Because my inspiration is low, I think I'm going to try writing some kind of fanfiction as a project to just practise writing and help me get back into it. My ideas right now are potentially Twilight with Seth as the love interest (still mxm). Let me know if you'd be into reading that
I wish I had inspiration to write anything. How do you guys get muse/inspiration and what do you reccomend?
Listen to songs related to the genre you would like to write about and picture the story that the song is telling in your head. Do this with a few songs until you start creating your own story in your head. I know it seems weird, but I actually listened to just instrumentals from fantasy movies and before I knew it, I was just envisioning a another world. It is okay to think of the setting first before you come up with the actual story.
@openxmindx I usually listen to music to find inspiration... or sit outside and just let my mind wander where it pleases.
@openxmindx The stories that live in your head are ripe for harvest. Anything that strums your emotions, will likely thrill others as well. I write with only a single scene in mind. It's amazing the plots that can develop when I attempt to build a world around a scene that lived in a daydream.
Hi. I'm alive and have recovered from everything. Its been a painful summer, physically and mentally but I've gotten through the worst part. I really wanted to dedicate my summer to my writing/reading but alas health came first and I decided to take a break from all social media platforms and it really did cut out a lot of stress. I apologise to all the friends I've made on here for not keeping up with you and being online, I haven't forgotten about any of you. I'm a lot better, not quite FULLY there but we're on our way. Again, thanks for everything x
@openxmindx It's so good to see you back!!! And I hope you continue to make a decent or even better recovery. ( ◜‿◝ )♡
I'm going to be aiming for 40-45 chapters to complete Oscar. I have officially planned out the final plot beats and conclusions!
@raphaelalee tbh I was nervous that it wasn't going to have an end and when I finally found somewhere I could be comfortable ending it then I just went for it and grabbed the chance. I just want it to close before it gets dragged out. Whether there's more to the story later on then we will see
@openxmindx That's great! I have trouble planning my stories like that even to this day, that's quite an accomplishment!
My story has disapeared... I'm devastated...
UM WTF WHERE DID MY STORY GO
Kind of want to write a horror/supernatural/romance series... kind of like Goosebumps and Fear Street but with more darkness, death and steamy-ness... also the same characters appearing throughout just shifting focus. This would take inspiration from R.L. Stine, Stephen King, Twin Peaks, L.J. Smith...
I have to ask.... Would a chapter or a few chapters in Oscar's point of view be something you'd want or stick to one POV?
@Loutka I was thinking of having a one off chapter because there's a moment that Maxie wouldn't be there for that I'd love to write
I've entered Oscar for the 2019 Watty Awards! I am entering it for the New Adult category and I hope I have your support!
@openxmindx you have my support! I am nervous for mine, this is my first wattys and I entered my YA book, dont know how its gonna go
MY BOOK REACHED 1K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
