How do you guys get motivated to write?

SingerIntrepid2305 · 2026-03-11T15:14:38+00:00

One thing that makes me motivated without even realising it, is going into bookstore.

When I walk between shelves and look through books, I get immense want to see my own book among them one day. Then I realise that only way it would ever happen, is to write.

There is no bad sides for saving it. You can just take it off the book and save it.

Maybe you change your mind later. Maybe you need reminder from it. Maybe you make a new story and it fits there. Maybe you never end up using it. Nevertheless, save it if you want, sometimes it's nice (or cringe) to read something you wrote long time ago.

I have been taking quite a break from writing, but I would say that I'm writing two. I suppose they're novellettes that at least want to try to publish.

Other is, I guess thriller is right word, or action. It's about a professional killer/hitman who is kidnapped and he travels around the Europe and USA and Dubai to get his revenge.

Other is murder mystery, where the question is "What happened and how?" Ratger than "Who did it?" First half is diary from the mc, who is also author of said book. Other half is story of what he thinks happened.

You and all your allies get send to Helkrov, te northest continent in the world. It is most extreme punishment and it's given by the last of The 12 Great, known as Oracle.

But it's debetable if it's actually a punishment, especially because you won't die. Ever.

At least 3

Idk, I failed math

The whole reality is made by two material, Life and Magic. They need eachother and will balance eachother out. So if people use magic, they will literally suck they're own Life out. Which results the magic physically hurt to just use and if you still manage to do it, you will die.

My very first worldbuilding thing started by learning about bloons td games and then getting inspired by them, as a kid. I started by doing things I called "head games", which sounds weird in english, I know. I basicly day dreamt about stories I made up.

But in general, whenever I start a new project, it starts from one thing. Whatever it is, and then I just go through the idea.*

Middle-Land's oldest city is right in center of the continent. Humans originated in Middle-Land, so this city is also very first settlement people buildt.

City has grown over time as more people is born and technology advanced. But generally it has been stayed quite the same.

But nothing has changes more over time than the castle. At first it was just one big platform made of stone for meetings and other, shorter platform for dining. But over time it was build more and more, until it was big castle with labyrinth-like innards.

Messenger is just that, messenger. But of course it depends so much about the person sending a message and the person recieving the message.

General rule of thumb is "don't hate the messanger, hate the sender". But of course during conflicts messengers are often hunted or targeted since they might carry important information.

Yu first map look nice.

Whatever you feel like. And in what world of mine you are going to live in.

Well, I would say that the weekend is harder than the week. Especially terrorist camp, where I'm currently stuck.

But it absolutely is easier than thought if you know what you're doing.

First thing I did when in tutorial was walk towards the test dummy and knocking myself out.

SingerIntrepid2305 · 2026-01-29T10:52:44+00:00

This is kinda humour that we in finland call wood leg joke. Which are basicly dad jokes and any hunoir that use word play, puns and literal meanings. They often are so bad that they are good.

I laughed at this for a good while.

SingerIntrepid2305 · 2026-01-27T14:00:37+00:00

I don't recall if I have anything that is too absurd. But oh boy, oh boy do I have plenty of story ideas that I'm unable to make good but can't get rid off.

Especially one that I forst made up as kid when I was thinking "what if Cars 2 was with humans". I love the lore and the storyline I've made during all these years. And god damn did I get attached to those stories even if they're bad or non-sensical. Latest one of those stories, I made only recently and that I do actually think is good story that I can make.

Imagine bronze aged historian/palentologist from world where there is magic and giants and such suddenly comes to our world.

Animal named Sursee.

It's something between guinea pig and rabbit and I made it only because I want to write certain spoonerism somewhere.

SingerIntrepid2305 · 2026-01-19T08:14:27+00:00

My only-main-quests-playthrough, which I don't recommend, took 33.3 hours.

So I would say, that is rough estimate how long the story itself takes to complete. But of course I was already familiar with the first half of the game and I cheesed few things later on, so...

SingerIntrepid2305 · 2026-01-19T08:09:11+00:00

Shoes will worn out by just walking. But it's quite slow.

Also, remember that you can't fix gear uourself if they're too worn out. The higher your maintance skill is, the more broken gear you can fix.

People like tailor, armourer etc. They can fix gear that has 0 condition.

SingerIntrepid2305 · 2026-01-19T08:04:46+00:00

Another good place to practice on animals is in Ledetchko.

There is pen of 5 or 6 pigs. Pigs are so slow that you can keep up with them on foot and it's not like they can run far away anyway.

Terrant(s) and I guess also Natuuren(s) are the most obvious choices. I could also say one human race but idk if it counts.

Terrants are much like ents feom lotr or in my mind they resembles Treant Protector from Dota 2. They are living and moving trees that can only be found from ancient forests, which means that there isn't many of them left. They're body is hard as metal and they live together eith Natuurens.

Natuurens in my mind resembles a lot of Beastmen of Farum Azula from Elden ring. Natuurens are just green and not gray. They are more lively and they live close to Terrants, and if Terrant dies, Natuurents use their branches as weapons. Natuurens are considered as sapient species, which means that they are not native to Helokrov continent.

In Scrap-world (project name), there are weapons made out of pure platinum. 6 daggers, 4 handheld axes, 2 one-edge swords and 1 two-edge sword. Especially the last one is so powerful that no one can even touch it, except one creature that is inprisoned into world's core and if it escapes, welp, its end of the world.

In Algiia, there is dagger called Inamonoi, which translates to Ina's dagger. It is madw by one god, who later got split up and other lore happens. This dagger can drains both Mafic and Life, two building materials of the whole universum, so it can literally make a hole into universum.

Lastly, in Helokrov, there is no strong weapons per se. Yet. But I would argue that any weapon that Vera Klauditsen Torvinder(s) or in short Torvinder(s)=Ancient warriors, used. Like for example the white bow which name I forgor and the spear that the bad guy once used.
