anyone else have to remind themselves from time to time that they’re in charge of their characters and the plot line? meaning you can quite literally make them do *whatever* you want?
idk why i tend to forget that sometimes. i’ll often find myself pondering certain ideas i get and think to myself “hm, no. i couldn’t possibly do that.”
when i quite literally can???
like i just had the craziest storyline idea for three of my characters and thought to myself “no, i can’t do that. that’s too big of a game changer.”
the thing is, i could do it. and i probably will😭 god this is too much fun. i feel like a mad scientist who’s been given too much power
nobody talks about the physical pain of writing a really good emotional scene. it’s like ripping your own heart out for fun.
over 103,000 words written and i’m still only about 60% through book 3…… that’s what i get for being a representative of the thicc book committee
it might also have something to do with the fact that i have nine main characters, tons of important side characters and plots, and lore that runs deeper than a rabbit hole but idk
anyone else terrified that their story idea is secretly terrible but too stubborn to give up on it?
i’m a writer, of course my love language is words of affirmation
(say you melt at the touch of my hand, tell me how your desire burns with the heat of a thousand suns, make me feel like you could remember me even if our paths crossed in another life; if i had different eyes, would you recognize me?)
this!!
If you’re shrouded in writers block and desperately want to shoo it away to keep going with your WIP, it sometimes helps to delete the last few sentences/paragraph/scene and rewrite it. Sometimes you accidentally build dams in your creative stream and the only way around is to go back and break it down
just had a #writerscare thinking i astronomically fucked up a crucial part of a storyline in my book series…😁
one of the hardest parts of writing interconnected stories tbh lol the stress of everything having to perfectly align as to avoid even the tiniest plot hole is a lot
thankfully, i figured it out and saved myself from the impending meltdown!
is this a safe space? i hate writing sex scenes.
that’s like the one thing i try my hardest to include very little of. but it’s hard bc i know some people enjoy reading those scenes when it comes to romance stories specifically, (which is completely fine! no judgement whatsoever!) i just hate writing them😭
i much prefer alluding to it or transitioning into a scene break/cut. but like i said, i know some readers enjoy reading those moments so i force myself to include some crumbs of it. which is fine, i guess. i’ll survive how awkward i feel, no big deal
“I’ve never felt so safe with someone the way I do with Sam. When I’m in his arms, I feel like there’s nothing in this world that can hurt me.
Because he would never let anything in this world hurt me.
Because this is exactly where I’m supposed to be.
Because when I’m in his arms, I feel like I’m home.”
