What Star Wars Has Told Us About Writing

Yes, in 2019, I watched Star Wars for the first time ever. For the most part, I liked it a lot. And so I kinda stole this idea from a post Anna did a long time ago. 😉

WRITING ACCORDING TO STAR WARS

1. When you get a new book idea:

2. When you can’t even get past the outline but you’re determined to write the book anyway:

You knew this one would be in here, right?

3. When you put your characters into an impossible situation just because . . . well, because.

4. When you’re in the middle of writing a novel and a shiny new book idea shows up:

5. When you get to the climax, but you can’t figure your way out of it:

6. When writer’s block crushes all your dreams:

Who else LOVED this part?

7. When the book is going PERFECT:

8. When the book flops:

9. When you want to do ANYTHING but sit down and write:

10. When you find you can’t write romance:

11. When people read the book and don’t say anything:

12. When you REALLY want to kill off your main character:

And of course, when you’ve refused to watch Star Wars your whole life so you don’t know any of these one-liners . . .

I had always refused to watch Star Wars because I thought the first few movies were way too old, but I actually really liked most of them. So now, I have to know: which is your favorite GIF? What Star Wars movie is your favorite?

Do you have a movie or character you could do one-liners like these for?
