Miguel, snarls : You don’t deserve them.

Hobie, holding the confused Y/N tightly in his arms : Go take a bath. You reek of jealousy, mate.

i love ur stories so much omg i've read everything on your masterlist like a bunch of times, do you have any advice for an amateur writer who has posted one (1) fic and is now looking for inspiration slash motivation slash validation jdjdndmdkdk thank u ly bYe 👉👈👀

Thank you so much!! I appreciate you spending time on my blog! What are your favourites?

As for the advice. I think inspiration is more important in the beginning. Writing for yourself is key and, whilst I 100% agree with the validation aspect, let’s focus on the inspiration first.

I’m a huge believer in the more we do, the more successful we feel. I’ve mentioned it HERE in depth about the high bar, low bar scale. But a basic understanding is… the more we do towards our craft and succeed at it, the more likely we are to become more inspired and find it easier to do it. The scale relies on what is the least amount of work you need to put in consistently to see results to your goal.

The answer here for me is usually drabbles. Drabbles are quick and don’t really rely on a lot of work. I know Chelle Chats seems like I’m able to write anything and everything so fast but the reality is, I never used to write short stories. It was a challenge in the beginning for me! I come from a background of writing stories with at least 20 chapters each time before tumble and my very first drabble is what started this account!

The more drabbles I do, the quicker, the easier, and the more satisfied I am with them. Because my brain is tricked into seeing the success. “Wow, you couldn’t face writing that 2k story today but you wrote 8 drabbles and that’s about the same amount of words. Look at that!”

As for finding inspiration, prompt lists are your best friends. I personally love @promptdumpster whenever I’m feeling uninspired. Even just scrolling their blog makes more inclined to go write on my own projects! Also there are TONS of lists online for various genres or scenarios that you’d like to write. Find a prompt that stands out to you and write the first thing that comes to mind. Don’t plan it… just write. You might find yourself with a neat little drabble when you’re done.

There is nothing wrong or unoriginal about using prompts. I know some writers refuse to because it’s not “their idea” … we live in a world where not a lot is original. Your perception, your approach is definitely yours and yours alone… but I don’t agree with prompts being a “cheap” tool to have in a writer’s toolbox. If anything, they’re the most valuable challenge I’ve faced.

Touching on the validation real quick. It’s hard when you start out and the way I found myself getting somewhere was writing a lot (I used to post 12 stories a week at one point - I don’t recommend this, it’s exhausting) and networking. There is no shame in reaching out to people and saying, “Hey, I’m a new writer. Could you give my work a read and let me know what you think?” Do be prepared for feedback… I actually encourage it as it assists us in getting better at our craft.

Finally, a proper tagging system is a must. The first 5 tags really count so make sure you make them the most important.

I truly hope this helps. Feel free to message me with your story, I’ll happily read it. And cheeky plug, I actually have a prompt sideblog called @challengingwords where we release a prompt every fortnight and encourage participation to see what ideas everyone comes up with. Feel free to join us!

11/11/11 Tag Game

Thanks to @michaelbjorkwrites for the tag. I can’t find the original list, so I’m going to answer the same questions.

1. Do you have a favorite OC?

I have two that I can’t decide between. There’s Saphren, a severely OP OC that I’ve developed over many years of writing snippets both mentally and digitally. Saphren is an anthropomorphic canine with ridiculous cosmic powers who is in love with a mortal cursed with immunity to all forms of decay, including time. She’s actually a Guardian of many of my fictional worlds, something like an anti-Galactus but slightly more ridiculously powerful. However, she can only exercise said powers when she’s abiding by the Universal Law of Balance, and correcting said balance. So, if she can’t actually super-fight, she knows she messed up somewhere. Second is Samma Dawn, a Witch-Kin servant of Goddess Emelis, the First Mother (basically my Gaia stand-in for a world I’ve been developing called Minera). Samma can commune with flora and fauna, make bonds with both and even manipulate them directly if necessary. Samma is dutiful, somewhat aloof and often puts Nature above all else, leaving a bitter taste for many who meet him, but he is honest, and does care deeply for other peoples who take the time to understand his values and choices.

2. Which WIP has changed the most? Why?

Probably my most recent one concerning a retelling of a popular fairy tale, because I’m just not sure how to start it, what exactly I want to say about it, and I’ve been stuck in outline phase for a dog’s age because of college.

3. Do you enjoy worldbuilding? Do you consider yourself good at it?

Without a doubt I love WorldBuilding (TM). Worldbuilding is probably my favorite part of the big picture. As for good at it?.. I’m confident in my ability to spitball a believable world. When it comes time for details, like religions or culture, I’m someone who tends to take less inspiration from specific things, and I just look at broad categories. Like, I’ll look at a bunch of cultures that hold some specific animal(s) sacred and find similarities to build off of, rather than make a direct/potential analogue with ten different details and a new name.

4. Have you ever made a conlang/fictional language for a WIP?

Yes and no. I made a cipher language with translation rules, which ended up being far too specific and I kept losing track of how to substitute my vowels... So I didn’t get far. It was a fun experiment, and I was inspired to do it by StarFox Adventure’s cipher.

5. Do you like to keep faceclaims of your OCs? Do you find them online or draw them yourself?

Technically yes... I have a very vivid idea of what Saphren looks like, because I simply associate an old Furcadia (uwu bois) portrait from my favorite map to her face. As for Samma, I’ve never had him drawn, and I cannot draw myself, so his face is very close to mine in my head, but if I described it, it’d be so different in your own that I don’t really think it’s terribly important.

6. Has anyone ever made any fanfic or fan art for you?

No, no. I haven’t posted anything worth it, to be fair.

7. Who is your writing buddy/confidant you always come to about your work?

Probably my wife. She usually reads everything I write before anyone else. As for the process itself, I’ve been very private about stuff that either isn’t finished or is just literally fanfiction of my own that I write as a self-indulgence because sometimes I want to go to a magical horse world without war and politics.

8. Big or small cast?

Medium. I prefer to have a cast of five to seven. Some people say seven is big, but I think nine and up is big, personally. Now, I usually split this up into Big P(rotagonist), Direct Support (1-2 aka sidekicks), Main Party (Includes previous, 2-5), Narrative Support (2-4 depends on many things, and can change members), and Just For This Scene (because we pass people every day that contribute but never become important).

9. Were any of your characters inspired by others you saw or read about?

Saphren’s love interest mentioned above, Lord Harken, is based on the Dunedain from Middle Earth as far as his lore is concerned; he came from a medieval world originally, but since he’s immune to decay, he got to watch it develop into a space-faring one, and eventually got a ship of his own. I had a character somewhat based on Inuyasha at one point, though he wasn’t a demon originally. His name is Taka, or at least that’s what he calls himself as even I can’t remember if that’s his real name or not. His younger brother was killed in a mercenary raid of their village. The two were orphans even before this, so Taka was furious, walked to the gates of Hell and even beat one of Hell’s jailors at a chance game for his brother’s soul. Dimone, the Demon Avatar of Wrath, took notice and told Taka that if he would eat a Pale Apple from the tree within Lucifer’s Crater, he could always protect his brother. Taka did so, and was cursed with a dark seed that basically turned him into a killing machine any time his brother was threatened, Taka got angry, or someone did something immoral and Taka found out about it. Dimone tricked Taka into being a soul harvester, essentially. He gets better, but his journey was not a happy one. His brother outgrew him and died peacefully, and Taka’s one comfort was that his brother always understood and stood by Taka, so at least neither was truly alone.

10. Favorite trope(s)?

So many... World of Cardboard Speeches are something I love. Even Evil Has Standards usually makes for some interesting depth or hilarious bits. Our (Insert thing here) Is/Are Different is one of my favorites. Crouching Moron/Hidden Badass is so much fun to play with. I think the crowning trope for me though is probably Refusal of The Call. It’s almost cliche these days, but it’s not just yet because there’s also so many Jumped At The Call stories/games that when the “Hero” is just like, “Nah, I’m good” I always want to see what circumstances arise that either light the fire or changes the course. It’s great when done well.

11. How do you waste time not writing?

Minecraft, but at the same time, Minecraft has inspired me so much. The open world becomes a story in and of itself for me personally. Minecraft inspired me to create the world of Minera, and Minera is based on Minecraft as an environment with many of my favorite mods being the basis for the rest of the world; its magic, its peoples, its history, everything. I absolutely adore the game and everything it has given me, done for me, and in some dark places in my life kept me from doing.

Prompt Requests are OPEN!

Send me a prompt with any ship from TOG, ACOTAR, TWK, or even my Originals and I’ll write a thing! If you need help finding a prompt, you can search ‘prompts” on my blog for a handful of lists, or @the-moon-dust-writings @promptcenter @promptdumpster or even just searching prompts on tumblr in general will give you some options.

IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE A ROMANTIC SHIP! OR CANON! It can be platonic, two characters that don’t interact much, or It can be a total crack ship I’m here for ‘em. If you have a ship from an unmentioned series, send it anyway and if I’m able I’ll write it.

Y/N : He’s… he’s dead.

König, out of breaths : He was trying to hurt you.

Y/N : I—I know.

König, hyperventilating : I had to do it. I can’t- I can’t let anything happen to you. I had to—

Y/N, took his hands into their own : Hey, hey! Look at me. I know, okay? That bastard was going to kill me. You saved me. I’m just… sh🦄t. I’m just shocked, I guess?

König, looks into their eyes : But not scared?

Y/N, softly chuckles : Of you? Never.

Medic!Y/N, shouts : Get more medics here immediately! He’s losing too much blood!

König, barely conscious :

König, thru blurry eyes, enraptured in the light above him :

König, murmurs : Are you… an angel?

König, hand shakily reaches to the illuminated figure before him :

Medic!Y/N : I think he’s lost too much blood. He’s talking nonsense.

Other medic, amused : No, he’s fine. That was him trying to flirt with you.

Medic!Y/N, flustered : He’s delirious.

Ghost, looks down on his feet : I didn’t want to put a name to this feeling because if I did I wouldn’t be able to control it. Everyone I love leaves me. My mother, my brother, my sister-in-law, my nephew…… they are all gone.

Y/N, stands in front of him : And you thought if you allowed yourself to love me I would leave you too.

Ghost, looks up at them : And you did.

Y/N, reaching out to him : I came back.

Miguel : If I find him, I’m killing him.

Y/N : ‼️

Y/N, in a low tone : You know I can’t let you do that.

Miguel : You could always try to stop me, but I wouldn’t recommend it. I tend to hold grudges. Who knows, maybe after I’m done with him——

Miguel : You’ll be the next name on my list.

Y/N, unconsciously gulped : Are you threatening me?

Miguel, strides passed them : I’m warning you. Don’t get in my way. I don’t want to forced myself to hurt you——

Miguel, abruptly halted :

Miguel, glanced back to them over his shoulder : But if you are the only thing standing between me and him, you won’t like what I’m about to do to you.

Miguel, walks out the room :

Y/N : . . .

Ghost, walks up to them slowly : Everything I’ve done I did to keep you safe.

Ghost, tosses the dead body away : I killed all those people so you didn’t have to.

Y/N, hearts beating fast : I [never] asked you to do that!
