That moment when you FINALLY know what to do with a character you've been struggling with and it turns out you needed to make them the other gender...Damn it, but also huzzah!
That moment... When the question you've been asking yourself about a particular sequence in a book has been answered by the characters in the later chapters. It would seem patience is the greatest virtue in readers.
That moment when you realize you don't feel like eating chocolate. What a strange, outlandish feeling!
That moment when a beta reader says they just finished the first few chapters and have to keep on reading.
TMW the following morning's pill hangover confirms that yes, you did unwittingly take your sleeping pill twice last night.
TMW no one realizes you farted yet, but judging from the stench, you’re sure they will be looking around with accusatory eyes in just a sec… there it is.
TMW when you're excited you finished editing your work and realize you went over the word limit without noticing...
That moment when you sit down to write at that perfectly trendy coffee shop with your fair trade, fat-free, double shot of sugar free caramel, bread pudding macchiato and you realize that pretentious little purple-haired bitch (who probably got her tattoos just to be cool and doesn't have a deeper meaning behind them) forgot the GODDAM PUMPKIN SPICE SPRINKLE ON TOP! I mean, what a bitch. Ugh, I can't even.
that moment when you sit and read the paperwork for one segment of the course you are on and realise that you might in fact be partially insane... somehow i have to complete a 3000 word plus essay on a topic of my choosing linked to one of the three subjects i am studying currently, i say one, it could be all three or two of them...
That moment when your main character slowly changes the conflict of the story as you write and you realise that it's becoming the opposite of your initial plan.
That moment when random curiosity + internet = you reading up wikipedia articles about Laura Ingalls Wilder (author of Little House on the Prairie) and her family.
This moment happens to me all the time. Last night it lead me to looking up post-transition metals and then subsequently discovering that you can buy an ingot of gallium on eBay for a very reasonable price and have all the fun of playing with mercury without any of the worry of being poisoned. My ingot arrives in 5 days. ETA: I don't suggest that anyone eat gallium, but it is safe to handle, unlike mercury.
TMW when your café bianco has you pacing around the house and you only just now noticed. LOL Woooo!! Caffeinated!
TMW- a friend constantly complains about how "crazy" their dog is and you know without a doubt that its behavioral issues are only because of poor training on their part, but you don't feel comfortable criticizing someone you otherwise like and respect.
That moment when later in the night you're blurry eyed standing in front of the toilet knowing you're aimed right but instead of hearing water splatter your left foot is getting wet.
^ That sucks. That Moment When... You have this sudden urge to write, are at the laptop but you don't know what exactly you want to write about.
Happens to me sometimes! I have several projects on the go, but sometimes I don't feel like working on any of them because I've run into difficulties with all of them. I could get out of the difficulties (I've figured my way out in some cases already), but it takes work I sometimes don't feel like doing because it involves going back and rewriting something I perfected earlier or something like that. I find, often, that I want to write, but I really mean I want to write something easy. And I don't have anything easy on the plate right now!
That moment when you realize that you are not good enough to be published but you have so many stories to tell...
