me writing dialogue: “what is man but a vessel through which a higher entity may see? what is his purpose? must he find a purpose? we are but stardust; the universe comprehending itself.”

me writing action: they ran real fast from the bad men aand legs hurty

[incandescent-creativity]

me writing action: Her legs pounded against the earth, the familiar jolt grounding her like nothing else could. Magic, gods, royalty—she didn’t know anything about that. But running? That’s something she’d been doing since day one.

me writing dialogue: “I dunno man whatchu wanna do” “I dunno. What do you think?” “Hey man I don’t know”

Nanowrimo day 15

I've hit the halfway point! 25,312 is my count rn, hoping to get to tomorrow's goal before today ends, bc I know that I'll be busy on saturday.

In other news, Cefo just finished having a fight with his ex-boyfriend. So that was fun, especially since I didnt even know he was bisexual before I wrote it.

[delusioninabox]

Daily #2,078! I am… too tired to go on… Send help. 

[brynwrites]

I have only two writing moods:

1. There’s 2k words down; I can fit another thousand before dinner!

2. I have 300 words left before I hit my minimum count goal and I would rather physically bury myself into the ground and die a dreadful suffocating death than write another sentence.

[zimbellhousepublishing-deactiva]

Is anyone doing NaNoWriMo?

If so, how many words do you have? What’s your novel about?

[natandcefo]

23k-ish, a witch and a demon get cursed so now they feel physically ill when they're apart. They're trying to break said curse.

Nanowrimo day 14

Dear friends. Welcome to my nightmare filled, passion induced, writing extravaganza! Together we will write until we are satisfied. I will write until I know the characters better than myself. You will write until the scenes are palpable. Breathe in writing, exhale passion.

[assassinprocrastinator]

14th day of NaNoWriMo My characters are more real than I am. 

[natandcefo]

Nanowrimo day 13

Not a real excerpt from the story, but something that I wrote that I’m hoping to fit in later. 

**

“I want to be all of that for you, Natalie. I want to be the one to tell you that everything is going to be fine and that we’ll be safe and we’ll be together like the stars may or may not tell you, but at the end of the day, I just can’t. I’m the one who can only tell you that I’ll do my best to protect you, and that I’d rather die than be apart from you. Life isn’t meant to be set in stone, stagnant and unchanging, I’ve been around long enough to learn at least that. We’re not supposed to know what’s going to happen, but we need to deal with it and move on, regardless.”

How to use multiple POVs

3 Tips for using  multiple POVs

Using multiple POVS means the narrative switches between the perspectives of two ore more characters.

1.Distinct character voices  If the voice sounds the same even though it’s written from a different character’s point of view, it creates the impression that there is no difference between the characters. So take some time in not only developing distinct characters, but also in giving your characters individual, distinct voices. 

More on creating distinct character voices can be found here

2. Use an indicator for POV switches Always give your readers a clue when the POV switches. The most common way is to write the POV character’s name at the beginning of the section or use the POV character’s name as the title of the chapter.

3. Don’t switch POVs too often If the POV switches every other line, it is very likely that your readers will be annoyed. The most common way is to switch the POV when a new chapter begins. It’s also possible to switch the POV when a new scene begins, but keep in mind tip no.2 and don’t forget to indicate that the POV switches with the next scene.

HI EVERYONE!

How is Nano going?

(wrong answers only) 

[natandcefo]

I’m back on track, and my characters are somewhat consistent. Well. Cefo is consistent. Natalie seems boring compared to him, but I’m chalking that up to him being so expressive and dramatic, compared to her quiet and blunt demeanor. 21k words in and we’re finally moving toward the first major goal/plot point (out of like, 5). I feel like everything is moving too slow but I don’t want to cut anything because I also think everything is moving really fast??? 

Things to work out in editing, clearly.
