It's Only The First Draft @itsonlythefirstdraft - Tumblr Blog

Are you guys okay? There's been no updates for a long time on here... :(

Believe it or not, we’re fine. LOL

It honestly just comes down to being busy. Both of us work, so we don’t have quite as much time when it comes to posting here, at least not as much as we used to (we were still in high school when we first started this blog–wild!)

Hopefully, come international writing season (NaNoWriMo lol), we might be able to post a bit here and there. Thank you so much for checking in, though, it’s very sweet. :)

Hi! Are you on twitter at all?

No–no other platforms at all, actually!

We started this blog purely for fun, so we never felt it serious enough to branch out anywhere else. hahaha

When the writing is almost there

...But you’re not exactly sure how to get it there:

#itsonlythefirstdraft #writing #writer #editing #but it's very slow you see

NaNoWriMo ends!

Whether you hit the goal or had to stop early on, hopefully you had fun and enjoyed your writing!

The Villain who's name is Time Turner ( aka Tabitha) Wants my hero's pink fury ( aka Yonah) throne so she killed Yonahs mother as a threat which now sparked vengeance into my hero. Which caused her to try and seek help from an old friend of hers which didn't work

I think in whatever context your villain kills your MC’s mom, it’s enough to motivate your MC–or even your villain, depending on what type of personality Tabitha has–into a confrontation. I mean, that would be enough to make me want to throw down with someone. I think we often undermine the reality of our own stories because we know them so well. The things we’ve thought about on repeat and know the ins and outs of will start to seem kind of boring and mild after a while (with some exceptions, of course.) When, in reality, to the outside viewer it may come across as incredibly brutal. I don’t think you need to overthink the cause of the friction and future encounter–you’ve got a good one already!

So I just discovered your blog and I need help with a villain of mine she recently " killed " the hero's mother and now works at the same place as my hero but I want to start a sort of conflict between them and I'm not sure how?

I do not at all mean this to come across as sarcastic in any way (lol), but in whatever manner this villain “killed” your character’s mother sounds like a great place to start. I obviously don’t know details, though, so maybe the quotes heavily change the context. If you don’t mind sending some more details--about the character, the villain, the circumstance, etc--I’d love to help out more!

NaNoWriMo begins!

Good luck and know that I believe in you!
