Being a content writer is 1% writing and 99% getting distracted by the internet. And that’s probably how you ended up here. Am I right, or am I right?
And because procrastinating is something we writers are too good at, I decided to search the depths of the internet (this does not count as procrastinating!) to bring you the most hilarious, the most relatable content writing memes about the joys (or miseries) of our jolly-good profession.
Gather up, fellow writers, because it’s personal attack day today!
Here are 21 of the Most Rib-Tickling Content Writing Memes on the Internet
1. The one where denial is our best friend
Who says writing is a linear process with a definite beginning, middle, and end? Sometimes, it’s a never-ending cycle of denial, guilt, anger, depression, acceptance, and REPEAT.
2. The one with a love-hate relationship
Life as a content writer is certainly without a dull moment. One day, you’re effortlessly playing the jack of all trades – working as a marketer, strategist, and designer. But the very next, you’re drowning in a sea of deadlines and client expectations, questioning your life choices.
3. The one where we are our own worst enemy
Editing can be a difficult task, and sometimes, editors forget that they don’t have to be superhumans and do it all by themselves.
*Cue music*
4. The one where Monday morning blues feel too real
When you wake up on a Monday, ready to work after an amazing weekend, the last thing you might want to do is get on a client call. But as the universe has it, that’s exactly what will happen.
5. The one with the personal attack
I, as a content writer, can vouch that it’s not always writer’s block that halts our productivity. Sometimes, a few dog videos on the internet are too cute to ignore. And thus goes the chance to be productive and create compelling content.
6. The one where we hope to find a way
It’s called mastering the art of the first draft.
7. The one where reality hits
I think we all have one of those days where no matter how much you try, the writing process just goes on forever.
8. The one where the universe sends us a sign
When the universe sends you a sign, you take it!
9. The one with “what even is social life?”
In a race between meeting client deadlines and keeping your social life alive – deadlines win. Always.
10. The one where you go down *that* road
Writing is only one part of the job. Next comes the dreaded and difficult task of incessant revisions. While some parts make sense, most don’t, and some you don’t want to let go of. Safe to say, it is a constant battle between what’s right and what’s easy.
11. The one where it’s not okay
Do you know that feeling where you’ve been struggling with reworks the whole day, and then at last, the creative inspiration hits you, and you produce some of your best work? Yeah, me neither.
12. The one with client’s high expectations
After a week of being stuck in a creative rut, just when you *think* you’ve done a great job, a client email will bring you back to reality (and make you want to hit your head on the wall).
13. The one where you are unbeatable
Not all days are going to be challenging. Some days you’ll realise you do have these amazing creative skills, after all. And be a content writer worthy of your name.
14. The one with the “writing process”
I don’t know about you guys, but this accurately summarises my “writing process.”
15. The one where time stops for you
If this doesn’t describe a typical day in the life of a content writer, I don’t know what will.
16. The one where you’re not the one to blame…
I laughed too hard when I saw this. Working as a content writer is a creative job, and some days, we just can’t get into that zone. And when that happens, we’ll do anything to justify the creative block – even blame God for it!
17. The one where your frenemy shows up
Writer’s block is a menace and an unwelcome guest in our lives – all content writers would agree. And I’m sure we all hate it when it sneaks on you at the worst possible time, taking away your creative streak.
18. The one where you’re a master of the art
It’s a creative skill not everyone can master. Not even ChatGPT.
19. The one where it’s not the same
Like it or not, daydreaming about writing and actually writing are not the same. Harsh but true.
20. The one where you work the magic
If only there was a magic spell to boost your content marketing results overnight!
21. And finally, the one where you’re the hero
Not all heroes wear capes. Some just share their wisdom with others and stop them from making the same mistakes they made.
Write Away!
Writing interesting and engaging content is a skill not everyone can master. But even when we love what we do too much, it doesn’t hurt to take a break and laugh at the realities of it. So, when you’re having a hectic day and just cannot get into your creative zone, scroll through these relatable memes for a nice chuckle and make your day!
