I figured out what I am.
          	
          	I'M A PANTSER!? NO WONDER I CAN’T WRITE SH** WHEN I TRY TO MAKE OUTLINES.
          	
          	(Cue rant) 
          	
          	A pantser is basically who writes whatever they imagine without a detailed outline, letting the story unfold naturally. It’s a quick way to write and has very little thinking that goes behind it for the most part. It’s good cause it helps quickly start a story but also helps you exercise your imagination. 
          	
          	(Can’t believe it took so many years and I’m only just now figuring how what a pantser was) 
          	
          	I’m a pantser with all my stories, with the majority being writing I conjure up through dreams and slap on paper, calling it a day. I hit certain story beats but it’s not all formatted as I’m trying to do now, and I realize..THAT BE BEING A PLOTTER IS SLOWING ME DOWN. I’ve never been so mentally drained before.
          	
          	Making a comprehensive plan about character arcs, plot twists, key scenes and more (though good) is—omg, I don’t know what format of outlining this is called but when you have:
          	
          	HEADING 
          	
          	(Title of scene)
          	A: Something
          	1.
          	2. 
          	
          	B: Something 
          	1.
          	2.
          	
          	YOU GET THE JIST.
          	
          	Trying that? I hate it. I need practice, but I don’t understand how to write these things out *cries* 
          	
          	If it doesn’t have a name I’m calling it “Pantsers Nightmare”. 
          	Anyway, I guess I’ll slowly be moving back to my normal routine of writing, probably for the best. I’ve been stuck outlining for several months and got..two chapters guys. I’ve never—never..never again. 
          	
          	It was fun at first..
          	
          	But not again.

"I'm not gonna do it, I'm only thinking about it."

Gosh, I'm so invested In this Avian and Feline Bkdk story that I’m making art of the characters!? At first, it was just to envision what they’d look like in person so It could help me write the text down- BUT NOT ANYMORE. 
          
          Hopefully, I'm not the only one that does this for their stories. 
          Once I start writing the story I’ll share the drawings for the first and second chapters! 
          
          I’ll keep y’all posted for future updates.

Guys, imma gonna do the Avian and Feline bkdk story! But I need your opinion and your thoughts on this if you wouldn’t mind. Spoilers ahead: !!!
          
          Ok, I’m currently writing down the notes for the plot and world setting/building of this fantastical story. The problem is, HOW FAR am I gonna push it? 
          
          So far, the world is 3x larger compared to Earth, with more dramatic climates and regions/biomes that make the redwood trees look like sticks on the ground. But the environment is relatively the same, just bigger with larger once ‘mini’ ecosystems now put on full display. Adding a possibility for new creatures and plants to grow in this world. 
          
          Species spoiler: !!!
          
          Izuku is gonna be a part ‘lion’ in this world but do we want him to be like the lions in our world or like what lions would be in a fantastical/primal setting? - Are you picking up what I’m putting down?? 
          
          Take Avatar Pandora for example; the Thanator, which looks alien AF but we know its design is based on the large felines like panthers and tigers in our world due to the similar environments that affected its evolution. Do we wanna go this route - or stick to traditional-? 
          
          I wanna hear your thoughts cause I want y’all to be a part of this experience with me! Do you guys love the idea~? Have the idea a bit more fleshed out then we’ll talk-? Stick to the original-? Idk!
          
          Nothing is set and stone and changes will be made to fit the world of this story better, but if you have any ideas don’t be afraid to show and tell!

@4jkxprmfjwprivaterel love the lion saber tooth tiger idea! (•̀ᴗ•́)و 
            I’m not even kidding when I made him a hybrid of a Tiger and a lion, so a liger - but I forgot to put it as that since I was so focused on the lion part (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) 
            
            But him being part saber tooth-? I love it

GUYS, NO ONE TOLD ME THAT PEOPLE HATE THE WORD “GREENETTE”. MAYBE I’M JUST SO DESENSITIZED TO IT SINCE 2021 I DIDN’T SEE IT AS A PROBLEM BUT OMG- NO ONE SAID ANYTHING - TIC TOK BE THE ANGST OF MY LIFE. LIKE- ARE YOU GUYS OKAY WITH GREENETTE-? CAUSE I USE IT FOR LOGICAL PURPOSES OF USING A CHARACTERISTIC TO CHANGE PERSPECTIVE etc; if I’m using their names too much or there’s two of the same genders conversing, I don’t want to make the action muddy between who’s doing what, so using a separate characteristic LIKE HAIR COLOR shows exactly which character is now our focus. 
          
          But ok- verdette it is then - cause just saying, “The green haired” this and that is so eh compared to saying “the greenette.” Like all the natural hairs have names- and my boy Izu stuck with greenette and no one told me that they didn’t like it -!? YALL WERE QUIET?? 
          
          Let me know your thoughts ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
          Maybe I’m overreacting??

@onlytoasterstrudel I guess it just comes down to overuse and personal feelings towards the word. Some people call it cringe because it doesn’t sound right and they’ll debate saying “Just say the green-haired boy, stop trying to make every word end with ette.” And to some level I understand it, but also, they’re not always the writers making the story. 
            
            And people who’ve been stuck with that word since early times (like me) haven’t found a word substitute, since this topic is such a small minority of people that for all the years I’ve been writing fics, I have never heard any hate for the word, but I can understand why, to some degree now. I’ll still be using greenette occasionally, but someone DID point out that they use VERDETTE instead of greenette — and omg- I respect it, sounds just as amazing. A great substitute if anyone wanted it!

@Bonk626 yeah, I can totally understand that!  — as long as it’s not overused I personally wouldn’t find it a big deal either
