I didn't want to write either and forced a 3k and one of the scenes ended up being so emotionally charged I started crying writing it </3 you never know what you'll get if you just force yourself to sit down and write

Something about reading just gets my writing brain a-crankin'. I guess because even when I read, I can't help but do it through a writer's lens and pick up on all the technical treasures of a good book (like "Wow that vocabulary choice really conveys the tone perfectly!" or "That's a unique way to subtly tie in the underlying theme!").
Especially with broader plot beats. Honestly, some of my best ideas have been inspired by reading how another author chose to write a specific story or arc. Sometimes it's positive, in which I enjoyed how they wrote it but think about all the others ways it could have played out; and sometimes it's negative, where a plot didn't go in the direction I wanted it to, in which case I start thinking of how I would write it differently to "fix" it.

Man, wish I could read 100+ pages in a day and still have time (and energy) to write I try to read on my lunch break at work. But usually I only get about 20 pages if I’m lucky because I’m also trying very hard not to fall asleep. It’s the only time I get to read now a days ):

It’s interesting how we can all get inspired differently by the same pieces of work. Like, how maybe we can all read the same book (for instance) but take different things out of it.
Usually, the technical stuff goes over my head. It’s the emotions and the way the characters make me feel that inspire me. Books that inspire me are ones that make me think “I want to create something that makes me feel like that”

Am I the only one who has just hundreds of stories/google docs that aren't finished & most likely never will be revisited, or is it just me?

I spent several hours today trying to untangle a complex character of mine. The sort of complex where you need to just sit down and unscramble all the different layers to their characterization to make sure there's a comprehensible, continuous thread that connects it all, so that their motivations and beliefs are consistent (or if they're contradictory, that they are purposefully so).
I had great success. But my brain hurts.

I’m so grateful for this thread, it’s fun to see everyone accomplishing their goals and having relatable writing experiences. I can’t write as much as I used to, but I always enjoy checking in on the updates here : )

I need to update my fanfic. I haven't updated it since last month. Where has motivation gone? But since you mentioned it, I'll probably start writing the fourth chapter right now lol.

To all of y'all who post fanfiction- Where do you post it?
For me, AO3 will always be my savior. The best place for fanfiction, imo.

It's a bit slow but has the bonus of having people you can actually talk to and interact with <3 And honestly the comments I get from here are worth so much more than anon comments on other sites. (and if you ARE writing warriors fanfic and are sharing please share here too! the only way to bring the wff corner back to activity is for more people to add their updating 'fics to it and interact with other people's threads!!) Other fic, Ao3 is the only real option now. Which is fine, and their tagging system is great, it just feels very impersonal to me. More like sharing a personal document from my computer with other people instead of posting a story for interaction with the community.

Because I have a Princess x Smudge one-shot that's completed that I'm willing to post.
