An ask game for writers to procrastinate working on your WIP(s)
Thank you for the tags @shrekgogurt @bookish-bogwitch @cutestkilla and @monbons!
1. 🦈Tell us the name of your/one of your WIP(s):
My one and only WIP is Only Creatures. I’m not a multitasker. When I have a story in my head, I need to write it until it’s out.
2. 🍄Describe your WIP/one of your WIP(s) in the format of “___ + ___ =___”
sad poet Baz Pitch + dragon camboy Simon Snow = obvious inspiration for Taylor Swift’s forthcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department
3. 🌍What tags or warnings will one of your WIP(s) need if you intend to share it?
heartbreak (So. Much. Heartbreak.)
4. 🧭An alternative title to one of your WIP(s)?
Sprung Rhythm, which is a metrical system devised by the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins. He intended it to reflect the dynamic quality of common speech. It’s beautiful. For an example, read The Windhover. But I decided if I needed to footnote my title, perhaps I should choose a different title.
5. ⚠️Which WIP are you most likely to finish or update next?
Only Creatures. Like I said, THE STORY MUST OUT.
6. 💾What is your document of your WIP/ a WIP called? (not the stories actual title but what you’ve saved it as)
onlycreatures (boring, but true)
7. 🖍Post Any sentence(s) from your WIP.
“He really is the worst camboy ever to cam.”
8. ♻️A scrapped idea for your current WIP.
I only ever have a single draft and I write linearly, so ideas that get scrapped are ruthlessly command X-ed and never heard from again, but I did find this bullet point: “B has full beard and it takes S a minute to recognize him.” Nope, S instantly recognizes B. Full beard be damned.
9. 🤔What’s a story you’d love to write but haven’t even started yet?
One day I will write "Simon and Baz adopt the Humdrum." It will be dedicated to @cutestkilla and she will regret encouraging me. Also, I want to write a sequel to ALBD, except it will be in the style of a pulp detective novel.
10. 🤡How many WIPS are you actively working on?
To quote, Ghostface Killah: "How many cakes we bake, y’all? One"
11. 🛠Is there a scene or anything in the WIP you are struggling with right now?
Baz and Simon are about to have a fight (verbal). I’m no good at that. I usually write my ships as two perfect-for-each-other nutters against the fucked up world. Writing conflict BETWEEN my two perfect-for-each-other nutters is tough.
12. ❤️Not a question, just a second Kudos to send.
ALL OF THE KUDOS ALL OF THE COMMENTS ALL OF THE BOOKMARKS ALL OF THE SUBSCRIPTIONS TO ALL OF THE WRITERS OUT THERE AND THE LOVELY READERS WHO LEAVE KUDOS AND COMMENTS TOO. Y’ALL ARE THE BEST. As Ghostface said, "We all connect as one."
I suspect everyone has already done this and/or is cursing being repeatedly tagged, but... @artsyunderstudy @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @mooncello @larkral @best--dress @noblecorgi
