Flameflier404 - A Writing Dumpster Fire

When in doubt, stay away from the main story and think about what those other random OCs of yours can do, accidentally make an entire story for them, want to write it into its own book/series, and finally realize there’s no plot. The only reason you haven’t done anything else with them is because you don’t want to get rid of them. Writer issues.

Me, in reference to a D&D character: He’s just a little guy!

Normal Person: That “little guy” could easily kill you. He’s not even that short

Me: Leave me and my little depressed tiefling alone!

I can’t be the only one who does this

okay, so. I have my main wip, but it’s barely my main any more because of an AU I created of my own work.

I also make headcannons of the characters, forgetting I’m the creator.

Yep. Either this or random scenes for an already existing series I’m writing.

That feeling when you research/write a lot about something that’s only going to be mentioned for a sentence for so

When I say I’m writing what I really mean is I’m thinking about the prologue and second half of the plot in extreme detail before considering the idea of what happens in the beginning, coincidentally making it so I get nothing done.

Why…

I can imagine what I want to write and how I want it to go, but words simply cannot be manifested onto the page.

so I’m left with the dreaded blinking cursor. A line that stares at me without mercy, mocking me, taunting me, temping me to write when it knows I can’t.

“Start writing”

Hah, no.

“Why not?”

I will, absolutely will against my will, revise and edit as I write, so I write the total of multiple chapters but it ends up being only one and half chapters. I fucking hate it

If you like D&D, but only want to listen to it (podcast), and want to support small creators, I’d recommend listening to Death By Dice on Spotify or Apple Podcasts (or other places).

It’s a podcast run by a group of teenage friends retelling their campaign adventures in less than thirty minutes an episode while learning about the player, their character, and the world the characters live in.

There are currently seven episodes (one per player). The campaign’s Dungeon Master, Rufus, hosts each episode with a different player, where we learn about little about each character, player, and how they deal with what Rufus throws at them during the sessions.

Very entertaining, would recommend listening and rating
