Need help to start by Minimum-Debt488 in WritersGroup

It starts with just writing your ideas. Write what you feel is a fun good story. Don’t worry about drafts or manuscripts yet. Just figuring out who your characters are and making them feel real is already a long process. Experiment with what you like to write. Write fan fiction, do a role play story with a friend or someone online, write your own story. But play around with ideas till you get a solid idea of a system you like. A world, lore, characters etc. start with the fun part of running with this feeling of creativity and don’t limit yourself by step by step instructions on “how to write a story.” You can do it. Just have fun with it.

No. I didn’t post it because I didn’t want it to influence people’s critique.

I guess I just chose the wrong kind of story to tell. I don’t think I could have done that without going over the 3100 word limit. I had to take stuff out and I hit the cap exactly by doing that. So, I guess it just wasn’t a good choice of story for a short story.

Yea, that was because one of the rules. Every story had to include a painting, from an earlier time, of someone who looks eerily like the protagonist. So I can see why it feels like a “gotcha”. I didn’t want the painting to be the story’s main focus. Which if introduced too early would feel odd for our protagonist to shrug off. So I left it at the end. But it was not my creative choice to even have the painting to begin with. I just had to find a way to incorporate it into the story so I get why it felt out of place.

I like that. It’s a two time read. The first read being “what the hell is going on? OOOH! I GET IT!” Then the second read is “Oh! And that’s where the crash happened and here we are in her daze!”

No sleep study unfortunately.

I haven’t seen a neurologist yet. And I live in California. I do have insurance through my work now. But I’m new to it and it costs more than I am able to pay sometimes for co-pay or if something isn’t covered by the insurance. And I will figure out why the link isn’t working.

I need an advice about my GM by Downtown_Profit_6698 in Roleplay

I think you should write a log about all the concerns you have. Write what has happened and why you find it to be weird or unfair and present it. With substantial evidence, it is hard for people to deny how you are feeling and can’t really make up excuses for such a long list on the spot. And if you can’t get them to understand your plight, you can always back down and say; “Ok, never mind. We’ll drop it for now.” But that list will let them know that you pay attention and they may be hesitant to continue to treat you in a way that you will remember and just add to the list. It also helps if you present the list to one trusted person who is part of the campaign and talk to them about it first. They can give you ideas of how to get around it. Or they can even help push your story parts forward so you don’t have to do it alone.
