I've finally gotten amazing at finishing rough drafts, but revisions? Nope, can't focus on them at all...

My Sister's Stolen Soul in black and purple text with white angel wings behind it A car mirror reflecting the sunset, an eye with a purple iris, an angel statue, a silhouette of two hands with linked pinkies, a snowy road at night
Melody and Lyra have shared a body for over 20 years, and they're doing great... until Lyra is stolen from under their skin. Melody teams up with Lyra's girlfriend Annie (who had no idea Melody exists), and an angel to go on an awkward rescue road trip.

I've been trying to poke my head in on the pitch event, but today has been so busy...! :(
The world has ended, and the descendants of survivors hide in a magic forest, shielding them from monsters. But then, someone arrives. Someone no one recognizes, and who has no memories. And soon after his arrival, the gods who destroyed the world begin to stir…

Me: More plot, plz?
My brain: Hmmm... Best I can do is 5 new characters that fit perfectly into existing plots.
I have an outline that maaaaaaybe covers only half of book one. My worldbuilding is full of holes I'm still actively patching. Half my characters don't even have names. The first two chapters plus about 5k of random scenes have been drafted thus far. What is even happening???
This story is itching to be written in weird ways. I'll write backstory, but then I'll get an idea for the outline and work on that for a bit, but then a scene or chapter will demand to be written, so I'll do that. Who knows how this'll look in the end...?
Trying to get back into writing by starting a rough outline of a fantasy trilogy that's been stuck in my head for a while now
How does one find a writing critique group/partner these days?
Decided I'm not doing nano the rest of the month. I'm still recovering from COVID. Pushing myself to write like this is probably not for the best...
One thing my two cats have in common is that they both love biting me...
Sudden intense urge to write something high fantasy.
...neither of my nano projects are high fantasy...
:(
The story I'm dabbling in is insisting on being written in 3rd person omniscient, present tense. I have never written anything in omniscient before, and I prefer my 3rd person to be past.
?????
Looking for a new job while also trying to complete nanowrimo is a special kind of hell...
Agreed!
And these two are so snarky to each other, but it's how they show they care and I love them so much...!
The WIP I'm dabbling in when my weird one isn't flowing is about two people who are in deep friend-love with each other (zero romantic feelings toward each other at any point in the story), and their dynamic has been so fun to write!
Chapter 4 just absorbed chapter 5, but it's fine. I've come up with a ton of new stuff for the middle, so hopefully I have enough plot still to hit something resembling 50k.
Never would've guessed the joke character I made 2 days ago would be so important to my plot
Trying to write chapter two, but I keep getting distracted and drafting unhinged scenes from the end of the book
*writes the words "chapter one" at the top of the document*
*stares at my screen for half an hour without typing*
*checks word count and sees there's only 2 words*
Wow, rude.
Just reread my outline for my nanowrimo project and it's already changed so much in my head vs what's written down. Uh oh...
Coming up with last minute gag characters to throw into my nanowrimo project
I loved this one! I was hooked by the fascinating world and diverse characters! Great ace rep, too!
All I wanna do is read and write all day forever
My brain keeps giving me only half plots and none of them fit together...
Asleep, I was positive my dreams last night would make the plot for an amazing MG fantasy. When I woke up, however, I realized they were nonsense... :(
I get a lot of my most interesting ideas from my dreams. How disappointing...
Having fun so far! ^^
My gf and I are both trying to seduce Sebastian, though... Whoops...
