hey here's a random story concept idea
i came up with this yesterday feel free to use it becuz i'm not gonna
so there's this teenage girl (or it can be a boy idc) who's just like, your average teenger, whatever. one day she's just being bored on her phone, looking at google maps to try and figure out a different way to get to school, when she realises the satellite images, instead of being like fifty years old, they show exactly one day into the future.
at first she thinks it's a bug, or a glitch. but as time passes and it's proven to be true, she realises her phone can see 24 hours into the future. whatever. she thinks it's pretty cool, and doesn't bother thinking about it too much or how it's possible. she just uses it as a party trick sometimes, and it's all fun and games.
until one day she's looking at her school on the map, and sees a dead body. a car that nobody at school owns. and barely visible footprints that don't belong to the dead guy.
she realises she has exactly 24 hours to find out who killed them before the murder happens.
or before they figure out what she's doing, and try to shut her up once and for all...
When youve been a writer for long enough, commas become more of a spiritual practice than a grammatical one.
Could I explain the actual rules of how they’re used? Absolutely not.
Do I rely on sensing a tremor in the force to tell me where to use them? Yes and this has never failed me even once.
this is why i suck at general writing advice (like grammar etc)
like, i've been doing this for so damn long that at this point, the rules of grammar are an afterthought. i can create novels that have beautifully worded and perfectly thought out prose and punctuation, but could i tell you exactly how to do it? absolutely not
i would post something but i'm actually in the mood to write *gasp*!
imma go write now before the urge to scroll consumes me
"holy shit they finally confessed, what comes next--"
i'm new to ao3. last night i got to the end of the chapters in a fic that have been written, not knowing how ao3 works therefore not knowing it was incomplete. i was so mad
romance tropes that physically draw me in. if you give me a book and say it has one of these, i will immediately read it. if you hand me a book and say is has multiple of these tropes, i will scream and devour. if you hand me a book that has all of these i will die and my ghost will hoard all the copies so only i am able to experience the greatness.

had a dream once where not only were empaths a thing, but also a person called a sympath existed.

crypticgoat2854how non-writers think writing works: creating a detailed outline and plan, writing each section carefully and weaving in all the different story threads like a master creator, expertly creating a masterpiece with care and precisionhow writing actually works: daydreaming that one scene, creating a half-formed plot in a daze all around it, swearing at characters that don't magic themselves into existence, becoming absolutely obsessed with the story for a solid week, it becomes your entire life, you sit down open a blank word document and write approximately two and a half chapters, lose interest, daydream an entirely new idea for a new story, rinse and repeat#writing#creative writing#writer stuff#teen writer#young writer#writer things#writeblr#writer on tumblr#writing stuff#writers#writers of tumblr#ao3 writer#writerscommunity#writers on tumblr#female writers#writing life#writer probz#writer problems#authors of tumblr#young author#indie author#books#writing community#bookblr#books and reading#bookworm#book lover#reading… See all

crypticgoat2854short description of my current wip because my friend said i should post about it on tumblr but i don't have the energy to do a full thing right nowBlurb-y type thingo (copy-pasted from my notes app): Charles has been the Prince of a slowly decaying kingdom all his life. Ever since his twin sister was separated from him at birth, kidnapped by the same people who ripped apart the four Elemental spirits, magic has been deteriorating rapidly, and the kingdom with it. His telepathic connection with the Princess was severed, and all assumed her dead. But when he gets a message from her in his own mind, he realises that it's up to him to find her and use her help to save their world. So the Prince sets forth on his quest, accompanied by a rag-tag band of misfits unexpected to be consorting with the Prince. The group travels across the land, restoring the ancient magic as they go and trying to stop the villains. But why is the Royal Prince leaving the safety of his castle when he's barely of age? What if the "bad guys" are actually trying to help the kingdom? And come to think of it, did the princess even ask if she wanted to be saved?Main Characters (hehe they're so silly): Charles, a socially awkward and caring Prince who is willing to do anything for his people yet cannot hold a simple conversation; his childhood best friend, a snarky half-werewolf named Kit; Etelka, a stubborn near elderly sorceress who accompanies them purely to stop them from accidentally disturbing ancient magic and getting themselves killed; a roguish magician named Luc with a charming smile and the skill to lift your jewels from your pocket while playing the guitar; and an energetic thief named Clara who likes to eat inedible things and has an uncanny habit of knowing things she shouldn't.Genre: Fantasy, fairy-tale, generally meant to be the reverse of the classic fairy-tale stereotypesTitle: Knight in Rusty Armour (might change, prob not tho)Anyway, hope you like it, and tell me if you want to hear more about it :) happy writing#writing#creative writing#writer on tumblr#current wip#writer things#writer stuff#teen writer#writeblr#young writer#books and reading#books#writing stuff#writers#reading#writing a book#authors of tumblr#author#indie author#young author#fiction#author life#my ocs#ocs#original character#my ocs <3#oc stuff… See all

crypticgoat2854i think i am superpoweredokay so i hate getting woken up by alarms, alright? like, absolutely loathe, detest, complete and utter agony, it's the worst thing in the world. i hate alarms.but i also have a habit of sleeping in.so i've discovered that when i set an alarm to wake up for something, I will always, every single time, I will wake up ten-thirty minutes before my alarm goes off. I hate alarms so frigging much that I legitimately have trained my unconscious mind to keep track of the time and wake me up before my alarm goes off so I won't have to endure the agony. without a clock i can't even do that consciouslywhat is with me. honestly#what the hell#how

crypticgoat2854Anonymous asked:how do u write seeing that one Summer Bestfriend after years? sorry if this is a dumb question! I just started writing and I need really specific advice-Hi! No, this isn't a dumb question, sometimes you just need a little nudge in the right direction when you're feeling clueless 😉😊Oh, reuniting with your bestie after years! Such a mood. Can be a bit tricky to get the vibe right, but I'll try to help.Personally, I would start with them both being super excited to see each other, and the first five minutes is just ecstatic conversation and remembering that summer. Just pure joy.And then once they both settle down and start having an actual conversation, it gets a little bit awkward. Because they're both expecting the other to be unchanged and have the same spark, the same connection between them, but in reality they've both changed a lot. They're different now, not the same kids they used to be.They act slightly robotic, stiff and tense, awkwardly finding their way down a hallway with the lights off. They both remember just how amazing it was to be friends back in those days, and are a little confused as to what's wrong, why it feels different now. They don't truly understand that they need to stop acting like neither of them have changed, and need to stop trying to make the past the present.Maybe eventually, one of them brings up an old inside joke and the other laughs, and they feel a tiny thread, a little reconnection between the two of them. Once they start to talk more, stop trying to pretend they're the same, and embrace the fact that they aren't the same people from that summer, their conversation gets a bit more genuine. They laugh and talk and have fun, until they feel like they know this person again, that nostalgic feeling of being able to trust them with the world.I hope this helped you, and happy writing! :)#creative writing#writer on tumblr#writer things#young writer#writing advice#writing#teen writer#writer stuff#writeblr#writers#writing stuff#writing a book#writing and writers#writing a novel#writer advice#writers on tumblr#female writers#writerscommunity#writing life#happy writing… See all
