"just write the story you want to read!" they said. well, guess what, now i have 14 unfinished drafts because apparently, i want to read 14 different stories at once.

Introduction

Hello, everyone!

I'm Introchasingstars- Francesca, for simplicities sake (she/her), a small-time writer, and a Marauders fan since 2016! I intend to use this blog mostly just to talk about not only Marauders but also my independent works! I plan to yap about my characters, creatures, and world, so I do hope you find enjoyment in that!

I write mostly high fantasy as I enjoy writing and creating complex worlds, characters, and lore! My most well-known work follows the tale of Cassiel Greene and Fennic Etwile as they venture across the galaxy to meet a mysterious group of self-proclaimed gods known as the Delefaye.

My biggest inspirations in writing are Star Wars, Lord Of The Rings, Marauders and Watership Down! So if any of those interest you please stick around :) I tackle a lot of themes and tropes such as found family, enemies to lovers, coming-of-age, power and corruption, good versus evil and forbidden romances.

I am always looking for writing mutuals and am happy to answer any questions! My ask box is always open, and I'm very excited to share more of my thoughts with you all.

OC Ship Song Tag 🎵

Rules: list the ships of your wip (canon or otherwise!) and the song that "describes" your ship, or that would be used for a fan edit of the ship

Emaya + Thane - Guilty as Sin? (Taylor Swift) - Canon

If it's make believe

Why does it feel like a vow

We'll both uphold somehow?

Orion + Sierra - July (Hozier) - Canon

But you arrived like sunlight in the gloom

And burned off the haze when the year was still new

Dalia + Duchess Ailene - Good Luck Babe (Chappell Roan) - Implied

Think I'm gonna call it off

Even if you call it love

I just wanna love someone who calls me baby

I hate how I can create amazing scenarios in my mind but I can't write a paragraph

[sarahswriting]

Outline a Rough Draft of Your Novel

This is a worksheet for people like me, who see the dreaded Triangular Mountain of Plot Points and curl up inside. Stories don’t always need to form the shape of a triangle with their conflict, climax, and resolution.

Try these steps out to make a rough draft of your first plotline.

(I say first because most writers always go back and add or delete ideas along the way! What you plan with these steps doesn’t have to be permanent.)

Step 1: Set the Scene

Filling out these points will expand your story and make it seem more real in your mind, if it isn’t something that you have a good concept of already.

This is the step you’ll want to return to if you’re struggling to write later because there aren’t enough concrete details about your fictional world/cast of characters.

My story takes place in (city, country, kingdom, world, universe): __________

The year is: _____

My character(s) is(are): __________

Their current situation is: __________

Step 2: Pinpoint Your Theme

Stories have themes, even when you don’t realize it. Concrete themes, like survival, love, or death, are more straightforward. In Room, the story is about how the main characters survive through a testament to their love for each other.

Or you could want to write about something more fluid, like the experience of growing up. A coming of age theme (like in The Perks of Being a Wallflower) will demonstrate how the young protagonist matures in their identity or their world view by the end of the book.

Whatever your theme is, write it at the top of your planning page or document. I’ve found that I have to return it while outlining when I feel lost or stuck. It’s easy to wander away from your theme when you get excited or if it’s been a while since you got your initial idea. (And you’ll need a concrete theme if you decide to pitch your manuscript to literary agents, so you’re saving your future self a bit of extra work.)

Step 3: Create Your Initial Conflict

Every story needs an initial conflict to kick things off, even if your outline would look more like the line on a heart rate monitor than a triangle. Think about Georgie sailing his boat down the street and going missing in It or Prim getting selected at the reaping in The Hunger Games.

__________ will happen to X character(s) and cause them to react by doing __________.

Because my character(s) had that reaction, the world starts changing by __________.

Step 4: Make Each Chapter a Bullet Point

Chapter One

This will likely include all of the information you planned from Step 1 and 2. The initial conflict is often the hook at the end of the first chapter, but it can happen before or after too!

Chapter Two

When my character sees the world changing in the above ways, they respond by doing __________.

Chapter Three (etc.)

Keep in mind that each chapter needs to have a point that drives your character or plot towards your main theme or conclusion.

Don’t panic if you don’t have all the details of your plot in mind yet! Remember, this bullet point stage is for rough draft planning. You could come up with five chapters that end the book. That’s awesome—go write what you plan!

You’ll get more ideas as you start writing. When inspiration strikes, jump back into the heart of your bullet point list and thread ideas in wherever they fit best. That’s what’s so great about working with a list form instead of writing everything in a simple shape. You have endless room and the eternal ability to expand your fictional world.

Sometimes this part of novel outlining takes me a month. Sometimes many. It depends on how vivid the story is to me when I think about it.

Most of the time, I let my outlines marinate. Make this bullet point list or one without chapter headers. Open your notes when you get an idea for a scene detail, a conflict, dialogue, or anything else. When you want to organize, you’ll have pages of thoughts that came to you while you were working out or grocery shopping. Use them as inspiration to piece together a longer story (or throw out the ideas that aren’t as great as you thought they were).

Step 4: Read Through Your Outline

You’ll have quite a few things going on within your outline at this point, so review everything when you feel like you’ve reached the halfway point or end of your story. You’ll get a feel for the flow, see if the thematic threads or character arcs connect where they should, and spot gaps that need more details.

Writers who don’t typically plan—don’t worry. Read through your bullet point list to refresh yourself.

If you don’t get any ideas like the list above, just start writing. You can update your list with what you write in each chapter as you go, just so you’ll always know where you are in the plot when you sit back down to write again.

Step 5: Check Your Theme or Point

After reviewing your outline, consider if it carries and fulfills your theme or main point that you listed at the top of your document. It should! That’s what creates the bliss of closing a book and knowing every loose end got tied up.

Step 6: Write Your Heart Out

Writers who haven’t written with an existing outline might panic a bit here too. Let me set the scene—when I have a working bullet list outline, I keep it open in its own tab. Then I have another tab with my manuscript.

I usually split my screen in half so I can see both documents, but the manuscript takes up more space so I can see the entirety of each paragraph. I review where I’m at in my outline, then jump into the writing process. The outline is always a click away if I can’t quite remember where the chapter is going, what specific details I planned, or where it’s supposed to end.

Optional Step: Include a “Possible Plot Points” Section

I love letting outlines sit so I can add to them over the course of weeks or even months. At the same time, it creates tons of random ideas that don’t always fit into my outline when I sift through everything and make chapter headings.

The ideas or details that don’t make my outline go in a separate section that I call “Possible Plot Points.” If a chapter is noticeably short, boring, or just plain missing something, I’ll go back to this section. There’s usually something that I can add into my current chapter. Most of the time, I get inspired by the old ideas.

Nothing you write down during your outlining is a waste! Save it all. The stuff you don’t use will become useful later, I promise.

***

Try this version of outlining for yourself! Whether you’re plotting on paper or your computer, outlining is an immense help in writing long-form stories or books.

Writeblr Intro!!!

Hello lovelies! I just realized I never made one of these and thought that I should give it a go lol.

You guys can call me Sleepy or whatever you want (as long as it's not deprecating IDC) i'm a 23-year-old bisexual white woman and live in the US.

My pronouns are she/her but if you call be dude or whatever I don't really care.

I have ADHD and social anxiety. I have been writing on and off since I was in middle school and only just started getting serious about it last year.

I have one finished story that you can find on Wattpad called "My Knight in Leather " though it is my very first finished story so there are some plot holes and all that jazz throughout it im sure lol. I'm still proud of it though.

If you want to find me on Wattpad my username is the same as on here sleepywriter00.

I write mostly romance, but am looking into writing a fantasy romance soon, but that really depends on when the inspiration strikes lol.

I'm not a very interesting person, but if you want to know more about me or my WIPs, my asks are open!

Love you all and have a great day!

PLIGHT OF THE ORACLE - WIP (RE)INTRODUCTION

BLURB

Power corrupts even the most worthy.

Newly proclaimed Crown Princess, Sicosa Dy Altrium, is sent to Zenier to study under the High Priestess. During her stay the Conclave of Nite meets to discuss the state of The Nite Treaty and the threat to the five hundred years of peace. Sitting in for her father, Sciosa realizes The Nite Region is in deeper water than one thought. With ill omens and whispers of the hells gates opening, The Last Dawn is near. Sciosa must take up the mantle to unite the Nations, as is her calling from the gods. With visions of a would be enemy warning her of those around her, the Princess finds herself struggling to know who to trust. Those who are working alongside her who've earned her trust, or the man with kind words and love in his eyes. When the King of Saevi is proclaimed dead, one thing remains clear; peace will never be an option for the war riddled Nite Region.

In the South, past the Glistening Sea, Vultis seeks to conquer Nivra. As war wages on Zemorri of Pyros, a bastard with royalty hidden in his blood, is sent to help turn the tide. The King's Champion is tasked with returning with a holy artifact once Nivra fall, only one problem. Zemorri doesn't wish to serve the Usurper who sits his throne, nor does he intend to let Nivra fall. Though when he treats with the Nivarian King, Zemorri finds out there is much more to this war than meets the eye. He must decide, and quickly, if he will let Nivra fall and strengthen the Usurper's reign or turn a blind eye to the ruin of the Nite Region and take what is rightfully his.

✧ Maji ✧ 20's ✧ She/her ✧ Writer ✧

Hi! My name is Maji (ma-jee). I thought curating a blog all about writing would be fun, so here I am! A little bit about me: I struggle with social anxiety and possibly agoraphobia, and I'm at home all day, every day, with plenty of time for writing. I don't write as much as I want to, so surrounding myself with content about writing will hopefully give me a much needed boost in inspiration and motivation.

I believe writer's block is a thing (nuanced) and I'm always looking for ways to beat it.

If you're reading this and you're into writing as well, hello fellow tormented soul! Have you written anything today? Maybe you're staring at the dreaded blank page or scrolling through writeblr like I am instead of writing? 🧐 Please give me a follow or interact so I can check your blog out! I'm shy, but I would love to be mutuals and just like and reblog your content.

Feel free to tag me in tag games and stuff! It might take me a while to get to them though. ʚĭɞ

Running a worldbuilding blog @the-desert-lands

Random things about me:

I love coffee, but I'm biased towards hot chocolate as well. Also I can be bribed with cookies, just saying.

I used to be able to read 300 page books in a day. I'd just get so lost in the sauce. Now I'm lucky if I read a whole chapter. How I have fallen. 😔 (Trying to fix this by reading an hour at a time)

I don't know anything about Franz Kafka or Clarice Lispector or Slyvia Plath but they're tortured and relatable and their writing is like a spoonful of honey. (Idk why I'm saying this)

If you write anything that had to do with religious trauma- or any trauma really- please let me know! That's the good stuff.

The Duality Of The Writer

Me: *Writing* One voice: "This is just the best thing ever! I can't believe how good this is - I'm basically a creative GENIUS! I need to publish this as soon as I can because I can't deny the world this PERFECTION!" Other voice: "What if it's absolute despicable word-salad and you just don't realise it? Then you'll publish it and get ripped apart by a hundred thousand mocking reviews because you never realised you're basically illiterate before now." #Both of these are going on at the same time, always.
