Does anyone have any suggestions for a text‐to-voice site that won't take my work for ai? Part of my writing process is listening to my text, but everything is ai and makes me very uncomfortable.

Happy TbTT! Hope you're having a wonderful week thus far. So for your questions: What is your favorite place to write at? What is the greatest white noise for you when it comes to writing? Music and silence don’t count as answers. Thanks for participating! Ciao for now!

Hullo and happy TbTT to you as well. My week is okay ish, I had to go back to work boo. 

I actually like to write at work. I used to be very productive last year and had 4 to 6 hours of writing five days a week. That was fun! 

I don’t use white noise... Never used it for writing, only when I try to sleep and even there it is ambient noises/nature sounds. I think I gravitate more towards brown noise: waterfalls, storms, car engines etc.  

Thank you for the question and the lovely event ^^

My commute to and from work can be anywhere from 20 minutes to 60 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.  I do a lot of plotting for my fics in my car while I’m driving.  A while back, I realized I was coming up with some great ideas, but they were gone before I could find time to get them typed out.  So, I started doing voice memos to myself on my phone in the car on my way to or from places.  I’ll dictate the sequence of events or general ideas or even specific sections of dialogue.

This evening I was thinking about the last portion of my holiday Bucky/Darcy fic while on my way home.  The file above is the last bit of tonight’s voice memo in which I was struggling to decide if/how I want to include smut in the fic.  This is a conversation I’ve already had with @bulmavegotaku and @chocolategate.  I don’t ever share my stupid voice memos with anyone, but I thought everyone might find this author’s struggles to be funny.  It does contain a blurb about the very end of the fic, but doesn’t provide details or context, so it isn’t a super big spoiler.

The opening paragraph of chapter four of Bad Soldier took even me by surprise but I’m gonna roll with it.

And tonight’s chapter is brought to you by: “Savior” by Rise Against.

Sometimes you give a character a name because you liked the irony of the common English meaning. Then you do a little etymological research and hot damn, there's more thematic interplay there than you intended.

Hi! It's so lovely to know that you're working on a new story. Yay, girl! So, it has made me wonder: what is it your creative process? A plot bunny just appears and you start typing right away once you have some scenes in mind or you plan the plot more meticulously before the first word on paper? Also, I kinda want to know how do you feel about a Steve/Darcy fic after what happens in Endgame? Thanks for your time! <3

I'm excited to share stories with everyone again. It had been way too long. As for my process...

Hmm, it usually starts with a very general idea and a specific scene in my head that kinda play off each other. The scene usually sets the tone, though it may not be the first scene of the fic. The idea gives me a direction to go in. I'll start writing and kinda focus on building the relationship during the first part of the fic. Around the halfway point the rest of the fic will start to come together. It's around this time that I type up a very vague outline of what comes next and use it as I finish the fic. Sometimes I won't know the exact end until I'm 80% of the way done, though.

As I'm writing, I'll go back and re-read, add, correct so everything works together. I'll send 4-8 chapters at a time to my betas as I finish them so they can give me feedback and I can know if I'm going off the rails or if something isn't working. Once the entire first draft is done and I have feedback on the chapters, I'll read the entire thing at least once and make corrections. At this point, I've probably read each chapter three or four times.

Once I've got about 75% of it beta'd and refined, I'll start posting a chapter a day. Before each chapter gets posted, I'll read that chapter one more time and make any final corrections or tweaks. I never post before the first draft is complete. I've found that I work better in my solitary little box that I invite my betas into every so often.

I do occasionally bounce ideas off my betas as I'm writing the first draft, especially if I'm unsure of or undecided on how I want to approach something like characterization or plot. It's nice to get the initial feedback before I get too deep into the draft.

I hope this helps explain my little process over here. Thanks for asking! ❤️

The writing process - Inventing

5 steps of the writing process are

Inventing

Organising

Drafting

Revising

Editing

Inventing

Inventing involves different strategies to come up with ideas for the paragraph, 

Free writing, 5 mins

Brainstorming  - working in a group, record everything without censoing. The difference to freewriting is it is spoken and involves a group. 

Journalisitc questions - Who? What? Where? When? Why? How?

Asking these questions and exploring the answers will give you lots of ideas. How and why tend to be good for writing.  

Listing: Write a list of everything that comes to mind then write about the bits you like later. Make lists from your lists- sublists. 

Clustering and other techniques are better for visual people. Clustering is a mind map. 

You should spend a fair amount of time doing this. It is a mistake to jump right into the writing process as you need a clear idea. Generate and examine as many ideas as possible!

Audience

This is also the step where you consider your audience

What is it you are trying to achieve with your audience (besides a good grade)?

Do you want to convince them something is true?

Do you want to tell them why something is happening or the results?

Do you want to explain how something works or what something is?

Do you want to persuade them to take a certain stand?
