❛ the lazy writers ❜

Okay. I think I may have given up on Nano? Possibly, but also very probably. why? Well . . . . . . New storiesgodsdammit. One of them being inspired by fnaf, and then I got a new idea for it because I went to this demonstration thing for an organization called Soldier's Best Friend (which trains service dogs for veterans with PTSD and TBI {Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury}), and I thought one of the characters in it coul have a service dog (for whatever reason). Then this thing popped into my brain; since my main character is mute, and I've kinda sorta given him a blind sister, what if they have another sibling who's deaf? 'Cause then they could all embody "See no Evil, Speak no evil, Hear no Evil," and I actually did a bit of research (I mean, okay, Ima was reading the article out loud to me, but still, I looked it up again later) on them; they're called the three wise monkeys, Mizaru, Kikazaru, and Iwazaru repsectively. Mizaru covers his eyes and sees no evil, he would be the blind sister. Kikazaru covers his ears and hears no evil, he'd be the third sibling, and Iwazaru covers his mouth and speaks no evil, and is the main character (named Wystan which means battle stone in some language. I forget which). There's also a fourth one, sometimes, who does no evil, and I might incorporate that one (Shizaru) into the story. What do you guys think?

That sounds amazing, and I would love to read it! I love the idea and honestly wish I had come up with it first. Not jelly at all

Hey, guys. I iz havin' a problem. I'm trying to research werewolves for a short story I'm doing, and I'm getting some conflicting results. Site A says they're very solitary creatures that are more like wolf-sharks than humans with no human form. Site B says they're only semi organized, but can change how wolfy their appearance is ((Still no absolute human form)). Site C says they can change from human to large large wolves who live in very organized packs. Could somebody please help me with this? I'm confused and no longer know how to write my story ((*frustrated as all get-out*))

To be honest, because werewolves are so popular not only in myth, but also in pop culture, there are a plethora of ideas and origin stories surrounding them. I'd just pick whichever one you'd like to write about.

I DESPERATELY WANT TO READ THIS NOW.

@Randy it's your story, and since werewolves are a fantasy creature, you can change the rules however you please.

@De that sounds great!

So I've given up on NaNo this year. and I'm putting off writing for Flight Rising -_- also, I keep having dreams that I finished wrewiting chapter two. Even I'm getting impatient with myself lol.

Lol I've given up on writing altogether
I spend enough time getting out of bed each day
how the hell do I motivate myself to write if I cant get out of bed in the mornings
or draw, which is something I loved. Idk maybe I'll fall back. We all have our fall outs, right?

@Julie, You can come back! I've done it myself ((Especially since I joined that picture prompt thread Ranger runs)) Take some time off for yourself and enjoy some free time. You'll probably write like mad when you get back in your jam again >^.^<

I—what—did—did I kill you O.O
And yes
Yes.
Yes!
You'll recover, Julie!
I couldn't write /anything/ for ages, but my inspiration/motivation came back when it was ready! I found that taking walks and (you're gonna hate this >XD ) hanging washing really helped

Have you ever read or written a story where the main character was the villain?
Nope, I don't think so, but now I really want to 😁
Also, I actually picked up a few tips from you guys' casual comments... Thanks XD

[BucketORandomness]

@Ranger, no. You did quite the opposite. Your word picture prompts helped me recover from the slump I was in. That's what I meant, sorry if it sounds like you killed me >.<

Hahaha that's alright, I was only kidding anyway XD

take your time! sometimes creativity just leaves us for a while, but it will come back! don't force yourself to write if you don't feel like it. You can always write once you feel up to it again.


honestly, i spent 5 years writing one story and i hadn't finished it when i just didn't feel like it anymore

and i didn't write for a solid year, and then i finished it

and then i didn't write for another year when i finally got my motivation back and wrote my most recent story, which I've fallen in love with and i'm still excited about

my point is that you can take long breaks or short breaks and maybe feel like nothing you're doing is any good at all but at some point you'll get it back, so don't worry

it happens, it's normal, and it'll come back. c:
