Posting a brand new story feels kinda like flashing strangers. You kinda feel exhilarated, kinda insecure, hoping your boobs aren’t lopsided, you spend the whole time trying to glean approval from their reactions, and at the same time reaaaallly wanna put your top back on… Or is it just me?

So I have been doing something right all along… And the cops said it was wrong…

The cops merely said you’re being too slow, because you wouldn’t have been caught if you were running faster.

Oh, I see… Have to work up the cardio a little more.

So the job program I’m in, that’s been taking up all my time and getting in the way of me writing awesome shit, is going to end in 2 weeks. Right on my birthday. Part of me really hopes I get a job out of this. Nothings more stressful than wondering how you’re going to survive the month.
But a huuuuge part of me – the big fat hermit with the mullet and the shotgun that lives in the back of my shoulders – wants to get time to myself again. I miss being able to stay up all night, writing for 10 hours straight, and following that with a 4 hour betaing session for friends. I’ve been a writer for 18 years – more than half my life. I have no idea how the majority of you guys are able to work all day and still have the mental capacity to churn out a page or two.- Show previous comments 3 more

Awww! I thought I was being selfish missing your editing
You miss it too!!! Come back to us!
-
Well, my job’s 40 hr/wk, pays decently that I’m not hurting for funds, and I’m single w/o kids, so yeah, I can devote time to writing
-
That’s awesome DP! I’m not even working that much on this program. It’s at most 30 hours a week, but I’m such an introvert, having to smile at people every day is so draining I can’t focus during my alone time lol. I’m happy I’m doing it though! I got another certificate today that’d look good on a resume, so yay! I just miss being in control of what I do with all my time.
-
Time in the story where I most frequently have existential crises, and question all the skills I’m normally (over)confident of…? The first. Frickin. Sentence.
And yes. I deleted and redid this status because of a typo. FML.

Funny, I kind of do the same thing... I'll start writing... Sometimes two, three, half the novel, then I get a scene that I have to write... And it's much later... So I stop writing where I am to advance off to the later chapter/scene. On occasion, I've done what you said, written a scene without writing anything else, because it's detailed, then I work it around…
And yeah, sometimes, it would be easier to write it backwards... But then, wouldn't there still have to be a first line? Whether it's a last line?
-
I’d suggest you totally blow the first line and move on… (haha that sounds silly
) you can always come back and play with it. you might get ideas about what you really want to do with the first line later. Don’t beat yourself up, just get into the meat of the story!
-
Sometimes I’ve found myself writing backwards too. Of course, those scenes far off will typically be more plot critical (gives me an idea of how it’ll play down), though there’s still frequently a sexual scene, toying with my characters, leaving me to figure out where I’ll put it (because the scene will be good). I’m sure I’d keep a shrink occupied for their entire career if they ever cared to really analyze it in me.

Oh. My. God. Howl’s Moving Castle is an amazing movie. Now I have to go devour the rest of Studio Ghibli’s films I’ve been procrastinating about watching for years. If I disappear for another month, blame Turnip head.

Well, maybe a little, but who am I to judge?
-
watch When Marnie was there, Castle in the Sky, Porco Rosso, The Wind Rises
-
Yes ma’am

Got super inspired for a scene on Blackbird this morning while listening to Megan Mullally sing “Guilty”. Grabbed my laptop, opened up chappie seventeen, then the inspiration just friggin floated away. Where the frig did it go?! So if y’all see this bitch floating around somewhere, tell em to come home to mama. I got a pair of shackles with its flaky bitchass name on em.
For the record, I don’t know why I’m talking like that either.- Show previous comments 14 more

Lol. You just want Bull and Dorian... Wait, I think they get together if you don't ;). Lol... Hmm, not my cup o' tea, but there's something BW... Threesome tale... lol. Actually, weirdly enough, I'd probably read it... Lol
-
I have heard they get together, which I can’t help but imagine is utterly hilarious and more than fun. It may happen in one of my current playthroughs, while my female human mage seduces Cullen because…
I will confess disappointment that I still don’t get a shot at Varric. I adore that dwarf.
-
You and me both. I named my dog in Origins Varric lol But that’s what fan fiction’s for, right?
-
I want to write. Soooo bad. But I’m in one of those funks where I feel like everything I touch is pointless, even if I know it’s going well. The frustration of it has become a irate buzzing at the tips of my nerves. My skin is crawling, my spine and shoulders feel primed to crack. My typing fingers itch and the words in my head yearn to alleviate them, but every little distraction echoes through my head loud and painful like a gunshot.
I just want to scream or break shit or cry, but I can’t do those, so emoting all over my profile was the next best thing. I know what’s causing this, but knowledge apparently isn’t a cure. Damnit.- Show previous comments 5 more

::hugs tightly::
Words have a great deal of power, I know. But your words deserve to be heard. Try that PWP.
-
Oh, damn..
*hugs you*
I vote that you let Bee beat someone up in this PWP…. just think about it. Blackbird, sending someone else to hospital for a change. All righteous and such.
Or, honestly, anything you want really. Writing really does help if you can bear to get the words down.
Btw, Kinihiyawan cl? Because I couldn’t find any way to say “cheer up” in the Cree language. The internet failed!
But I could try this out (which is probably the best I can come up with if it makes any sense):
tapwi, Ayiman. Kiyam, Ekayakosta. Otâcimow.

Just double up that disclaimer, because it’s purely coincidental if the scumbag ends up on the wrong end of a PWP snuff fic.

Happy Halloween!!!!!!! … !!!

Just a few more days until I go driving halfway across Canada! I'm so excited!
-
That sounds like so much fun!

Man... Finally posted chapter six! Writer's block + flu + cross country move are all very conducive to the creative process, I swear.

It was a dark and stormy night....

Cats yowled, and the sewers backed up...

Suddenly, a shot rang out.
-
BOO! ... Scared? Happy Halloween!

Only of corgis that go bump in the night...
Happy Hauntings!

Here goes nothing. New story up. *Fingers crossed*.
-
Slowly climbing out of a chasm of discouraging thoughts. I think I'm almost ready to start writing again. Almost.
-
How does one write smut with a pug staring at them? It's becoming... disconcerting.
-
I empathize completely. I have a corgi dropping her favorite toys on my foot as I type. O.o

I read a thriller writing tip somewhere... about purposely writing yourself into corners often. The idea tickles me - I think I like it.

I need new ways to describe yelps and screams...

caterwauling, yips, shrieks, howls, gibbering...

She was always looking for new ways to hurt him. The old ways ended in yelps and screams. Now, he made much more interesting noises. Some time later, she was finally arrested. (sorry, I just couldn't help myself)
-
LOL! That made my night. Thanks guys.

Hobbes, Darwin, and Oscar Wilde are having a tea party. Whose pants come off first? (Behold my epic riddle!)
