Clexa

If you still post/reblog clexa or just lexa content plz reblog or like because I’m trying to keep that on my dash. Also want follow some more people. 

Thinkin about how as kids parents told us to clean our rooms without having ever shown us how to themselves, taught us any organizational skills, spatial management, or any other knowledge necessary to know how to efficiently tackle a mess without getting overwhelmed and then got exasperated when we as ten year olds didn’t just……figure it out

100% agree! Some of the fanfic I’ve read has better writing than the actual show. For example, Giant by @coeurdastronaute

Reblog if you think fanfiction is a legitimate form of creative writing.

Clexaweek2019 Basics

Okay kru, Clexaweek2019 officially begins tomorrow so here’s a refresher on the Clexaweek basics!

THEMES:  Monday 02/25 - Useless Lesbian Tuesday 02/26 - No Strings Attached Wednesday 02/27 - Only One Bed Thursday 02/28 - Nipples Friday 03/01 - Tinder AU & Nerd/Popular Trope Saturday 03/02 - Enemies to Lovers Sunday 03/03 - Free Day

Use the tags #Clexaweek2019, #Day (_), and #(prompt). Make sure you put those first three tags in first because as we all know, tags and searching can be finicky. Feel free to use whatever other tags you want (#Clexa, #Clexa fic, #Clexa fanart, what have you), but just make sure to definitely list those three at the beginning. You can submit a link to me here, either directly to the work or to your tumblr post, and I will reblog it. If you post on ao3, add the work to the collection Clexaweek2019.

Please remember to leave a comment on a fic you read. Even something as simple as “ajfkdsajlfdk;sa” is very much appreciated. Kudos are nice, but comments are the real validation. Please, please, please leave a comment! Please remember to reblog and not just like posts on Tumblr. When people make art and moodboards etc, reblogging is how the post is spread and showed to more people. And feel free to comment on those too (and creators love stalking the tags to see what people say as well!). Letting a creator know what’s awesome about their work is what encourages them to continue creating, so please keep that in mind! We all support each other here! That being said, usually every year there’s at least one troll who posts a stupid (and terribly written) fic on purpose to try to get attention. If that happens, IGNORE it. Don’t give it hits, don’t comment on it, nothing. Report it if the tags are incorrect, but otherwise ao3 can’t do much, so don’t give the troll any attention. Our fandom is so big and awesome that new works will flood the tag anyway so yeah, just let those terrible works fade into obscurity. 

At the end of Clexaweek, I will make a masterlist of all the content created. My fandom wife @clexabookmarks also makes lists of the new fics. If you notice we’ve missed a work just let us know! It can be so chaotic running this while working full time so it’s easy for some works to slip through the cracks. Just hit us up and we’ll add it in!

If you have any questions about Clexaweek, ask here. If you want me to give you some prompts, you can hit up my ask box or you can peruse my tagged list of Clexa prompts. If you would like to view previous Clexaweek Events, they can be found here: Clexaweek2017, Clexaweek2018. There are also Clexaweek collections on ao3.

HAVE FUN! :D Can’t wait to see what you all come up with! I’ve missed you all, kru. Welcome home.

Day Twenty-five

of @the-wip-project‘s #100daysofwriting challenge

Q25: What have you learned recently,  about yourself, about your writing, about your story?

A25: I’ve learnt all kinds of things recently, part of it during this challenge the most important ones to me are:

It’s difficult for me to “find time” aka force myself into a chair and actually write. Part of this issue is because I do have little time with a young family, a full time job and elders whom I support. But ... more and more I am concerned that I am not writing because when I finish this current wip I will have to say goodbye to the wip’s world and characters and I’m not ready to give up that part of my brain.

I have no shortage of creative ideas. I have difficulty putting them into a cohesive plot.

I tend to rework my plot every few months. I try very hard to stick to one but ... then ideas that are better occur to me.

Day 9’s question is above. I’ve never actually thought of writing in terms of competing elements. If anything, and to continue with the sports analogy, I think that all elements of the story should work together as a team to make a story captivating. My favourite books and movies have stories with strong characters that are pushed into difficult situations.

Thanks for these questions @the-wip-project ! They are very thought provoking

My wife would love this card!
