I Just Finished The First Chapter Of My Project Hail Mary Fairytale AU! It's Only About 700-800 Words

lord help me i'm about to start another rewrite of that magic school science fantasy story with unnecessary details (which contradict each other because my memory is so bad i projected it onto the MC and now the plot revolves around her having amnesia)

Started working on my Obsidian vault again and the AuDHD is taking over.

we're so normal

thank you for coming to my ted talk

hey if you're the type of writer that's like me where you tend to write specific scenes first that vaguely weave together into a plot, you might like using obsidian as a writing app.

my frustration with other writing applications is that i will write my scenes out of order and it's hard to move things around and rearrange them on a regular document.

but with obsidian there's this canvas feature where you can just write all your scenes and plot moments on these little cards that you can freely rearrange. you can color code them and connect them too.

here's the canvas i've created for my current multi-chapter fic: (if you zoom in you can see all the text in each card this what it looks like zoomed out)

as you can see, i color code them based off chapters and will group them next to a document card with the working title of the chapter. anything not color-coded are scenes that don't have a proper place quite yet or it's just world building references. this app can also be good for note-taking and collecting research!

best of all, it's FREE!!! the only downside is that if you want your stuff to sync across devices, you do have to pay for that. i constantly hop between my laptop and desktop so i pay for the syncing. but if you write on only one device it's completely free! EDIT: some reblogs have mentioned that you can apparently link your own personal cloud storage (dropbox, gdrive, icloud, etc.) to obsidian for free! that way you can access your obsidian vaults across multiple devices without the extra fee. i don't mind supporting the devs but just something to look into if costs is a concern.

i typically use it for organizing my thoughts for a first draft. once i get all the scenes arranged and mostly written out, i will copy and paste them into ellipsus (also free & highly recommended as a google doc alternative) so that they're all in one document that i can edit.

This is quite possibly the most photoshopped ad I have ever gotten, and that's saying smth 💀💀💀💀💀💀

i feel like we dont talk enough about lemony snicket canonical anxiety disorder its incredibly funny as a concept and i want to think about it more. like i think he has ptsd but also apparently he has felt Nervousness And Dread like. literally forever. and i think that counts as an anxiety disorder lemony

(finishes intro to fic and posts it to AO3) EVERYTHING IS AMAZING I LOVE LIFE YIPEE

(one hour passes) hmm I should be banned from language

bitch ass motherfucking piece of shit drone

god i hate writing for this stupid fucking fandom.

no one knows what the hell is going on. the timeline is all over the place. my favourite character (wet cat archaeologist with visions) gets taken into custody and we never see her again. Some Guy manages to stay young until like 2090. those Fuckass Drones break the laws of physics so hard I have to add magic into the worldbuilding so it doesn't all fall down

omw to the concert I’m so excited:3333

I need you to understand that when I say "comments are appreciated!" I mean that I will reply to every one of them. I mean that an email with an ao3 notification has a higher priority than a message from my mother. I mean that I will have entire discussions in the comment section if you're up for it. Message me on tumblr and I will have the same discussions on an even more unhinged level. I will dissect entire personalities and ships and fictional political structures and worldbuilding with you. I will become your new best friend. You already ARE my new best friend. At the last battle, I would raise Anduril and say "For my ao3 readers" while a single tears rolls down my cheek, and dive into the fray. I would upload from beyond the grave if someone asked about the next chapter
