Most of these are accurate (the analyzing the sex scene one = FRIGHTENINGLY TRUE) but the time spent would be split like ‘85% Work/Housework/Chores/InteractingwithHumans/TakingCareofLifeStuff/PlayingwithCat and 15% Writing.
Lol – love the playing with cat one 😀
These are amazing! I can’t imagine bringing a sex scene to a writer’s group … it would be so awkward …
Lol – I can only imagine 😀
Hilarious! And can relate to them 😀
Sadly, so can I 😀
ahahaha these are awesome!! But definitely NOT spot on for me! 1) In the first image the large bar would be for “pretending to read but playing video games instead”. 2) I would want to punch all the people in that venn diagram, not just the ones in the center. 3) In the final image, obviously the people who use good grammar thing is off my plate.
Lol – how about people who draw well in your case?
Hehe, thanks!! I noticed I can’t “Like” your comments anymore- is that because of the switchover to wordpress.org? Have you had any problems from the switch yet?
WHAT? Why can’t you Like my brilliant insights anymore? That’s… that’s… There should be a button under the “Freebie of the day” box, right under the social share buttons. Please tell me you see it!
Oh yep I can still like your posts, it’s just the comments I can’t like anymore!
Although the migration was surprisingly painless, I’ve been having some trouble with comments since yesterday. Wonder if it has to do with your predicament. Hmm…
hey, the comment was likable now, you fixed it!!
Yay! *happy dance* (hey, look away! You’re not supposed to see my awkward twerking!)
LOL. I could relate to a whole range of these. Especially the Writing Process and Workshopping. And I do have to admit an impulse to punch people now and then.
Don’t we all… 😀
LOL! Priceless! 🙂
And true 😀
Can sooo relate… well, to all of them, actually! Brilliant! She ws obviously sick of staring at that blank word doc when she decided to make these…
L0l – procrastination at its best 😀
So true! Lol. PS. I tried to find you on StumbledUpon and I can’t? Perhaps you can friend me DGKaye. I’m just learning that site and have no luck finding people I know there. 🙂
Oh! Am I even there? I doubt it. Hmm… One more thing to do 🙂
No kidding! 🙂
Gotta love venn diagrams! 🙂
Ha ha – absolutely 😀
Sad but true! BTW, the site looks great.
Thanks! I’ve done quite a few tweaks, but I’ve tried to keep them imperceptible 🙂
Another great post. I cant stop laughing.
Thank you!! 🙂
Thanks for this. If I’d known what being a writer meant when I was younger… I’d have become a plumber. Or maybe an adman. Or…
Lol – nooooo! Not an ad man 😀
Very funny. I’ve shared it with my fellow writers in a closed group on Facebook. I’m sure they’ll all identify with it in numerous ways.
Lol – I’m afraid we all do! 😀
Always great to read your early morning humor! Writing process! Love it! Agree with comment on asking others to critique work. It’s saved me many times clearing up glitches I thought were perfectly clear. Have a great week Nicholas! Hello to soon-to-be Mom Electra! Chryssa
Thank you, that’s so sweet of you to say 🙂

Great graphics. I believe in the nightstand notebook, to record those dream inspirations while you can capture them. ☺
Oh, that’s an absolute must! 🙂
Oh yes indeedy Cute…and ouch!
Heh heh – yes, pretty accurate 😀
Ah, the practical major conversation. My favorite is when you get that long after you graduated college. Always makes me want to say this: Let me just jump in my time machine and fix that problem. While I’m at it, when and where were you conceived? Just ignore the air horn I’m grabbing.
Also the workshop cringing. What do you do if the people are analyzing a sex scene that doesn’t exist? You have a couple arguing and possibly even fighting, but the group will not stop talking about sexual tension that you never put in there. Then they move on to what the characters do behind closed doors and you realize that these people are not messing with you.
Lol – that’s why I prefer having you guys critique my work 😀
And we’ll never steer you wrong. Then again, most of us do the steering with a blindfold.
What is this steering thing you are talking about?”? “we don’t need no stink in’ steering!”? ccr
Now, now, I could do with a bit of steering every now and then. That’s why, say, I check with you guys which book cover you like best 🙂
Roger that. Over, and out.
ccr
I think it has to do with cows.
Ha! I like that! ?
Yes, but we all have different blind spots, so it all right in the end 🙂
I am getting a little thin up . . . Oh! Blind spot. My mistake.
DON’T! *raises accusing finger with one hand, pats back of head with the other* Just… don’t!
😀
Wonderful graphics reflecting sound “reality testing” Have a good laugh and get over it! You must slay whatever are in your path; not the unicorns you wished for!
ccr
Quite so. Thanks and welcome 🙂
I’m following you now. https://therogerspost.com
Thank you for the follow-back 🙂
I can identify with the ‘Genius Level’ one! Very amusing, Nicholas, and uncomfortably accurate, I suspect.
Best wishes, Pete.
Lol – so it is. Thank you, Pete! 🙂
Lol, I didn’t realise that authors suffered so much in performance of their art – it is clear they need to be better appreciated – (sigh), oh the trials and tribulations 😀
Lol – who said being a writer was easy? 😀
Clearly done by an author with too much time on their hands or a frustrated statistician. Thanks for the early morning smile Nicholas.
Hugs
Lol – absolutely 😀
Hugs back 🙂
