#but then the chapters are like 1.5k

[bidisastersanji]

Finally writing my “zoro gets lost because he uses the red thread of fate as a compas” story and I’m so giddy it’s like the first thing I posted on here

Edit: I posted it

#also someone help I don’t know what the right way to post it should be #thinking of breaking it into three chapters #but then the chapters are like 1.5k #is that too short? #should I just post it all at once #but then that’s long for Tumblr ? #agh #zosan #zosan fic #zoro x sanji #one piece zosan

stumbles and falls, dropping my files like a silly little thembo

O-Oh! Goodness silly me, I dropped this snippet from the chapter 14 WIP of FFtB! How clumsy!!

#shade's fftb #dabi smut #dabi x y/n #dabi x reader #dabi #enjoy this you little bastards #we're on 1.5k words rn but i just got started so #hope you're in for the ride kids #once this is done i WILL be posting chapters back to back most likely #so you won't have to wait long

Seven Minutes and Ever After, Reverse AU Drabble, ~3.7 Words

Working with Dawn has its up and downsides. Today you're being reminded of the latter - especially when he ditches you in the middle of your escape to go hang out in a janitor's closet. Best to figure out what that's all about, then.

Reverse AU drabble based on a funny little thought I had that of course entirely got away from me. Not canon to the reverse timeline

#post let luce #dcamv #accidentally undercover #au alt timeline #reverse au #my fic #me starting this “huh i wonder if ill even get past 1.5K” #me after 2.5K “WHEN WILL YOU END. WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS” #anyways yes I had a little thought and decided to put them in a situation #i also simply realized i cant focus on one big plot and just work on that all the time #so the next big plot chapter is coming but im not making any promises about when #bounty hunter brain also still strong #but yes. have some silly. and. well. the rest too #enjoy <3

literally what if i posted no context lover boy excerpts from my 1am writing session. anyway y'all ever get stood up on a first date and fantasise about being stuck in traffic with him

Or maybe they would not talk at all and that would call the end of whatever this is before it could start. Or maybe, in the silence is where he’d see how a traffic light glosses red over Ashley's face, his curls, the glint of his pearl earring, and between an amber light is when he’d catch Beau’s eyes on him, and maybe he’d smile, and something in both of them would dovetail between the warmth.

+ beau having autism sensory enrichment time at the beach whilst lying on his own in the sand

If Beau could, he’d like to fall asleep to the drift of the waves, steadying, like breaths. It's easy to sink into them. Even with the buzz of cars and voices and laughter and stereos in the distance. He knows he can’t sleep here but still lets an arm drape over his eyes, the coolness of the leather on his skin. It’s comforting. He did not consider until now, that he might need to be comforted. He feels as if it would be easier to fall asleep here than his own bed. There is something about the beach, the in-between spaces, these two entities wrapped around him, his awareness of both at the same time as well as his own placement in neither of them. He could be anywhere right now. He could be floating in a stranger’s pool, or inside a lava lamp, within a nebula. His yoyo hand, fallen onto his chest, presses on his necklace, the anatomical heart one, and he feels it again, that smooth coolness. It’s comforting, grounds him into his own body. He wants the feeling to consume him.

#'floating in a strangers pool' YOU WILL NEVER BE DOROTHY MORAN SPIRALLING IN RR. BUT IF YOU WANT WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN #from the first 500 words of lover boy i am finally stitching this first chapter together!! it's been 1.5k of jumbled words now its 1.8k wit #an actually coherent start! #had a rly weird day then wrote 700 words and was like wow nvm we are sooooo back #lover boy

winter wonderland for that christmas oscar story you're writing? 🥰

oooo i didnt know what part to tease bcs i didnt want to spoil too much shdkdhf but here we goooo....

but as oscar walks back to the kitchen, he sees something hanging in the door frame to the kitchen. he stops in his tracks. "no way..." festive cookies isn't the only thing lando got when he went to the local supermarket. he also bought the ultimate tool for securing his master plan – a mistletoe. he doesn't know how, but he's planning to make sure you and oscar meet underneath it at least once before the holidays are over. there's no way you'll both be able to avoid it all week.

#hihihihi #aaaaaa i had a rlly nice time writing on it like last week or 2 weeks ago or something #but now idk #have gotten a little bit of writers block #definitely know the cause though #its that damn lando norris #istg my current lando obsession is so strong that i cant even think of other drivers #oscar my dear loveeee i promise i'll be back to loving you in just a minute 🫠 #though earlier today i was binge-reading @holllandtrash's 6 to 1-series (idk how i havent done it until now?? #quite literally a masterpiece aaaa and didnt exactly make me less obsessed w lando) and when oscar suddenly appeared in one chapter #i went “oscar!!! 😄😄” #baby <3<3 #no one asked about this but i wanted to say for the 10th time that im in a very lando mood 🫡 sorry not sorry #jack's 1.5k celly! #winter wonderland!

my ability to write so much and say nothing never ceases to amaze me

#carly.txt #i wrote 3k of ABSOLUTELY NOTHINGGG LIKE #girl. #i wanted to progress the plot so much this chapter but AS USUAL we ain't doing SHIT #just chillin in a garden for 1.5k words .

[eltheabberation]

Writing multi-chapter fics is all fun and games until you have to decide where the first chapter ends

#my rambles #ourgh this is a pain #cause on one hand it could end where it is currently #but it would kinda feel weird ending it there #but continuing it would make the first chapter really long #unless I move some of the stuff I have planned to later?? #then again I don't know how long really long is ;-; #like it's currently at 2.3k words and idk if that's a good length for a first chapter #I've never actually posted something over like 1.5k before ;-; #idk

me: really tired, eyes hurting, just wants to sleep bc i have violin lesson in the morning and some deadlines to keep in mind

insomnia, the moment i close my eyes:

#anyway it's 4:45am and i've gone to work on my paper instead of sleeping #chances are i'm gonna be more productive now than i ever could have been during the day even if i'd slept through the night #i simply just work best when the sun is down #aaaanyway gotta get back to writing so i don't end up pulling an all-nighter for nothing #airenyah plappert #hello darkness my old friend #i've already written like 100 words in only 20-30mins #i'm so NOT motivated for this paper that i've spent an entire day writing only like 100 words #so this is already progress #i have about 4h until i need to get ready for my violin lesson sooo #here's hoping there'll be many more 20-30mins where i'll write 100 words #that's many many words i could be managing in the span of 4h #(i need to write at least 1.5k more words in this chapter and then the paper is also still missing an introduction and a conclusion) #(i have about a week left to get it done) #(wish me luck)

[alpinelogy]

just in, ao3 dot com writer is a clown yet again and underestimated word counts. this might be a problem...

#timeloop fic issues. why do i feel like my two update buffer wont be enough and i will be posting this during exams #structure is supposed to be three race weekends (bahrain jeddah australia) per chapter/loop. anyway so bahrain friday is 1.5k words... #and i have like another 1k to add #my only saving grace is the fact that this is also alex overthinks his entire life more at eight. maybe i can still do one loop per chapter #we shall see but i am doubtful #i am aiming for four concrete loops (second/first time he came back). two in the middle. and the last one. with flashes of the other #loops mixed in but somehow i dont think 32 - 40k words is enough. thisisfine.jpg #erika.txt

[wheremermaidsdwell]

so with editting my 1st chapter is now over 7k so i think i need to find a new place to cut it LMAO

#i'm a mess of a person but this fic is SO GOOD I SWEAR #there's a spot that cuts back like 1.5k #so i think i'll do that #also explained why i thought i was farther then i hit the 'chapter 2' marker and went 'ah fuck' #hellcheer trash

[quaranmine]

the firewatch document has officially hit 20k 👀

#that would be chapters 1-3 and like one 1.5k scene that's currently out of place

penelope, waiting

chapter 3

The kingdom would not survive without a king.

The first suitor arrived just before Annabeth’s father had taken his last breath. Broad shouldered and sure-footed, demanding with the air of a man already crowned that he be allowed the throne. The guards ushered him away by the new Queen’s request, but the seed had already been planted. 

If it were up to Annabeth alone, her son and she would be long gone from this golden prison. It didn’t matter to her, who was left to fight for the kingdom and who would die in the process. If it were only her and the two year old boy with his mother’s eyes and his father’s laughter– not one of these vultures would hear from them again. But even as she plotted their escape every night, something held her back.

“Look at them,” She said as Sally cooed at her son. Under the balcony, men had arrived in hordes. The kingdom would not survive without a king. “We have been graced with a brave king. A noble king. How do they find it within themselves to even attempt to replace him?”

#me copy pasting like. half the chapter in these posts so true of me #the chaptera are like. 1/1.5k words tops guys its so easy to read xo #dizzy miss lizzie

[prettyboykatsuki]

if you wanna keep the stats & stuff do u think a chapter by chapter rewrite would be doable?

yeah! honestly the fic isn't that long for me. about the length of my yan gojo fic but no stakes at all to write. it would be a long process but very doable imo

#return to sender #like ten chapters 3k words a chapter #1.5k words a scene #the thing that ive learned about myself most is how long it takes to write things LMAO

[dancedance-resolution]
