The Weekly Writing Update #2
08.13.22
Week two!!
I’m a few hundred words in. I’m a bit slow, but I’m making progress. Right now I’m just finding the right wording and putting the pieces I have in the right places so that this mess somewhat resembles a story.
⇨ I want to create a more consistent schedule. Maybe writing 200 words a day. It’s not a whole lot so I don’t feel overwhelmed, but not so little that a weeks worth is still major progress. This could lead to a chapter each week (if I can stick to this plan)
⇨ I have a character that I don’t know what to do with. The plot has gone through so many changes, I don’t know how to fit him in without overloading the plot, but I also don’t want to just get rid of his character
That’s it for this week! It’s not much, I’m hoping to have more progress next week.
XOXO~
@ fanfic authors: don’t apologise for writing filler chapters! i see this all the time!! filler chapters are so important to narrative pacing! a story needs downtime so the faster paced or denser elements have room to breathe! you’re writing a well balanced story!!! also, you’re giving me that filler for free! thats crazy!!! thats so kind of you!!! thank you for this gift!!!!!!

If you’ve got an idea, write it down. Don’t overanalyze it. Just start writing and allow the plot to lead you.
watching characters try to fight the narrative like i'm a roman senator at the coliseum
The Weekly Writing Update #6
09.10.22
This past week has been and this next week will be spent outlining the plot down to each chapter. Up till now, it’s been a bunch of ideas all vaguely spread out between beginning, middle, and end. But it’s caused a lot of chaos and I’ve changed and rewritten the plot many times, so a chapter-by-chapter layout of the plot will do me MUCH good :)
The past week, I got the chart set up and started a little bit. But this next week I plan to work on it way more and hopefully complete it!
Here is the chart layout btw if anyone wants it use it!
XOXO~
I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you’re able to write loads & make lots of progress <3
Superior writing advice:
Make your characters FREAKS. Make them DERANGED. Make people think ‘surely this one guy towards the back is normal’ only to reveal FUCK NO. The guy in the back exclusively collects clown paintings (paintings done by professional clowns) and has an irrational hatred of second floors.
The Weekly Writing Update #1
08.06.22
Howdy! This week is the first official writing update for my wip! There isn't much, but I do have a couple things;
⇨ I have officially decided to call my wip The Prince, The Prodigy, & the Seeing Eye, at least until I think of a better title. I'll use that tag on all posts related to my wip
⇨ I fixed the beginning scene to fit better, and the words are flowing easier!
⇨ I do have one concern: one character who is going to be a crucial part of the first book and a main character, isn't going to be as central in the rest of the series. I'm worried this is bad or if I should fix it, but I know its something I can worry about later
That's all I have for this week, most of the past two days was me changing my main into this writerblr, and trying to fix that mess in chapter one.
XOXO~
