I’m obsessed with TMDG, your brain is so *chefs kiss*. I must dissect and study you under a microscopy (lovingly). Is it OK to ask writing questions here? <3

Your characters are so dark, complex, big brain, I love and fear them simultaneously. How are you such a master at human psychology?? Have you trained yourself to be very observant? Or are you perhaps an outgoing person, who’s encountered lots of people and had lots of life experience? What kind questions do you ask yourself while writing your blorbos to capture their inner workings? 

Have you found that literature or life experience tends to feed more into your art? Do you believe that reading books, keeping up with the news, and researching everything can make up for lack of life experience and introversion/social anxiety (unfortunately me rip)? I can imagine it would be harder to write relationships, smut, certain types of scenarios etc without having first hand experience 

And I remember a while back u showed us some of ur drafting process on google docs … do you have more we could a peek at? Also do you find yourself using beats while plotting or are those considered elementary? Can I also pls ask for advice on how to move Act 2 along … I can get very stuck on brainstorming scenes sometimes. Do you have any book/video/article recommendations on craft of writing? 

You are endlessly fascinating and also one of the cleverest and nicest people on this app. I’m so happy I to have discovered you this year. I understand if this is too many questions,, to me you are as fascinating and enigmatic as your stories <3

Omg thank you for your overwhelmingly (in the best way) kind message!!! I'm sending lots of love your way!! (꜆꜄ ˃ ³ ˂)꜆꜄꜆ 💖💖💖 you are always welcome to put me under microscope for scientific study. ദ്ദി(｡•̀ ᗜ<) I'm happy to answer all kinds of questions regarding writing!! Thank you once more for being curious about my mind hehe.

Replies below~~ I hope it was okay to put your questions under a single umbrella question since some of them were related. In any case, may this advice prove some use to you!! :D

How to: human psychology?

For me, the easiest way to understand other people has always been to observe them and make note of details big and small. Human beings are so very complex and it's these differences and similarities that make them so fascinating to study. Writing that makes me sound like I'm not human myself (^^;;;;) and there has to be a better way of phrasing those lines,,, but essentially observation is a great skill to have!!!

When it comes to writing the beloved blorbos, I ask all kinds of questions. But there are a few that tend to circulate frequently on my mind:

✧ Why would Character do this?

✧ What motivations do they have to do this/act like this?

✧ Is this action driven by a specific emotion (multiple emotions)?

✧ Are they thinking lucidly or not?

✧ Why do they "love" (whether sincerely or in their own warped way) Reader?

✧ What are the lengths someone is willing to go for [insert thing here]?

Part of what makes any story so delicious to me is when authors focus on little details that help to form a bigger picture. Like that tiny hitch of breath from Character A just before Character B kisses them. Or a shifting of eyes. Small, seemingly insignificant methods of silent communication (a hand twitching to reach for theirs and then drawing back or shared smiles or the way an emotion sits on someone's face, shaping their expression, their body language, even the way they're positioned).

If a character like Azul, for example, is going to be an emotional wreck in the story (and is doing everything to hold it together), what are some steps he might take before inevitably reaching the meltdown? How will his insecurities manifest psychologically (what's the thought process/justification system he's using, however flawed it may be; because to Azul that's what's right; that's his perceived "normal")? How do these actions affect those around him, whether indirectly or directly? Azul is such a tightly wound individual, but then he's also literally a sandcastle (which is a diabolical metaphor for me to use based on book 3 LOL). He's packed himself in so tight to the mold he's showing everyone else, so when he's pushed to the brink, when the waves reach high enough to swallow half of that sandcastle, it's going to crumble. So, too, does he. What does that look like then? From there, the thoughts are brewing and spilling out onto the page. :D

Literature or life experience: which is more influential?

I'd say anything can be valid inspiration, even parts of yourself. The human experience is influential in a way that's unique to each person. While we may have similar experiences, we are also vastly different and that shows in our stories, our style, our storytelling, etc. I think a lot of us who have created ocs have, at some point, included some facet of themselves in that character, even if it's just something small like same eye color or favorite food. We create based on all kinds of things: real life people, literature, that absurdly funny story your friend told you that makes you realize, in many cases, real life is often much weirder than fiction.

I find inspiration in both literature and life experience, whether my own lived experiences or those of other people. As someone who struggled (and still occasionally struggles) with social anxiety and introversion, writing became my outlet. I definitely agree that it's important to read books and stay educated on all kinds of subjects. Regardless of how "experienced" a person is, anyone can write. We all have different experiences, which then makes the stories we tell based on them so entertaining because no two stories will be the exact same.

As for being able to write smut or portray relationships/scenarios... if you're horny enough, anything can happen in fiction. ✨ ✨ but also, you don't have to have that experience to write smut. Everyone who reads fictional smut should know that a lot of it isn't exactly accurate and, in most cases, real-life sex isn't as glamorous as it's made out to be in fiction. You have to suspend your disbelief sometimes.

I think it's really beautiful to capture all sides of a relationship, especially the little things. Like when a character sees something and is reminded of their love interest/someone they care deeply about. Or in rivals/enemies-to-lovers situations, where they hate each other so much they unintentionally live rent-free in the other's minds. Or even something as simple as being there for the other, even when it's rough. You don't necessarily need to have experienced everything you're writing about (and in the case of dark content like yandere tropes I truly hope no one has ever had to go through any of what's written about within that sphere. >_<).

But for things you're uncertain of, it never hurts to research! In fact, I encourage it! Research is a great way to learn new things and fall into all kinds of fascinating rabbit holes. :D I can't begin to explain the amount of times I've tried to bend myself into various positions to see if it would even be feasible in a smut scene LOL. Of course this doesn't apply solely to smut. Research is useful for just about anything you wish to write about.

My writing process...

...is extremely chaotic. (sometimes.)

Actually, not so much. I'm in the process of writing my thesis (have been for a while now) and I had the grand idea to finally make a chapter timeline that details dates and places and what's happening so I won't forget this information the deeper into it I get. I usually have some form of an outline for longer projects like that or any of the chapter works I have on here, which will get updated eventually I prommy salami with all of my hearty!!! ( •̯́ ₃ •̯̀)

I don't think plot beats are elementary! They can be very useful in drafting a story. My plot outlines aren't nearly as polished as other writers' outlines are, but that's mainly because most of the vision is stuck to my brain like bubblegum and so I'm able to keep up with myself. Also, I tend to refrain from writing down all the little details because I trust myself to iron those out when the time comes. I do, however, make note of major plot points or specific lines/dialogue I want to include and where. This is what works best for me, but for others something like plot beats, the three-act structure, and even making an entire spreadsheet helps. It's all about finding what works best for you!! :D

But in most cases, I usually just write a synopsis of what's going to happen or make note of general vibes. Very rarely do I seriously outline my oneshots. ^^;;; most of those are written purely on vibes and the wildly unrestrained energy you get at 3am while stuck in a Victorian gothic rabbit hole hehe.

As for a peek into my drafting process, here is a (messy) outline for an Azul story I had planned:

The best advice I can give for moving a scene or act along would be to just write it. Which is easier said than done. ^^;;; but sometimes you'll reach a point where writing is like pulling teeth. In those moments, all you can do is write past those feelings. It's okay if it isn't your best effort or you aren't pleased with what you're putting on the page. So long as there are words to come back to, you'll always be able to revise in the future.

Additionally, when I get stuck on brainstorming, I like to tell myself that I won't be able to get to all these great ideas I have if I don't first write what needs to be written. >_< sometimes you'll have to force yourself, but once you're over that bump it becomes infinitely easier to keep chugging along!! Also, talking about ideas and scenes with friends helps to spark more inspiration. It also helps if you have a deadline for yourself or someone looking forward to reading your stuff. This can definitely help with productivity.

But also please pace yourself!! Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is a story. It's important to remember that writing is a process. It's completely normal and okay to get stuck on scenes or lost in the sea of brainstorming. These things happen to all writers, so you're never alone!

As for craft/writing books, I would recommend Beth Lordan's Forms of Fiction: Reading Past the Words and Matthew Salesses's Craft in the Real World: Rethinking Fiction Writing and Workshopping. Both provide helpful insight on craft, writing, writers, form, and even the workshop format. ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪

Wishing you lots of luck and endless inspiration in all your writerly endeavors, anon!!! Cheering for you!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
