Writer positivity tag
Thanks @lola-theshowgrl for the tag, thinkin we could all do with a little more positivity!
1. What motivates you to write?
Well you've got the good of fulfilling a creative need/want. The sense of "oh man I wish I could do that" and then just actually doing it. And adding something to the world that maybe somebody else might enjoy.
But, there's also the reasoning of helping me work through some stuff and keeping me grounded when the brain juice machine breaks. I picked writing up more consistently when I was between jobs and in a pretty dark place. Also when I am feeling overstimulated or just there is just T O O M U C H going on, I can slip away and guide that energy towards something rather than letting it sit and cause my atoms to vibrate out of existence.
2. A line/short snippet of your writing that you are most proud/happy of. If not maybe share a line of someone else's work you love (just please credit them)
So this is from the second story with Hank and Mikey, idk, when I was writing it out I couldn't help but giggle. I did change it a little as the flow wasn't quite right before.
~
As the man’s head slowly loomed down into view his expression changed from a confident sneer to a confused frown. Pointed right between his eyes was the barrel of a sawed-off shotgun. His eyes traced it up to the hand holding it, up the arm, then all the way to Hanks beet red face and burning eyes.
“I-” the man started to say.
“Merry Christmas, get the fuck out.”

3. Which OC makes you smile every time you think/talk about them and what are they like?
Hank/Mikey. I don't write too much about them, as they are pretty recent. But, they are just a couple of dudes who love each other and weird shit just keeps happening to them. They occupy a place in my writing brain when I want to write something spooky but silly, where the victim ends up being the monster causing the problem.
They aren't monster hunters or anything, they just get out of dodge by pure dumb-shit luck. Like hitting a monstrous deer with a baseball bat.
4. What process of writing do you enjoy the most?
Starting with an idea and then just having the characters take it over and watching where it all goes from there. Also, making accidental metaphors, there have been a couple of times I've gotten done writing and had a lightbulb moment of "oh I did something there without thinking"
An example: When Alex goes to see Dave they transmute their body into a porcelain like material. I had originally thought of it like a doll and doll master thing, but Dave is a being or more order and regulations and the porcelain could represent the outwardly beautiful but ultimately very fragile nature of order and laws.
5. What part of writing do you think you are the best at? (Yes stroke your own ego it's okay)
I think I write pretty decent dialogue. Maybe not the most profound but I feel like I get the timing and flow of a natural conversation pretty well. If anything else I let the character of the, well, character come through in their words.
6. What is something in the writeblr community is most enjoyable?
Honestly I really like these tag games, they keep me on my toes and actually writing. That and it gives me a chance to put little tidbits out there for people to see and maybe come check me out.
7. A writing tool/device you use that helps you with writing? (It could be speech to text, a writing program etc)
Bruh I just use google docs so lol idk. If I had to answer, laptop. It frees up a lot of space and ability to do my own thing when my partner wants to use the computer.
8. A piece of worldbuilding that you like in your own story? (It could be the magic system, a particular place in the story, a law etc)
It is super simple but how is Rituals and Red Tape, the eldritch cults/nature of the The Board is only comprehensible to those under them as a big ass office culture. They are not your master but your Boss and you aren't a cult member you are an employee. I don't think I'll end up going into too great of detail in the writing but this is based on a misunderstanding between The Board and their first batch of Dreamers, and it just kind of has continued on like that because it works for everyone.
9. What piece of advice would you say to encourage others to write if they are having a rough patch?
Write slop. Write actual garbage. It doesn't ever have to see the light of day or even the next automatic saving. But, if you are trying to commit to working on a project, the moment you start to lose that drive to write, STOP. I've often closed the document mid sentence or even mid word. Just save it, and close it, don't debate, just close.
10. Tag some people whose works you love/have been your biggest supporters
@asterhaze @dragonscantbetamed @monstrousfreedom @tailoroffates @toribookworm22 - and as always anyone else who wants to added some positivity into their world.

we're mutuals so in my brains we're like friends that kiki lol
i forget that we literally dont know each other. anyway question ! how would u describe yourself ?
Hello mutual 👀
The Internet is a weird place, you can speak with someone so easily and find deep connections with thre other but the feeling of "I have no idea who this person is" always linger. But thinking about it now, some of my best and longest friendships started online and we are still friends after more than 10 years ☺️
To answer your (very difficult 😂) question mmmmhhh I'm a very very shy person irl at the level that I find difficult to look people in the eyes so first impression of me is always that I'm weird and a bit cold. Takes me a while to open myself to others. When people know my true form they seem to have fun around me, so I'm happy about that 😁 i love chatting online be because my shy self is not present and it's just me without inhibitions!
What I like about myself is that I genuinely like to help others as much as I can whe they need it, and I can find a positive part in any shitty situation. It helps me go through life.
Anyway all of this to say feel free to contact me! The wwdits fandom is full of cool people I'd love to know more about ❤️
