Brainstorming At 3 AM: This Will Be An Epic Saga Of Love, Betrayal, And Redemption.

real picture of me trying to figure out the plot of my novel so it makes sense

Oikeesti parhaat kirjotusneuvot mitä oon nähny

1. Kirjota ihan vitusti

2. Jos sä pidät siitä niin se ei koskaan oo turhaa tai ajan tuhlaamista vaikka sitä ei koskaan julkaistas

3. Joka kerta kun sä kirjotat jotain uudestaan tai kirjotat jotain mikä ei koskaan tuu julkastuks sä opit siitä, ja opit kaikesta huonosta mitä kirjotat

Daydreaming about my book:

Writing my book:

if your main character isn’t at least a little morally questionable, are they even fun to write? give them some issues. let them be messy.

Tää kohtaus on kristallinkirkas mun päässä miKS MÄ EN OSAA KIRJOTTAA SITÄ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

Yes, I am writing a deeply vulnerable exploration of the psyche and the human condition.

Yes, I am writing about blorbo getting railed nasty style.

They are the same work. This is not a contradiction.

I realised that plot holes are only holes because you keep forgetting to repair them. If you actually sew them up with a bunch of made up shit occasionally, then they won't get so big. I somehow made my world building make sense by just adding reasons why its like that.

Why doesn't anyone know about the other plains of the dodecahedron? well obviously it's because everyone thinks you just fall off the edge and whatever you see after that is The After Life. You know, folklore and totally not a complete plot hole with an half arsed explanation slapped on top.

That phase in revising your novel when the pieces are finally connecting and you finally understand why it's not good yet so you can actually fix it... love it. This is why I write.
