The Weekly Writing Update #12

10.22.22

I don’t have much of an update again this week except that I got some idea for a chapter one. However I had work yesterday and had no time to write it. I ended up going back to my messy google doc of old drafts/versions of my wip, going all the way back to the earliest ideas and it generated some new ideas for me, which is good!

⇨ I also moved some things around, Alden being introduced in later chapters instead of right away. I think it’ll fit better.

⇨ I also got a solid idea of my MCs personality, which I had been putting off. I had a vague idea of him but now I feel like he has a real personality so that’s great :)

I feel accomplished, almost. I would feel more accomplished if this week I had more progress than just ideas but yk.

:)

@ fanfic authors: don’t apologise for writing filler chapters! i see this all the time!! filler chapters are so important to narrative pacing! a story needs downtime so the faster paced or denser elements have room to breathe! you’re writing a well balanced story!!! also, you’re giving me that filler for free! thats crazy!!! thats so kind of you!!! thank you for this gift!!!!!!

my failing as a writerblr is my inability to consistently make progress and actually write instead of daydreaming scenes and changing the plot every 6 months

my failing as a writeblr is my inability in making pretty graphics

The Weekly Writing Update #10

10.08.22

I have no idea what to even write for this update.

I chose to step back from the plot chart yesterday and try writing chapter one, because that's the one that needs the most work right now. The other chapters I had finished were laid out in detail, but chapter one was only a few ideas because I always struggle with the beginning. I don't know how to start my book.

Anyway, trying to work on chapter one made me spiral and I started rethinking the entire plot and it got so bad I just gave up and went to bed. Since I woke up, the plot doesn't feel so bad anymore and I've stopped spiraling, it's just chapter one still thats bothering me the most.

So if anyone has any advice I would love to hear it. Because I'm kinda at the end of my rope here.

Hey so.. I don't know if anyone still follows me. Or is interested in my writing. I completely abandoned my last major project that I used to post about--a while ago--and I've recently gotten back into writing. I'm starting a new WIP but I'm stuck between two plots, if anyone cares to share their opinions :)

A.) Knight finds a girl with amnesia who turns into a bird monster, and he just became a fugitive. So he takes her and they go into hiding, fighting shadow monsters and working to get her memory back.

B.) Noblewoman is set up to marry a prince from a neighboring kingdom, but is actually sent to steal the source of magic from their neighbors. Instead, she falls for the prince's knight. ...instead of the prince.

Unless these are both stupid/need to be workshopped, my DMs and Asks are open to anyone with constructive criticism!! Or any other writers wanting to talk (I need more writer friends) 😭

The Weekly Writing Update #4

08.27.22

Not much to update on this week. It’s been slow

⇨ I made a few slight changes to the plot, the protagonist’s journey being a much more direct result of what the villain is doing and now making them much more connected plot-wise, and not just through backstory

⇨ still only a few hundred words in, but I know where I’m going so hopefully I make more progress within the next few weeks

⇨ As I’ve said previously, I had a handful of details and a character that I didn’t know what to do with and so it didn’t overload the plot, but I think with the change I’ve made, everything fits and it’s not too much :) yay!

Hopefully this STICKS and I don’t keep overthinking and changing the plot every week.

XOXO~
