When in doubt, stay away from the main story and think about what those other random OCs of yours can do, accidentally make an entire story for them, want to write it into its own book/series, and finally realize there’s no plot. The only reason you haven’t done anything else with them is because you don’t want to get rid of them. Writer issues.
It would be wayyyyyy too awkward to explain that yes, I wrote two gay men that go through extreme trauma together, but no, they aren’t official until the last third or so of the story (and all the little lore bits that I have to tell otherwise it would make sense).

Having multiple wips be like:
Morning: Oh, that’s a good idea for wip 1!
midday: wait, I should work on wip 2’s plot, I have ideas
afternoon: *thinking about random scenarios for wip 3*
evening: What wip is this for again? Meh, I’ll figure it out
This explains a lot about my lack of asking for help when I clearly need it
reblog to diminish the horrors from the person you reblogged from
to any readers or writers who see this, reblog with the weirdest line you’ve ever written or read (fanfic counts!). I’ll start: “‘Well, fuck me gently with a chainsaw’”
Me, in reference to a D&D character: He’s just a little guy!
Normal Person: That “little guy” could easily kill you. He’s not even that short
Me: Leave me and my little depressed tiefling alone!
