Hello! So I just wanted to ask what’s your writing process? I’ve always been interested in writing and I have so many ideas but I don’t know how to organize my thoughts or put my ideas into words that would make sense and make the writing deep. Do you have any tips or suggestions?

@My_Ch3mic4l_Lum4 thank you thank you thank you!!! you don’t realize how much this actually helps! And thank you so so so much for taking time out of your day to just tell me tips! You didn’t have to do it (most people ignore my questions) and that makes me more grateful! I seriously don’t know how to thank you enough! You didn’t give me a halfassed reply you actually took time to explain to me everything you know and what helps! This is actually the nicest thing a person I don’t even know in person done to me! I’m so grateful and I hope you have a wonderful day and I hope your amazing writing gets more recognition because you deserve it for being an amazing person and an even more amazing writer!

@THE_LEGEND9 Whimsy. Let your characters have fun. Angst is cool and all, but it's important to let your characters have fun. Write them going to a local pool. Write them going on a walk. Write them doing anything. Angst can't be Angst without at least a little bit of fluff, and fluff can't be fluff without at least a little bit of angst. I recommend to try balancing it, but hey, having fun at a mall and going home to find out your long lost brother suddenly returned to tell you your parents are dead or something isn't too bad either. Drama ✨️
            
            Your vocabulary doesn't have to be big. However dictionaries and a thesaurus are your best friend. Practice and trying new things are also your friends. Do what makes you comfortable. Dialouge will seem scary but it's fun once you get the hang of it.
            
            Of course this is just things I follow/tend to do. Dont strictly keep to it, it's just like an optional guideline. I hope this answers your questions

@THE_LEGEND9 Where you write, and how you feel when you do it. It probably doesnt seem like a big deal but it can matter sometimes. I mostly write the satosugu geto centered fic alone in a closed room when it's dark outside. Its probably weird but I can make the mood darker when I need to that way. If you want to write something happy, or write something happy to make you happy, you should focus on your mood so it doesnt overly affect your writing. If it's to make you happy, dont forget to add in little things that you know would lift your mood or write about things that would make you feel better. But this doesnt mean you have to have certain conditions just to write. I've literally written fanfiction in school. The grind never stops 
            
            Scheduling. This is IMPORTANT. Writing too much at once can burn you out. Posting weekly or even daily updates is a one way ticket to "oh my god I dont want to do this anymore but people like it so im going to do it anyway but I'm actually suffering over here". I've been there. Victim advice, DONT DO IT. Pace yourself. Cant write today? That's okay. You can try a few days from now. Dont feel like writing right now? You can try next month if you want to. Yes, having a schedule is good. Having a flexible schedule is even better. I try snd write the most every second and fourth week of the month. Do I always get to do so? No way in heck. Do I try? Of course. Trying is your best friend. Dont try and fit stupid expectations. Again; fanfiction is supposed to be fun.
