"why do you have so many unfinished drafts?" because chaos reigns.
My average writing experience:
"Alright I think I'm almost done actually-"
*Google doc grows second health bar and a choir starts singing in latin*
“I’m writing,” I say as I pace around my room listening to the same song for the 19th time, daydreaming about the general *vibe* of my story.
*writes a sentence or two after writing nothing for days*
Oikeesti parhaat kirjotusneuvot mitä oon nähny
1. Kirjota ihan vitusti
2. Jos sä pidät siitä niin se ei koskaan oo turhaa tai ajan tuhlaamista vaikka sitä ei koskaan julkaistas
3. Joka kerta kun sä kirjotat jotain uudestaan tai kirjotat jotain mikä ei koskaan tuu julkastuks sä opit siitä, ja opit kaikesta huonosta mitä kirjotat
Me: I am going to stick to just one story idea. No more changing. No more abandoning half baked ideas. No more distractions. I will be focused. I will finish a project.
New idea:
Kirjasta Kissojen maailmanhistoria - Petri Pietiläinen

one time a professor asked me if i’d ever wanted to write anything “more important” than romance. and i said no. i was put on this earth to write about sad people kissing. and if another writer ever came up to me and said they wanted to write 400 pages containing nothing but a character baking a single loaf of bread each day, then i would tell them to do that. people don't write something because it's important. they write about something and that is what makes it important
