Problems With Writing a Long Fic
“Wait, when did that happen again”
“Wait, which event happened first again”
*rereads something I wrote five chapters ago* I have no recollection of writing this
I know this one thing I’m referring back to happened somewhere between chapters 15 and 30 but I have no idea where, welp time to go back and dig through 100k worth of words
*rereads first few chapters* oh my god this is awful holy shit this is so bad did past-me really write this
*Tries not to contradict myself and contradicts myself anyway*
“What is even going on in this fic”
*has detailed notes**scene ideas*
three days later
*lost notes**can’t remember scene ideas**lost the will to live**gained three pounds from stress snacking**dehydrated from crying into keyboard*
*months pass* *i still have no conclusion*
*at the beginning of the story*
character is 14
*somewhere in the middle*
character is now 20
*at the end*
somehow somewhere the character has become 8 what is this wizardry
