The Five Stages of Writing, Animated

I've been writing about PPD and it's really hard. Reallllly hard. I'm pretty sure I'm correctly conveying about one percent of what I am trying to say and the rest is lost in a muddle of weird references and improper grammatical structure.

So today I say, "SCREW YOU, WORDS." Gifs are where it's at. Also, #irony. Love me some irony.

This is how I feel as I slog through the writing process:

PREWRITING:

That face you make when all the thoughts fly out of your head at once.

DRAFTING:

LEAP OF FAITH!
(I'm sure the bunny is fine, you guys.)

REVISING:

No, seriously, who wrote this?

EDITING:

This is when discouragement and self-loathing kick in.

PUBLISHING:

What did I just do? *sobs*
