I’ve wanted to do one of these things for the longest time. And here it is. A writer’s life according to Sherlock Holmes and John Watson.

Getting a new idea

Outliners setting to work

Pantsers setting to work

Deciding on the perfect opening

On the brink of figuring out a troublesome plot aspect

Arguing with a character about their role in your story

Confronting a pop-up character

When the plot falls in place

Realizing you need to kill someone

When a nonwriter tells you stories are about more than pain

When you know you just wrote something good

Watching readers after giving them a particularly sad scene

Mid-novel writing slump

How we research

How we tell others we research

Why we don’t show friends our treasures

It’s not stalking…

Bidding your villain farewell even when you want to give him a happy end

When you realize you still need to edit

You’re a writer… so you… write books?

Modeling your style off what you accidentally did once and people now expect

When a project is finally finished
*dies laughing* I haven’t even seen this show and all the gifs are perfect.
It was so much fun putting together. I’m gonna have to do another one sometime.
Brilliant. This is absolutely brilliant 😀
Of course it is. What did you expect? XD
This is awesome! XD
Thanks. 😀

Oh my goodness I love this! #sherlockfan 😛
Yesss. I love Sherlock too.
so, this is literally one of the only shows aside from Walker Texas Ranger that I completely love. So, yeah, this is beyond funny. Plus made me chuckle! Great post 😉
I like scrolling through it and laughing too, so… XD
Oh goodness. This is so true on so many levels. XD
This. Is. Amazing.
Um. Yes.
I’ve only seen one full episode of the show, but this is brilliant!
*dies Laughing* Yes. Yes. And Yes. XD
That. Is. SO. True. Lol!
I know. So much fun. XD
Haha, I’ve never watched Sherlock, but this was very funny! 😀
Nailed my writing life perfectly!
LOL! All too accurate…
I’ve only seen a couple episodes of Sherlock, but I know enough for this to make me smile. You’ve got some brilliant leaps of imagination here! “Why we don’t show our friends our treasures.” 🙂
XD Yesssss
Lol! You should do one with Doctor Who gifs.
I want to sometime. Merlin too and Avengers and… there’s so many. There were enough gifs I could do another full one with Sherlock.
“It’s not stalking…” LOLOL
“When you realize you still need to edit.” SO TRUE!!!
Great post! Love it!
