Every time I have a good story idea and start planning it I quickly snowball into the most overambitious convoluted thing I could possibly write.

follow your dreams at a sustainable pace

watch out, tumblr. i'm in the mood to go into random writeblr's inboxes and asking questions for no reason other than to hear them yap about their books

EDIT: there are a lot of people interacting with this post, so if you’d like me to target your inbox, please make sure your blog intro or something on your page has your wip info so i know about your project to ask questions!!

So… which is less likely to be a giant pain in the butt to edit later on:

Go back and make the giant plot change(s) as you’re writing the disjointed first draft

Make the giant plot change(s) in the second draft

Both options are scaring me and I wanna go home 😭

I did the Author Type Test!

Link here.

I'm basically right in the middle.

Makes sense... I mean, I never knew whether to call myself a plotter or pantser, since my approach has always been a good mixture of both. I like having a plan and basic idea of where I want my stories to go, but I also put a lot of emphasis on developing my characters, and what they want to do isn't necessarily what I plan for them to do lol. I tend to just write what feels the most right for them in the end, even if it doesn't line up with what I had in mind to begin with.

This is so interesting, though!

Tagging some people to try this next if they haven't already (but this is also open for anyone to try out if they want!): @mysticstarlightduck, @jay-avian, @beginning-of-wisdom, @winterandwords and @kaylinalexanderbooks.

First drafting a novel is really just whispering "would he fucking say that?" over and over again for several thousand words

Trying to focus on one (1) singular WIP… but that one over there is looking really shiny and cool right now 😭

i want to read more books from people on here, and unfortunately, i struggle a lot with online reading. it’s much better for me to actually have the text on page in front of me.

SO!!!! this is an open call for all my tumblr writer friends to link/promote their published, purchasable books here! let me buy them and put them on my bookshelf please

Dear Tumblr,

Today I finished my novel. I don't mean that I got the first draft done. I mean that I, recently sixteen, finished the novel that I've been working on for as long as I can remember. I did it.

I am very happy and I just wanted to share it with all the weird little freaks that inspired me to put my blorbos down on paper. I don't care if nobody sees this. I did it. I am a writer. I finished my book.

Love,

Avi
