The Writing Life Cycle for Me a la GIF format

Hello everybody!

In conjunction with last week's GIF ensemble, I thought it would be appropriate to illustrate my process as a writer! I'm sure you can all relate! 

Hope you enjoy it! #CurethecaseoftheMondays



You're at work or playing with the kids, and then it happens...It all starts out with an idea so brilliant (at least to you) you HAVE to write it down.





You mull it over for a while the temptation grows...
thinking should I? Can I really write a novel? Little old me?




And then you convince yourself that yes...YOU can write the next great American novel!




In the beginning...




After about two hours of this.



You do this...



And this...



UNTIL...(something clicks)



And the MOJO magically starts flowing.




BUT then it suddenly stops. The dreaded MENTAL BLOCK be like:



And YOU be like:






Until you see or hear that one thing that inspires you to keep going:




And you FINALLY break the block with the BEST IDEA EVER.



Then you be all like:




Every now and then you catch a typo that makes you smirk to yourself..like the time you wrote "..and he took out his large ballpoint penis," INSTEAD of "..and he took out his large ballpoint pens," Oops.




Then, you put the last period and write "THE END." You utter  two words...




What you expect finishing your manuscript will be like:





What it really ends up being like...





Happy Monday! Write something great this week!
