you know how sometimes authors will be like ‘I really put poor booboo through the blender this chapter yall :((((( I feel super bad, it’s back to the scheduled fluff and found family shenanigans right after I promise! it’s important to the plot I have to do this /(T-7)/‘ and it turns out they have a non-major disagreement with someone for like half the chapter? And then other authors will say, ‘little angst warning for this chap my lovelies! :3c <33333 I had a random idea at the store and it doesn’t do anything for the plot or character development but I just HAD to do it!’ and it’s the most soul wrenching tear flowing torturous stab to the chest with a rusty nail you’ve ever experienced?

yeah.

Hey! I love the way you write and I love you so much. That's why I'm asking for advice on developing an idea for a One Piece AU that has to do with gangs and motorcycles. I don't know how to express it since the idea came from a dream but the image of Luffy on a motorcycle just won't leave my head. How did you manage to develop your story? Is it by making point-based statements or something like that for writers? This would be my first fanfic but I really really want to write it.Sorry if the writing is messy, I don't speak English so the translator is helping me.

The image was created with AI but the essence of the idea I have is like this.

My go-to and favourite way to plan out stories is what I call the cumulative method.

Worlds and stories feel so much more lived in and well thought out if you give yourself time and space to think about the different parts of it and all the moving pieces that go into the story — so my best piece of advice is to just write down every idea you have about it whenever you have one. If you have a cool thought before you're about to fall asleep, write it down. If you're outside walking and see a sign or something that gives you can idea, write it down. Just compile all the little thoughts and details as you go, even when you're not actively planning out the overarching plot or themes or story. Write down moments you want in the story even if you won't know where, write down funny or sad one-liners you want to use, write down everything.

I have all my notes organized into sections of my story (like a different note for each arc) and just whatever I want to happen in it in a vaguely chronological order. Starting with jot note ideas and filling in the space around them totally works, you don't have to know every detail of your plan before you start working either — some of the best parts of your story might be things you improvise while you're writing. I tend to jump right into writing before planning and then grow my plan around whatever happens on the page, but however you go about your own is up to you.

Wow that got long. Tldr; write all your ideas as you go even when you aren't focusing on your story and you'll be fine. Good luck and happy writing!

as someone who lives in america I feel like the international peoples take our freshman/sophomore/junior/senior thing for schools a little to seriously? Like usually we call them ninth/tenth/eleventh/twelfth, it’s like if you had a dog you call Fufu Chichi but introduce them by their full legal name, Francis Charleston the Second

hey I know this is probably blatantly incorrect but I just watched wicked and I’ve decided to hc that the prince dude doesn’t get knocked out by the poppies cause he’s done lots of drugs referencing to the fact he’s been to lots of parties and clubs and knew the scene in a place he hadn’t even been anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk

writing advice for characters with a missing eye: dear God does losing an eyes function fuck up your neck. Ever since mine crapped out I've been slowly and unconsciously shifting towards holding my head at an angle to put the good eye closer to the center. and human necks. are not meant to accommodate that sorta thing.
