Encourage a Writer Week Prompt: OC Aesthetic

As part of the Encourage a Writer Event I thought I'd offer a creative prompt.

Writers, create a moodboard or aesthetic for your character(s) using any or all of the prompts below:

❤️ Color that represents your character

🧡 Flower/plant you associate with your character

💛 Animal that you associate with your character or best represents your character

💚 Hobbies the character enjoys

💙 Natural Elements your character relates to

💜 Quote, saying, or lyrics you associate with your character

💖 Anything at all that makes you think of your character and you enjoy.

Hopefully, you create something beautiful that inspires you and helps your readers learn more about your character. If you create something feel free to tag this blog and I'll share it as well! 💕

Hi, Lori! I hope you're doing fine.

For the Encourage a Writer Week Prompt: OC Aesthetic, could you please answer to 🧡💙💜 (sorry I'm greedy 🫣) to whichever OC you feel inspired to?

Have a lovely weekend!

Dani, my dear! ❤️ I'm doing well and I hope so are you. Sorry for taking so long to answer. I got a little sidetracked with a few other stuff, but I didn't forget it.

While I was planning these, I realized only two of my OCs actually have a favourite flower. Ironically, they're mother and daughter 😏

[Actually, Samantha and Alisha also have favorite flowers (violets and vanilla orchid respectively) but I couldn't come up with anything for Sam about the quotes or natural elements 😓 for Alisha, I might try later the flower and the natural element]

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” — J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

"Even not knowing what love is, they knew it was good." — Jorge Amado, Capitães de Areia.

I forgot to add to Daphne's character profile, she really likes gardening (it's grandma Nuo Wang's influence). It's one of the hobbies she also has in common with Lady Dominique and she passed her hobby along to Talia. Daphne has many plants in her apartment balcony and a kitchen garden. Talia always wants to be part of both her parents daily activities, so she becomes her mom's little helper every now and then (just like her mother was to both of her grandmothers).

Daphne's natural element is light. Light brings out the colors, it's associated to ideas and good things. She likes places with sunlight, candles, artificial lights, but acknowledges there wouldn't be light without the darkness.

Talia's element is wind. She looks like Daphne physically, but personality wise, she is Hamid's child through and through. Like him, she is guided by where the wind (and her heart) takes her, she's gentle and soft, but also a hurricane.

I'm not really good at finding inspiring quotes for my characters ngl, but I found these quotes from authors I like and I think they fit Daphne's and Talia's personalities really well.

Thanks for the ask!

Have a wonderful day, amiga! 😘

Just create the thing you want to create. Because who's going to stop you? Oh, it's you yourself? Well you can't let that bastard win, can you?

to you, it's a shitty sentence. to some random bitch 500 miles away, it's a fire line that'll haunt them for the next 17 years.

you don't know how impactful your writing is because it's been in your brain for far too long now. you've stared at it for hours and repeated "this sucks" over and over again to the point that you killed your capacity to feel anything about your work.

but trust me, once you get your shit out there, someone's gonna go over that paragraph you hate and go "jesus fucking christ" and put the book down to have an existential crisis.

I am going to take a deep breath and just remind you:

Writing is messy, even for the best authors. It's supposed to feel a little uncomfortable, exhilarating, freeing, natural, and terrifying.

It's supposed to inspire you and feel like a too-heavy backpack.

Sometimes, you're going to love being a writer and sometimes, you'll feel so disconnected, you'll wonder if you were ever a writer to begin with.

Give yourself room to make mistakes and hate your work and return to it with renewed confidence that yes, you will get 1% better next time.

It's what we're all going through. Let's speed up the growing process a little by accepting the entirety of it.

I had never believed in the happy ending type of love. The only love I knew gave me nervous butterflies and inflicted pain. Somehow I've made it here to tell you that I was wrong. Love isn't supposed to be that way. The love you deserve is warm and safe and easy. That love is out there waiting for you.

You should feel proud of your writing.

You shouldn't cringe when you reread your own writing. Cringe culture, especially in writing, is so overrated. Love your writing. Remind yourself what made you so passionate about your WIPs to start with.

You'll be surprised how much more motivated you feel to write when you allow yourself to space to actually be proud of and love what you're doing.

What to give a fuck about,while writing your first draft!

I`ve posted a list about things you don´t need to give a fuck about while writing your first draft. Here are things you NEED TO CARE about! (in my opinion)

Your Authentic Voice: Don't let the fear of judgment or comparison stifle your unique voice. I know it´s hard,but try to write from your heart, and don't worry about perfection in the first draft. Let your authenticity shine through your words.

Your Story, Your Way: It's your narrative, your world, and your characters. Don't let external expectations or trends dictate how your story should unfold. Write the story you want to tell.

Progress Over Perfection: Your first draft is not the final product; it's the raw material for your masterpiece. Give a fuck about making progress, not achieving perfection. Embrace imperfections and understand that editing comes later.

Consistency and Routine: Discipline matters. Make a commitment to your writing routine and stick to it.

Feedback and Growth: While it's essential to protect your creative space during the first draft, be open to constructive feedback later on. Giving a f*ck about growth means you're willing to learn from others and improve your work.

Self-Compassion: Mistakes, writer's block, and self-doubt are all part of the process. Give a f*ck about being kind to yourself. Don't beat yourself up if the words don't flow perfectly every time. Keep pushing forward and remember that writing is a journey.

Remember, the first draft is your canvas, your playground. Don't bog yourself down with unnecessary worries.

Write because you love it.

Write because it inspires something in you

Write because you have a story to tell.

Write because you are writer

(Notes, likes, comments, reblogs don't make you a writer. Writing makes you a writer. Believe in yourself 💖)

when you find a fanfic writer whose work just sings to you… i would read anything you write…. i would wade into a tag no matter how deranged… i would travel to the ends of the earth for you if only to soothe your little oyster shell just so you would be comfortable enough to make another pearl whenever you felt like it … i would love you tenderly and support you as you carefully place every grain of sand onto your little castle, regardless of how long it takes, if only to enjoy your words just a little longer

I'll let y'all fanfic readers in on a little secret: if you find a writer who portrays your favs or that specific trope just right and you want to get more of it, the trick is reblogging or even just commenting and/or going wild in the tags, and you'll probably get more

listen, I am but a simple duck, if you feed me I'll just FEAST on those crumbs and you can bet your ass I'll come back to that pond for some additional bread crumb feasting

I haven't abandoned this story. I just put it on the back burner for now. The story is just on a small vacation. It is currently out of office. It can't come to the phone right now. It just fell under my bed to sleep with the monsters. It never left my head. It is everywhere - except on paper.

In writing, whether it be a published novel, fanfiction, or just for fun, stop trying to base how you write off of other people

I keep seeing so many chains and threads about story pet-peeves, and I know seeing something you do posted there can be deterring, but do your best to ignore them.

Everyone has different pet-peeves and everyone has a different aspect they search for in a story. Not everything will appeal to everyone and that’s ok and that’s incredible.

If you try to eliminate every pet-peeve, try to include everything people said they like, you won’t enjoy writing. Because at that point, it’s no longer your story

The readers can tell when a writer had fun writing vs when it feels forced. So write what you like; be your own target audience. Because eventually, there will be people who appreciate and enjoy your story as much as you do
