@doubleplusunlucky replied to your post “That feel when your brain has several unchronological...”
@kihaku-gato I feel your pain. I have no problem writing out little capsule-sized scenes. It's stringing them together that's difficult. But you can do it! >: D
Thanks for the encouragement yo! Its a comfort that “stringing up one scene to another“ is an issue other writers get as well.
I have never heard a more eloquent description of the writing issues I have for my OC stories, and for each one its a different variation of generally the same problem;
Kayla/Terra’s story is generally chronological in my head, but there are severely large gaps between multiple scenes/arcs, which definitely require SOMETHING to fill in while also developing the characters.
Demauria/Riivar’s have the beginning and end scenes, but have almost no scenes in between to fill that giant gap, which is prolly why theirs is the least developed despite me having goals for what I’d want to have revealed about them / the world via their story.
and lastly (the one that actually brought up the post) Harriet/Anne/Lily; There are, SO MANY CHAOTIC SCENES/SNIPPETS of battles and epic adventures and scary dramatics but virtually no strong chronology to even help string it all together. Many times the strong question of “why are they there / why is THAT there??? WHERE TF IS THIS????!?” come up a lot for figuring out their scenes, which only on rare occasion help result in some chronology popping up for one scene to another lol.
