too many characters

I decided that I need a writing blog so. this is it. hi. hey, emma, what even is this story you're writing?

[cease-singing-oh-muse]

listen i really do want to write my story, but i’d rather write fluffy AUs about how in love my OCs are

[leon-the-artificer]

inclination quiz – 'so you're undead' thing

a link to my dorky-ass quiz that i hope you enjoy??

the bits around the quiz are like. characters giving backstory and explaining worldbuilding stuff. you can read that if you’d like, but otherwise, skip straight to the quiz on the second page! i’m still typing up summaries on each type of magic, and i can only score one at a time, so please be patient :’D

(also i’ve never really used google docs before so let me know if it doesn’t work)

[leon-the-artificer]

wait, hold on, are y’all able to edit this and put down answers? I clicked that option, but i’m not sure if it worked D:

EDIT: yeah it’s working :) have fun! i hope! there’s more lore stuff in the foreword and FAQ if you’re into that!

hey if u write: outlining or editing? playlists or moodboards? character- or plot-driven stories? dialogue or description? romance or friendship arcs?

[trans-eevee]

hey

i made one of those today

What username(s) would your OC have?

[necessaryocthings]

which oc refers to another oc as “my most precious friend” when they actually have a huge crush on them

[toastyhat-deactivated20180203]

one of my favorite tropes is when your group of main characters has been split up for questioning and they’re all answering the same questions in a neatly-spliced montage

[starfieldcanvas]

my favorite trope is when the stories blatantly and hilariously conflict

[which-oc-would]

Which OC would spam “I need healing” in Overwatch?

[cease-singing-oh-muse]

me: these are my characters for a story i plan to write!! they're all super well-developed and detailed and i've planned out all their character arcs and i know how they all talk, what they do for fun, how they relate to each other, everything!!!

friend: wow! so what's the plot?

me: i wish i knew

[cease-singing-oh-muse]

i was reading through old pieces of writing and saw the name "samuel" with little context and no description and i'm just like…who the fuck is that. i don't remember making you.

[necessaryocthings]

[cease-singing-oh-muse]

[cease-singing-oh-muse]

Your art style is so cute!

aaaaaa thank you???? ilysm omg

[victorianimmortal]

Note to self: in order to write, you have to actually do more than stare at a Word document rereading what you’ve already written. For example, maybe typing new words would be a good strategy.

[cease-singing-oh-muse]

i found a notebook from four years ago with 

an interesting art style i’d like to revisit

although it was being wasted superwholockstuck nonsense and old cringy versions of my OCs

characters i’d completely forgotten about (like, at least six of them)

a story i have no memory of?? like, there are 3 pages written of it, front and back, plus a vague plot outline. it’s…not great, but i like the concept. i just don’t remember writing it at all.
