My Life as a Writer told in GIFs

Yes, I'm going to do it. This past year as a writer has been a series of ups & downs, or high rises & pot holes. And here to explain my story perfectly, is a collection of animated gifs I've come across over the year.

So it kind of started after I got a BRILLIANT idea, and with me feeling like this:

and pretty much after every single chapter review in my writing group I'd walk out of there like this:

And then looking over it the next day, it would end kind of like this:

And then I'd go back to the drawing board to fix it looking a lot like this:

But then I'd get good reviews either in class or in my writing group & start looking like this:

Pretty much every day my mother would ask me the same question:

Then I'd come across a former classmate or friend or teacher who's having minor success & say something like:

And then after my last & FINAL draft I start to realize I have to edit all 40,000 words of what I wrote and it turns into something like this:

and this:

and some of this:

and a bit of this too:

but then I get a lil confidence boost & start feeling like this:

and then I start sending out query letters and get no response, making me think this:

and some of this:

but eventually I'm sure I'll start feeling like the badass that I am, which is something like:

and I'll probably say something like this to my haters:

because once the royalty checks start coming in I'll be feeling like this:

so here's to the first of many books! and the first of many successes I have yet to have! :)
