Oh my GOSH you writing is so addicting I just want to eat it. No, but seriously, what major factors influenced the way you write today? Asking as a person who’s been going through kind of a writing and reading slump these past few months 💔 although your works have gotten me out of my reading drought, I still am kinda lacking in the writing portion, so some advice would be really REALLY appreciated. 🥹
Good morning and thank you ❤️
I go through writing slumps too!
The biggest thing for me is music personally! I'd say about 90% of my fics are inspired by songs in some way. And not just the way a song sounds necessarily, but sometimes I might pick out a line and work with that, or go on vibes.
It's pretty good to know how you think. Words or images?
And this is the same for film too. This is because music helps, I'm the type of person to do my work with a playlist in the background etc, and I just use that same method for my writing flow.
A big thing I can suggest, and I'm not as good at this nowadays lol, is reading what you would like to write. Finding inspo to write because you read a great fic for the same characters, or another author made a choice you wouldn't and you wanna explore that. Fantastic stuff. That's the reason why my fic permissions are open for others to do as they please with my fics 🙂↕️
My last thing and lowkey this is kinda corny and silly but I'll say it anyway: I write what I like lol. I post them so others may enjoy them, that makes me happy, but ultimately I am my target audience. And that influences what I write but also my style. Run on thoughts, emotions and things that take part in a single space or scene, that's how my brain works and so that's what I write! I'm not gonna get as much enjoyment out of this if I'm writing like a multichap novella 😂
So ultimately to answer your question: finding the write inspo and reaching a flow state, growing skills by reading, and actually enjoying what I write
I really hope you come out of your writing slump soon! Much love and thank you for this question. Hearts for you ❤️❤️❤️
