reaching that point in my fictional universe where my characters are getting older and things are starting to change within their dynamic/lives <<<<
they’re becoming *gasps loudly* adults with responsibilities😭😭😭
i’ve reached what i’m calling ‘the beginning of the end’ of this specific group dynamic in my universe aka the halfway point of my journey to writing book six and i’m kind of losing my mind??? i did not anticipate it being this hard???😭
just accidentally stumbled upon so many prologue story ideas for the parents of my characters in the current book series i’m writing.
and it ties in so well UGH i’m gonna have a writing orga*m!!!!!
personal interpretations and preferences aside, there's no limit to what you can make a character say/do without taking them out of character. everyone has a breaking point that pushes them to do what they normally wouldn't. give me the circumstances and events that pushed the character. tell me what they're thinking/feeling. tell me how they're justifying their words/actions, both to themselves and to others. if you can argue it, it'll still feel authentic.
Me on tumblr.
how do you guys decide between two/multiple storyline ideas? i usually write out both scenarios and choose the path that i like better/makes the most sense, but even that isn’t helping this time🫠
help
very hard to convince myself i still love writing when i’m fighting the urge to throw myself off a mountain while i edit my work🫠

“taylor swift ruined football” “sabrina carpenter ruined fortnite”
THANK GOD. men don’t deserve to have an ounce of fun
do you think your characters would be friends with you irl? honestly, i don’t think mine would be friends with me😭
only because they’ve all been friends since kindergarten — they’re a solid friend group of eight. very found family. they all prefer sticking to their circle and secretly (jokingly) get jealous whenever one of them tries to befriend someone outside the group. (it’s called friendship cheating)
which is fine because i’d totally be too scared to even try and befriend any of them anyway😭 when your own characters are too cool for you
eras tour just ended haha no one talk to me hahahahaha
i’m surprised by how much i *love* writing in third person considering how much i used to dislike reading in third person.
finding my love for writing again has made me appreciate third person writing so much more!!!
third person chapters have become like an exclusive, special pov in my series since 90% of the chapters i write are in the first person pov.
what can i say, i love playing with/switching up pov’s mid story😄 whether it’s including multiple character pov’s in one book or surprising the readers by randomly jumping into a third person pov.
like you know it’s serious if you stumble across a third person pov in one of my books😭 shit is about to go down fr
