✒️ Writers' thread ✒️

Posted 6 years, 10 months ago (Edited 6 years, 8 months ago) by castra

I didn't see a thread like this and figured it'd be nice to have some sort of chillout chat for writers! ; v ; 

Talk about your current writing projects, your stories, planning, plotting, whatever as long as it's even vaguely writing related!
Anyone who identifies as a writer is more than welcomed; there is no strict definition for the word or anything!

Here are also some questions to start things off:
✒️ Who are you?
✒️ How long have you been writing?
✒️ Your preferred languages in writing?
✒️ What kind of things do you write / enjoy writing?
✒️ Favourite genres for your own stories?
✒️ Any current writing projects?

And some rules, just to make sure this thread will stay nice for everyone! 

✒️ Make sure to be polite and nice to each other
✒️ No vagueposting about other users or people in general; let's keep the negativity in vent threads!
✒️ Don't attack / insult other people's interest / favourite genres etc. Discussion is good and disagreements happen, but attacking and insulting are hardly a respectful way of communication.  
✒️ Preferably keep things SFW and black out sensitive / upsetting / NSFW-ish content like this

dearalese Sort of!  I have a few private Pinterest boards based on my characters and stories, just for a little bit of inspiration now and then.

@beautiful-madness I use pinterest mostly for inspiration. Like tori34 I have pinterest board dedicated to Fernweh.

@beautiful-madness Here is my tag for all sort of writing inspiration things I have found on tumblr!

@beautiful-madness keep us posted! Can't wait to see it

@beautiful-madness This is actually the part where tyrano gets absolutely tedious: currently the only way (as far as I know; I don't think I saw this on the list of new updates) to get anything over a text box is to do this http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=663315477 

As for the text box itself though, I had to draw it from beginning until the end so it's completely custom from black boxes to roses ; v ;/ 

I haven't done multiple routes and endings yet though but the official site has some help on brancing in general, and I'm pretty sure that's the base of it! I have so far done my multiple answer choices with this, but I'm nowhere near to reaching the end so how exactly to do them is not my current concern, haha. 

I hope these help even a little ; o ; /

I'm starting to flesh out the plots for all of my stories and just getting ready to at least start writing them or practice for it, and I was wondering if anyone had any resources/compilation of resources I could look at when I need help you wouldn't mind sharing with me? historical, futuristic, tips, writing stuff, anything would help! thanks so much <3

@teddy-bear and anyone else in need.

Here's my writing resources tag on tumblr.  It's a bit disorganized but there's some stuff in there that's really helped me on my writing journey!

Does anybody else have a problem where they want feedback but don't want to show anybody? I have this all the time as when I write fanfiction it's obscure pairs.

dearalese

@orinscrivello I use to have that problem because I had a horrible feel of failure. Now, I'm over it but I can't get any feedback! I've posted my stuff to Wattpad, Gaiaonline, Facebook, Tumblr, and Patreon. Nothing! But a million years ago when I was 12 and writing total garbage feedback was easy.   

If you ever need me to give you feedback, I'm open to it. You could even just tell me about it if you'd like instead of sending me what you wrote if you're more comfortable with that. Any way I can help just let me know!
