The Aspiring Authors Society discussion

Have you ever done/thought/wrote something that just made no sense at all and left you wondering if you even had a brain? Or perhaps had idea or written a line so insanely good you kind of just sat there looking at it for a second like "Damn... I wrote that?!". If so feel free to share any of those experiences here.

Ok so in one of my books the main character is a twin and her birthday is December 12th, right? Well for like months I had her twin brothers birthday as like March something. For months I just didn't think about what twins actually meant I guess and so I had these twins that are literally almost 9 months apart.

No way lol
I'm laughing so much
Let me think if I've ever done something like this
Umm I was showing my sister quotes and was like oo I like this one, not realising I wrote it myself lol
And I also have mixed up character's hair and eye colours to the point you wonder if I even created the characters

Yep- so true!

Haha I can’t believe those
a good one I had; I was writing at night, as I almost always do, and I was writing mostly like depressing love quotes and happy love quotes lol (it was a love quote kinda night), and when I was typing them up from the paper I wrote them on, I was actually madly proud of it…MOST of it. There were a couple of lines I got rid of because they weren’t good lol, but for the most part they had me thinking I didn’t write them haha

Haha- sounds amazing! Love poems are pretty cool!

I can't believe I used to think 'Author' was spelt 'Authour'

I was really bored and I wrote a small passage, for a short story or something but when I finished, I was so proud of it, to the point, I added it in to my plot.

That's great!

Well, this has nothing to do with being an author, but a friend told me (cus I don't ever remember doing this) that I used to be really proud of my feet when I was 6 and would ask to compare it and tell my dad so proudly that mine were larger.

that is honestly so cute

lol it's kinda embarrassing to be told this though

I'm doubled over - you did not do that! 🤣
Maybe your friend's living a fantasy
