In regards to your writing, maybe start with figuring out your favorite part about writing the fic? Like, did you feel most passionate writing the characters, painting a landscape, writing emotion, depicting action, discussing moral ambiguity, etc? And then focus on that in your next Big Thing, at least as a starting point?? Idk I work entirely in nonfiction writing so I'm not sure how helpful this is haha
this is great advice, and it was really kind of you to try to help me out! the Dream is that i am hit with a Bolt of Inspiration a la the Nonsense, but if we’re being real, that is not likely to happen, so actual, real steps like this is definitely the way to go.
I’m definitely going to think about this, thank you!
