I know a lot of people are bored and have no inspiration so I thought maybe I could help??
I’ve given this a week to spread around. I know some people may be doing April NaNoWriMo so feel free to ignore this, or include it.
I no idea on a name for this, but feel free to take the two of my images, just maybe tag me so I can keep track of how far this goes, it would be great if I could get maybe 10 or so other writers to take part
I thought it might be fun for people to experiment with different types of writing and also to take a break from your current WIP.
The 13th-19th week is a bit different. I would love to see writers working together to produce something, but I am also aware that may not be possible for everyone, so I put flash fiction there too, so you have a choice :)
Feel free to take photos, upload writing etc, create ask games, whatever you want to do during this period. Also feel free to tag me!! I’d love to see what you work on!!
This is also open to anyone who wants to create comics during this period. If you can tie it in with the theme, do it!!
I will also be trying to do this.
Let’s unite some writers and support each other during this hard time.
Liza!! Happy STS! are there any character traits you find that you give a lot of your characters? + how have your characters changed between when you got the initial idea for them and when you actually started developing them?
Happy STS!
I’ll say that I used to give a lot of my characters excellent intelligence, because middle school + early high school me didn’t want my characters to be idiots. Now, I find myself giving characters some intelligence (booksmarts, problemsolving etc.) but a lot more sparsely since it’s so fun to write dumbasses. (Also not really a trait but a lot of my characters like to read/write/some kind of literary activity for a reason i don’t quite understand and a habit im not willing to change)
A lot of my characters went through a lot of drafts, since i’ve been working on these suckers for like 3+ years (some of them even longer than that).
Harmen, for example, started out as a 13(?)-year old king (baby) with big wings big horns, really messy hair, and a crybaby personality. As I developed him, I cleaned him up a bit, physically (he has a lot neater hair, smaller horns, and unfortunately no more wings) and emotionally (kind of, he just hides a lot of his true emotions). Westra, on other hand, has always been the way she is and that won’t change any time soon.
The one minority group I have no idea how to write about?
THE ONE PERCENT
Legitimately though.
My protagonist in the book I’m redrafting is basically a member of a super rich and powerful family who becomes a class traitor basically and i just have no idea whatsoever how to portray any details of his backstory like
What does a multimillionaire or billionaire’s bedroom look like? How many suits would he own? What do rich people even DO with all those rooms in their houses?? Presumably they don’t do their own grocery shopping? Who does it then??? Would his family even have a single house? How often does he visit the other ones then??????? Is there anything special about the clothes he would wear??????????
Why the FUCK do people gotta be so pointlessly rich that the details of their everyday lives have nothing in common with mine
There’s a brief scene that takes place inside a private jet, but there are no details because I don’t know what the inside of a private jet is like. I don’t know how to describe the kind of hotel room he would stay in, the kind of events he would go to…
as someone who’s spent last six months basically writing purely about either ridiculously wealthy on percent or ridiculously wealthy nobility I understand the struggle perfectly.
I asked this a while ago when researching Crystal and Writeblr came through! Check out some of the reblogs!
