#Do the Writing

[walkingstackofbooks]

Fuck, I can't even get this scene going right even in my brain, let alone putting anything to paper 😭

I have such a clear vision for the VIBE of this scene, but I'm realising more and more I ahve no clue how it actually plays out and fuck why did I ever put a deadline on myself, every time I do that it never gets done in the time I want it toooooo

Anyway yea no writing today... I'm really highly doubting I'll be finsihing Vision Awry this week even though it's SO CLOSE I COULD TOUCH IT. My brain just needs to work and it's refusing to!

... It probably doesn't help that I'm kind of envisaging that this will be The Comfort Of All Time bc you know, that's how you end a 90k hurt/comfort fic, AND YET I CAN'T WRITE COMFORT WHY DID I THINK THIS CHAPTER WAS A GOOD IDEA? 😅😅😅😅

Lol if anyone can teach me how to write good comfort in 3 days that'd be cool 🤣

NOTICE: As more and more fanfic writers are using generative AI for their works (you uncreative dweebs), I hereby swear on everything I hold dear that I have not and will NEVER use generative AI in ANY of my written work. Everything I post will be organically and creatively my own.

nothing but respect for our troops (smut writers) but listen. i dont want to be the person to tell you this, but not every character is going to be a dom or a sub. some people. and i know this is hard to hear. but some people do have vanilla sex. and some of those people might even be The Character.

you can pry starting sentences with 'and' or 'but' out of my cold, dead hands

kids these days are like “i need chat gpt to write an essay that would normally take 12 hours in 2” but back in my day i did that all the time by using a little technique called “writing some absolute bullshit.” and yet i still walked away with a better essay and more critical thinking skills than i would get if i used chatgpt. write a bad essay that you started on the day it was due, but write it yourself.

sometimes a theme recurs in your work without your permission. and sometimes it reaches a threshold where you're like. well now i think this is saying something about me against my will. don't know what though

Re reading the original hunger games is so funny bcus katniss can literally read haymitch's mind like what. I'm dying of thirst but haymitch hasn't sent me water, that must mean that there's some nearby!! And one kiss is one pot of broth!! Like she even acknowledges that it's strange when she's like oh to peeta this would just be a pot of broth. Haymitch will give her one look and katniss knows immediately what he means and she's right every time

Meanwhile peeta is like your dress really suits you and you look nice :) and katniss is like he's trying to kill me

Do you ever write a sentence and then realize “Nah, that’s too self aware for you” and backspace a bunch of times.

do people have no shame anymore?

speculative fiction writers i am going to give you a really urgent piece of advice: don't say numbers. don't give your readers any numbers. how heavy is the sword? lots. how old is that city? plenty. how big is the fort? massive. how fast is the spaceship? not very, it's secondhand.

the minute you say a number your readers can check your math and you cannot do math better than your most autistic critic. i guarantee. don't let your readers do any math. when did something happen? awhile ago. how many bullets can that gun fire? trick question, it shoots lasers, and it shoots em HARD.

you are lying to people for fun. if you let them do math at you the lie collapses and it's no fun anymore.

Honestly, I love it when characters relapse. When someone who’s gotten over their anger issues falls into a situation so out of their depth they fall back on their old habits. When someone who’s learned to open up becomes a recluse again in order to cope with something outside their control.

There’s just something so horrible, so toxic, about watching a character grow and then slip back into their old selves in order to cope, bc you know they still care, that they’re the same inside, but watching them hurt so hard they don’t know what else to do brings a sense of catharsis.

Writing Exercise: The Blender

Down to the last two cue card writing exercises. For this one, combine two classic opening lines. This could be anything from a children’s book, classic tale, fable, or otherwise. I’ve got a list below to help. Once upon a time… It was a dark and stormy night… In a land far, far away… There once was… It all began when… A long, long time ago… Many years ago in a village… Back when the…
