“how did you get into writing” girl nobody gets into writing. writing shows up one day at your door and gets into you

Breaking news! Fic author starts writing a fic thinking it will be short and it turns out to be long! It is not the first time nor will it be the last!

I could never write on my phone, but for some reason that changed this year and my word counts exploded, so it got me thinking about how everyone else is doing this.

Will be reading tags/replies in case you say how it's affected your word counts!

my Big Bad Writing Goals for the rest of this year are:

finish the year with at least 50 total completed works on ao3

get a bingo on my WIP bingo card

finish & start posting new face, old face (think i found a friend face)

which (part of a) summary do you like better?

1: Paris' heroes come and the children of Dupont go. Nino, through it all, stays.

2: Paris' heroes come and the children of Dupont go. Nino, who is not a hero and feels less like a child every day, stays.

Me, reading my scraps of fics in my notes app: oh, that’s good, I really like that. Someone should finish that.

WIP: new face, old face (think i found a friend face)

Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug

(Atlas, Fu thinks. I have made titans out of children.) (It is a sobering thought, too, remembering how the titans took their leave. Maybe it should be a cautionary tale. But Fu is not trusted, and so he must trust. And it is perhaps foolish, but he does.)

i am sitting here cackling and rubbing my little evil hands together as i plot out a divergent timeline fic for a WIP i've been working on for years and haven't even finished yet. and everyone around me just has to deal with it

nothing gives more of a power trip than realizing you can make AUs of your own AUs

nothing gives more of a power trip than realizing you can make AUs of your own AUs

rough day. if anyone wants to drop an ask, i'd appreciate it. fun facts, song/fic/media recs, jokes, questions about my fics or wips, ramble about your own, anything at all.

Send me a character for blorbo bingo

"i'll remember the exact phrasing of the paragraph i just thought of for my fic when i get to my computer later, i don't need to write it down or put it in my notes app" this is the devil speaking

me trying to restrain myself from adding a 5th comma to my sentence

I NEED TO REMEMBER THAT I AM MAKING ART FOR ART’S SAKE. TO CONTRIBUTE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL TO A WORLD THAT DOES IT NATURALLY. THE JOURNEY IS A PART OF THE ART MAKING PROCESS. AND THE BIGGEST AND BEST PROJECT I WILL EVER TAKE ON IS MYSELF. SO I CAN TAKE MY TIME AND ENJOY THE PROCESS OF CREATING MYSELF… OF CREATING SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL TO CONTRIBUTE. IT WILL BE DIFFICULT AND SCARY AND CHANGE WILL BE INEVITABLE HAS BEEN INEVITABLE BUT WHAT IS ALSO INEVITABLE IS THE BEAUTY IN WAKING AND CHOOSING TO LIVE AND BE MYSELF EVERYDAY. TO PURSUE THE BEAUTY THAT I WANT TO SEE EVERYDAY. TO CREATE IT!!!!

is anyone interested in me posting fic concepts and/or tiny scraps i've written of half-formed ideas if i don't think i'll take it any further?
