Reactions to grief

Denial and Disbelief: Initially, a character may struggle to accept the reality of their loss. They might refuse to believe that their loved one is gone, clinging to hope or desperately searching for any signs of their presence.

Emotional Turmoil: Grief often brings intense emotional upheaval. Characters may experience profound sadness, despair, anger, guilt, or a mix of conflicting emotions. Their moods may fluctuate drastically, leading to outbursts of tears, frustration, or numbness.

Withdrawal and Isolation: Some characters might withdraw from social interactions, seeking solitude to process their grief. They may isolate themselves from others, finding solace in their own thoughts and memories.

- Physical Symptoms: Grief can manifest in physical symptoms such as loss of appetite, insomnia, fatigue, headaches, or other psychosomatic manifestations. These physical reactions can reflect the toll that grief takes on the character's overall well-being.

Immersion in Memories: Characters may immerse themselves in memories of the person they've lost. They might seek comfort in looking at old photographs, listening to recordings, or visiting significant places that remind them of their loved one.

Guilt and Regret: Characters may grapple with guilt and regret over things left unsaid or unresolved issues with the deceased. They may blame themselves for not being able to prevent the loss or feel remorse for any negative actions or words in the past.

Seeking Closure: Characters might actively seek closure by investigating the circumstances surrounding the loss or searching for answers. This could involve conducting their own inquiries, talking to people connected to the situation, or even pursuing spiritual or metaphysical avenues.

Attempting to Fill the Void: Some characters may try to fill the void left by their loss by immersing themselves in work, hobbies, or other distractions. This can be a way to cope with the pain or to create a sense of purpose in the absence of their loved one.

Rediscovering Meaning: Over time, characters may go through a process of reevaluating their own life's purpose and finding new meaning or direction. This can involve pursuing new interests, engaging in charitable acts, or dedicating themselves to causes that honor the memory of the person they've lost.

Healing and Acceptance: Eventually, characters may find a sense of healing and acceptance. While the pain of the loss never fully disappears, they learn to live with their grief and carry the memory of their loved one with them. This can lead to a renewed sense of purpose or a deepened appreciation for life.

How I Modify My Google Doc for Outlining and Drafting

I previously talked about setting up my document to look like a formatted paperback book to help writing not feel so daunting.

Today, I bring you a different way I change my document that is more appealing to me than the standard Doc.

For Drafts

first, go to Page Set Up

this is what the default is

For my setup: Margins will change to .5" for top, bottom, left, and right.

this is the page color I chose but it's totally optional.

Then, I change my default font. Here is how to find the ones I like. Go to the font option, then click More fonts.

These are the fonts I love. You can search them or browse for ones you like.

next, i change my first-line paragraph indent to .25"

For Outlining

(and also character profiles, world-building, etc.)

You are going to follow the same steps as above first. The only difference is you don't need to mess with any of the indent settings.

I use boxes as dividers and organizers. To do this, go to Insert > Table > 1x1.

Then, change the border thickness to 2.25pt. I usually have a color palette for these, so I'm choosing a darker brown than the background for the borders. But white paper and black table lines work just as well and are more print-friendly ;)

Next, I change the Headings, Subheadings, and Subtitles. To begin, I am changing my Title heading. I choose my font, how big I want it to be, and then I like using a highlight color as well. Here, I'm using a standard light/pastel color and 18pt font.

Highlight to select this new title. Go to the dropdown menu that says "normal text", hover over "Title", then choose "Update 'Title' to Match". Now you can click that every time with no hassle. And it will begin an outline for you to the left.

Let's make that box within a box! Make sure you are typing inside the first box. Then insert another table. I am going to use a 2x3.

Because this table is more than one cell, you can go to the three dots up top and click "Table Options" to change every table border selected at once. Again, 2.25pt with the same color as before. The cell background color says white but you don't have to change it to match the page color.

You can save both your Heading preferences and page setup as your default style. Every new document you make will use these settings automatically.

I really hope this was helpful and/or interesting!

As always, take what you want and leave the rest. Happy writing!

Side Note To Fan Fic Authors

Here’s the thing.

I read a lot of scripts.  A lot.  From professionals to aspiring writers to complete newbies.  Features and pilots.  Specs and treatments.

And 8 times out of 10 the fan fic that I’ve read over the last, oh, 15 years is leagues better than this stuff.  It’s more inspired.  It’s more compelling.  It’s genre bending and creative and heartfelt.  It’s well-paced and intense and funny and sexy and meaningful.  It’s smart and thoughtful and good.  It’s novel-quality.  Better than, sometimes.

Rare is the script I don’t want to put down, but how often have we stayed up until 3am to get to the last chapter of a 100k fic? And it’s not even a fan fic author’s day job.  This is what they do on the side.  In their spare time.  For free.

So my point is, fan fic authors, you’re good.  You’re good writers and great storytellers.  I know it doesn’t always feel like it, especially if you’re one of the authors who’s not a BNF and doesn’t get the notes/hits that a few do.  And  because some people still view fic as “not real writing.” You guys know the shit that gets made into movies.  You’re better than that.  So be better than that.  If writing is what you think want to do, then just know you’re already doing it.   You’ve already started.

And you’re more talented than you might think.

Hey, I need a bit of advice. I'm kindof new to writing, and I know that there's a lot of stuff that goes into writing before you start the story, such as building the characters etc. Do you have like a basic overview of the things that should definitely be done before I try to write things out into a story? Also, what is a character arc and how do I write one? I hope this ask makes sense.

Hi!

There is so much going into a story. But this is not the format to analyse every little detail of it and you also just wanted a basic overview before you start, so here it is.

Basic overview: How to write a story?

Theme

What kind of story do you want to tell?

What do you want to write about?

What genre do you want to write in?

What is your target audience?

Is there a message you want to convey?

Specific issues you want to highlight?

What narrator do you want to tell the story?

 Structure

Before you start you need a rough idea on where to start and where to end

Beginning

Who is there in the beginning and where are they?

Ending

Who is still left and where do they end up?

Bear in mind that a story doesn’t need a happy ending, it just needs a satisfying one

Middle part (you don’t need to know this in detail)

you just need a few scenes to make a timeline

you need to kind of know how to get from the beginning to the end

you will need ups and downs and twists

Some major plot points for the middle part

Places/stops

Plot twists

When and how does the MC meet the other characters?

Key scenes to further the plot

A few scenes you already know you want to have in the story

Characters

How to create a character? (Tips for creating and developing characters)

Who is your MC?

How many MCs do you have?

How many important characters do you need?

Character arc – your character can’t stand still; they need some kind of drive or problem that is a change to what their life was before

You have to send them on a journey, they have to overcome things you threw in their way

At the end of the story something has to have changed for them

 This is just some basic stuff, so if you or anyone else wants some part of this a little bit more detailed let me know.

Hello!! Love ur prompts so cute and inspiring! I was wondering if I can request some prompts for A and B who are both like really tough people who slowly start falling for each other? Like theyre two people who dont usually open up and has walls but they have soft spots for each other?

prompts for characters who are slowly

falling in love

prompt list by @novelbear (hope you enjoy anon!)

quick glances that turn into a longing, admirable gaze

^ having to snap out of it when the other turns their head/when they begin to question how they managed to zone out like that

overthinking everything as this whole crush/love thing is new to them (ex. am i texting too much?, i shouldn't have said that.., what if i creeped them out?)

"thanks." "for what?" "for sharing that with me. it made me feel a little better."

the hesitation before making any physical contact (like hand-holding, hugging, or even just placing an arm over their shoulder)

"my door is always open." "seriously?" "for you, yes."

watching their camera roll get full of the other as they spend more and more time together

testing the waters by leaning into them while lying down and feeling ecstatic when they're welcome with open arms (literally)

"you do know i'm here to listen, right? no judgement here..."

"this is all new to me, im sorry." "me too, [name], don't worry. we're in this together."

kisses that start out really careful/cautious, but turn passionate and comfortable with time

"i just wanted to hear your voice.."

laughing together. and i mean out of breath, stomach aching, tears and all.

hugs being more drawn out

"i really, really like spending time with you." "i like spending time with you too."

noticing that silence between the two is comfortable rather than awkward

"you love me?" "yeah, i do." "i love you too..."

[plvtoandmoon]

“i wanna hold your hand” - excuses for your characters to hold hands

prompt list by @novelbear

"your hands are cold...let me warm them up for you."

taking advantage of the fact that they're walking through a crowded place and holding their hand so that they "don't get lost"

maybe they get slightly jealous while out, so they grab onto their partner's hand to establish their relationship

"something's on your finger. give me your hand, let me see.."

mentioning that they want to compare hand sizes

pinky promising over everything so that it's easier to naturally intertwine their fingers with the others'

"okay, but if i'm right then you have to hold my hand!" "that's not much of a punishment but alright babes, whatever you say."

"can you hold this for me?" "there's nothing in your hand." "exactly."

going in as if they're just innocently fiddling with the other's fingers, then trapping them about thirty seconds later

making the effort to find where their partner is and dragging them by the hand rather than just calling them over to where they wanted them in the first place.

"you need me to hold your hand so you can read the instructions?" "it helps me concentrate!"

grabbing onto the other's hand out of nervousness

slowly intertwining fingers while the other is driving

"they always hold hands and rub it in everyone's faces, i want us to look cute too!"

going on a rant about how much they love to hold hands, hoping that the other would take the hint and offer

"can you hold my hand?" "of course, my love."

[plvtoandmoon]

“say you won’t let go” - some touch starved scenarios

prompt list by @novelbear

heart pounding whenever the other does so much as to hold onto their wrist while guiding them through a crowd

one just casually sitting down on the other's lap and they start internally freaking the hell out

hesitantly tugging the other's fabric of their shirt or sleeve, testing the waters

^^ the other notices so they pull them into a hug, smiling as they just watch them melt

"wait, don't go, please.."

"is this okay?" "it's more than okay."

already barely holding it together as they're getting their hand held but then they feel that reassuring squeeze and they just can't

wearing the others' clothes so that it can at least feel like they're hugging them, even for just a moment

feeling so lonely that they have to call their lover/friend, just to get a sense and reminder that they're still there

^ trying and failing to hold back their tears as they do so

"can i have one more hug?" "aw, babe you don't have to ask, c'mere..."

when the other holds onto their waist briefly as they're passing by and it just send chills down their spine

breaking down mid-hug because they just needed this so much

their breath hitching whenever the other gets a little closer

^ feeling crushed when that action is taken as a sign of discomfort, and they watch them slowly back off

holding onto a stuffed animal/pillow, imagining that it's their lover in their embrace instead

one leaning their head onto the other's shoulder suddenly and they just freeze

"i wasn't sure how much longer i could have taken this..."

[plvtoandmoon]

don’t deserve her - elijah mikaelson

Y/N sighs, yet another fight with her boyfriend Stefan.

The fights never seemed to stop ever since he met a certain Gilbert.  

She looks down at her phone, thumb hovering over his contact number before clicking it and bringing the phone to her ear.

"Y/N? Are you alright? It's quite late."

"Hey, Lijah."

"You sound upset, did Stefan say something again?"

Y/N sighs, kicking a rock, "No..."

"You don't have to lie to me, sweetheart."

"I know, I know..."

"Where are you?"

Y/N looks around, "Not sure, Stefan left me on the side of the road."

Elijah grumbles, "I'm coming to get you."

In seconds she hears him appear behind her, "You always find me so quick."

Elijah grins, pulling her in his arms, placing his suit jacket around her shoulders, "I'm sorry he left you out here."  

Y/N shrugs at her boyfriend's words, "It's alright."  

Elijah sighs, placing a soft kiss on her forehead, "We should go away, just us."

"What about Ste-"

"No, he doesn't deserve you. You are mine, only mine."    

Y/N smiles softly, "Stefan would kill us if we left."

"I don't care, he's not for you. Let's go home."  

****

Stefan stormed into the home of Elijah Mikaelson, "Elijah! We need to talk!"

The suited original smirks before walking down the grand staircase and seeing the Salvatore seething.

"What do you need Stefan?"

"I thought we agreed to share her?"

Elijah sighs fixing his tie, "Yes well that was before you hurt her... again."

Stefan scoffs, "I did not hurt her, she was pissing me off."

"You left her in the middle of nowhere."

"So? She's fine."

Elijah scoffs before speeding him against the wall, holding him against his neck, "It is the middle of winter Stefan, and if you didn't know, she is human, she could have easily gotten frostbite or hypothermia."  

"Well, she shouldn't have interfered with Elena and I."

"Interfered? She was your girlfriend Stefan, Y/N was your girlfriend, not Elena. Now I suggest you leave and never come back or else you find you no longer have a head."  

Stefan scrambles from the original's hold before speeding out of the home.

Elijah smirks at his fear before hearing the quiet ringing of his phone.

Before he answered it he checked the contact name only to smile, "Sweetheart?"

"Hey, Lijah."

"What are you doing sweetheart? I thought you were in bed."

Y/N smirks on the other end of the phone, "I am... Though I seemed to have lost my clothing."

Elijah blushes slightly, gripping the phone tighter, "If you called just to get off on my voice, I am hanging up."

"Oh come on my sweet Elijah, I know you like it."  

"I would rather be with you when you are in a position such as this one."

"Then you better hurry up, or else I'll have to take matters into my own hands."

[plvtoandmoon]

his good girl - klaus mikaelson

"Hello love."

"Klaus! Towel! Out!"

The hybrid smiles before moving to sit on the girl's bed, "It's not anything I haven't seen before, sweetheart."

Y/N sighs, "Out."

"I don't think so love."

"You're so annoying, Nik."

Klaus smirks from the bed, not taking his eyes off the small towel covering her body, "I'm waiting sweetheart."

Y/N rolls her eyes before dropping her towel, about to put on a shirt but is stopped when a body appears at her back, "I don't think you'll be needing that, my love."

"Really Nik? Right now? It's 7 am."

The hybrid shrugs, a small grin on his face.

Y/N purses her lips, "Come here you big goof."

Klaus smiles before placing his lips on hers, "But I'm your goof."

"Mhm... all mine."

She feels his fingers trail down her bare thighs before picking her up, legs wrapping around his waist.

Their lips hovered in place -taking in the moment- before they meet once again.

She feels the back of her knees hit the edge of the bed before her back is pushed against the mattress.

She breathed out, feeling his lips against her neck, "Nik..."

The hybrid smiles against her neck, kissing down her chest, hands kneading her breasts.

Her back arches at his soft touches, feeling him go even lower, holding her thighs open as he places small kisses against her clit.

"Please- Nik-"

He smirks before his pointer finger trailed through her folds, "So wet for me."

His finger easily slides into her, feeling her clench around him as her eyes roll to the back of her head.

Her heartbeat skyrocketed at the feeling of his finger slowly going in and out, in and out.

Legs shaking by the time he adds a second, his free arm holding her hips down as he continues to ravish her.

He feels her clench around his fingers, "Good girl- that's a good fucking girl."  

Y/N moans at his words before coming undone on his fingers.

Though he didn't stop there, no, he kept going, fingers not stopping their assault on her pussy.

Tears build up in her eyes from the overstimulation, "You can give me another, can't you sweetheart?"

She nods, not able to give a verbal response.

His fingertips continuously hit her g-spot, listening to her heart skip a beat with every touch.

She cums in record time, feeling him lap up her juices before softly massaging her thighs, "Are you alright, my love?"

She nods, still not able to find the words, legs still shaking around him.

"You did so well, love," he murmurs as he kisses his way back up to her lips.

Y/N smiles softly against his lips, "I love you Nik."

Klaus smirks, "You didn't think we were done, did you?"

[plvtoandmoon]

are you wearing my shirt? - elijah mikaelson

Elijah had just come home after a long day of negotiating with a certain doe-eyed Gilbert after being undaggered.

He had offered his help in keeping her safe and all he got in return was a dagger in his heart.

It had taken everything in him not to kill her, but he knew the consequences would be severe if he did.

So as he walked through the quiet home he undid his tie, sliding off his shoes, before moving to his bedroom.

Though the second he entered the room he saw his girlfriend passed out in his bed.

He smiles before moving to sit on the edge of the bed, softly brushing the hair away from her face, "Sweetheart? Wake up, love."

His heart flutters when he sees her soft green eyes open, "Hey, sweetheart."  

Y/N smiles, "You're back! I missed you, Lijah."

Elijah smiles feeling her arms wrap around his waist, face snuggling into his neck.

Though when he looks down he notices her choice of clothing, "Are you wearing my shirt?"

Y/N smiles, a small blush covering her cheeks, "Maybe... it's comfy and it smells like you."

Elijah smirks before picking her up, "Be a doll and do a spin for me, won't you? You just look so adorable."

Y/N smiles doing a small spin showing off the white dress shirt with only two buttons done up showing almost everything.

The original glances at her chest before looking back up at her eyes, "It smells like me?"

"Mhm, you smell nice."

Elijah smiles, his finger moving down to the buttons slowly undoing them, "You missed me?"

"Mmm... yes."

In seconds the shirt is gone and she is left in nothing, the cold air bringing goosebumps to her skin.

"No panties, how naughty. Almost as if you knew I was coming home."

Y/N smiles innocently, "I don't know what you're talking about, Eli."

The original purses his lips before lifting her up, legs wrapping around his waist, "Well if you're so innocent you wouldn't mind helping me, it seems as if my fingers are paralyzed, I can no longer undress myself."

"You didn't seem to have much trouble undressing me."

"Yes but that was before the paralyzation."

Y/N smiles before undoing the buttons of his black dress shirt before pushing it off his shoulders, watching as it falls to the ground.

Elijah smiles before speeding her to sit on the edge of the bed, before motioning to his pants, "I still need some help."

The girl looks up, eyes wide before slowly undoing his belt, then the button and then the zipper before seeing the black dress pants fall to the ground.

"Are you okay with this, sweetheart?"

Y/N nods a small smile on her face before standing up once again, kissing along his chest, "More than okay."

murder ploys - kol mikaelson

Y/N sighed when she saw her boyfriend of two years walk into their apartment, "What did you do this time?"

Kol smiles, blood dripping from his chin, "Nothing..."

"Kol you are covered in blood which means you either slaughtered a town or pissed someone off..."

Kol smiles, "Why do you always assume it was my fault?"

Y/N smiles before moving closer to him, brushing his hair away from his face, "Because 90% of the time it is."

Kol moves his hands to her waist, touching the soft exposed skin, "In my defence, I really wanted to."

The girl shakes her head a small smile on her face, "Have I ever told you how annoying you are?"

Kol grins, "Once or twice. Now come on, shower time."

Y/N shakes her head once again, "This was all a ploy to get me naked, wasn't it?"

Kol smiles innocently, "I don't have a clue as to what you're talking about, darling."
