WifeOfEnjolras
I’ve been writing since I was thirteen (I’m twenty now) and I’ve only finished ONE fic because every time I watch a movie or read a book my brain is like “…this would make a good fic… ”

@shimaduhh thank you so much for all your help! i’ve been planning and writing out a few bits so hopefully i can piece it all together soon :)

@poemsandpeonies I think the most important thing to remember is to not feel as though you have to rush the plot! Like don’t be afraid to take a few chapters (2 or 3 maybe) to introduce your main character(s) and build off of their backstories, etc. That way, by the time we’re introduced to the love interest, we feel as though we know the mc as more than just one half of a love story. If you try to have the 2 characters immediately meet and form a relationship while still trying to establish your mc’s personality and stuff, it can feel a little rushed and/or jumbled. Once we have a good understanding of WHO your character is, you can continue to build on them through the little things they experience and the people they interact with. I hope that makes sense! I’m at work and writing this on a whim hahaha

ugh trying to plan a story but finding filler chapters and fully developing the plot is so hard how do i fill enough chapters to make it not seem rushed
