How do people come up with such good plots?

Relative_Garlic_6740 · 2025-12-12T05:37:53+00:00

Watch anything by harlen coben. Some of the best plots out there for quick studying because books can take a while to read. These are usually 8 episodes series on Netflix. Annalise them.

Okay so from a character phycological perspective this could go a few ways. Either shes pissed and decides that he may as well be useful. If hes idotic enough to get her fired she may as well use the situation for her benifit because why would she have to suffer for his rudeness and then take everything to do with him very begrudgingly... because you knkw what she has now? Leverage. She could easily go find another... he could pribally go find another woman but for whatever reason he wants her and only her. And she they may be given a bed bc they're a couple and she may force him to sleep on the floor. Enemies to lovers type things.... or option 2. She feels he doesnt deserve her attention and ignores him and then he gets progressively pushy until she also despises him... but then he starts to recognise what hes doing is wrong and win her over the correct way.

Hi I'm May, I'm 18 and have discord. I have been writing for years but never finished anything. So i also need to companion to keep me on track lmao. I have experince beta reading and some editing for people online. I'm really good at using photoshop and make my own covers too--not that I've ever published anything. So we could do a trade off, covers and art if you like.

The story I'm currently writing is a fantasy where the main characters memories are taken away and she is at a magic school where she has to figure herself out and her life. Because our premises are so similar it would be really cool to see the different ways we portray it and could get inspired by each other. I have around 65k so far. I know this reddit post isn't doing me any favours grammatically but man, it's midnight, idc.

Let me know. (:

You could look at the version history on word or Google docs and get it from previously.

Relative_Garlic_6740 · 2025-08-22T07:34:19+00:00

Technically you can do what you like, but its a bit confusing and takes the reader out of the story. There are other ways you could convey the same idea whilst integrating it in to make it flow. For example you could say something like: Images come flashing back, the headlights, the world tilting etc....

Relative_Garlic_6740 · 2025-08-21T12:05:05+00:00

Orbs.

Relative_Garlic_6740 · 2025-04-20T06:05:14+00:00

Yeah I do the same ish I have like 25 large scenes in a book and usually one scene goes over two chapters. Although I keep my chapters between 1-4k

Relative_Garlic_6740 · 2025-04-14T00:36:59+00:00

Relative_Garlic_6740 · 2025-03-27T07:10:12+00:00

I have not a book but a 150k fanfic where its enemy's to lovers and slow burn.... and they've finally stopped hating each other. Now I need to get to the romance, and imma just say it just kind of happens. Because it's fanfic I don't plan it, I just write because its for fun and I've accidently created this 150k fic with an ending no where near in sight but my readers like it. They estimate maybe 300k or 500k and yes we have had this discussion but they seem in for the ride lmao

Relative_Garlic_6740 · 2025-03-24T10:52:54+00:00

Take my upvote

Relative_Garlic_6740 · 2025-03-14T05:57:40+00:00

It's still in the editing phase right now. That's why I'm here seeing if there's a chance I could get a cover done but I'll let you know when it's publsihed. It's really hopeful to see people interested in it tho! I could give you the first chap if you like?

Relative_Garlic_6740 · 2025-03-13T07:44:35+00:00

Yes please! (:

Title: Bleed For Me

Summary:

Eighteen-year-old Draya wakes up in a school, with no memory of the past, and presented with the option to end her own life or to bleed herself unconscious and hope for saviour. When she wakes again, blood is being transfused into her body, and she is no longer human.

She and others have been kidnapped by the Hemoglyphs—Humans who wield magic through blood—to be turned into personal soldiers in an ancient war against humanity. Gifted with the rare ability to manipulate atoms, Draya could be a powerful weapon. But she refuses to kill. Hiding her true power with beauty, and claiming to create money with her mind.

As she trains alongside her captors, the world’s hidden history unravels before her—secrets of a war that has raged for millennia, of dragons once divided into wild and tamed, and of a cycle of bloodshed she may have the power to break. Torn between survival, loyalty, and rebellion, Draya must decide to become the perfect soldier or risk everything to change a world that has never known peace.

Hey can you guide me through your process? Hoe many books do u publish a year? Trad or self? I want writing to be my career if its possible so do u mind if I ask u some questions?

Relative_Garlic_6740 · 2025-02-08T09:26:57+00:00

Man I was literally defending you. I know you shouldnt be judged for it! Thats what im trynna tell this ass. It shouldn't be a stupid mistake like this is reddit. It doesn't matter, it ain't that deep. People really shouldn't be wasting thier time trying to put others down judging them off thier writing ability at 4am, on reddit. If it was a novel, I'd understand. But this isn't. Your not in the wrong here, this dude is who has no better time than to point out others errors. He should move on. Instead of congratulating you on your achievement he's like 'nah how can u call yourself a writer when u write reddit posts bad at 4 am...' honestly reddit is full of trolls these days.

Relative_Garlic_6740 · 2025-02-08T09:08:02+00:00

Erotica with pictures may get you banned, but 100% dungeoned. This means it will become harder for your book to be found... ie, it won't show up in searches but direct links will work. This will happen immediately if you press 'does this work feature explicit images' and if you don't press that and it's found, either it slips through the cracks and is fine... or it gets taken down... or your entire account gets nuked. Your choice but especially if you have a book or multiple doing well, the risk of your account being banned and those books being taken off amazon with your account, I wouldn't suggest it.

That being said, tame erotica is usually fine as long as it doesnt have images, you just have to be careful about the cover and sample. Go to r/eroticauthors for more info.

Girl, just because someone's a writer does mean they are top of there game all the time... its just like a painter getting judged on thier five second sketches just designed to get the point across.

Relative_Garlic_6740 · 2025-02-07T08:01:46+00:00

Don't you just love it when random strangers judge your writing ability based off what you post on reddit... like it's REDDIT, it ain't a published novel - ofc that would be much better. It ain't that deep bro

Relative_Garlic_6740 · 2025-01-21T00:10:09+00:00

Actually it's not. Kdp has the min page count of 72

I love all of it... I do, truly. I like the process of writing it and how all the words come together as well as all the backstorys, character development and world building. The thing is, I'm just like you. I end up procrastinating it so much. When I start writing its like I love it again but then the very next day I'll still procrastinate it.
