Q63: Are you more of a drabble/flash or a longfic/novel kind of writer?

A63: I am more of a drabble/ flash/ poem writer. BUT the ideas that came to me for my wips really deserve to be treated as a longfic/ novel. I guess that explains why I have difficulty sticking to a plot structure lol!

help  me!!

Hello everyone, I’m looking for a fiction that I read on Wattpad where Clarke and Lexa are forced to work together on a project for the company of Lexa’s family, Clarke at first has a relationship with Fin (musician) , later on the courtship of lexa who just wants to take her to bed ,breakup with Fin.. I remember that in this ficition Anya and raven have a daughter , lexa’s nephew who carries with her a tin for bad words. I remember that fiction have a second part of a fiction, where Clarke e Lexa are in a relationship and live together, and for a mistake Clarke was pregnant with the real son of Lexa. Please please help me

Q29: What’s a common theme in your writing?

A29: Calm, quiet protagonist’s are a mess inside.

Hi, so I've finished a short story, a first draft you could say, but there are still some kinks in it that I want to iron out. What is stopping me is that it seems just such a huge job, I wouldn't know where to start. And so I keep making excuses. (Chances are I'll use this as an escuse as well, that I'll wait until I hear your answer.) Any tips on where to start?

Procrastination & The Editing Stage...

Procrastination is typically a symptom of anxiety and perfectionism. Before you ask how you solve the problem, you should figure out why you’re having it in the first place. This is an immensely helpful practice in the long run. Ask yourself why you’re so anxious to start examining your own work and test various possible exercises that could soothe this anxiety long enough to get started. 

Editing is understandably very intimidating. It’s daunting to have to sit down and actively look for flaws (or as I like to say, room for improvement) in your own work. Writing is a practice in vulnerability sometimes editing can feel like critiquing your own emotions. In order to edit well, you have to detach from your own connection to the content and view it objectively. If you’re having trouble with this, I recommend putting literal distance between yourself and the writing. 

Let it sit physically and mentally away from you for a few months and then come back to it with fresh eyes and preferably a second project in the foreground of your writing time. This will allow you to see it as a story rather than a part of you, and therefore you will find it easier to criticize. 

I have a few posts and tips that touch on the subject of procrastination and approaching work you’re intimidated by that expand upon the topic:

Egads!

I just realized that @entirelytookeen is no longer on tumblr! This makes me sad - I really regret not saving some of their posts. By the way, I’m sad at me, not @entirelytookeen. I have no idea why they left tumblr and I’m actually thinking that if they left, I probably should too ... regardless, a belated thank you to them for their lovely posts. Hope you are well and if anyone knows where they have gone, please let me know. Thanks! xoxo
