Happy Samhain!
super messy sketch of the heartbreakers warehouse. the very top is ren’s bedroom/office! inspired by the irl cyberpunk arcade, anata no warehouse.
The Heartbreakers are in charge of the Kanto region, based in Tokyo. They operate out of a dark industrial warehouse that was used by a corporation to store power tools before the bombs dropped. Quickly rising to power after gangs first started forming, they have been in control of Kanto for decades, easily crushing any smaller gangs under their boots. The region is nearly a military state, especially under the new leadership of Ren Honegumi. The youngest gang leader in Heartbreakers history, Ren murdered the previous leader before taking the crown for himself. Other members include the medic, Hitsugi Gozou; the runner, Shuichi Kurosawa; and the info broker, Kaiko Matsunaga.
Rotten Revolution is the gang in charge of Kansai. They’re based in Osaka, operating out of an arcade called High-Tech Junkyard. Soon after they took over Kansai, they made enemies with the biggest gang on Honshu when they bombarded their servers with DDoS attacks. That gang, The Heartbreakers, was left with dead servers and suffered heavy losses, mainly gang members, money, and other resources. Members of Rotten Revolution include their leader, Oniku Umehara; the mechanic, Denko Sekiguchi; the hacker, Dokuro Satou; the scout, Hamachi Onoda; and the weapons dealer, Aika Goshima.

A note from a fellow writeblr:
I’m insecure.
I think my writing sucks. I think no one cares about it. I think I’m the odd ball, sitting on the sidelines, watching the cool writers talk about their much better wips. I think my follow count is too low, and I get mostly pity notes.
I wish I was someone’s favorite writeblr.
(And I know I am. I know I have awesome friends who care about my wips. I know I have a lot more followers than more people. I know I’m not alone.)
But I still feel isolated, quite a lot of the time. Probably most of the time.
So I guess, what I’m trying to say is: It’s okay.
You can be the most famous writer in the history of forever, and if you have a dumb, stupid brain, then that dumb, stupid brain will try to convince you that you’re not enough. That dumb, stupid brain will lie to you. It’ll pull out ‘facts’ and make them look like they support its dumb, stupid untruths.
And sometimes the dumb, stupid brains with their dumb, stupid facts are too hard to ignore. I know. I’ve been there. (I’ve been there more times than I feel like anyone could possible have been there.)
So I guess — I guess — what I’m trying to say is: Keep going.
That dumb, stupid brain isn’t uncommon, and it isn’t correct. It has a lot of good aspects; a plethora of amazing stories which someone out there will adore. But as much as it can most certainly write, it can’t tell you shit about your worth.
You’re awesome. And maybe you don’t always (don’t usually) feel like it. But that doesn’t mean you aren’t.
You’re awesome. Keep going. It’s okay.
Words of affirmation on this day
HOW TO FINISH A DRAFT
Prepare yourself mentally
You’ll need to accept three things:
It won’t be the novel you have in your head.
It will be the worst novel anyone has ever written.
You can fix items 1 and 2 in the subsequent drafts.
It’s easy to give up an idea when it looks like everything is going horribly. It’s easy to fall out of love with an idea when all the things you thought you loved about it aren’t showing up on the page.
But let me tell you, this happens with so many books. They don’t pop out perfectly formed. To use an overwrought metaphor, if books were sculptures, writing the first draft would be mining the marble. You can chisel it down to that beautiful work of art later, but first you need to gather the raw material to work with.
It probably won’t be pretty. It’ll be a great lump of words that may or may not form a coherent story. But that thing you want desperately? that story you can see so clearly inside your head? It will be in there somewhere.
Make yourself accountable
It would be great if all writing a novel took was a strike of inspiration that could carry you over all 50k+ words. But for the majority of us, this isn’t the case.
Your inspiration, your love of the idea alone, will not get you through this.
It’s going to take blood and sweat and an astounding amount of perseverance.
What will help more than any muse is accountability. A sense of responsibility and urgency to get this novel finished.
Most of us need stakes and consequences. We need to be held accountable. This can take many forms. If you’re good at self motivation, you can hold yourself accountable. Make a plan of what you need to do to get the draft out, and hold yourself to it.
If you need some external accountability, tell a friend your goals and send your work to them on a schedule. Join a writing group. Take part in NaNoWriMo. Tweet your goals and daily word counts.
I’m in a writing master’s program. If I don’t write for weeks, I don’t have work to turn in to my manuscript tutor and that’s an unpleasant place for me to be. If I don’t write for months, I fail my course. As motivation goes, it can be stressful, but it helps me get words on the page.
Start now
Do you want to write a novel? Right now. As you read this. Do you actually want to write a novel? If that answer is yes, start right now. Stop reading this (make sure to come back later to finish it, though.) Log off of tumblr and start writing.
There are always going to be reasons why this, right now, is a Bad Time for you start. You have things to do, places to go, people to see. You have obligations and responsibilities. Life tip? That is never going to go away. It will always be a Bad Time to sit down and write a book.
I’m a very slow writer, but I can train myself to write 800 words in 20 minutes if I want. If I wrote for 20 minutes every day, I could write a draft of a 50k novel in two months. That’s the same amount of time as the commercial breaks in an hour long tv show. If I watched an hour long tv show once a day and wrote during the commercials, I could write a 50k draft in two months.
That’s nothing at all.
I promise you, you have everything you need to sit down and start writing this very second. You have enough spare time in your day to finish a draft in a matter of months.
If you really want to write that novel, there are no excuses. Start now.
Keep Going
Remember how I told you that the first thing you have to do is prepare yourself mentally? Those are things you have to continually remind yourself as you write.
It’s not going to be the novel in your head.
It’s going to be the worst novel anyone has ever written.
You’re going to have to accept these two horrible sentences as facts and keep going.
At points, you’re going to hate your story. It’s going to be the very last thing you’ll want to waste your time on.
That’s fine. Believe it or not, that’s natural.
Keep going.
You’re going to want to change it. You might have a new idea for the beginning. You might decide on a new name for the main character halfway through. You might switch from past to present tense randomly.
Those are all things you can fix in the second draft.
Keep going.
Your first draft doesn’t need to be coherent. It doesn’t need to be good. It just needs to be.
You’re not trying to write the best novel ever. You’re not trying to write a good novel. Again, those are for the subsequent drafts.
Now, your only goal is to reach the words: “The End.”
Do whatever it takes to get to them.
TIPS
Keep a notebook of ideas for revisions next to you while you write to help fight against the urge to go back and change things as you write.

16 Villain Archetypes
The TYRANT: the bullying despot, he wants power at any price. He ruthlessly conquers all he surveys, crushing his enemies beneath his feet. People are but pawns to him, and he holds all the power pieces. Hesitate before getting in this man’s way – he’ll think nothing of destroying you. The BASTARD: the dispossessed son, he burns with resentment. He can’t have what he wants, so he lashes out to hurt those around him. His deeds are often for effect – he wants to provoke action in others. He proudly announces his rebellious dealings. Don’t be fooled by his boyish demeanor – he’s a bundle of hate. The DEVIL: the charming fiend, he gives people what he thinks they deserve. Charisma allows him to lure his victims to their own destruction. His ability to discover the moral weaknesses in others serves him well. Close your ears to his cajolery – he’ll tempt you to disaster. The TRAITOR: the double agent, he betrays those who trust him most. No one suspects the evil that lurks in his heart. Despite supportive smiles and sympathetic ears, he plots the destruction of his friends. Never turn your back on him — he means you harm. The OUTCAST: the lonely outsider, he wants desperately to belong. Tortured and unforgiving, he has been set off from others, and usually for good cause. He craves redemption, but is willing to gain it by sacrificing others. Waste no sympathy on him - he’ll have none for you. The EVIL GENIUS: the malevolent mastermind, he loves to show off his superior intelligence. Intellectual inferiors are contemptible to him and that includes just about everyone. Elaborate puzzles and experiments are his trademark. Don’t let him pull your strings – the game is always rigged in his favor. The SADIST: the savage predator, he enjoys cruelty for its own sake. Violence and psychological brutality are games to this man; and he plays those games with daring and skill. Run, don’t walk, away from this man – he’ll tear out your heart, and laugh while doing it. The TERRORIST: the dark knight, he serves a warped code of honor. Self-righteous, he believes in his own virtue, and judges all around him by a strict set of laws. The end will always justify his nefarious means, and no conventional morality will give him pause. Don’t try to appeal to his sense of justice – his does not resemble yours. The BITCH: the abusive autocrat, she lies, cheats, and steals her way to the top. Her climb to success has left many a heel mark on the backs of others. She doesn’t care about the peons around her – only the achievement of her dreams matters. Forget expecting a helping hand from her – she doesn’t help anyone but herself. The BLACK WIDOW: the beguiling siren, she lures victims into her web. She goes after anyone who has something she wants, and she wants a lot. But she does her best to make the victim want to be deceived. An expert at seduction of every variety, she uses her charms to get her way. Don’t be fooled by her claims of love – it’s all a lie. The BACKSTABBER: the two-faced friend, she delights in duping the unsuspecting. Her sympathetic smiles enable her to learn her victims’ secrets, which she then uses to feather her nest. Her seemingly helpful advice is just the thing to hinder. Put no faith in her – she’ll betray you every time. The LUNATIC: the unbalanced madwoman, she draws others into her crazy environment. The drum to which she marches misses many a beat, but to her, it is the rest of the world that is out of step. Don’t even try to understand her logic – she is unfathomable. The PARASITE: the poisonous vine, she collaborates for her own comfort. She goes along with any atrocity, so long as her own security is assured. She sees herself as a victim who had no choice, and blames others for her crimes. Expect no mercy from her – she won’t lift a finger to save anyone but herself. The SCHEMER: the lethal plotter, she devises the ruin of others. Like a cat with a mouse, she plays with lives. Elaborate plans, intricate schemes; nothing pleases her more than to trap the unwary. Watch out for her complex designs – she means you no good. The FANATIC: the uncompromising extremist, she does wrong in the name of good. She justifies hers action by her intent, and merely shrugs her shoulders at collateral damage. Anyone not an ally is an enemy, and therefore, fair game. Give up any hope of showing her the error of her ways – she firmly believes you are wrong, wrong, wrong. The MATRIARCH: the motherly oppressor, she smothers her loved ones. She knows what’s best and will do all in her power to controls the lives of those who surround her – all for their own good. A classic enabler, she sees no fault with her darlings, unless they don’t follow her dictates. Don’t be lured into her family nest – you’ll never get out alive.
