shakespeare. Time to crawl in a whole and never write again.

    it’s the complete opposite for me. i just shit out some words and at some point it’s good enough and i hit save and i never look at it ever again

    granted i never write anything worth reading so that may be why
