1. We're all broke: You just can't make a living as a writer.
2. We're shy AF: All writers are shy, timid introverts.
3. We're all miserable: You gotta be a tortured artist to produce quality writing.
4. Gimme that movie adaption! Every author's goal is a movie deal.
5. We can't let crap go: Piss off a writer, and you'll die in their book.
6. We write our personal fantasies: All books are wish fulfillment, and all MCs are self-inserts.
7. WTF? Rituals? All successful authors have rituals.
8. Deep, Meaningful, Poetic Curtains: Everything's a symbol.
9. We listen to "My Chemical Romance": All writers are jaded.
10. Writer Fetuses: All writers come out of the womb writing.
