~Well, Hello all!~
I had planned for today a serious blog post, which I didn’t end up writing, mostly because I didn’t have a lot of time, and secondly because I didn’t really know what I wanted to write. So, instead I decided on a lighter, funner (that’s totally a word) post for today.
It’s a little known fact that I like musicals. And because I only remembered today that I had to write a blog post I’m a humorous sort of person, I shall now proceed to show you 12 different times when Newsies managed to perfectly capture the trials and triumphs of the writers life.*

Actually, I won’t be dancing like that at the end of NaNo. I’ll be mentally and physically exhausted and will probably go into hibernation until Christmas.
*Also, Watch What Happens is the most relatable song in existence. Write what you know, so they say/All I know is I don’t know what to write…Am I right? I tried to find a GIF for it, but it seems there are none in existence :(.
Have you seen/listened to Newsies? If you haven’t, why not??? Do these Gifs capture your trials and triumphs? Do you have any more to add?
THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER READ

LOL, especially the first one. I cringe so much when I read my old writing. I’ve actually been considering posting the chapter one of the first novel length project I finished and making that post all about dissecting how much I hate it and why I feel that way.

I haven’t seen Newsies! (because Broadway? is a long way away?? and my family doesn’t even watch many movies. But I need to see if I can get hold of the old movie, even if I can’t see the musical.)
Still, all of these GIFs were PERFECTION and I appreciated them very much. (Even without having seen Newsies 😉

I know!! I’m currently editing a novel I wrote in April, and I’m actually surprised by how terrible the writing is!! I’ve seen a few bloggers do that and it can be very amusing! Thanks for commenting!!

I know!! it’s not fair! I don’t actually know if Newsies ever came to Australia. Oh, I’d love to see the old movie too. 😀 I believe there’s a recording of the stage show which was made earlier this year available on Netflix, if you have that, but I don’t, so I have to be content just listening to it.
Thank you! I had much entertainment putting this together. I actually had a whole lot of lines from the lyrics that I wanted to use, but couldn’t find any gifs for them? Very upsetting.
Thanks for commenting, Jem!

Yeah, it can be surprising how bad something is that I once thought was great, but it’s also a sign of how much we’ve grown as writers. 🙂 Yeah, I love those posts. That’s the only reason I’m considering putting myself through the utter cringeworthy-ness of writing one. You’re welcome!

Yes, that’s very true! I think I’ve progressed in my writing this year more than any other year, because I can look back on stuff written six months ago and see how much I’ve grown since then.
Maybe I should do one too. I don’t think I have a lot of my earlier writing still though. I might have to dig through the old USBs and find something. 😀

Yes, that sounds like progress. 🙂 Maybe, that would be funny. Good luck finding something to post!

I’ll try my best to have it as a post in December, after I’ve finished the craziness of NaNo!

This is such a clever post idea! I mean, combine Newsies and writing and YOU CAN’T GO WRONG. The GIFs you chose are certainly accurate! I especially love 7,9,10, and the face-planting BABY LION. It’s fantastic.
