Flameflier404 - A Writing Dumpster Fire

why is it that I have a document for random scenes that appear at some point, and the first one is a character having a crisis over a dead person? to be fair, they watched the person die, and then have to tell that person’s family about their death, but why is that the first scene in the document?

When I say I’m writing what I really mean is I’m thinking about the prologue and second half of the plot in extreme detail before considering the idea of what happens in the beginning, coincidentally making it so I get nothing done.

Me, in reference to a D&D character: He’s just a little guy!

Normal Person: That “little guy” could easily kill you. He’s not even that short

Me: Leave me and my little depressed tiefling alone!

When in doubt, stay away from the main story and think about what those other random OCs of yours can do, accidentally make an entire story for them, want to write it into its own book/series, and finally realize there’s no plot. The only reason you haven’t done anything else with them is because you don’t want to get rid of them. Writer issues.

My story’s antagonist: I’m not just a bitch…

I’m a bitch with a backstory

Me: *Furiously Googling about who knows what*

Also me: You write fantasy, you know that, right?

Me:

If you like D&D, but only want to listen to it (podcast), and want to support small creators, I’d recommend listening to Death By Dice on Spotify or Apple Podcasts (or other places).

It’s a podcast run by a group of teenage friends retelling their campaign adventures in less than thirty minutes an episode while learning about the player, their character, and the world the characters live in.

There are currently seven episodes (one per player). The campaign’s Dungeon Master, Rufus, hosts each episode with a different player, where we learn about little about each character, player, and how they deal with what Rufus throws at them during the sessions.

Very entertaining, would recommend listening and rating

reblog to diminish the horrors from the person you reblogged from

do you ever think of something when you’re trying to sleep and tell yourself “I can write it down in the morning”?

I have, and every time I do im just lying to myself again

I’m not crying, there’s onions

I am crying

no, i just hate writing sometimes

It would be wayyyyyy too awkward to explain that yes, I wrote two gay men that go through extreme trauma together, but no, they aren’t official until the last third or so of the story (and all the little lore bits that I have to tell otherwise it would make sense).

reblog if you're a writer but would rather drink straight cyanide than show any of your family members your work
