describe the setting correctly
coming up with a cover
the first draft.
"so which ending would make the most sense'
share my writing with people
killing my fave character (i do it anyways)
trying to remember a word i cant even describe
make the side character parents well rounded
that one super cool idea you get 3/4 way through the story that doesn't actually fit anywhere
actually having to fix plot holes
writing.
It's not an "abandoned" WIP, I didn't intentionally leave it in the forest to die and forget about it, it is a lost wip who wandered into the forest despite my pleas not to. I sit at the edge of the forest every day and hear it calling for help but there is nothing I can do. It is a haunting wip
Trying to write fanfiction for the first time is so humbling, it feels like I've never written anything ever.

"What the hell are you so busy with now anyways that i cant be a part of it?"
love when fictional men are so devoted to their partner it makes them dangerous and insane. very slutty behavior keep it up king
This is a bit personal, and idk if it even matters but for the coming weeks i'll be very inactive, as im now recovering from a major surgery. That's also why my recent posts were just mood boards, and i dont plan on making anything new.
how do you reconnect to life after being disconnected for so long
Writing, at its core, is about stepping into someone else’s shoes. It’s not just about creating characters who are like you, it’s about understanding characters who are nothing like you. Writing forces you to ask, “Why does this person act this way?” “What are they afraid of?” “What do they want?” You have to feel what your characters are feeling, even if you don’t agree with them. That’s how you create characters who are complex, layered, and real.
“What if I write it and it’s bad-”
WHAT IF YOU WRITE IT AND ITS GOOD? WHAT IF YOU WRITE IT AND ITS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANTED? WHAT THEN????
