{ ＩＮＫＬＩＮＧＳ } LOCK! NEW THREAD

[Zoethian]

-snip-

I've barely been getting much time to write lately and it's been making me really depressed and annoyed ;-;
Anyone else ever get like this?

Yes, and it's horrible. Though, mostly, I deal with writer's block. Like the one I'm fighting now, been fighting it for a few months now. I think it started when Mom got me "Writing Children's Books for Dummies". I LOVE the book and think it's a great help for someone like me who's thinking of possibly becoming a published writer. But when I got to the developing characters part, I kinda grew discouraged. Why? Because I'm 100+ one sided pages in my current novel. That means, that if I want to make sure my characters are developing properly. I have to carefully go through my entire novel. And I just couldn't do it. It was too tedious. And bam, there went my muse.

I've been struggling to regain it, but it's just SO hard. And the horrible thing is that I feel ten times happier after just two hours of writing. And I can't make myself do it. *Sigh* Which was why I decided to join this thread. Maybe getting some feedback on the story that I'm writing so I can get back to my novel will help. If I post it, that is.

Whoops, sorry for the rant. It's just been bugging me lately.

Awh, I've been through this, friend; I was reading an online forum and I love it, but every time I read something there I just sit back and look at my work and just wonder how good of a writer I really am. Things like this are really discouraging - one thing that really annoys me is the whole 'Don't try writing (character/scene/thing) unless you're (popular and published author here)'.

But then I sit up straight and tell myself: "Hey, there's always the editing, and car journeys, the walks, and friends, and asking questions and rewriting and character building and worldbuilding and reading and feedback and editing." And then I go back and continue on with my writing; plus I tell myself I'm just writing for me and write what I want to read, about the characters I want to be friends with and the places I want to go.

Maybe that's really unhelpful, but if you're already 100+ pages in then you must be doing something brilliant to have stuck at it that long <3 Just go ahead and do the writing and sort out all the details later. I also tend to forget the 'rules of writing' and just get on with it (ignoring tenses, walls of text, character development). I can sit down and figure out why character #5 likes apples and why character #3 is always muttering later on, the words just need to be on the page.

Thanks SO much for the encouraging words. Yeah, that was one of my problems. Every now and then I thought "Would others want to read this?" and that would sometimes get me discouraged. But I'd always bounce back from that thinking "No, it doesn't matter whether others would want to read this or not. I want to read it." But then when I got the REALLY helpful Dummies book, I just couldn't anymore. I haven't read it since then, either.

I'll listen to your advice. Because I do really miss the characters and the world that I was creating. Heck, I may just post the first chapter here and see what others think. Maybe one of my problems is that I never really did look for feedback or receive feedback from my stories.

[Unforgiven~]

i'm a new member!
➹Unforgiven, I don't really have any nicknames to go with it. Me and some people on a website I used to run tried to come up with some, but it never worked XD
I also haven't posted any stories online right now, seeing as a while back I took them all off of Quotev. Is that okay?
OPEN FOR CRITIQUE?
Sure! I've never really been on one of these kinds of threads, and I'm sort of looking on people with the same kinds of interests to help build on the ideas I have

There is an anime called Black cat and they used -forgot- something called neobots and they created a genetically perfect pair of bio genetic weapons for a project called Eden which would inject every living being with the machines from a chemical rain and then Adam and Eve would be the database and they would control the human's emotions and body and have them all be peaceful, happy, and perfect.

I'm currently writing a oneshot based on a song (Hold On Til May by Pierce The Veil) and was wondering how it is so far.Care to comment and criticize on what I have so far? ^^;

The trees. If there were ever such a place for comfort, then the tall oak trees by the railroad tracks would have to be the closest thing to it. The oak trees always seem to just barely graze the warm skin of the sun with its rough and woody touch. Yet strangely, they managed to find a way to exceed their way past the highest clouds and into the subtle atmosphere. In an unique way, despite their strange appearance, the lovely trees could be considered compassionate and tall human beings whose only purpose in life is to help make life more comfortable by listening to other peoples’ problems and protecting their secrets. Although, it all solely depends on who’s asking and who’s telling.
This is the place the young girl loved the most for she could feel a kind of love here she never felt. Through the eyes of her peers, friends, teachers, and even through the eyes of her classmates’ parents: she was the perfect and ideal friend, student, and the next best thing to a non related golden child. If you were to ask anyone, they would all tell you that she was a very kind and cheerful girl who tried her best at even the most impossible task or challenge that was placed on her path. She always got good grades in school and was even on the school’s soccer team. They would also say that the girl found life to be everything besides unhappy and terrible, and that the girl was happy. Unfortunately, this is not the case and almost everything they have stated is wrong.

i have this thing on wattpad, and i'd love any kinds of critique. c:
i'm not exactly proud of the description and prologue, but i am immensely happy about chapter one.
here's the description, see if it strikes you fancy. xD (omg not american lingo)
i think there are a lot of grammatical issues. :c


Two stars have been orbiting each other for millions of years, and they have finally merged together, creating a supper-massive star, a little too hot and bright for comfort.
Celine Northe has lived the good life, constant shelter to refrain from being burned, food and water, everything. She has always been the model teenager, but the time has come for her parents to give her up to save themselves. She is thrown out into a world that requires both brain and brawn to survive.

I don't know, but I'm extremely annoyed by them and wish they would go away.

Do you guys ever draw inspiration from your dreams? Like, the other night I went to IHOP with a bunch of friends, and that night I dreamed I accidentally shot and killed the waiter we had. It stuck with me and inspired me to write this really long scene, which I'm using in one of my books.
