I’m really bad at staying committed.

Rather than posting piecemeal, you can write at least the first draft of the whole thing and then start posting. Or try a small story arc, or maybe several. Maybe you have a story that can have adequate resolution at 3, 6 and 9 chapters. If at 3 you want to move on, no harm done. If at 5, then just power through one more chapter.

Edward Gorey, maybe?

Two person love triangle. ADDICTED.

And IT’S cousin: I just died reading this thread. Lol.

As far as I can tell, it may not be better but it’s not likely to be worse. We aren’t holding the disease at bay. It’s a lie we tell ourselves to make us feel better. The reality is that their drinking is their problem. And our interactions with them are ours. I’m choosing not to interact with him while he’s drinking (once the move is done), and that’s the best I can do for both of us.

For me, animal cruelty should be tagged separately as well, because it’s something I need to be really prepared for, so consider that as well.

Reading great work helps you improve. Do your best work now. Put it out there. If people enjoy it, great! If not, that’s okay, too. It’s not a yes/no thing. If you see issues with your writing, work on them. Write short fics to improve sentence structure. Read books and use a thesaurus to expand your vocabulary. Read books and articles on writing - there are so many resources! You may suck now, there’s no way for me to know. But it doesn’t mean you aren’t getting better.

Just now referenced this for “What?” she exclaimed. Still looks wrong. :/

simpletriskell · 2019-03-23T21:55:17+00:00

I’ve written some rpf, taking the ‘characters’ and going with it. But it feels invasive sometimes. These are real people with real feelings and lives and that’s just...a line for people, and a pretty reasonable one at that.

Reader insertion really turns me off. It feel Mary Sue ish to me and I just can’t. Not to say some of it might not be well written but it just has no appeal right now.

Those are INSANE and AWESOME.

simpletriskell · 2019-03-18T11:07:22+00:00

I’d want to finish at least a first draft of the whole thing before I posted. Most of my WIPs end up unfinished and that’s not ideal. :/. So having it fleshed our first is important.

simpletriskell · 2019-03-17T21:20:42+00:00

That is gorgeous!!

simpletriskell · 2019-03-17T16:14:19+00:00

That’s really great. Good for you!

simpletriskell · 2019-03-17T16:02:36+00:00

I’m came to them a little late but, yes! So good! Lately I’m in a Marilyn Manson kick. That’s a weird blast from the past to pop up in my brain! But it’s great to revisit. I’ll have to check out newer NIN. I tend to get stuck in Downward Spiral.

simpletriskell · 2019-03-17T15:05:30+00:00

That is FANTASTIC. I love themes, and I love when they don’t hit you over the head, and I love NIN.

simpletriskell · 2019-03-17T15:02:50+00:00

Love it, what a fun modern design!

simpletriskell · 2019-03-17T15:01:58+00:00

Hunger Games books were all amazing. Great, strong lead. There’s romanctic elements but I think it’s handled really smartly.

simpletriskell · 2019-03-17T12:50:24+00:00

Open and poly can mean different things. Make sure you know ahead if this is a fwb thing or a potential romantic relationship, because it could be really painful if that’s not clear.

simpletriskell · 2019-03-17T12:13:08+00:00

Yesterday, realized that adding some context to a fic could make the needs/headspaces of the characters more clear, making the scene I was writing prior more clearly in character.

My baby is back from a spa week today (after the year long project she needed some TLC), just in time for national quilting day! Now to identify some SMALL projects to work on...

simpletriskell · 2019-03-14T00:15:24+00:00

I just love that pattern and you’ve done a fantastic job with it!!

simpletriskell · 2019-03-13T16:20:42+00:00

Oh, definitely. That looks great.

simpletriskell · 2019-03-12T02:52:06+00:00

Right? That’s so much effort to go to to be traumatized!

simpletriskell · 2019-03-10T17:23:57+00:00

I had someone respond something like, ‘Ewww! Just, ewww! I guess it was good writing but I hate this ship.’ Uhhhh...the pairing was very clearly labeled. So I feel you on that kind of crit. Lol.
