#and barely finished the first chapter...

[yeeiguess]

I checked when I created the word doc for my current fic WIP because I was certain it'd been like, four months since I started writing and it's been a few days over one month ?????? We love having ADHD /j

#Time blindness is REAL #also I'm 10k words in :) #and barely finished the first chapter... #for référence last fic was 30k and the longest chapter is under 8k #there just wasn't a good time to stop #before #also... I made a plan #and then didn't follow it. forgot it existed (it's in the exact same word doc right under where I wrote) #i just had ideas !! and then when I remembered the plan I checked and. well the ideas didn't match anymore #anyway Zuko is gay and autistic and adhd. give him some slack. #writing this in Zuko's pov which means I mention something once and then never again because he FORGOT #I swear I'm doing it on purpose. mostly #Spark remebered the fidget turtle duck do NOT forget about the fidget turtleduck #spark talk #adhd #fanfiction writer #audhd zuko

The fact that my first fanfic is still gaining reads and comments makes me feel bittersweet 😭😭😭.

#fic #fanfic #levihan #It's my first fic alright #with lots cringe sprinkles. #But it's also the only one that made me write more than 30 chapters. #How do i ever make that kind of feat again?! #writing chapters used to be a breeze #but that was ages ago #now i can barely finish less than 3k-word fic within a week

“I’m not going”

Eddie whines loudly (and dramatically) as you slam your locker shut. “B-but you can dance with Harrington! That’s the whole point of the Masquerade Ball! You’ll be all incognito” his eyes go wide with excitement.

Robin nods enthusiastically, “Yeah yeah yeah! Plus my sister can give you a makeover, no one will ever know you’re a Henderson and you can get your one dance in with dingus”

“Robin”

“Fine, Steve”

help me I’ve started another story 🫠

#I ALWAYS DO THIS TO MYSELF #IVE BARELY FINISHED THE FIRST CHAPTER TO KNOCKED UP #AND ITS OVER 5K WORDS AT THIS POINT #stranger things #steve harrington x female reader #steve harrington fanfic #steve harrington x reader #steve harrington x henderson!reader

[skyward-floored]

So here’s a question:

If I, say, happened to have a fic that is like maybe a little more than halfway done... would people rather wait for the entire thing to be finished, or want a chapter of it now?

#because what would be the first chapter is finished #and what would be the second is really close #as is the third #the fourth hasn’t barely been written #and it’ll be a while til it’s done #thoughts? #rambles from the floor

[youjustwaitsunshine]

when in doubt start reading the greatest epic of our time again

#nah but i legit reread that fic every time i procrastinate making important life decisions #yes issues are being had. happy martian monday this still counts #god i tore through it the first time like. i was HOOKED #i think it was barely 4m when i started i cant wrap my head around how much of the story there is #also that georgia k has said before that it's all planned out. it's funny really how the older chapters are like 'still ~5 chapters to go' #scary to think that this will actually end one day #okay real talk i know georgia k never drops the ball on anything (ogs remember the menton easter egg) #so i really need them to go to the restaurant in monza again where they went before *that* race and the chef predicted the ferrari move #and i KNOW mark probably forgot because there were bigger things and seb... well yknow. but i need this as a coincidence. serendipity. w/e. #uh rant over please ignore this i am so invested in this. also the girl with the baby. how is she will we see her again. ok finished now.

anyways if you like linebeck as a silly pathetic wet meow meow dilf then go and watch tiger & bunny

#i think yall who like linebeck like that might get a kick out of kotetsu #linebeck #if you do watch tiger and bunny understand that you do not watch it for the plot ok #you watch it for the ‘plot’ (good character stuff generally interesting mini plots and the queer stuff) #also- maybe check out the movie after watching season. 1 cuz it properly introduces a guy that just shows up in season 2 #theres also some special that adds some stuff between some early chapters its not incredible important #but i think its the only place where you can find (in the source material) what one (main.) characters ability actually is #also watch with subs there is one character whose whole thing is that hes rlly quiet and i think its fine if you miss what he says but stil #also season two first half there are bits after the credits they add a tiny bit if context for some characters who show up later #tiger and bunny is good but really not flawless. have fun #the cgi is rlly good imo i barely care abt if it melds with the 2d it looks fucking good #anyways its not 1:1 ofc but i do think linebeck fans should give t&b a try. join me #i have to rewatch t&b but i need to watch kaiba first and im taking a break bc i finished monster and ough #salty talks

orv witch hat atelier!au doodles

hear me out– it makes zero sense but the idea of hsy 'becoming' a pointed cap witch is immensely funny to me– also i just know she would go rogue at some point. for certain.

#the last one had me oanicking as i finished drawing it– #i was like. sp quickly here have a wand– #orv #orv spoilers #only because od is here #han sooyoung #secretive plotter #oldest dream #my art #why would hsy even join the phw or even the knights?? #first of all. this is barely an au. i drew this because witch hat atelier clothes pretty and i love orv and wha dearly #but also. write what you know i guess XD she needed to find out those state secrets pls understand. her rep as a writer was on the line– #its ok– od just got startled by the forgotten gods/stories. sp eventually saves him 😌 #have not actually read the latest wha chapters so if the lore drastically changed and i didnt know lets just turn a blind eye

[handsome-john]

How am I supposed to be normal when I've been writing most of my life and I still have yet to complete a long-term project

#i know that i am very young and i know that i have plenty of time to finish my projects #but i can't help but look at all my work and feel like I've done nothing #I've got 100 pages of notes for an original story and i barely have a first chapter let alone a solid plan

[bipolarediaz]

I know my updates on the bipolar eddie fic have been... terrible to say the least lmao

I just got a new job and I’m moving states! and while I’m super excited it also means I’m very busy and also my anxiety is THROUGH THE ROOF about it rn so while I have the next chapter started idk when I’m gonna be able to finish it much less the fic as a whole

#I'm sorry I know I made such a big deal about finally posting this fic #and then life immediately was like lmfao nope #it'll get finished... at some point! #I probably should have waited until I finished at least most of the fic before I started posting it #but I was really proud of those first couple chapters #and I'm proud of what I have of this one too! I'm excited to finish and post it! #maybe I'll do some writing this weekend #anyway people probably Do Not Care about when I'm going to update but I figured I'd just let everyone know how I'm doing #I've also like barely written on my other blog for a decent while which is frustrating

[the-dragonlich]

There is a book I am desperately trying to think of and I am so pissed I forgot both the name and the author because it was one of the books that I read that left a genuine impress on me as a kid

#ramblings #I’m not exactly sure if I could say what sort of impact it had on me but I do feel it was of the things that shaped #me in some way or another #both because it was a out of my ordinary anthropomorphic animal books #and in general was just one of the very few contemporary books I read because I mostly stuck to fantasy #I’m not sure if I’m ever actually going to find it again because the records of me ordering it from the library lost on me at this point #it was like at least 7 years ago so not surprising #I really wish I had the focus to fucking read anymore in general #I fucking loved reading so much as a kid but now I can barely bring myself to finish a page even though I am interested in the premise #is it just ADHD bs and even though I’m interested I’m not interested enough to give the brain enough dopamine #I really need to get medicated maybe then I could start doing at least a chapter a day and ease myself into it #like when I first started reading big chapter books as a little kid #maybe I should try reading the Reckless series again because looking back on it that series was likely aimed at adults #and little 12 year old me got a hold of it because it was in the fantasy genre #where was going with this? #⬅️ bitch who is unmedicated

[tyrilstarfury]

So this bitch really got married!!!

Love this messy couple!

#playchoices #TNA #Sam Dalton #Urgh I'm actually going to miss this hot mess... Idk I really like this series... I wouldn't have minded a fourth baby #But I get not every book is trrr.. Even though I literally read one chapter of that last book and no further #anyway i digress #I think this awfully selfish couple deserves all tha happiness because Lord knows they put each other first #I'm going to miss the boys and I really wanted a baby... Lol I want a baby book dammit #If this fandom wasn't dead I'm sure I would get a baby fanfic but I'm not gonna write because I can barely finish a drawing let alone #Adulthood sucks amirite #Anyway I thought I would be happy it was finally over but here I am wanting more #Sigh I think it felt like an og choices book but not... Idk what I'm even saying but I like this book regardless

[james-stark-the-writer]

I love being insane and rambling/loredumping for over an hour in a voice note about a niche thing in the lore/world of my nonexistent book that will probably never come up and is probably not important to the story at all that I know of because I haven't really started writing it yet besides two chapters and some snippets that were like a few years ago because I cannot be bothered to do research for a different WIP that is not even past the basic stages (the real inciting incident hasn't even happened) bc it's not a current priority before finishing the first draft that I have been working on for the last four years or the first draft of the other WIP I've been working on since the year two thousand and sixteen.

#just writer things #truly hate my brain sometimes like why am I getting trivia for a book I have barely written like 2 #20K* words for like I haven't even opened the doc for it in like 8 months and I haven't actually added anything for over 2 years now so. #I don't even have any particular plans to get to it until I at least finish the 2 WIPs I'm working on rn— #which includes one I've been writing the first draft for since 2018 and a basically done first draft of a WIP from like 2016 #both are missing the 3rd act bc I suck at writing cliamxes + my writing style for either books isn't suited for that so it'll take a while #like the 2016 one is at 120K words and literally only needs 1 more chapter and an epilogue so maybe like 20K more words. #there's supposed to be a big climactic battle which intersects the stories of approximately 25 named characters until the actual climax #which is another battle but more small scale but also more epic bc it's personal and magical #and I've literally already written the second battle but the buildup to the first fight is hard and so is the actual battle #then there's the WIP that's haunted me for the last 4ish years which is at 160K of an expected 200-220K and is entirely missing the 3rd act #like I have some stuff written and I did plan a structure for a bunch of the main plot stuff bc the book takes place over a strict timeline #but like the actual climax is mostly missing like I have the ending written. the ending is fully done. #I've had it written and planned for a WHILE bc it's supposed to lead into a future story and it has to happen this way #but idk how to get there just yet with a cast of almost 50 named characters to keep track of and 6 'main' plots although it's really 3 #like it's a lot to balance bc I prefer writing with larger casts and just getting things done is so hard #bc I physically can't do 'write later' to stuff bc those are some of the most important interactions to me and idk how characters act if— #I don't have those written precisely. it's sort of a story about the effects of the mundane. I literally can't 'write details later' this. #and in the middle of this nightmare — a 4 month writing drought — my brain in like 'here's a bunch of shit about a third story' #god sometimes I simply hate my brain #anyway yeah lol #truly just writer things #owad #anyway guess this is me sort of pivoting back to vomiting about writing on this blog #writbelr #writblr #james rambles #James yells in the tags
