Question about first drafts

(Anonymous) 2023-01-28 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a third of the way through my first draft and it's become clear that it needs a major plot revamp. Should I push on from where I am and correct it in the second draft, or is it better to start again?

Re: Question about first drafts

Tolkien is on fandom!secrets ?!

Personally I'd start again because trying to correct an increasingly large plot discrepancy as you go along would get tiring pretty fast. But that's partly what first drafts are for, after all.

my question is, how do you write

Re: Writing thread

(Anonymous) 2023-01-28 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Read books. Write.

I started off clunky as hell, but I improved just by keeping at it. They say the first million words is crap and after that you start getting better.

Also, take note of what you enjoy in other people's writing.

Re: Writing thread

(Anonymous) 2023-01-28 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Think of a story you want to write and have a crack at it. It'll probably be crap, but you'll also probably find out a bit about yourself as a writer. Then either rewrite until you like it or try another idea. Repeat ad infinitum.

Write. Write a lot. The more you write, the better your writing gets.
Read. Read a lot. The more you read, the better your writing gets.

you really just gotta give it a go, put the words down and see what happens. there's no magic way to begin. everyone starts the same way and, yeah, your stuff is going to suck at first.

everyone's does, so don't take it too hard.

Question About Prompts

(Anonymous) 2023-01-28 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
As a writer who has just been blah lately about all of my projects, does anyone have like... a go-to prompt generator or a place where they have an endless well of prompts? I am wondering if maybe like a daily 1000 word contained thing based off a prompt might get me out of my slump.

Tumblr has writing-prompt-s, a whole bunch of prompts in one place Anon, mostly fantasy/scifi based.

Can we talk about how awful the teen wolf movie is?

I'll also be making secrets.

Haven't see it yet, but am very excited for this nostalgic trashfire

(And also secretly hoping it will reignite the fandom)

I had no idea they were making a movie but I can't imagine it's anything other than godawful because the show was terrible. I'd rather not waste the time tbh.

I heard it also accidentally made Sterek canon?

I feel like I'm actually most interested in whether Wolf Pack is good. The absence of Teen Wolf has left a supernatural teen drama filled hole in my heart that a shitty Teen Wolf movie 10 yearsx later certainly won't fill.

The commercials for didn't look great, but the main reason I'm not even trying to watch is no Stiles.

Not even going where. But I am with a popcorn.
Also can we talk about Derek's son (???) who looks like discounted Stiles

Little good things

(Anonymous) 2023-01-29 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
So tonight I was talking to my mom about a bunch of random stuff and she said "they" when talking about my hypothetical future partner. I feel like it's the first time she's actually acknowledged me being bi and it made me really happy even though it's a small thing. :)

Little details really are key, I've found. Glad to see that concept in action.

late comment ho

I have a crush on a celebrity and I cannot. handle. it. Usually when I have crushes (which is thankfully very rarely) I crave interaction with them, of any kind. Usually I can attain that. Not with a celebrity. And there is a second issue, that I feel jealous of them being famous when I, obviously, am not. Usually my jealousy of famous people is subtle in the background of my head, but thinking so much about one has brought the feeling front and center. Together the two feelings are creating a very painful lightning storm in my soul, and it could last for months. Distraction is not working. I want it to stop.

Hey, at least your crush (probably) doesn't have a Patreon. *coughs and side eyes self*

I've recently gotten a crush on a celebrity for the first time ever (I'm generally not really into celebrities at all), and it's kind of weirding me out. Recently I randomly starting showing pictures of him to my dad and being like "look, isn't he handsome?" My dad did not care at all lol.
