It's honestly so rude that it's literally impossible to write 100K in a day. I'm impatient.

yesterday my brain randomly connected a few plot things in my wip and i’ve always heard of people saying sometimes the story writes itself but i think this is the first time it’s happened to me. it was like, oh here u go have some intricate sub plot details that will be interwoven with the rest of the story, i know you’ve been trying to untangle those things for awhile. seemed like u were strugglin :/

nana-writes

I love when that happens! I'm so glad it happened to u

Hello friends! It’s been a while

I was gone for a bit but I am okay, I was just tired and burnt out and had other things draining my time. I wanna come back tho!

How are you all doing? Tell me about your projects, your wins in the last year, what’s been going on with you <3 I wanna hear

Was it out of the ordinary that the entire Romanov family was killed? What I mean is, in cases where a country is overthrown, is it typical for the entire family to be killed, or is it more common that only the ruler and sons be killed?

Usually if a royal family lingers in the country after all the warning signs and the beginning of the end, then yes, more than often they always are killed. If a regime wants to take hold, it has the destroy the old one.

nana-writes

Actually, while you aren't wrong per se inky, the romanovs all getting killed was shocking at the time. No one expected that the daughters would all get murdered too, and even the mother was a bit odd - the French had just had their revolutiokn and they killed only the king and Queen, not their children. Instead they attempted to re-educate them. The You're Wrong About podcast has an episode on Anastasia that explains the historical and social context really well.

So… I found this and now it keeps coming to mind. You hear about “life-changing writing advice” all the time and usually its really not—but honestly this is it man.

I’m going to try it.

missroserose

I love the lawyer metaphor, because whenever I see “John knew that…” in prose writing I immediately think “how? How does he know it?” Interrogate your witnesses. Cross-examine them. Make them explain their reasoning. It pays dividends.

heck-in-a-handbasket

All of this, but also feels/felt. My editor has forbidden me from using those and it’s forced me to stretch my skills.

randomramblesofaraven

See, this sort of writing tip is amazing to follow AS AN EXERCISE. But please, for the love of all that is holy, remember to ‘tell’ sometimes, not just 'show’, when you’re actually writing novels.

you know what trope always fucking gets to me?

When a character is about to die, like really die. There’s no hope and they’re this badass character who acts like they don’t need anybody but in those final moments, they’re like, “I want my mom” and it fucking destroys you

a big shoutout to people who have trouble talking about ocs without being prompted but don’t often get people asking about their ocs

tropes i will never get tired of

fake dating

omniscient narrator who immediately contradicts the characters (“This is fine,” she said. It was, in no way, shape, or form, fine.)

deadpan jokes while swordfighting

the “I FUCKING LOVE MY WIFE” guy

oblivious pining that slowly escalates until A is going on page rants about how pretty B’s eyes are but still doesn’t seem to recognize they’re in love

Strong Leader Type having to physically fall down in order for the other characters to see how exhausted they are

funny villains who talk and make jokes with their heroes while they’re fighting them

the villains presented as the protagonists

*increasingly pulls out bigger and bigger weapons from more unlikely places*

“I said all of your weapons” *pulls out more*

“ALL OF THEM” *pulls out one last tiny dagger*

traumatized character using humor to cover up ptsd

characters going out for a break at a restaurant/movie/whatever and something bad happening

using the “*gasp* what’s that over there???” trick to avert the enemy’s attention and it working

a villain’s weakness being something totally random and nonsensical

a hero duo arguing over who’s the sidekick while fighting a villain

“don’t be silly, we don’t need [important thing]” “you lost it, didn’t you?” “yeah”

“what’s the one thing I told you not to do tonight?” “raise the dead” “and what did you do?” “raised the dead”

“I think that went pretty well” *explosion in the distance*

WbW - 29th September

Happy Worldbuilding Wednesday! As always, answer when you can and regardless of whether or not you follow me or reciprocate!

Today let’s talk normal people!

How do civilians, humans, non-magicians, etc. think about the special people in your stories? About the events going on?

Happy creating everyone! ^^
