awesome writers room!!!

🙏 writeblr gods please see this, shine down upon my post from beyond pls 🙏

my boyfriend and i have recently taken over the discord server we met in and are trying to revive and grow the community there -- its a lovely cosy server open to fans of writing, art and character design, anyone who wants to make new friends to create and explore their imaginary worlds with or find peers to review and read their work

we also now have the facilities to post your own long-form stories, comics, galleries or blogs for other people to enjoy and react to in our own community hub (but truth be told rn, just between you and me, it's a lil bit empty -- and we'd love to have your incredible creativity to fill it)

it's very lbtq and poc friendly, and we hope many of you will make it your writing, art, and creativity home. it's also (drumrolllll) RIGHT HERE GUYS: [insert discord invite]

[nbwriteschaos]

would anyone be interested in a writeblr discord server that is focused on writing, yes, but also other interests too? like a place where we can make friends and vc and play video games and just vibe? pls interact with this if ur interested!!

Welcome to the Garden!

aka what i made my theme poll about ages ago and then completely forgot about.

The Garden is an 18+ discord server for writers! Come talk about what you're writing, hang out with other writers, and have a grand time! We'll have events surrounding things like Camp Nano and full NaNo, as well as other fun times to members to join in if they wish. Members may also claim their own personal patches - channels in which to talk about their projects in a dedicated space!

We look forward to seeing you in the Garden! Come grow with us!

PSA for fanfic writers

[tahbhie]

How many drafts should you go through before deciding your novel is ready?

There's no specific (official) number, but to create a foundation that ensures you don't burn out quickly, overwork yourself, and get tired of your work, I'll say four. It's the same number I use for my students since most of them have other engagements outside writing that take up a copious amount of their time.

1. Initial or Zero Draft:

This draft is also called the 'just write' draft. Focus on putting that idea down. As the creative juices flow, let it all out. Don't worry about perfection or coherence; the goal is to capture your raw ideas and get the story out of your head and onto the page.

2. Second Draft:

This is the plot draft. Read through what you have written to see if every detail you added was meant to be. Here, you focus on the structure of your story. Ensure that the plot makes sense, the pacing is right, and there are no major plot holes. This is where you might add, remove, or rearrange scenes to improve the overall flow of the narrative.

3. Third Draft:

Character development draft. In this stage, you look deeper into your characters. Make sure their motivations, backgrounds, and arcs are well-defined and consistent. Flesh out their personalities and relationships, ensuring they are compelling and believable. This is also a good time to refine dialogue and make sure it sounds natural and true to each character. That's for this drafting stage.

4. Fourth Draft:

Grammar and punctuation draft. This is the polishing stage. Focus on correcting grammatical errors, punctuation, and spelling mistakes. Pay attention to sentence structure, word choice, and overall readability. This draft is about making your manuscript as clean and professional as possible.

Keep in mind that the goal is to define what completion means for each draft. Once you reach the goal, take a break and return to it for the next drafting stage.

Some writers pay people to carry out some of the drafting stages for them, so if you fall into that category, you might have fewer drafting stages to handle yourself!

Reblog to save for later 😉

Thank you all for the support 💜!

Discord update!

We have enough players to start one game, so now we're just looking at times to hang out and make characters, have a session zero, etc. so I can start customising the campaign!

So far, looks like people are free on Fridays, so does that sound good?

Also I thought I'd let you know, we can definitely run more than one game on there. I can make new channels for whoever wants to DM other than myself, so if you see this post and you want in to the Writeblr D&D Discord, just let me know !

Writeblr DnD Discord!

Hey everyone! I've had some interest in running or being part of a DnD game with people from writeblr. I have a taglist, so if you want to be added, let me know!

I'm making a discord (and a roll20 game as soon as I get a better idea of what we're doing and what kind of game we're going to go forward with). I'll send out invites for the discord for people on the taglist soon.

For those on the taglist, hit me up with ideas! What kind of game do you want to play? Would like to DM or learn how to DM?

Most first drafts are bad and that’s okay. Even bestselling authors rewrite their books multiple times.

obligatory "#not sponsored" lmao

(and less obligatory #i hate companies)

aight, so, for literal YEARS i've been using discord for my writing notes and outlines. like, literal fucking YEARS.

in the past, i've been a huge advocate of people and especially fellow discord users making their own servers in order to follow my example. personally, i find the system of organization (ESPECIALLY with the server-wide "search" function) extremely useful. i see the combination of categories/channels/threads as an incredibly intuitive system for notes.

exhibit a:

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!

discord has been getting worse and worse over the years! :D

in my eyes, the biggest offender is that they keep pushing forward terrible ui updates. they're either full of bugs or had testers literally BEG for them to NOT be implemented. had testers bring out accessibility concerns. and there is literally no way to opt-out of these changes.

and yet they implemented them anyway.

i'm autistic. i hate the random changes and i need a larger text for a number of reasons (this is not delving into the bug with larger-font text getting cut off in the last update...). i absolutely despise the disregard for accessibility concerns and the fact that they're implementing absolutely hideous changes nobody asked for for no real reason.

SO I'VE GONE TO OBSIDIAN!

and omfg, I just want to say that obsidian is amazing. not only is it great for gathering my writing notes, but im actually switching to it from google docs with my school notes.

LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY

YOU CAN CLOSE THE DROPDOWNS TOO

AND THEY HAVE A GREAT SYSTEM TO VISUALIZE THE CONNECTIONS FROM ONE THING TO ANOTHER! AS WELL AS A THING TO THE SIDE THAT JUST LISTS THEM!

(although I wish there was a "manual sort" option... I just have it sorted from oldest to newest rn lol)

and you can link the different "points" to one another from within!

(they can also link to ones not directly "above" them)

BUT YEAH!

anyway, discord as a company sucks and i'm never getting nitro again, obsidian is great, try it out, rant over. ❤️
