Writers Struggle - Blog Posts
I’ve never known such a lovely day as this
I'm not posting much, and I probably wont be for a while cause I'm deep into writing a fic.
Seriously, I was sure I wasnt gonna write much, but once I got into it wrote almost 3k words in a single chapter...
I don't know how it happened and I need to ask a question: if it makes sense in the story (there's a logical reason to the 3k words I have written and the many more to come), but the focus of the story should be a couple getting together, will you, reader, read through the daily life of the main character before they get together with their loved one?
P.S. Answers to this ain't going to change what I wrote, I'm perfectly satisfied with it, and as soon as I have my ao3 account, I'm going to publish it all. Though I sincerely want to know if people actually read through long stories or simply skip to the parts that interest them. Cause I had a friend back in high school who would do just that (actually only reading the dialogue parts) with all the books they read, and it made me mad.
Especially now as the author, everything that I'm writing I'm putting my soul into. I'm actively researching street names and housing arrangements for the university my character studied at in 1994. I know people aren't exactly going to fact-check my story, I wouldn't as a reader, but it would be bad if someone just skipped through all these parts.
tl;dr: would you be willing to read a story, from a 1st person perspective, of a character going through their life, or would you just skip through to the parts where them and their significant other get together?
sometimes i wish it didn’t take me so long to rediscover my love for writing. it’s something i LOVED as a kid. i loved books and was so mesmerized by the fictional world. then that love got lost as i grew older and i only just started rediscovering it almost two years ago.
can’t help but wonder how much closer i’d be to my writing dreams had i rediscovered my love for it sooner or never lost it to begin with.
update: the og story just lost space in my head to accommodate an amazing new idea for a wenclair longfic. send help.
i'm so fucking anxious some days ago i started a wenclair oneshot inspired by a taylor swift song i wrote about 1k words in 2 hours, and at the same time i created a new doc to write a wenclair oneshot inspired by a stephen king book (??), but at the same time i have a 3 shot wenclair abo pure smut to finish, and at the same time i have a very long oneshot that i like very much to keep writing, and at the same time i have to update a blessed curse AND miss ameriacana and the heartbreak princess aka long fics, AND i have this amazing idea for an original story that's taking over my mind and a endless amount of ideas for the furry & the tiny one Oh my fucking God.
