#on writting

[dnteverdoubtme]

i'm looking for some jace's that do longer, novella style threads with alec's and other than ourheartsbeatas1 i was wondering if you could give me some tips. keep up the good work!

tip #1: you won’t know until you ask. some blogs might mostly write short RPs but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t be up for a longer thread, so if you like someone’s writing, go for it and talk to them about maybe trying out something different.

tip #2: you can start small. not all novella style threads have to start out like that. meme replies and shorter interactions can naturally evolve into longer threads that can end up being a lot of fun.

tip #3: plot plot plot. an important part in developing long threads and giving them this novella/fiction fell is knowing where you are going with it. talk to your partners about the general idea of the thread, plot points you would like to hit or major events to be included into our writing. 

tip #4: accept that not all god modding is bad. i see rules against it in pretty much every RP blog rules and guidelines, but here’s a thing: when trying to build a longer and more complex story it can be understandable to move the characters along in your reply. as long as both of you have a good understanding of the dynamic and characters at play a good dose of god modding can be healthy and help things to move along in a smoother pace. 

finally, here are some Jace blogs i’ve written or plotted with ( tho these are not the only ones out there and i fully encourage you to look for others ): @ofgoldenblood @inxcorde @runedshadow @aureavenator and @razielsblade

For writters

There’s a lot of stuff out there that provides help and tips for writters of all kind, from worldbuilding til self-publication, from fisical books written by world famous authors to people who just loves to tell stories. They’re all great and this are the ones I recomend not only because I watch/listen to them, but most importantly because they really help me. Not only on the specifics of writing, also on my life in general and as an artist.

Start with this - podcast 

Jeffrey Cranor and Joseph Fink, the creators to Welcome to Night Vale talk about everything creative. From prose to theatre to audio dramas. The episodes are focused on one topic like “dialogue” or “feedback” and they give something to consume and something to create. A great way to literally start with something. One thing that I particulary loved was in the episode “playing games” where the asignment was playing a game, completing with a random word generator the frase “the moon is”. A very random but cool short story came out of that.

The self publishing show - podcast

Hosted by Mark Dawson who’s a best seller self-published author. He has guests almost every episode and talks about diferent things, from how to worldbuild to the benefits of ads. A great podcast for writters that want to become a indie (or self published) author. 

Hello future me - youtube channel

One of my favorite youtubers, and he also has a book! He has a great series called “on writting” where he talks about A LOT of stuff. From how to write the first chapter or the prologue to how empires works. He’s great, I love him, and everyone who likes fantasy or sci-fi should see his videos. He’s also a huge Avatar the last airbender fan so he has a lot of videos of that too. I could’t buy his book yet because amazon doesn’t ship to my country directly but I definitly will when I get the chance. 

Kate Cavanaugh - youtube channel

She’s an great (and very funny) writer vloger. She has a lot of videos where she tries diferent writing methodes and techniques, and also talk about publishing, editing, drafing, NaNoWriMo and basically everything a writters life looks like! Very funny and great to watch.

Wisecrack - youtube channel 

Not a channel for writters specifically but they have a lot of very good videos analizing several movies and tv shows that can definitly be of interest of writing. I just love watching their videos and I think they’re great for plot analisys. 

The hamilcast - podcast

Again, not a writing specific thing, it’s actually a Hamilton (the musical) podcast, BUT since they have cast members as guests, they alwals talking about creative journeys and diferent ways of making art and how art influences people lifes. Very inspirational and motivational, even if you’re not a big fan of Hamilton, is worth to listed just to be inspired by the stories of the people who come. Some of my favorites episodes are the ones with Lexi Lawson and Carvens Lissaint (he’s a poet).

Film theory/GT live - youtube channels

And the last one, again, another one that’s not writting specific but I just love them. They do theories on movies and tv series, very funny and very thougfull. On GT live they do livestreams where they usually play videogames but also talk about a lot of stuff. They very inspirational and I actually had a few ideas for stories while watching their theories.

Random ass ask. Do u ever just feel like you don't ever wanna write again but u want to write at the same time?Cause I've been feeling that way for the past 3-4 months and I don't know how to get back in the game so to speak. It's come to a point where I feel bad about reading fics cus I still haven't updated my current one😂 Like I finally thought my depression was barely there and then it hit me like a ton of bricks and idk what to do.I'm sorry for bothering u but I had 2 vent 2 another writer

You are not a bother at all, never you ever. 

OK so I understand what you are saying 100%. Writing is something so complex and time consuming. A job of over 10 hours gets read in 10 minutes… sometimes the satisfaction is so small that you think… is not even worth it.

But, in my situation personally, I write for me, it makes me happy then I do it for my own entertainment firstly. If it doesn’t give me joy I would give it up.

Sometimes I have ideas that are so good I just want others to write them (Mermain Suhito) I push every single soul to do this for me. Cuz it’s like one of my deepest fantasies that I cannot cope writing it myself. Hahahaha.

Sometimes I have the idea but I know if I start another fic is a good idea, is another hell because I am a person that has over 10 open fics… and anxiety eats you up.

Sometimes is the urge to write but no ideas are found… and that to me is the worst. As long as you have the idea nothing else matters.

If you don't want to write now then don’t. Always think about yourself. If reading fics is what is bringing you joy then do, other writers will appreciate it.

I love reading from little small beginner blogs, and it would surprise you the amazing things you can discover.

In conclusion. Don’t feel bad, do what your brain is telling you to do, maybe small notes, think of the plot before heading to bed, play with the idea in your head and (if you feel like it) write, if not then maybe talk about it with someone who is willing to hear.

I hope all is good with you girl, and if you never writer again rest assured that you have brilliant amazing series out there! And that is more than enough to feel proud about.
