yall one of my characters has the saddest lore, i hate it sm i just wanna hug himššš (me acting like i didnāt give him the sad lore in question)
on a more positive writing note ā have any of you ever re-read something you wrote and think to yourself:
āokay, i lowkey ate that.ā
iāll be the first to admit i haveš and thatās a great thing! iām so used to downplaying myself with self deprecating humor that iāve forgotten itās ok to actually be proud of myself for something
does anyone else struggle with making their characters imperfect? or making them have imperfect moments? i find myself scared to do that sometimes. i blame cancel cultureš
the ones that truly do have hearts of gold, anyway. there are a few of my characters that do deserve a couple lashings.
maybe iām the problem? i tend to care too much what people think sometimes.
i didnāt plan for the telenovela flair some of the characters/storylines in my book series have, but i actually love it so muchā¦
not only does it feel good to represent my latin culture in someway, but itās also just ridiculously fun to writeš
it adds a layer of unseriousness/comedy that my books need given some of the more serious issues i write about.
the reveals!!! the drama!!! the scandal!!! iāve somehow created a coming of age version of the tv shows jane the virgin, gossip girl, and friends all at once????
how do you guys decide between two/multiple storyline ideas? i usually write out both scenarios and choose the path that i like better/makes the most sense, but even that isnāt helping this timeš«
help
very hard to convince myself i still love writing when iām fighting the urge to throw myself off a mountain while i edit my workš«
does anyone have any tips or ideas for getting your writing out there? pls & thx itās rough in these indie author streetsš
kind of alarming how all the thriller/horror story ideas iāve gotten have come from dreams/nightmares iāve hadš it pays to have a twisted, fucked up mind.
iāve never written a thriller/horror story so iām very excited to further explore the genre one day. i totally havenāt already written a few test pieces/scenes.
god, if you all could take a peek into my writing ideas folderš pure chaos. idk how to simply focus on one thing at a time. iām like an overzealous dog with the writing zoomies.
