- The author's poorly disguised fetish
- The author's proudly displayed fetish
- The author's fetish you're pretty sure they don't realise they have
- The author's fetish which they're firmly convinced everyone has and is just pretending otherwise
- The author's non-sexual special interest which just sounds like a fetish because of their habitually unfortunate phrasing
- The fetish the author is making a well-meaning effort to cater to in spite of clearly not understanding it themselves
- The author's fetish that never quite makes it into the text because they keep getting sidetracked by the requisite worldbuilding
- The author's utterly pedestrian sexual preference which the text treats like a bizarre fetish because they've got shit to work through
- The author's seemingly innocuous recurring trope they're going to have a personal revelation about ten years down the road
- The author's fetish you missed on a first reading because it's so far out of pocket, it never occurred to you that you could sexualise that

the writer’s dilemma: - want to write a novel - want to read 10 novels for inspiration - end up doing neither and scrolling through memes about writing instead

reblog if you're a writer but would rather drink straight cyanide than show any of your family members your work

when you get an idea for a fic but you know you’re going to have to really take your time with it in order to properly capture all the little details and plot points and themes you want to convey, but also you’re an impatient bitch who wants to write out and read that fun story in your head right fuckin’ now
I've got two wips in the pipeline, I swear, but I've had to put in a frankly ridiculous amount of overtime these past couple of weeks. I hope to get at least one of them out by sometime next Thursday or Friday at the latest, but we'll see. Maybe even this weekend if I spend some HP. 🫠

Lesser-known steps of the writing process:
- Finding all the paragraphs where you used some hyper-specific word more than once
- Rearranging paragraphs that you swear you wrote in the right order but turned out to be totally backwards
- Going for a walk, coming up with the perfect line, and forgetting it as soon as you get home and open your laptop
- Creating a separate document where you can dump all of those nice sentences that no longer fit in anywhere
- Waking up in a cold sweat because so-and-so was supposed to be barefoot but never actually took his shoes off

Name a better feeling than getting the first comment on a fic you were uncertain about and knowing that at least one person liked the tiny piece of your brain that you put on the internet

Literally all I want to do is write something that makes people insane and maybe scream silently over it like is that so much to ask
