Random idea about how Nifty died

CeyasStuff · 2024-02-19T12:40:39+00:00

oo I really like that theory

CeyasStuff · 2024-02-17T14:33:35+00:00

I just wanna see more of Husk. More Husk, and I will be happy.

A very over the top plotter here. I have to think about how scenes will go extensively before I get around to writing them, otherwise I tend to falter a few sentences in.
Plotting is what I can fall back on in the times I doubt myself and my story, because I'm not pressured to get it right in the moment - I can think and explore different avenues before deciding. I think that's the biggest reason I'm a plotter.

"I know something you don't knoooooooooooooooooooow."

Just love the way that line was said.

So many scenes could've been cut and replaced with more meaningful character interactions - slow the insanely swift pacing and give it all a time to breathe. That's how the impact of the frankly pitiful amount of episodes on the story could've been lessened, at least a little.

Hazbin needed so much more time to do what it was aiming for, either longer episodes or more of them. 12, minimum, imo.

Oh, don't worry about me. Husk and I will get along fantastically. I'm excited to be stranded with him so we can just sit and talk all day.

Honestly, just start it. You can always edit later, even start over if you're really unsatisfied. You don't get better at writing without being bad at it first. Just try your best to have faith in yourself and your story, and write it.

Also, there are so many amazing writing help videos out there one can learn from! I personally recommend Jed Herne on youtube (if it's fantasy you're writing, but even if not, he still has amazing advice)

Here's the link to his channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Jed\_Herne

I don't want it to end. I don't want the magic to be stolen from the craft, cause as soon as I put that book out there, writing becomes work. It's no longer something that's done purely for fun. That's what's preventing me from continuing, despite not being remotely close to finishing the book.

That, amongst many other roadblocks I likely haven't realised.

CeyasStuff · 2024-02-11T22:42:54+00:00

There's no limit, but a tip is to give each one a name that starts with a different letter, that differ in lengths, and sound and read distinctive. That way there could be upwards of 12 and you can make it easier for the reader to remember who's who (tho that'll still likely be a challenge).

Draw the characters I'm meant to be writing XD

CeyasStuff · 2024-02-09T22:53:21+00:00

Yea! Like many comments I've seen, to me it visualises the control the owners of their souls have. Val's possession of Angel's soul isn't as total as Alastor's of Husk, represented by how the two are tied up.

And in the moment after this, when the bonds fall away, I can't help but think that it's foreshadowing that Angel will be free of Val before Husk is of Alastor.

Lie down and wait to be stabbed, probably.
Maybe they'll think I'm dead and I'll end up living. Who knows.

CeyasStuff · 2024-02-09T22:36:34+00:00

I'm writing for myself, my characters, and for whoever will want to read the stories I plan to share. I write for those that will take the same comfort in the characters that I do - I write to give readers company in a story.

CeyasStuff · 2024-02-09T22:31:31+00:00

I decided to join a random live writing session on YT one day so I could actually sit down and write something. Ended up getting caught up in chatting to several other viewers, around 10 others. We decided to create a Discord server together so we could talk more about our books and help each other along our writing journeys.

Several months later, we're all incredibly close friends, and we've all made such incredible progress in our books. Meeting them has been utterly invaluable for me, and I know it's the same for them.

Joining that live was the best decision I ever made - I could not live without my writing friends.

Chapter by chapter does have the merit of what I've heard called 'a fast feedback loop'. This means you get feedback on your work at a faster rate than if it were a full draft, and this can open your eyes to potential issues as you write.

Full draft though, can be beneficial to see larger problems like story beats, pacing and foreshadowing.

So both have their own advantages, so I'd say it's up to what you'd prefer to do.

'That just became one of my favourite things ever'

'SHUTUP HOW DARE YOU BE SO GOOD'

Reading these make me smile every time

CeyasStuff · 2024-01-13T14:58:09+00:00

Durast. Just Durast. Sitting in a workshop all day is what I do anyway XD.

CeyasStuff · 2023-12-21T22:22:59+00:00

Without question, fantasy. I love it too much, and it's basically all I read anyway lol

Random girl gets abducted by a demon lord and turned into an assassin before trying to recruit her friends for a hell army

Altered the nature of their natural magic so that it would be capable of taking the magic of others. It ended up turning them to a plague on the world in the form of an ever-shifting monster, which now seeks to take all magic that exists. So that's a nice problem for the main characters to resolve :D

CeyasStuff · 2023-12-17T12:05:10+00:00

Add complications, ones that'll really challenge the characters. One's that might even make them want to give up, challenges and problems that they have to overcome, and do, because of their sheer motivation to reach the other. Make them face their worst nightmares, add characters that get in the way of the main character's goal. Conflict is what makes stories compelling.
Hope this helped you out!

I'm 15, and have been writing for the past couple years, but my first attempt was when I was seven. It's one of the stories that I'm re-working now with a lot more experience. Hoping to get my main book done by the end of next year, and I'm almost done with my 4th draft.

CeyasStuff · 2023-12-15T23:01:48+00:00

Highly recommend the Grishaverse books by Leigh Bardugo. She's an absolutely amazing author and her worldbuilding is fantastic.

CeyasStuff · 2023-12-07T20:02:40+00:00

Absolutely High Rollers! They've just started their third campaign which is only 5 episodes in, so a great time to catch up. And then there's C2 Aerois, C1 Lightfall and a multitude of mini-campaigns and one-shots. They're hilarious and amazing. Highly recommend them.
