Currently at my wits' end. This is just a questionnaire-based study but it's so hard to get people to respond to reach my minimum sample size. I'm so tired and I don't really want to have to beg (because damn I'm sure they all think so little of me by now hahah), but I got no choice but to continue begging if I want to graduate this year for sure.

whoever made that post about just writing 400 a day i LOVE YOU. i am someone who's capable of decent numbers. when really motivated I can finish a chapter and start a new one, but im not always like that, so it makes me feel like I should do that. But if I go into my doc being like "okay just 400 words" i can easily do like 800 just because I didn't put pressure on myself. sigh.

This might seem like a silly question: how do you know what you want to write? I could name aspects of things I've read but there's nothing concrete enough to say "yes, this is what i want to tell a story about".

7 Ways to Pick a Story and Start Writing

Any good idea, but especially when writing your first story, should be something that really matters to you.

1. Wish fulfillment

You want to indulge all your fantasies and unlikely adventures, so you write about them as a self-insert character or a character type you idolize.

2. Therapy

You have real-life personal issues you can't or don't know how to do anything about, so you give them to a character and help them get through them. This can be anything from a serious issue you live with to basic teen angst.

3. Education

You care very much about a subject and want others to care too, so you write fiction or non-fiction about it in a compelling way that hopefully teaches people to appreciate it. The subject and message can be promoting a deep cause or simply be a love letter to something you enjoy.

4. Representation

You don't see enough stories or characters of a certain type written in a satisfying way or even at all, so you're going to try and amend that. Either there aren't enough stories about dragons written to your liking, or you're tired of seeing the same characters in every story and want someone else in the spotlight for a change.

5. Response

You heard a story that was so dumb and the ending so wrong that you just know you could do better, so you take that idea and rewrite it. Many authors have done this, sometimes as parody but also seriously.

6. Fan fiction

You're still too involved in another's story to think of your own right now but you're also very inspired to create, so you write about the world and characters that are currently on your mind

7. Memoir/Journal

Crafting a story out of thin air may yet sound too daunting, so write about yourself and your experiences, or those of a close family member. Writing about yourself can lend to the "Therapy" aspect as well.

All of these boil down to "write the story you want to read." Because if you want it, you're more likely to actually write it. Many of these motivations can be combined into one story too. Any cool ideas you picked up from other stories or real life, find a way to incorporate them into something you care about.

Injuries For Your Characters To Receive When You’re In The Mood For Angst (And How To Treat Them.)

A: A bite wound. (Wash the wound with soap and water, then cover the area with a bandage. Afterward your character will need medical care from a doctor to make sure that they aren’t going to get rabies or an infected bite area.) 

B: A sprained wrist. (Your character should ice the area and avoid activities that cause pain. It’s also important to compress the area with bandages (But not so much that it cuts off circulation!) and keep it elevated.) 

C: A stab wound to the stomach. (This is an emergency room visit because abdomens have a lot of vital organs. Just straight to the ER.) 

D: A concussion. (A concussion is brain trauma so your character really should be checked out by someone at the ER. Afterward they should take it mentally easy and possibly take pills for pain.) 

E: A black eye. (An ice pack on the swollen area should help.) 

F: A broken ankle. (Your character will probably need to go to the Doctor to get their leg splinted. After leaving the hospital they’ll need to take it easy on their foot until it’s healed.)

gloria.

more a headcanon-ish fanwork, as i assume painters, sculptors, and bards of sanbreque would have romanticized and glorified dion after he won over the strait of autha during the battle of the twin realms. of course, this work is also heavily based on a statue of 'saint michael the archangel' and dion's character cgi render.

"Run away with me, Your Grace," Jote implored with tears in her eyes. "Please. It's not too late. I… I'm afraid to lose you."

Tears began falling from her eyes. "Joshua, please…"

The sight of Jote breaking down, the walls she had kept up all this time crumbling in that moment—it broke Joshua, too, and oh, how he wanted to go with her. He really did.

If only he could.

(He didn't.)

@undyingflamexvi people were talking about Jote proposing, and, well.

I took a spin on translating the Terence & Dion pages from the Ultimania as I was mostly seeing summaries and mtl floating around. The translation has been beta read and edited by @falathren.

Hopefully this can be of use✨ I just love teredio 😭❤️
