[m-moonlighthoughts]

writers! please interact with this post so i can follow your writing blogs and be encouraged by your progress. also check the notes and do the same if you have the desire!

[m-moonlighthoughts]

ok y'know what. I'm tired of all the same questions in ask games so I'm taking matters into my own hands

OC/Writing Art Asks

For the character:

Pencil: does this character have any "sketchy" habits? Have they ever broken the law? Do they regret it?

Pen: what's one minor moment your character regrets? A small mistake, but something they "can't erase"?

Paintbrush: How often does your character "brush over" conflict instead of facing it head on? Is there something specific they don't like to face, or do they avoid conflict as a whole?

Marker: what's one thing your character would never tattoo on their body, even if they were paid a million dollars for it?

Crayon: what was your OC like when they were four years old? Were they loud? Shy? Were they the resident "weird kid" or did they get along with others their age?

Colored Pencil: if given the choice, would this character splurge on an expensive (but potentially worthwhile) branded product, or buy a low-budget alternative even if the quality suffers?

Copics: what is this character's most expensive habit or hobby? Do they ever feel guilty about the money they spend on it?

Graphite: what's something decently common that your character does in a unique or different way? (like how graphite is present in all pencils, but not everyone uses pure graphite)

Charcoal: share any unique physical features about this character that are not scars or tattoos.

Tortillon: does your OC "blend in" with the people around them? Physically? Metaphorically?

Pastels: Give me three colors that best represent your OC. Now give me three colors that your OC likes best. Is there an overlap?

Chalk: what was one activity this character enjoyed with their sibling(s) as a kid? If they don't have siblings, what they did with their neighborhood friends

Eraser: what's one way this character has changed over time? Either over the course of their story, or over the course of designing them as an author.

Palette: list four of your character's primary skills, then share at least two ways these skills might blend or overlap

For the work:

Starry Night: are there any scenes in this work that take place at nighttime? Is this significant, or just the passing of time?

Mona Lisa: oh, it's the fanfic writer's favorite word. Do a find-and-replace on the word "smirk" and share any lines that pop up.

The Scream: are there any moments in this work that you think could scare a reader? Are there any moments where the characters themselves are profoundly scared?

Persistence of Memory: are there any moments in this work where a character's memory plays a strong role? Either an individual memory, or simply a character's ability to recall the past.

Girl With a Pearl Earring: are there any moments in this work where a character's clothing or accessories play a major role?

The Kiss: share your favorite kiss scene from this work. If there's no kiss scene, share your favorite moment of intimacy (romantic or platonic)

American Gothic: what's one relationship between characters in this work that you think people wouldn't expect? (i.e., how the people in American Gothic are not married, they're the painter's sister and dentist)

Guernica: look through a few of your imagery/descriptions in this work. Are they generally straightforward, or are they more "abstract"?

Wheatfield with Crows: are there any scenes in this work that involve birds? Do the birds play a definitive role, or are they simply part of the setting?

Woman with a Parasol: are there any moments in this fic that feel "blurry" to you? Is this a stylistic choice, or would you go back and clarify the descriptions if you were given the chance?

A Sunday Afternoon...: pick one "little moment" from this fic. How representative is it of the fic's tone and story as a whole?

Creation of Adam: choose one character that is not present at the beginning of this work. How did you introduce them into the story?

The Swing: are there any moments in this fic where the characters get to slow down and have fun? If not, why is that?

The Last Supper: does this fic incorporate any symbolism based on religion, theology, or mythology? If so, give an example.

For the author:

Paper: Who do you feel is your most two-dimensional or underdeveloped OC? Why is this? (including those that are still in development/haven't been written about yet)

Canvas: Do you ever "prep" your fics with outlines or warmups before you start writing, or do you just dive right in?

Graffiti: Have you ever had to research something that felt illicit or illegal for a fic? What was it?

Photography: What's one moment from any of your fics that you feel is preserved in your memory?

Clay: Do you usually take time to "sculpt" your OCs before you write them, or develop them as you write?

Film: Which one of your fics do you think would work best if turned into a movie? Who would direct it?

Adhesive: when you write, do you usually "stick" to one character or story for a while, or bounce around various characters and ideas?

Cricut: are there any characters you've had to "cut" from a story? Are there any moments/chapters/stories you've had to "cut" entirely?

Felting: how often do you include soft moments when you write? Do these moments play a role in the main plot, or do you include them as an escape from the rest of the story?

Weaving: are your works typically similar to one another? Pick two works, and share one similarity and one difference between them.

Finger Painting: share a small snippet from your earliest work (or the earliest that you can get back to). How would you rewrite it today? Either share the rewrite itself or just describe how you'd do it.

Creative!: free space! share something you've been dying to share about your writing! Could be an OC that never gets the limelight, a moment you were proud of, or anything else you'd like to share

13. What is the latest you’ve stayed up or earliest you’ve gotten up to write?

mmh, once i stayed up until 6 am because i just had this amazing idea and i had to see how it would turn out, but then i lost track of time and ended up writing for like five hours in the middle of the night. it was really really fun though, i would totally do it again.

HIYA hows the writing going?

it's going pretty well tbh. i'm still on chapter two, but i'm working a lot on my characters, their relationships and their arcs before starting the actual writing of the first draft. :)

Hey Just a PSA but i wanna send as many writing asks as possible to multiple users so if you want me to drop you a  message, could you like or reblog this?

#please do

[m-moonlighthoughts]

this is an unusual kind of post for this blog, but i think it's time for it.

as some of you may -or may not- know, I'm currently working on a novel, and i might want to post something about it here, on this blog.

that being said, english is not my first language, i'm italian, so i can't post some extracts of my novel because basically no one could understand them.

so, if this doesn't completely flop, and it probably will, i might start posting something about it, such as my ocs, the world building, what the whole thing is even about and maybe some concepts that will be apart of it. who knows, maybe i'll post some translated quotes and lines.

anyway, interact with this post if you have questions, ideas or requests and if this doesn't get anyone's attention in the next week, i'm going to delete this post:)

what if

how many nights have i spent

with too many thoughts to fall asleep?

how many days have i wasted

thinking about what could've been?

it could've been good,

it could've been great,

maybe i should've stopped you,

maybe you would've stayed.

'what if's are all i can think about,

cause what if i've hurt you,

what if you were right, all along:

what if after all, i'm the one who did you wrong?

to rest

in the middle of an ocean of thoughts,

of expectations, pressure, millions of words,

i try to swim, i try to stay afloat,

but in order to succeed, i cannot ever stop.

i'm not allowed to rest,

cause what if i'm not the best?

and if i don't always excell,

for me that's nothing left.

that's what i keep on thinking,

but now everything starts spinning

and i can't help but noticing

how scarily fast my heart is beating.

maybe i should just focus on breathing

but i'm so overwhelmed, i'm suffocating

maybe it's better to give up, to stop trying:

I allow myself to rest, finally, as i'm drowning.

that bright, winter day

it was a bright, winter day

when half my heart went away,

you took it with you, don't you remember?

you took it with you, that night in december,

when you promised me it was going to be forever.

but what does forever mean?

what does it mean when you're still in your teens?

nothing, in fact my heart never went away,

it broke, shattered, you hands covered in blood,

a million broken pieces on the floor,

on the carpet we once walked on,

holding our hands, holding our breath,

closing our eyes, lovely whispers in the air,

it was a fun time, don't you remember?

don't you remember the nights we spent talking,

talking like we had it all, knew it all,

like nothing could've stopped us,

you hold my hand again, again you let it go,

you put in on my cheek, to wipe away the tears,

but now that my face is covered in them,

now i ask to myself: where is that hand?

it was a bright, winter day

when you took my happiness and ran away.

haunted

my house is haunted,

it true, believe me please:

the ghosts in here are a hundred

and they will never leave.

i swear i'm not insane,

last night i heard them scream,

they were calling out my name;

tomorrow i am going to leave.

it's been a week since i ran away,

but i still hear those noises,

their voices in my head;

and they will never stop.

maybe my house isn't haunted,

you were right, you've always been,

in fact those ghosts,

i think they're haunting me.

it's been a month, i have figured it out:

those screams that i can hear,

they are the last words of my victims,

all begging me to let them live;

maybe i should've listened.

that night in june

your eyes like endless oceans,

let me look at them until i drown.

your hair like golden strings

i want to wrap my fingers around.

your lips like gorgeous petals,

let me kiss them until i cannot breathe.

your voice like delightful melodies

i've only heard in my nicest dreams.

and i still remember that night in june

when even the fairest among the stars

seemed to disappear, together with the moon,

as soon as i laid my eyes on you;

and i have thought of you ever since.
