I Write Sometimes

Random writing blog for Oneshots and OCs

[jae-still-lives]

my name is Jae and I go by any pronouns. I'm pretty much here to write random shit and talk about my stories and others I've read. You'll probably see a bunch of OC incorrect quotes and unfinished chapters but yeah this is my blog.

genuine writers getting wrongly accused of using ai because of witch hunt and proper grammar/structure in their works must be what being a woman in the 1600s who is wrongly accused of being a witch because she can read and is intelligent feels like

Okay I'm probably going to get completely bullied of the Internet for this and it's fine because I probably deserve it but I need an opinion from an actual writer.

See I've been writing for about 6 years now, maybe more, and I spent four years on my first novel, and as I'm finishiny last edits to it I wanted to work start on book 2 since I've been really excited for it, and I wanted to get it done a little faster than book 1 (it took 4 years 😭) anyway I spent most of the day on brainstorming templates and posting random thoughts on my wall, but I wanted someone's opinion on it so far. Unfortunately my friends didn't seem interested, and my parents aren't the biggest reader so out of desperation for a second opinion I turned to ai. Okay look I'm very ashamed please don't yell, but sometimes it's nice to ramble without talking to myself, so I used it to help organize my ideas and themes, and to get an idea of what stands out the most in my concept. Can someone please.tell me just how much of a betrayal that was to writets everywhere? I feel horrible.

Did this trend with my OCs

[nondelphic]

writing contemporary is wild bc you’re like "what if someone fell in love in a grocery store" and suddenly it’s a raw commentary on capitalism and generational trauma

I have no outline tho, just vibes

[jae-still-lives]

Reaized it'd be a while before I started getting edits for my story so I made my own ;)

[prophetic-writer]

When you've been a writer for long enough, commas become more of a spiritual practice than a grammatical one.

Could I explain the actual rules of how they’re used? Absolutely not.

Do I rely on sensing a tremor in the force to tell me where to use them? Yes and this has never failed me even once.

Elemental Forms

I'm my WIP there are things called elemental form that is pretty much the elven equivalent to an adrenaline rush. Controling these isn't simply about concentration unlike their powers this form only shows itself under intense moments of distress. And while it's more common to see fire elf in their elemental form given their more passionate nature, most elves go their whole lives without ever tapping into this power

I never want to go down in history as the worlds greatest writer, because if I were to stay the best that means everyone else had stopped trying after me, and a world that's stopped writing is a world I never want to see.

HAPPY PRIDE FROM MY FAVORITE OCs

[jae-still-lives]

Honestly as a writer some of the funniest shit be coming together, like I was talking to my sister about this series called YOU and like the MC was a seirial killer and I wasn't really thinking much about it then my sister was like "he's also a writer" and my first thought was "yeah that makes so much more sense"
