Current Update Que

I don’t have a writing schedule, per se, but I do make myself a line up of chapters and works that I update as the mood strikes me. As I’ve been radio silent for a while, I thought you guys would like some insight into what I’m updating next!

And so, in order:

1. A home away from home - chapter seven

2. Empathic Psychometry - chapter fifteen

3. An experimental style fic that will currently remain a surprise

4. The night keeps my secrets, the darkness has no tongue - chapter eight

5. Blue Spirit AU - part six

6. Either whichever of the above I have more written for or another experimental style fic or some random one shot idk I haven’t thought that far ahead

No I do not have set dates for these, but this is the order I will be working on them.

As soon as I finish finals (T▽T)

Hi just wondering if your going to update "A home away from home" any time soon? I recently read it and it's h i l a r i o u s anyway thanks a lot and I hope your doing well!!

I have 650~ words of the next chap written and am still working on it. School and life in general as been a wild ride atm but! My current classes end in a couple weeks and “A home away from home” is first on my list of stories to update! 

So short answer: hopefully within a month? tentative yes?

But that you for reading! I appreciate your support and I’m glad my comedic intent is coming through!

hey there! I love all yours fics, and was wondering if you had any advice on how to "improve" in fic writing? I've written a few but they just always seem to be lacking.

Pay attention to what you like in other writing. Then sit down and figure out how the author did it. Everything is on the page for you to see, but it takes some mindful dissection to figure out how to incorporate techniques back into your own style.

My general strategy: when I finish reading a book/short story/fic, I pause to ask myself what I liked, what I didn't, and for the latter, how I would have done it "better". Get in the habit of teasing things apart and trying your own hand at them.

Like all trades, writing takes study of technique and applied practice. Lots of both.

Also fic is the perfect sandbox to explore your own writing. 

Experiment with tense and mix up your sentence structure. Present or past tense? Even if your english teachers condemn(ed) it, try out using sentence fragments for emphasis and length difference between full stops. Use three commas in one sentence and none in the next. Slowly make your sentences longer one by one as you increase the tension in a scene so your final, cumulative sentence holds the combined tension of all the others before it.

Play with genres and see if you can incorporate an element of one into another, or mesh two or three of them together. 

Shift your balance of dialogue, description, and exposition and find the ratio you like best. How much does your character think? What do they decide to say out loud? How observant are they of their surroundings?

Ask yourself questions while you write. 

What’s happening behind the scenes? What kind of foreshadowing can I slip in so in hindsight, the result is obvious? What kind of side lines did I write before that could actually help tie in with a larger event?

What does my character want? What’s stopping them from getting it? How far will they go to surpass that obstacle? Why do they want what they do, and why does the reader care?

Personally I think that last bit, about character, is one of the most important. A good story can die because of bad characters, but good characters can carry the most poorly thought out plot.

...anywho. Just felt compelled to add my two cents.

do you ever like... write something.... and then you just stop. because oh. that’s.... that’s an accidental subplot. but you can’t get rid of it???? because that would ruin the whole tone of the scene????

so I guess empathic psychometry has another subplot..... why do I do this to myself.....
