If You’ve Got An Idea, Write It Down. Don’t Overanalyze It. Just Start Writing And Allow The Plot

happiness

I'm a socially awkward creature, but I'd love to start interacting with more writers, so here's my offer:

Interact with this post if you'd be okay with me messaging you, and in return, I promise:

I am in no way, shape, or form a creep.

I can provide unlimited cat pictures.

I will hype you up and be your fan.

I'm friendly and non-judgemental.

DNI if:

You're a minor.

You're a creep.

You're a bigot of any kind.

The Weekly Writing Update #9

10.01.22

Ohmigod I’ve been so swamped with work I almost forgot to write this.

Ok so here's the biz: I did almost get to 3k words, but then I had a new idea for chapter three that threw all that sideways, so i've spent all morning deleting the now-irrelevant info and rewriting the new chapter plot. Tbh, this new one is so much better than 'he accidentally finds out who she is and she just decides~ to stick with him'. Now her decision to stay makes sense according to her character and all is good. ish. :)

However, I am now set back a few hundred words. I know the word count shouldn't matter but its bothering me so I'm going to spend the rest of the day before I have to go to work reworking this plot chart. yayyyyy.

⇨ Other than my mess of a plot chart, I got a really cool idea for a villain for book two! and I already figured out a way to make them signifigant in book 1!! God I'm gonna make this villain so sexy

how am i losing to something within the limits of my own control

OR

Or I combine those two ideas into:

MC is arranged to be married to a prince from a neighboring kingdom, with the secret mission to steal and harness their source of magic. One night, she transforms into a bird monster, and is discovered by the Prince's loyal knight when transforming back. He keeps her secret and they grow close, but she continues with her mission behind his back. In this, she grows conflicted between her home and the people who have put their trust in her

Hey so.. I don't know if anyone still follows me. Or is interested in my writing. I completely abandoned my last major project that I used to post about--a while ago--and I've recently gotten back into writing. I'm starting a new WIP but I'm stuck between two plots, if anyone cares to share their opinions :)

A.) Knight finds a girl with amnesia who turns into a bird monster, and he just became a fugitive. So he takes her and they go into hiding, fighting shadow monsters and working to get her memory back.

B.) Noblewoman is set up to marry a prince from a neighboring kingdom, but is actually sent to steal the source of magic from their neighbors. Instead, she falls for the prince's knight. ...instead of the prince.

Unless these are both stupid/need to be workshopped, my DMs and Asks are open to anyone with constructive criticism!! Or any other writers wanting to talk (I need more writer friends) 😭

Came up with a great story idea. Can’t wait for my brain to make it so intricate in my head yet impossible to write out.

Ew dude gross, don't put your faith in me, I don't know where it's been.

Here's mine!

Dying

Does anyone know if there are any books out there that start like a typical ‘I can’t decide who I love!’ love triangle but ends with all three of them dating each other??
