Hi! Can you explain waiting rooms please? Like how to script them, what they do, etc
Hello friend!! I sure can ☺️ (long post incoming)
A waiting room (or WR) is a (non-mandatory) place that you can script to shift to and it’s a sort of in between for your CR and DR. You usually shift to your WR to kind of collect your thoughts and get ready to fully enter your DR. A lot of times your WR is a simple and rather empty room that just has you in it. (It can include whatever you want I’m just giving an idea) And a lot of people have a door in their waiting room that they can open and step into their DR “portal”
As mentioned above, WR are a space to calm down and “process” your shifting before continuing into your DR. It helps people not feel so startled by just opening their eyes and being DIRECTLY in the action of their DR. Also, for some people, visualizing a single room is a lot easier than your whole DR world.
I mention this a lot (but I know newer shifters don’t always know this) but scripting is NOT necessary to shift. It is a helpful tool to organize your thoughts, just like methods are, but you do not 100% need one in order to shift. If you do still want to write a script for your WR, it can be whatever you want! It could be simple bullet points with description of the room, it could be a single paragraph, it could be a drawing, ANYTHING! Whatever helps you visualize or however you like to set up your script is what you should do!
Thanks for the ask and I hope this helps!! If you have any other questions, send them my way!!!
