i know i haven’t posted much but the fact that i don’t have readers already is super disappointing 

[writingacepilot]

real quick question for my secret gf wip: what’s more interesting? an already established relationship or letting the relationship develop first?

idk if i want xime and reina to already be dating as the story starts or if i should wait a chapter or two before getting them together. i originally wanted an established relationship but now idk...

Me forgetting to write down my WIP ideas right away:

[writingacepilot]

Cheep and easy ways to find a basis for your plot.

When you have characters:

What does your character aspire to do or become? Making that aspiration really hard for them to reach.

What does your character love? Take it away from them and make them earn it back.

What does your character hate? Bind them too it and make them work to get rid of it.

When you have a world:

What is the most chaotic thing that can happen to this world’s politics? Find the character this chaos would effect the most and see what they do about it.

What is the most dangerous thing that can happen within this magic system? Figure out who would come to stop or reverse it and see what they do.

Who is the most damaging person in this world and what are they doing? Figure out who of those they hurt might rise up and defeat them.

When you have only spite:

What story do you absolutely hate the execution of? Take the very basic concept of its plot and build it into the story you wish it produced.

What plot structure do you enjoy but wish writers would be more original with? Take it and then throw a dozen spins on it.

** Remember to mix and match for more elaborate plot structures. Carry on this format with your own tricks to digging up basic plot structures!

my imagination, writing skills, and focus when i finally open a document:

picrew for my oc’s. ximena on the left and reina on the right. i used another creator awhile ago to make them but this honestly captures them a lot better.

yes i know i haven’t started writing secret gf but i’m already thinking about a companion book about ricky (a secondary character) who is a filipino boy who is not straight (idk how to define him yet. he’s questioning because i’m questioning lol) and who is obsessed with anime, horror movies, and comic books.

[writingacepilot]

i can’t tell you what my favorite book is because i haven’t written it yet.

writing goals for the rest are of 2019.

i have two main wip’s i want to finish before the end of the year.

write 3 chapters for my secret gf wip. but i think i’ll settle for 2 cuz i haven’t even started lol

finish my 1980s horror film short story. i have like the first third done just gotta work out the middle and the ending. this story i want to finish specifically before the end of october.

i have other stuff i wanna work on and might work on in between but those are the two i wanna focus on the most.

i just gotta schedule and figure out times to write. i work nights so it’s been a little hard trying work that out but i know i gotta try harder. and i will.

Tag your OC that swears in front of a kid and then goes, “Oh, shit, my bad.”

You know the one.

being a writer means wanting to read your work without having to have written it

[writingacepilot]

two girls coming together and plotting a gruesome vengeful death for the men who wronged them should be a romantic sub genre of its own

[writingacepilot]

did non-binary exist in the 80′s? i’m sure it did but does anyone have any resources? reina from my secret gf wip is non-binary but idk how to express it in a way that would be accurate to the time. i don’t want to use modern terms or ideas if it doesn't make sense.

[writingacepilot]

Fun fact: a character doesn’t have to be a good person to be a good character.

[writingacepilot]

okay if i’m gonna write this book then i gotta actually write it... i need to set a goal... like a word count or something and a deadline. idk... any advice?
