🕸 Trick or Treat: Writeblr Edition

elliotwarren:

idea modified from the game here at this post!

Reblog to ask your followers to send you Trick or Treat! To decide which your follower will receive, flip a coin! 

🌕 If you land on Heads, you’re obligated to give your follower a treat! Perhaps a never before seen snippet from your wip, a haiku about your follower’s blog, a funny photo, a moodboard!

🔮 If you land on Tails, you’re to deal your follower a Trick in the form of some small writing challenge! (create a moodboard, write 100 words on your current wip, share a character fact, etc!) 

Don’t forget to have your ask box open!

2. “How and when exactly did you figure out you were immortal?”

3. “You can’t kill something that isn’t alive!” “I think he would beg to differ.”

20. “Truth be told, I’m not sure that any of them are actually dead.”

Yo guys, send me one and I’ll see what I can whip up

serves-up:

I think all content creators can relate to this.

In my opinion, I don’t think followers really understand how much your requests/likes/reblogs/etc. and random asks mean to me. It’s just so refreshing and nice to know that people enjoy what I’m doing and support me.

People that go the extra mile and send an ask or message letting me know they liked my stuff honestly makes my day. I love reading tags and stuff…it’s honestly so cute….

And people who ask about how I’m doing or send me random questions or cute asks….I just want you guys to know it honestly makes my day. I just love all the interaction and such. It makes running a blog so much more enjoyable.

And Fanart/Fanwork? Honestly that’s one of the greatest things to receive. To everyone that draws or writes, please don’t feel too insecure to send it end! No one is going to criticize you over quality. It’s so sweet that you even thought about making something…I will always appreciate it no matter what, and I’m sure all other content creators feel the same.

So, in conclusion, don’t be afraid to talk to your favorite blogs and show them some love, guys! We always appreciate it! ☺️

types of writers

allisonilluminated:

insomniac-arrest:

The Lore-ist 

  • has detailed if not meticulous notes on the universe they’ve created, down to the food eaten and language quirks, they use mythos and setting to bring it all together
  • most of the character’s backstories are already loving laid out, though may not be all connected yet. 
  • Has yet to write a full chapter. (But they’re getting there!)

The Bae

  • Story is centered around a complex and engaging OC that they’ve spent years developing
  • said OC has been through A Lot, the love is real, so is the pain
  • OC may sort of be a loser? ie the story is a character-driven piece where the plot is moved ahead by said character’s bad decisions and questionable habits

The Researcher

  • akin to the lore-ist but spends more of their time on wikipedia articles jotting down notes and things like how much a watermelon weighs 
  • Everything from knowing Too Much about child-care to how a body decomposes or flapper chest-binding is on the table, their breadth is large and Should Be Feared
  • takes a long time to start but make the most of their words, from spot-on sci-fi to history to murder, readers will learn something on the way

The Lemon Flavored Factory

  • alright take it back now y’all, this writer has written enough smut to make a tom cat blush, they can write other things too, and often well, but there will inevitably be bed-rattling at some point (or car or shower)
  • either unusually creative or just sticks to classics like Aliens Made Them Do It, neither is necessarily bad but there is oddly little in between
  • their author’s notes tend to be hilarious or at least very self-aware

The Word Vomit Canoe

  • action oriented writer who spews out the words before they know what is happening, no plans, no outlines, 10k of the first thing that comes to mind, sometimes things like ‘maybe dragons?’ & they go with it
  • their strengths are productivity, weaknesses are not knowing what the hell is going on
  • style is marked by fast-paced tone and downright impressive word count

The Muse

  • their inspiration doesn’t come as often, but they are always listening for her & redy 2 go
  • update schedule is…sporadic at best, but makes up for it with long chapters and clean editing
  • Will write 30 pages in a day and then take a few months off, enjoys one-shots but can do longer works
  • doesn’t have the best sense of time and when they are in The Zone may forget to eat or shower

I mean, I’m the word vomit canoe, but I prefer to think of it as “adventurous.”

@millie-likes-art, I am rewriting that fic now. So thanks for that.

However! You’re gonna have to suffer through my rants about my past self and how bad I was at using punctuation correctly.

@ past me. 

FULL STOPS ARE A FREAKING THING!!!

JEEZ

SHould I feel guilty? XD

YES YOU SHOULD 

also wtf is going on in your tags?

@millie-likes-art

Well, I just had my second realization that people with white hair, regardless of whether or not they are questionably sane, are attractive.

So thanks for that.

Lmao, have I ever mentioned that I really hate past me at the moment?

It is getting increasingly difficult to rewrite the shitty fanfiction and I dont know how to feel about anymore.

Past you must really be something, huh? XD I won’t blame you if you tap out.

I cant. I’m already too invested, I even started posting it to my FF account despite planning on taking a long hiatus!

Also, yes. Past me was an even shittier writer than I am now.

I have found where I can watch the anime for free, rediscovered exactly why the villain of the second to last arc was my favourite character and am amazed at how quickly I am writing.
