The Fanatical Fan-Addict

"How do I motivate myself to write through the boring part of my story?"

"How do I make this boring scene not boring?"

Don't write it.

Don't write boring things just because you think the structure of the story demands it. I promise it doesn't need to be there.

If your characters need to have gone shopping for a later part of the story to make sense you can just have a sentence about how they went shopping and move on.

You are not obligated to write the boring parts. No matter what those parts are.

You are not obligated to make the parts of your story that you're not excited to write interesting somehow.

You can just write the fun and interesting parts and gloss over and summarize boring things.

Are you happy with it?

happy belated birthday blue rat

When Bog places the flower into Marianne's hair, he strokes the long point of her ear with his index. It bounces back a wee bit when he removes his finger. But that's not all...

When he shifts that paw, her collar performs that same, tiny bounce. Some of those curled fingers were behind it. Whilst the plant fabric doesn't cling to her skin, due to the immensity and length of his digits they must have been touching her neck and hair.

But there's more! He brushes the bare skin between her shoulder and the collar when he withdraws his paw. Again there's a minuscule impact. And what that thumb does...

This physical endearment grants her after-reaction more meaning. She's trailing her digits along the path of his caress, showing how much she relished it.

This "feeling Bog's touch" effect isn't the first of its ilk either. When their hands clack together at "I never trust anybody!", she brushes the exact spot that connected with his skin with her right. Another wee instant easy to overlook.

Whilst an utter dork lord, I love how Bog doesn't blench at caressing Marianne in this semi-secluded setting. It's utterly different from the pressure of the raucous audience of several species at the end, which furthermore includes the Fairy King.
