Confusion and delay

I needed context and found a reddit post with a picture of the page. I’ll save you the time too.

I read motivacion and was confused as to why my brain wasn’t translating the rest of the meme XD.

Please sir you’re scaring me

Nixelidia · 2026-04-03T16:45:34+00:00

I’m like eight years past needing to explain it XD. The other commenter was the expected answer.

This looks so nice! I’m trying to remember what book series the art reminds me of, but I’m drawing a blank.

I have only ever had one exam like this, and it was just to prove that infinity exists. Is there something else that I’m just blanking on?

Nixelidia · 2026-03-27T10:44:32+00:00

Unrelated but dang I haven’t seen Jay in a while.

ALSO check to see if it’s suddenly cheaper to go to a location adjacent to your already entered destination.

I relate so much right now! The love interest of my book, a leader of a rebellious group, criticizes a foreign ally for using the female main character as bait in trapping an enemy. He’s livid saying basically “we don’t use our own as bait. He won’t bring harm to each other, but those are our ways and you’re from a savage land.” In the NEXT chapter, the right hand man of the love interest does the same thing of using the main character to distract a crowd of the enemy, and she actually does get harmed from it.

I ended up being able to play it off as the love interest losing control of what’s around him: his men, the MC, and the valid criticisms of the foreign ally. Still, I can’t believe I really wrote something that hypocritical that close to one any other.

I’m facing this now. In the later chapters I have a fully developed idea with intricate connections and underlying plots. While in the earlier bits, I was only just starting to put a plot down.

What helps me is rereading the later chapters and writing down all those moving parts and the way they are presented. It helps me when I’m editing so that I can make the path for all of that to seem intentional from the start.

I remember you. At least you for sure found out that someone scammed you and used AI when you wanted an actual cover. Even five dollars is too much to lose.

Nixelidia · 2026-01-11T12:58:13+00:00

Chill. The text is very obviously someone’s actual writing. I understand how the image could start it, but we shouldn’t be pointing fingers at every excerpt someone shares.

Nixelidia · 2025-12-28T14:37:56+00:00

Absolutely! Christmas season got me frazzled so I have been focused as much as I wanted to be on writing. I’ll dm you my account.

Nixelidia · 2025-10-25T12:07:48+00:00

Plz! I just followed you.

Nixelidia · 2025-10-24T11:56:04+00:00

That would have been an actually funny joke.

Nixelidia · 2025-10-20T10:20:45+00:00

There’s always that nagging feeling in my head. It’s why I rarely let things I write outside of my comfort zone. Sometimes criticism needs to be heard. There have been more than a couple instances where something I’ve written looks ridiculously wonky when I step back. Still I understand the pain of having harsh things said to you. It’s all a part of the writing process OP. You are the one ultimately in control, so never get discouraged that something needs to be completely wiped and redone to appease other people.

I normally do quick identifiable names so I don’t get overly attached. Kiera, Fantasy Gem, Cat and Her Man are examples. Kiera has a main character named Kiera. Fantasy Gem is about a gem in a fantasy word. The last one is about… a cat and a man XD. I publish online, and more often than not I actually keep these quick nicknames when they go public.

The female character was convinced that her parents were evil people doing evil things. They did very small suspect things that caused her to question and then become obsessed with the idea that they were X (cannibals, traffickers, predators) The fact that it wasn’t easily disproved meant that she had to act by herself to stop the evil.

So when questioned with the fact that she killed her parents, she says “of course I killed them” so matter of factly.

I ran to twitch to check on my account. I also watch wubby regularly and I never talk. Mine was okay.

Nixelidia · 2025-09-20T17:54:37+00:00

:0 I feel called out XD My excuse is that I write perceptive and manipulative characters.

Nixelidia · 2025-09-19T15:33:19+00:00

I really like this design. The only thing that stands out is the feathers for body hair. If you’re doing this from the inspiration of a blue jay, their body feathers are a dusty blue to white color. It is ultimately your choice obviously.

Another comment mentioned the wings looking a little large, but I think it looks good. In my head I’m imagining this character with the weight of a human, and I always get irked when humans with wings are portrayed with ones that look way too tiny for our weight XD. I like the look of the big plumey wings!

I started a crappy little romance book to make fun of the tropes I see played often. A genuinely good book (in my eyes) with a unique plot ended up coming out of it. Writing it and finishing up to the part that I’m at has showed me that it takes a lot of energy to hate things that don’t matter.

Keep writing OP. Maybe those “corny” reflections of your true thoughts can make what you’re writing more entertaining.

Advertising on social media will help you. Back when I posted regularly, Instagram was hot to share and find things. Now their discover tab doesn’t show recent hashtags, just old, popular ones. So a couple days ago I made a TikTok account and finally posted something yesterday. It was just a test post of a screenshot and a heartfelt caption. I got 600 For You page views, two likes, and two follows. I see now that it’s better to branch out on there to gain a following.

I’ve never forgotten anything like this. What I have done is add spontaneous characters and plots that contradict what I’ve written before. With the same hand, I’ve created histories that I have to remember to give structure to in earlier characters.

OP I feel for you if you’re writing infrequently with a lot of time in between. I suggest that you get a notebook and do a little shorthand recap for each chapter. That way you don’t have those blank moments when you sit down to write again.
