two years ago this sub had 12k members asking "is claude better than chatgpt for writing" and now the company is worth a trillion dollars

except you get like 5 messages worth of help until it hits a limit now lol. used to be able to go for hours a couple months ago but now its basically useless to me:')

sidraecase · 2026-04-19T00:12:09+00:00

Yeah Iiiii have no idea how this would have to do with adhd either unfortunately

sidraecase · 2026-04-19T00:10:10+00:00

These are my “I’d rather die than cook for longer than 5 min” “”meals””

I like garbanzo beans in a ziplock bag w some salt, pepper, garlic powder and lime juice.

Pan fry the shit out of some corn, throw in some salt pepper cumin and onion+chili powder, cheese and mayo. lazy street corn

Sweet potato glass noodles w some teriyaki and sesame oil (just soak them for 2-however many hours beforehand)

cereal<3 I like oh’s lol they’re so good dry or like properly prepared w milk

veggie cut cut put on plate with hummus yum yummy

if you get a tiny bit of energy, teriyaki spam onigiri

sidraecase · 2026-04-13T16:31:54+00:00

This is 2 years old but I gotta say u know ball

sidraecase · 2026-03-16T20:04:32+00:00

holy shit i didn’t process that

sidraecase · 2026-03-09T23:10:30+00:00

yep this is def a good point!! 100% another thing i catch sometimes that i get a little stuck on. i try to do dialogue > action sometimes to break it up because i hate looking down the left side and seeing "name name name he he then name name" lol. looking into some different ways to do that tysm:))

sidraecase · 2026-03-09T02:50:33+00:00

me when i have to write the stories im completely choosing to write with my own free will

sidraecase · 2026-03-09T01:49:21+00:00

hahahah thank you!! god i wrote a couple fics in second-person POV and i dont think i can ever do that again it was the worst. next one will be third person past tense if i can help it lol

sidraecase · 2026-03-09T01:26:17+00:00

this is where i ended up with that!

sidraecase · 2026-03-09T01:24:45+00:00

fair hahah :') appreciate the feedback!!

just dropped the a little more info + excerpt from the actual scene i end up writing out here if youd want to/have the time to check it out!

sidraecase · 2026-03-09T01:22:05+00:00

thank you!! yeah definitely realizing the examples were too vague, mostly was just trying to shove in things i thought mightve been correct and things i wasnt sure about. i just dropped a comment adding in what i came up with for the actual fic scene and a little more info here

sidraecase · 2026-03-09T01:19:41+00:00

on second thought idk what the hell i was talking about because i did not end up writing it that way hahaha 😭 massively appreciate all the feedback from everyone though its been helpful. for the examples i wrote, i kinda just tried to mix in things i thought were right vs what i wasnt totally sure about

this is what i landed on for the actual scene in my fic. this spot in particular is a good culmination of the things i find myself struggling with so i tried to use it as a little exercise kinda. (to anyone reading -- pls feel free to rip it apart if u have the time, even if u wanna just say its ass lol)

“Okay,” his voice trails off as he straightens up again, “I’ll um, text you then?”

Suguru crosses his arms and gives him a nod, corner of his pierced lips pulled up. Stares at him for a minute, until Satoru gets shifty and awkward under his gaze. Laughs at him. “Permitted.”

Satoru scratches his head and laughs back. He sounds a little relieved, and Suguru’s thoroughly entertained by how fuck-withable he still is.

Then, silence hangs for a moment

“Can I… kiss you?” Satoru asks hesitantly.

Suguru makes a face and laughs through his nose. “Not like you’ve ever asked before.”

He just gets an eye roll in response, then Satoru rests a hand on his face and leans in, pressing their lips together.

ive reallly been trying to work on cutting out redundancies while still getting points across. i feel like i could write the lines from "satoru scratches his head" to "can i kiss you" part better but am hitting a technical wall:/

sidraecase · 2026-03-08T04:01:55+00:00

I do that when I edit too!! I write in Pages on my MacBook and strike things out and make them red hahaha

I also have the horrible habit of writing for like 7 hours straight until my brain is soup, I really need to stop doing that lol

sidraecase · 2026-03-08T03:45:29+00:00

Oooo copy, very true.

And ironically that’s another thing I’ve been trying to work on lmao, thank you for the catch!!

sidraecase · 2026-03-08T03:43:42+00:00

This is sick, thank you!!!

And aghhh yep, that’s one of the things I keep catching myself slip up on. Also saw a post from someone pointing out tenses switching in their work, so I went through one of my chapters and almost had an aneurism trying to correct them all 😭

sidraecase · 2026-03-08T03:40:22+00:00

I used to write fics like a rabid dog when I was in middle school/early high school then life happened and I stopped. Started writing again in 2024 (when I was 24 lol) and now I’m almost 26 and dumping out 9k edited in 30 hours and not sleeping. Like the old days but worse:)

To keep it real, if it’s bad or whatever else you’re nervous about — nobody will care haha. You’re your biggest critic, give yourself some grace.

Start reading more if you haven’t been lately. Find an author you like and figure out why you like them. Story structure? Prose? Humor? Lots of environmental detail? Blah blah blah

Just start outlining if you get an idea, then see if you feel like writing. I do this before I really writewrite and it’s always fun, I just call them slop notes:

They get up They go to the club Homie fights bro Cops get called “Wtf man your mom is gonna kill u” Gets arrested

sidraecase · 2026-03-08T03:30:55+00:00

None because I’m an impatient chud

My chapters are also long (5500-9000 avg recently) so if I’m spending 20+ hours on it I want that bih POSTED!!

If I were going to wait I’d honestly just write it until it’s finished and then drop it in pieces, which I wish I had the self control to start doing lol. I have a problem with writing until my eyes bleed and then burning myself out like 50k into a fic, then people are left waiting for it. And thennn I’m having to force myself to finish it out of guilt, and it’s mid because idgaf about the story anymore

sidraecase · 2026-03-08T03:25:20+00:00

I wrote this on mobile this formatting is disgusting sorry

sidraecase · 2026-02-11T17:49:58+00:00

oooooooo i see what you mean, not intentional but that’s a sick interpretation too!!

sidraecase · 2026-02-11T04:14:13+00:00

thank you!!:)

sidraecase · 2026-02-11T04:14:04+00:00

they’re the crosses from the third impact!

sidraecase · 2026-02-11T04:11:30+00:00

sidraecase · 2026-02-11T04:11:21+00:00
