We all have problems occasionally, especially if we're writers. Here's a list of problems I've found on Tumblr (of course) and from my personal experience.
1. writing the wrong word, deleting it, then before writing the right word you write the wrong word again.
2. Being so tired that nothing you write makes the slightest bit of sense.
3. Having too many ideas but too little time to convert them all into stories.
4. when you mention your characters by name and no one knows who you're talking about.
5. wishing you could write as fast as your mind thinks.
6. when you decide that you're going to sit down and write something once and for all, only to stare at a blinking cursor for three hours before getting distracted by the Internet.
7. when great ideas keep coming to you as you're trying to sleep.
8. Spending more time planning what you're going to write than actually writing
9. when the creative juices start flowing at 3 AM because it's not like you were planning on doing anything else anyway, right? Like sleep?
10. Freaking out because your computer wiped all your files.
11. Feeling quilty for taking a long hiatus from writing.
12. when you haven't written anything in a while, so you've forgotten how hard writing can be.
