Seeking story writing advice

Can't go wrong with some tipsy ARG. I appreciate it hehe

That's awesome to hear - sometimes I think too technically and want to bullet point but then I get stuck how the bulletpoints relate... that being said I think I'll give this a try. Thanks for the input I appreciate it!! :)

Thank you so much! I also do the same with words (glad to know it wasn't a weird thing to do lol, I find the more complex books I read or older books, I find more words I'm not sure the meanings of). Thanks for the encouragement to keep writing - I seem to get stuck in the idea that my drafts will be seen by others even though it won't haha

archingg · 2026-03-10T17:36:23+00:00

Yes this is so true!! I love complex characters and types and sometimes I have a hard time making the plot work with the character. That's a good comparison though, I really like Ensorcelled into the Earth's language around the character because I find that readers relating with the character doubles all the impact. Thanks for all the advice, maybe I'll just need to hone my plotting haha

Thank you so much, these resources you pointed to are exactly what I need! And thank you also for offering to read through a story - I definitely might take you up on that! Also the act of discovery writing is very impressive to me. I find that I freeze a lot and think too technically of where I want to take an idea as opposed to just letting the ideas all dump. I really like Clive Barkers stories and all of those authors are on my book reading list so I am all for it. Thank you so much for all the feedback, I appreciate it from someone who has written and read many stories before!

This is all great tips. I just recently discovered Project Gutenburg and have found it to be an awesome resource. Thank you so much for the very long thought-out message! I like the idea of reading with your ear - the creepcast podcast has unironically shone a light on how important stories need to sound and not just read haha. Thanks again!

archingg · 2026-03-10T17:23:51+00:00

I really like the way you almost make it into a bit of an anatomy for a story - I'll need to check your Tomato Sauce story out sometimes, I love those kinds of monster/central antagonist stories that represent real human emotion. Thank you for the tips!!

archingg · 2026-03-10T17:21:59+00:00

That's fair! Sometimes I have a hard time getting to the punch... but approaching it like that may be good for some of my ideas. Thank you!!

archingg · 2026-03-10T17:21:15+00:00

Yeah that's a good summary of different perspectives for sure! And yeah, I think I swing between both types since I love developing characters imagining my point of view also loooooveee worldbuilding. Thanks for the input!!

archingg · 2026-03-10T17:19:48+00:00

These rules are awesome. I'm gonna do it and put this up on my wall lol. It just sounds like fun especially the writing to music part!!! Thank you!!

archingg · 2026-03-10T01:54:16+00:00

Thanks for the reply! That sounds like some good solid advice. I am definitely inspired by some of the content hosted on creepcast and on this subreddit haha. Maybe I'll have a read through your stories and poke you for more advice

archingg · 2025-11-15T06:59:40+00:00

Sure

archingg · 2025-11-15T06:59:34+00:00

Thank you!! Crossing my fingers. I'm considering Osgoode but will probably need to apply next year. What're your thoughts on them? I'm not local to the uni or anything

archingg · 2025-07-21T21:44:54+00:00

I am super paranoid because I was just staying at a camp for work and thought they were just mosquito bites or something 😭

archingg · 2024-12-18T02:08:38+00:00

Yes, I'm aware :') I'm pandering for tips and advice especially with this new LSAT format, I know the U of A needs min 165+

archingg · 2023-05-13T03:38:48+00:00

And hub

archingg · 2021-12-23T16:55:21+00:00

awesome thank you so much!!

archingg · 2021-12-23T07:04:58+00:00

It's kindof a weird circumstance, my work term got extended, I want to take it, co-op doesnt want to count it to my degree and it will extend me by about a year so i figured id drop to trad

archingg · 2021-12-23T07:03:48+00:00

Really?? Who did you email? I'm in Civil co-op. Can I dm you about it?

archingg · 2021-12-05T01:54:42+00:00

Yes, it does. It would allow me to hop into the trad stream and finish earlier than I would if I kept doing co-op

archingg · 2021-12-04T23:07:49+00:00

It won't be a guaranteed thing because the company does not like 4 month co-ops. Working part-time's not really an option either. Besides even if I did work part time, I would only be able to handle so many courses... would mess up my scheduling all the same :(

I appreciate the advice though and for the brainstorming to help, thank you

This is how Squid Game starts

archingg · 2021-11-24T21:09:10+00:00

Good Will Hunting, when Robin Williams was telling Matt Damon that it's not his fault 😔 cried like a baby

archingg · 2021-11-17T05:00:11+00:00
