Slow Writers Of Tumblr: Has Anyone Figured Out The Key To Not Comparing Yourself To Your Peers Who Hit

Slow writers of tumblr: has anyone figured out The Key to not comparing yourself to your peers who hit massive word counts daily? Or is this something we all struggle with together?

I worked on we faceless folk for this first time in months today and this is what I wrote. It’s about Rachel finding out that Chinwe’s ex, Yejin, might be connected to her disappearance. But it’s my first draft so I’ll probably change it later

I will never forget the way Chinwe talked about her. Her voice would grow loud and fast, but not with the type of passion that would make me nervous. It was an anger unsettled.

Chinwe told me that Yejin is horribly possessive. At first, Yejin would tell her that hearing Chinwe talk about other girls upset her. Then that escalated to her calling Chinwe names and making her feel guilty, so she stopped talking about anyone else at all. Finally Yejin started taking up all of Chinwe’s time so she was the only person in Chinwe’s life. Chinwe didn’t even realize until several of her friends questioned why she never hung out anymore.

“She completely drained me,” Chinwe once said. “She was like a vampire, sucking away all my love.”

I suddenly yearn for the way she wrapped her arms around my middle. For the way she said, “But you’re so giving. I only want to give you enough in return.”

Just seeing Yejin’s name on the screen fills me with hatred.

struggling rn because i literally can't place a character and i realized its because i haven't at all established what they want in the story up to a point? i know ONE motivation and then bro just like fades out of the story. so i am going to fix this.

If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading

I do the color thing too! I have synesthesia so each of their names appears as a different color to me and I now associate those colors with them. Sounds like you might have it too :)

As a former band nerd I must dictate which instruments my ocs would play if they were also band nerds.

Daron would play the piano. I think it takes a lot of skill to do two different things with your hands but she would be a natural

Catalina would play the cello. Very calming sound

Aria would play a drum kit. She has too much destructive energy and this is the only way to get it out

Cassidy would play the trumpet because she has a loud personality and because she’s basically me and that’s what I play

And Naomi would play the flute. A gentle sound for a gentle girl

This is so cool! I love reading about everyone’s wips and here are some of my posts

My wip intro

Worldbuilding post

I made a bunch of those but that is the last one so it has links to all of them

Are you a writer, artist, or creative of any sort, and you want reblogs on your original work? Submit them to my queue!

Reblog this post and add links to the posts you want me to share.

I'll try to leave comments in the tags but I make no promises

If I like your stuff, I might trawl through your blog for more posts. If you have a tag for your original works, leave it in the tags on your reblog and identify it somehow so I can isolate your original work easily. (Like mine is #etta's art or #etta rambles)

Pls no fandom stuff. I'm behind on the last 80 years of pop culture and this is about supporting OCs and indie projects.

Content warnings/tropes/other info is appreciated but not required

If you see me like your post, that means it's been viewed and added to the queue, you can expect to see it reblogged in 10-30days.

(My queue posts 10 posts a day and I'm down to under 100)

Even if you don't have anything to add to the queue, boosts are appreciated!
