Anybody else hates it when you suddenly got the strong urge to write, but then when you went to your draft, the urge just went *poof*? 😀

[Woken up at 3 am]:

ME: Whoa, this is the best plot idea EVER!

MY MIND: Um, better get up and write it down.

ME: You kiddin' me?! I'll never forget it, this is TOO BRILLIANT!

[In the morning]:

ME:

ME: Well, f*ck.

(I'm pretty sure there are hundreds of posts like this)

What I find the most satisfying thing in writing is not the process, which is also good and soothing, but finally reading the final version before publishing it and thinking how good it turned out and how people will like it.

Of course, a few days later I might read it again, wondering how on earth I could produce such an extraordinary piece of shit, but that's another story.

I just realized that every time I write an AU for VegasPete, Vegas is either very cynical or aloof or the everyone-is-against-me or just a throbbing mess around Pete. And Pete is either the flirty, the repeat offender bratty on Vegas' nerves (but Vegas loves it) or that very loving soft cutie everyone wants a hug (but Vegas will chop the hands of those who dare to do so).

You know work and life in general finally allow you to think and create when you literally have to wake up and write the lines popping in your brain so you don't forget about it when you actually get up later.

Getting back into the swing of writing after several months away is so hard. Like, I know what I want to happen in this chapter. The Emotions. The Relationships. The Themes. The Foreshadow. But then when I sit down and open my laptop and open my word doc, it’s all just, “I’ve got nothing”. I’m trying and sometimes I only get a sentence or two down, if that, and I know that’s progress, but it’s not enough. It’s not enough for where I want to be.

I’m not looking for advice. I guess this is just me letting any of you who still follow Night-Bringer or Wild Magic or A Brother Made of Stardust know that my hoped-for updates this summer might take longer than I’d, well, hoped. My deepest apologies.

"The author wouldn't do that, the series is a trilogy and there's only one book left to publish!"

"The author wouldn't kill X Character, he's too important!"

"The author wouldn't ruin X Relationship, they've already been through so much together and have a life together!"

Bitch, the author has done everything under the sun and has even dug down to Hell to find things to put us through. The author would definitely do all of this.

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them? #“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years. #thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me. #idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist

One massive, legitimate way to improve as a writer or artist or in any creative endeavor really, is to become absolutely obsessed with something and to allow yourself to be weird about it. Genuinely mean this btw.

“How’s your WIP going?”

"Have you made any progress?”

“How close are you to being done?”

Expanding a thought from a conversation this morning:

In general, I think "Is X out-of-character?" is not a terribly useful question for a writer. It shuts down possibility, and interesting directions you could take a character.

A better question, I believe, is "What would it take for Character to do X?" What extremity would she find herself in, where X starts to look like a good idea? What loyalties or fears leave him with X as his only option? THAT'S where a potentially interesting story lies.

In practice, I find that you can often justify much more from a character than you initially dreamed you could: some of my best stories come from "What might drive Character to do [thing he would never do]?" As long as you make it clear to the reader what the hell pushed your character to this point, you've got the seed of a compelling story on your hands.

things to ask yourself when designing a female character:

how much blood is she covered in

are her eyes filled with madness

can she rip things to shreds with her fingernails
