// all this research is making me dizzy and is disturbing my concentration on writing The Glass Kingdom // ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ever feel like this — when you are writing a chapter and you don't know what happens next, or how to describe this character, or what this room looks like, or how to portray your MC as an expert who knows everything about certain things, etc, etc? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am feeling this!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ At the end of the day, the sprinkles and icing decorations are not supposed to be on the cake because it is SUPPOSED to be a half-baked cake. A baker wants to bake a cake but doesn't know what other ingredients to add besides the basics. I have flour (characters, some have names and some don't), sugar (a plot that is all over the place), butter (chapters), eggs (chapter titles). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And for an inexperienced baker, and a writer writing a draft 1, things are going to get messy. That's how the cookie crumbles. BUT be proud of that mess because afterwards when you're doing the 2nd draft, it is going to be less of a mess. And from the mess, something good emerges: a new version of the story is born and everything falls into place. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What are you currently struggling with? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [ tags ] #2020willbebetter #TheGlassKingdom #poetrycommumity #bawritinglife #writingbuddies #soontobeauthor #writinginprogress #amdrafting #nerdcommunity #poetrysocietyofinstagram #poetryloversunite #postitivethinking #girlpoet #writersconnect #finishthatdraft #amwritingfantasy #finishthedraft #writingfantasy #writingispassion #amwritingfantasy #writersloveforever #storytelling #ipohwriters #writingispassion #ilovewriting #writingaseries #writingfun #malaysianwriters #writedreambelieve #amwritingdarkfantasy (at Tambun, Perak, Malaysia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B94FWCigMEK/?igshid=1afxlp6enmyag
