do you hear the writers scream?

@booksbwaybadflower's writing, now more organized

[iwritetragedies-notsins]

Welcome to WIP central

Hello friends!

This is @booksbwaybadflower 's sideblog, which I'm going to use to track my writing processes for various works. The tags on this post (after the first five for Visibility ofc) are the plays I've been working on!

Here you will find victories, frustrations, inspo for my pieces, the occasional excerpt. Writing memes/resources/etc are all under #do-you-hear-the-writers-scream on my main blog - this one's just for WIPs!

You're welcome to reblog anything, ask to read things, ask questions, message me, etc!

Enjoy the musings of my mind :)

I loveeeee when actors are so into my writing that they come back for multiple readings <333

[iwritetragedies-notsins]

instead of writing I made a quiz... see if you can guess my plays based on their most-used words!

I put each script into a word cloud maker, excluding all character names, to see which words were used the most. Can you guess which play ea

So I was going through the whole script to make sure my characters' voices are distinct enough (after looking at some lines and thinking "hmm that's something x would say, not y") and turns out there's one character who repeats things pretty frequently. "Alright, alright" and "that's okay, that's okay" and "good, good" and such. No other character does that, except for once: his husband, when he's trying to talk him out of a delusion in the most loving way he can. "I believe that you believe it, and that's okay! That's really okay."

And I am SO PROUD OF THAT even though I DIDN'T EVEN MEAN TO

It makes me so happy when the script is better than I think
