Does anyone else feel like they are a lazy perfectionist with ADHD and chronic fatigue who is pretty chill besides the occasional panic attack and loves their friends but hates people?
tropes we deserve
- enemies to lovers
- "theRe'S oNLy one bED"
- when the sweet character just SNAPS
- kissing in action scene to distract everyone and not get caught
- giving the gruff character a nickname
- yelling will NEVER do a thing...next scene, they are doing the thing

@Keidi_Keating I’ve been trying to plot for the past few months and keep getting stuck. I feel like I’m moving backwards. I���m beginning to think I should try discovery writing and pants it
Brain: we should WRITE
Me: good idea

Me: I have so so much to do today.
Brain: <processing request>
Brain: <processing>
Brain: <red warning lights flashing>
Brain: <...p r o c e s s i n g...>
Brain: so we should nap
Me: yes
@KimLute I heard this advice in an episode of @WritingExcuses on outlining, and it was a bit of a breakthrough for me, personally - Start with a pitch of your story, just a few paragraphs. Then expand that into a 5-page version. Then a 20-page version. Then expand further into a novel.
