Wroting

That magical word you thought was unique to you that you write when you try to write "writing".

"Michelangelo's wrotings, while not as well known as his other works, still left a meaningful impact on Renaissance Europe."

writings on the wall

When something becomes made clear, usually something bad. Signifys specifically figuring something out by reading between the lines of the situation. A realization that - once made - would be foolish to ignore.

After that last financial meeting I can twll that the writings on the wall that they were going bankrupt. So I chose to find a new job as soon as I could.

The r/writing subreddit Principle

The r/writing subreddit Principle states that if your question starts with the words "Is it ok" or something similar to that then the answer is invariably yes.

"Hello, r/writing. Can I use a particular gimmick or a plot device that has been used before but because I don't actually read books or do any research I just assume it to be a highly original idea?"

"According to the r/writing subreddit Principle, the answer is always yes. You can write whatever you want."

"But is it ok if, like, my main character dies in the end? I'm afraid the average reader will be put off by my creative genius."

"Yes! Stop asking other people for validation! Grow a backbone and write what you want!"

writing binge

An occurrence in which a writer writes for an extremely long period of time, such as an hour or more at a time. The writer may take breaks between binges and resume writing.

It is often used during NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) or any WriMo (Writing month) to increase word count.

Last night I had a six hour writing binge.
