A Small Update On My Nightmare Doll. I've Done A Lot Lol! And I Forgot To Take Pictures Of All Of It.

how do i write when i have adhd and cant even outline the first three chapters:( i always get stuck after three, get bored, and never come back. any advice ?

Writing with ADHD (by a writer w/ adhd)

1. Consume caffeine and/or do cardio for 30min before sitting down to write. Listen to music, a themed playlist perhaps. Do not log onto the internet or have any distractions nearby (books, pets, clutter, food, unfinished projects). Keeping a dohickey like a stress ball around or even a lightweight dumbbell is a decent proxy when your brain craves distraction. Chewing gum can also help you focus.

2. Don’t outline by chapter, I cannot get farther than five or six when I do that. Outline from beginning to end, but make sure to have a middle! Write a synopsis of what happens and break it into chronological chunks. Only outline by chapter once you’ve got a general outline of the whole story, and even then only outline a couple chapters at a time.

3. Write whatever comes to you, but keep it in order in your document. You want to write how your character discovers a secret, but you know that’s not until chapter 20. Write it anyway and title it chapter 20. Do this with every scene you’re inspired to write, then slowly fill in the gaps. If that proves difficult, it’s okay to make the reveal chapter 9 instead and connect everything with [and then this happened] so you’ll know to sew it up later.

4. However short or long the story ends up being, finish it. You can set a goal of 30 chapters, but if 10 is easier finish by chapter ten. Come back (much) later, reread, and add any new ideas you come up with. A short story is sweet! A novella is nice! Train your brain to write longer passages until it can achieve a story of the length you want.

5. (optional) Outlining is for people who can focus, just start writing somewhere and figure it out along the way. I had a very general outline for my longest novel, but mostly I made everything up and ignored it. Maintain focus, know your end goal, and even if you stumble there and take some shortcuts it still counts. Any messiness can be improved in future drafts.

You suddenly switch bodies with your icon. On a scale of 1 to 10, (10 being the highest value) how well are you coping with that change?

Obsessed with the fact that both Undertale and Deltarune straight up crash if you try to name your character "Gaster"

What a primadonna ass temper tantrum to throw while every other character just tells you to pick something else lmao

just a heads-up for those of you (like me) who have triggers surrounding animal harm/death, PETA has released a youtube ad with sounds of owls screaming in agony and goes into graphic descriptions of ‘mutilation’ and death. it’s unskippable. 

if you see a black screen with audiowaves on it or hear owls/johns hopkins, get out of there

A holiday gift for an awesome author!

This drawing was made for @nascent-chaos, for their fic “Our Place Among the Stars”. I intended to post this yesterday, then got distracted, whoops! A day late is fine, probably.

In any case, this is mostly a quick drawing I whipped up from the description of MC’s soul in chapter 27. It isn’t the best, mostly because I had no clue how to do glowy effects and stuff, so I improvised XD. (if you look really closely you can see the flecks of integrity and kindness, they are just super small.)

I hope you like it, and are having or had a good holiday season!

Oh my goodness, they look amazing!

What many people don't know, including my oldest friends, is that I used to customise dolls. True, I used to do around 8 years ago but I recently found my doll kit and an old Skelita doll.... You wanna know what I did??

Yep. I made a real-life Bee! And proceeded to do a little photo-shoot. I have no life and I should be

writing...

And the final one.

My little skeleton family.

I adore them!! All I need now is Red. Soon... Soon..... Hopefully...

And I figured out how to turn on Asks, so if you have any questions or just wanna chat, feel free!

Toodles!
