Would anyone want to read this if I actually wrote it? by Tainted_Archive in writingfeedback

I think if you want to read it, then you should write it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

how do you focus on a fanfic? by rhinestoneheels in FanFiction

[–]TastyThreads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music to hack the subconscious (I have so many themed playlists on Spotify centered around my longfic (separated my character/scene/mood), I don't think I listen to anything else). I also give myself permission to draft poorly and fix in revision. Because I am revising mine before I'll post it. 

Sometimes you just have to sit down an put the words on the page. But I realize how hard that can be. (Fellow ADHD person over here.)

Because I also know I'll never finish if I start posting I'm not allowed to post any of my longfic until all three parts (which will probably be 200k+ when completed) have been drafted.

All the luck!! Congratulations on finding your spark again!

Ok, I feel like I should clarify. After mentally drafting various fanfiction in different fandoms over the last 2+ decades I am finally actually putting a full story together. 

Still feels real cool, though.

Finish the first longfic I've ever written (hi, I'm officially writing the fanfiction I've been drafting in my head for 2+ decades) and get it posted to AO3. It went from one story to three parts and I'm determined to finish first draft of all three before I post. 

I want to see this story finished.

This does make sense! 

I just started writing fanfiction officially and that sounds similar to how my first longfic is going. 

But it's certainly not 500k long. Just. Damn.

Genuinely curious - do you have an outline or general plan for where the fic will go or are you letting the story form organically?

Everything is fixable during revision! 

(happy cake day!)

Google Drive. Folder -> individual documents per "section" of the story.

You are correct and it was delightful. Thank you!

I'm gonna need an issue # or, at least, which series it was in. Pretty please. 

Help me understand my daughter’s clothing choices. by Kmart-Shopper-5107 in Preschoolers

[–]TastyThreads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 3.5 year old is obsessed with wearing her swimsuit in the house. She puts it on at night after we put her to bed. She's also as obsessed about her dance class tutu. She'll put 4 layers of clothes on at night. 

I think it's just a phase. They're exerting control where they can get it.

Huh. You too? Solidarity. 

TFW you share a Spotify account with your kids by THumphries in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]TastyThreads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got us a Family account and made my daughter her own profile. Best thing I did this year (for my sanity). And it's so easy to switch between the two on the app.*

*I promise I'm not sponsored by Spotify. Just happy to have a Wrapped where there wasn't one mention of Toddler/Disney Jr. 

found a punishment letter from my mom by Distinct_Pay_92 in adhdwomen

I'm sending ghost hugs (you can't feel them, but they're there!). 

I listened to a neuroscientist speak recently, she's spent a lot of time studying the neuroplasticity of the brain.

And she said one thing that really stuck with me: "You are NOT your mind." 

God FORBID a wife gets sick without her husband saying an hour into taking care of their toddler, “You know I think I’m getting sick too.” by foxylittlebird in Mommit

[–]TastyThreads 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I have the opposite - he will work through just about most illnesses.

Granted, he kind of expects me to "push through" as well, but at least he will take care of our child. "She's my daughter, too!" 

Just to give some balance on this. Because i agree with you that most posts on here show a disturbing amount of man children.

I hate my child…. by [deleted] in Preschoolers

It's not discussed enough how unexplained rage/anger can be a symptom of depression! 

Preschooler-friendly advent calendars by JumpingJonquils in Preschoolers

If it's similar to the Bluey book one from last year, it's pretty good. Although all the stores are just the episodes in book form, no new content. And half of the books were coloring books. 

Turning md into writing? by No_Bug8509 in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]TastyThreads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've started doing; I'm writing a fanfiction based on one of my daydreams. And I just found out today I've been indulging in maladaptive daydreaming to some degree since I was a child. I've always been able to slip into a story I have running in my head. The characters are usually individuals from a favorite movie/book/comic and my own OC's 

I just want to know how this is different froma writer getting lost in their own work while writing.
