What happens when I have a fic idea:

Then:

Eventually I start running in the right direction:

And finally:

Before it's too late. Before the moment is gone. Before the vibe left the brain.

My last idea: Dean is dancing and singing in the library, knowing everybody is out somewhere else. At first he is shy and then he goes wild but by then Cas walks in on him and falls in love all over again.

#in my brain I know the vibe of that fic #I want to describe his moves going from shy to wild #I'll have to look at names of dance moves in english because I know nothing about that #in my brain it's well described #but reality is hardly the same #I'll do my best anyway #where did I get this idea you might wonder #huh well I was just doing what dean will do in the fic I guess #fortunately or unfortunately #no one walked in on me #fic idea #when the inspiration strikes #of course it's only if this doesn't happen when I'm not in the shower or somewhere else where I can't get my laptop #writing fanfiction #writing process #kinda #destiel fic #destiel #deancas #castiel #dean winchester #my destiel fanfic

ficwip word: motion

Jamie walks on his knees across the pitch, watches with a thrill and a spike of heat as Roy's jaw drops. He's speechless, motionless, when Jamie comes to kneel between his feet. Speechless, motionless, and - when Jamie sneaks a glance before averting his eyes respectfully back to Roy's face - hard.

Hi Rat!

I'm always so awestruck and inspired by your works (both art and writing). Can I ask if you have any advice on battling through brain fog when writing? I come up with so many ideas for stories but when it comes to laying out each sentence I struggle so much to organise my thoughts and get clarity in my mind. You seem to have it all figured out!

Thank you! <3

mann i’m sorry i’ve been stewing on this trying to come up with something helpful but i’m right there with you. usually i just leave it and move onto something else that gets my brain moving again, but then i end up in a cluster of WIPs and that in itself can be a struggle to manage

having a specific writing process that appeals to my brain helps a lot, with all my lil outlining steps and dot points etc. finding your own process that aligns with your concentration flow might help appease the fog (see my #writing process tag for more about this!)

how do you write a liar?

How to Write Liars Believably

Language

The motive of every goal is the make the lie seem plausible while taking blame off the speaker, so liars will often project what they say to a third party: "Katie said that..."

Referring to third parties as "they" rather than he or she

In the case of a deliberate lie prepped beforehand, there will be an overuse of specific names (rather than pronouns) as the speaker tries to get the details right.

Overuse of non-committal words like "something may have happened"

Masking or obscuring facts like "to the best of my knowledge" and “it is extremely unlikely," etc.

Avoiding answers to specific, pressing questions

Voice

There's isn't a set tone/speed/style of speaking, but your character's speech patten will differ from his normal one.

People tend to speak faster when they're nervous and are not used to lying.

Body Language

Covering their mouth

Constantly touching their nose

fidgeting, squirming or breaking eye contact

turning away, blinking faster, or clutching a comfort object like a cushion as they speak

nostril flaring, rapid shallow breathing or slow deep breaths, lip biting, contracting, sitting on your hands, or drumming your fingers. 

Highly-trained liars have mastered the art of compensation by freezing their bodies and looking at you straight in the eye.

Trained liars can also be experts in the art of looking relaxed. They sit back, put their feet up on the table and hands behind their head.

For deliberate lies, the character may even carefully control his body language, as though his is actually putting on a show

The Four Types of Liars

Deceitful: those who lie to others about facts

2. Delusional: those who lie to themselves about facts

3. Duplicitious: those who lie to others about their values

Lying about values can be even more corrosive to relationships than lying about facts. 

4. Demoralized: those who lie to themselves about their values

Additional Notes

Genuine smiles or laughs are hard to fake

Exaggerations of words (that would normally not be emphasized) or exaggerated body language

Many savvy detectives ask suspects to tell the story in reverse or non-linear fashion to expose a lie. They often ask unexpected, or seemingly irrelevant questions to throw suspects off track.

Forbidden Romance Prompts

Sneaking out of an event/party to be together

Holding hands under the table at meals, hoping nobody catches on

Secret glances in public/out with friends

Finding excuses to see each other (group project, work meeting, car troubles, etc.)

Texting/writing letters to one another and having to hide their responses

Seeing each other in public and having to ignore each other/stay apart, as much as it hurts

Secret meeting spots

Being discovered and begging to keep things quiet

Fake enemies

Planning to run away together (you would never do it)

Kissing in the car

Small gifts

Why is it forbidden?

It's always risky killing off a character but if you have to, you must have them HAUNT the narrative. Let their death and absence be constantly felt at some level.

writers writing: pacing must be an intentional element of mood and style; grammar and punctuation has to be on point; wording needs to be perfect.!!

writers texting: im.,, silly. i put the punctuation whereever my heart desires........ must not sound upright or passive aggressive.,,,,
