❛ the lazy writers ❜ V2

Character dialogue or details about the surroundings?
Dialogue all the way. Dialogue is great. I love dialogue.

What is the most important part of developing a world?
I'd say making it unique. Plenty of fictional worlds are pretty close to the same thing, and if you want people to notice your world, it needs to be different. Also, details. Details details details. The more details, the more real a world feels.

What's your favorite part about writing?
The beginning of a new story, when it's all new ideas that could lead anywhere and you're constantly thinking of new places to go with it. I wonder if this could possibly be related to the fact that I have never finished a long story in my life.

Do you carefully plan out your story or make it up as it goes along?
Both. Generally I plan out a few moments and let the story get to them however it wants. Sometimes I'll do a more detailed outline, but that usually means I get bored of the story faster, and sometimes I don't plan at all, which is great fun until I suddenly haven't the slightest clue where to go next and completely write myself into a hole.

What is your favorite way to get ideas for writing?
Reading. Also, monotonous chores make good for thinking time.

Reading all your answers about world building has been really useful since I am in the process of developing a world for Nano. If I were to make a google doc with all my notes and stuff, would anyone be interested in reading it and giving me tips?

I made a google doc for my world building! here. It is very rough, so please bare with me. XD please feel free to comment ideas, tips or pointing out stuff (either stuff I need to change or stuff you like ^-^)

@Ryan; that looks like an awesome thread! I may end up joining, but I don't often write poems....

Hm, speaking of other writing threads, what if I made a Fanfiction thread? No one seems to talk about that much.

That could be cool! I think there are a few people on here who do fanfictions, and fanfictions are fantastic ^-^

Make one! Please!
Also, it'd be great because we can all do fanfic recs.
Lord knows we need some of those.

/ popping in to say that a fanfic thread would be awesome. I am writing a fanfic for NaNo, so that would be fun to discuss it. ^^
