Ah, the life of a writer. It's not an easy one, people. Deadlines, endless amounts of reading and research, editing and re-editing, multiple drafts, and countless revisions all go into creating a good piece of writing. However, when the final project is completed, there is a sense of pride inside the writer that cannot be diminished nor understated. Aspiring writers such as myself dream of the day when a project of theirs will be published, widely accepted, and loved and read for many years to come. But until that day comes, check out these moments that every writer has experienced while working on a project.

1. When you know the idea you have is fail-proof and writing it will be a breeze.

2. When you finish writing the first page of a new project and decide you've done an adequate amount of work for the day.

3. When you come up with the perfect names for your characters.

4. When you choose to write about someone in real life even though you know they'll call you out on it.

5. When you read another writer's work and become discouraged.

6. When you write an intense chapter and wonder if you've gone too far.

7. When you decide to turn in early after a long day of writing.

10. When your friends ask if you ever get lonely just writing all the time.

12. When someone tries to tell you what to write about.

13. When you try to come up with a brilliant title.

14. When you come up with the best plot twist of all time.
