I really really need to stick with my novel I'm working on, and not quit when I've had writer's block for 500 years xD

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been active in the past month. Christmas and stuff! ;v; I'd love some critique on a short little story I just finished though cx click here if interested. C:

What are your writing goals for 2018? Write more! xD I really want to write more. I keep doing one or two stories, stopping, doing one story, stopping again, etc etc! I need to stop that and write consistently so I can actually get better T-T I also want to be more active in the writing community in general, including reading more of others stories ! .. I'm also contemplating doing a sequel to ♛P⚔S☀G .. haven't written anything down yet though ;3; derp derp

When writing a book do you skip around or do you know exactly whats going to happen in the book? Mmmmmm when I wrote my story, that is technically the size of a novel,,, I literally didn't know how it would end. Yeah. I'm not the best with advice XD

Have you ever, while outlining chapters, skipped one because you didn't know how to progress the plot to the next chapter? At least 30% of my chapters I'd say .. when I ended them, I didn't know what to do next. Definitely not doing that again.

I'm planning to write a second book. I'd like to focus on the nine siblings I've finally started to develop.
Hopefully I can come up with a good rough draft by the end of 2018 c:

I have been away for a while, and I'm back for the new year! Which is in a couple of hours for me c:

What are your writing goals for 2018?
Work on my main project, a group of stories I'm calling "Others" for now, because I don't have a better name. This includes my Nano book, which I wrote a few chapters of before encountering an annoying problem. There's a chapter I have to write, and I really don't want to. It's important, but hard to make interesting and realistic. I have no idea what to do so I'm pretending it just doesn't exist and moving on to more things.

I have a question for everyone too:

Code: Select all
[b]Have you ever had an agender character? If so, how did you use pronouns for them? If not, how do you think you'd use pronouns?[/b]

I'm curious because the main character of the story I'm writing is agender, and I want to use they/them pronouns. Despite the fact that probably nobody will ever read this, I'm worried it will be confusing to use plural pronouns for one person. So how did you do it, other writers? First person perspective? Only ever calling them by name?

I have a nonbinary character, but not one that's agender. they/them as a singular pronoun is okay and it's not confusing for anyone so long as you make it clear that you are speaking about that person if you're using third person narrative. Here's an excerpt from something I'm currently writing with my NB character.

    “Naevys, I hate you with all my heart.”

    “You can’t hate Naevys… He saved your life in battle…” Andromeda finally butted into the conversation. Though they were rather quiet per usual, there was a confident air in their voice. Perhaps they were the one who changed the most after the deaths of the king and queen. They were never the one to express their thoughts aloud, after all.

    “We’ve all saved one another at some point,” Ryker noted. “I just wish we could have saved more people. Some of the villagers are rioting against us… They wanna know why we didn’t save their children or… Mothers… Or… Fathers…”

That's just how I do it for they/them singular.

Have you ever had an agender character? If so, how did you use pronouns for them? If not, how do you think you'd use pronouns? Personally, I haven't written an agender character. But if I were to do so, I might just use their name a lot so it's not confusing, or first person like you said. Or even just making it clear that they have no gender so it's not confusing when you call them they/them instead of the usual c:

I've never had a specifically agender character, but I've had a lot of nonbinary characters. I just use they/them pronouns, and if there's a bit where it gets confusing, use their name. If they/them pronouns get too confusing, you can also use a different neutral pronoun set, like xe/xer or ne/nem or something.

I personally haven't. But, I actually just looked it up for this post. I'd probably use they/them or try to think of something (Like Xe, Xim, Xer) for them to use. Using first person sounds like a great idea as well, and a lot easier to understand and write from a reader and writers point of view.

ze, sie, hir, co, and ey (Ive never heard of Sie, hir, co and ey before. but then again the first page that told me this was Wikipedia. So who knows how actually accurate this is.)
