Filthy Lying Writers!

 
Not much going on in the writerly department these days, to my greatest horror.  Not until I got kicked in the derriere with this particular article...  Fellow writers, beware, the deadly lies we tell ourselves:

(Disclaimer: not for the faint of heart.  R-rated)

1. I don't have time!
2. It's okay I didn't write today, I'll do it tomorrow!
3. I'll come back to this story after I write this other story!
4. Oh noes, writer's block again!
5. I can only write when the muse allows!
6. My creative spark hath been extinguished!
7. My characters are in control!
8. That's not bad writing, that's my voice!

10. I don't need an editor!
11. I don't need to do any planning!
12. I have nothing more to learn!
13. I need [insert some bullshit here] to help me write!
