I’m not a plotter or a pantser. I am chaos.

I’m gonna be so honest. This was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the CEO assassins name pop up on my feed. Am I going to hell? Maybe. Am I hilarious? Absolutely.

My Spotify wrapped showed me that I, indeed, am like other girls, and I’m proud of that 🫶

#stormdarragh is just the excuse I needed to stay home, wrapped up blankets and write my book ALL weekend.

Sometimes I try to write a scene and my characters are like “Sorry we don’t vibe with that. Try again.”✌️

Writing my WIP is basically just me creating a new best friend and then throwing them into the worst possible situations to see if they’ll survive.

Me: I have a 2k word goal today. Also me at 1,802 words: What if I described the pattern of the ceiling for three more paragraphs?

Being a #writer is 1% inspired genius and 99% staring at an empty doc like it owes me rent.

Planning my book: this is a solid and logical plot. Writing my book: why is there a minor subplot about a sentient slice of toast?

I read this book in high school and it thoroughly wrecked me and I was forced to remove it from my mind entirely. And yet, here it is again. Taunting me. So I guess I have to read it and hurt myself again. Buckle in folks, it’s time for Gin and Tears 😂

If I had a nickel for every time I deleted multiple paragraphs out of frustration I’d have 879,672 nickels. Which isn’t a lot…. Wait actually that’s not bad.

All I’m gonna say is no one is ready for Cynthia Erivo and Jonathan Baileys’ ‘As Long As You’re Mine.’ Cause I know I’m not. #Wicked

Do I write today? Or do I stay in bed, doomscroll play video games all day? Oh the decisions

Liars lying and crying on the internet to sell more of their books and then claiming “they didn’t know better because they have no author friends” will never not be funny to me 🤣

Trying to write your first book is not unlike trying to paint the Mona Lisa with fingerpaints

Getting catcalled and harassed on a train and the followed into the station by a drunken MARRIED man was NOT on my bingo card tonight. No, sir I do NOT want to talk to you or be near you while you drool and spit on me (literally)

Finally being able to put my god complex to good use by poking at my characters peaceful lives and ensuring mass chaos for my own pure amusement

“As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods. They kill us for their sport.” This is how my Shakespeare hyperfixation starts - I apologise in advance.

Please continue this energy into business meetings! Work is so much more fun when you’re writing plot bunnies while finance gives you a budget breakdown 😂

Going from a weekend of dragons, curses, soul eaters, betrayal to working at my corporate job on a Monday is actually wilder than any plot I could ever write. #amwriting

I have never used toasted to describe him before and quite frankly I’m ashamed of myself and will always use this going forward because it’s PURRFECT

I’m currently balancing the line of “WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING?” and “Oh here’s 3k words in 30 minutes of incoherent nonsense that somehow makes sense in my brain.”

Cate Archer @catecarcher.bsky.social · 20/10/2024
You know… writing is a lot more thinking, dreaming, imagining, sporadic incoherent words in your notes app than I expected it to be.
