planning your stupid shit-ass fucking novel:

• you can know the ending or the beginning but if you know both then you will never ever sort the middle out
• why do i need more characters can’t this plot resolve itself without me introducing more characters
• i am going to kill literally everyone in this chapter here and then i can just ride the trauma wave through to the next act
• there isn’t room for the romantic subplot
• there isn’t room for this subplot either
• this was meant to be a minor point why is it taking over the entire second act
• [research this] *never researches it*
• stop obsessing about your framing device and sort out the plot holes
• stop obsessing about the likely reaction of tumblr to individual characters and sort out the plot holes
• fine just fucking live in a plot hole you piece of shit
• is this the same team dynamic as the last four books
• yes
• it’s my fucking novel i’ll write what i want
• oh god what if no one likes it
• stop writing imaginary reviews from people who hate you and sort out the plot holes
• right i’ve sorted out the middle but now the ending doesn’t work
