#AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BACKFILL IIIIIT
Text
Why is it so hard to decide what characters are Actually Doing and why is there no advice on the topic
#There's always advice for adjacent stuff#Like to describe or decide how or to define their motivations#How to start writing or stop#But there's no advice I've seen abt how to decide what specific thing your characters are trying to achieve#Like how to make their general motivation specific#What the organization is actually fucking doing#What the evil plan is#And it's just like so god damn embarrassing I am have a whole story I have my themes but there is a central thing#That the characters are DOING#That the themes REVOLVE AROUND#AND THE THING ITSELF IS A PLACEHOLDER#AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BACKFILL IIIIIT#There's never even advice for how to actually connect scenes#Ppl will be like ''just write the next scene and figure out how they get there later'' LIKE OK WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT'S LATER AND I#STILL DON'T KNOWWWW#I'm so bad at Events and it's so annoying#I'm confident enough in prose and themes and arc and conflict structure and dialogue and description and even characterization#Like I'm satisfied w/ my skill in all of those for what I wanna do#But in terms of EVENTS ?#I can't even write like mediocre fic because I CANNOT THINK OF *THINGS FOR THEM TO BE DOING*
