#i'm just a very slow writer

[galaxywhump]

Hey anon! Just wanted to let you know that I got your request and it's on my to-do list ❤️

[deancaslover]

Does writing book reviews is hard or do I just suck at this writing stuff?

[raetttriestowrite]

Me, an author, side eyeing my WIP: you're not going to do anything weird, are you? We've discussed this. There's a plan. We're going to stick to the plan, aren't we?

The WIP: *presents subplot, presents additional conflicts, presents character development, laughs in my fucking face*

[love-bokumono-fics]

We've got another scant week of fresh crops, so I'm taking it upon myself to assign some completely voluntary homework:

Writers: Your assignment this week is to open up one of your WIPs and write seven new sentences. Not edit seven sentences. It's far too easy to open up a document, make a few edits, and call it writing. Particularly if you're stuck in the mire of writer's block. But write seven, whole, brand new to the story sentences.

If you don't have any WIPs, then challenge yourself and try to write a Seven Sentence Story. Challenge yourself to see what you can convey in a limited space. See how far you can really stretch one sentence by making it a run-on to end all run-ons.

Readers: Your assignment this week is to leave comments. Either challenge yourself to leave a seven sentence comment on a story, or leave comments (of whatever length) on seven different stories. Whether you find new stories or go back into your bookmarks and history to comment (or re-comment) on a favorite story is up to you.

For Extra Credit: Do both! Writers, don't forget to encourage others in the fandom. You know how much a comment can mean to you, imagine how much it might mean to someone else. Let's remember that fandom is a community, and creativity flourishes in encouraging environments. Readers, step into the shoes of a writer and try a Seven Sentence Story. I don't care if you've never written anything creatively before, or you think you can't write. It's seven sentences, it won't hurt you to try. Even if you never share it, that's a story you made that nobody else could have. Rejoice in that!

I don't know the story isn't finished yet. It was so sad, *sniff* I love you guys, promise me you guys would stick together, even when ryder is gone *she kept crying and hugging marshall tightly*

Sure, but-- can you please-- go easy, I can't breathe--!!

Please, don't kill Marshall, you'd be killing the point of us staying together no matter what!

If it counts as anything, unless something bad happens, which we'll always make sure it won't get to it, I don't think we would outlive Ryder anyway. We're dogs, after all... But I don't intend to leave, unless everyone will decide to go somewhere else, then I'm going with them. I like to think we're a big mixed family and we'll stick together to the end.

I wouldn't leave this team even if I wanted, and I'm the one with a family I could go back to, so don't worry about that! And if anything would ever happen to Ryder, we'll have Katie to care for us. We won't ever be alone, okay?

Try to think of it like this, it's a FANmade fiction. People are very creative, sometimes they decide they want to put characters to the test, make them go through heavy stuff and see what happens. If you'd like to have something nice to read about us, I can recommend "The Paw Patrol Family", which is being written by a good friend of our Mod! There's two chapters so far and it's very wholesome, so if you'd like to counter the sadness caused by the fanfic you read before, that would be my go-to!

Going to bed. Tomorrow's Halloween! It'd be so nice though if I could finish the outline for the book I wanted to write in November. Don't know if I said it here, but I'm doing NaNoWriMo in November but like, not officially lol. Just a writing challenge with my sisters. I want to start something new. But, so far, my outline is so-so. I do have an outline for the sequel to this other book, but I just want to work on something new. Like a very self-indulgent paranormal romance or something like that.

Fic snippet #1: VegasPete

Pete squirming below him almost satisfies him, almost makes that suffocating feeling in his chest disappear. He's pleading for Vegas to stop, he shouts that he can't breathe, he apologizes. Everything falls on deaf ears; Vegas doesn't give a shit, he's killed men for nothing before, what makes Pete any different? All of that is true until- "Dad…please stop…" Vegas lets go of his neck like he got struck by lightning and almost falls off the bed.

[icewindandboringhorror]

Apparently I can meet my goal of roughly 400,000 words in 6 months if I just somehow write at least 2,200 words a day ghbjh... Almost 2,500 today... huzzah...

[bigmilk-13]

I've been thinking about it for a long time (a week) to finally write another TDWP fanfic.

Right cool.

Just this time it's multi chapter, with a full blown plot and everything, and kinda my au/canon divergence.

It's set 20 years after Andy's left Runway in Paris. She worked for the Mirror as a fashion reporter, then flew up in the ranks and became Co-Editor in Chief.

However, the sponsors withdrew and the Mirror ended up falling into bankruptcy, yada yada- five years later she's unemployed again.

Over that time at the Mirror, she came back into contact with her godmother (whole other backstory, might write about it after I finish this fic), Floriana who works at Style Queen (yes I added another fashion magazine, from the MLB universe tho) and she helps her get a job as a Fashion Reporter at The New York Times.

Again, flies up through the ranks- Fashion Editor, then Sr. Fashion Editor. Then heading more into the politics department, she finds herself being the head- they being offered the Editor In Chief job.

This all seems to happen rather quickly,but it actually takes the remaining 15 years and I won't be going over it much in the story but this is just some background character building.

Sounds a bit boring and uncharacteristically Andy right? Not really no. That work on the Janitors Union she did was, politics really. And it makes sense that after Runway, she wants to be into fashion more and more. Just to impress Miranda.

She's finally Editor In Chief, and gets an invitation to go to the Paris Fashion Week. And of course she has to go, I mean she was a fashion correspondent- no one can do it as well as she can.

Oh my god that sounded like something Miranda said in the movie.

Anyway- of course she then realises that she'll have to meet Miranda again. It's too late to leave now.

And that's when the story starts!

And as a sneak peak I'll tell you that it starts with Andy overthinking on a bridge over the Seine.

Oh and her hotel is opposite Miranda's!

Tell me if anyone's interested in this, I'll try dedicate every chapter to any fans.

Decided I need to get back to Not Doing a Single Fucking Productive Things Some Days and settled into some gaming. ...Out of all of the games I have, I elected for a replay of Devil May Cry 5. .............I may not get writing done tonight after all.

Incredibly unrelated, a vague description of an intriguing dream just because.

Driving out of the city in a light rain. Miles and miles, from city street to country road to dirt path until the end. Tasked with observing the town where the storm was heading, but not interfering. Even as the clouds grew darker and began to swirl, we were only to observe.

"Careful touching the metal doors." The driver warned. "We don't know when the lightning could start." The air was charged with it as the clouds got darker, blocking out the sky and feeling like they were drawing the very life out of the world.

Everyone else went inside, away from the storm. I stayed outside as the rain became torrents and drummed rhythms and steady, cold, support. Stay outside, stay with me, watch.

Take your time, there is no rush, I am glad you share your wonderful works of fiction with us.

Thank you, I really appreciate the patience and encouragement! <3

[psalmsofpsychosis]

I dont think at this point i can even start on classic literature if i tried, like, i have absolutely zero patience for stories that take their goddamn time "building up" to things. "give exposition talk and show your characters doing everyday things" girl only if the everyday things contribute to the theme of the story! I dont have an ounce of interest in traditional idle starting points, "this story takes awhile to warm up and nothing happens for 45 pages" lmao bye

[happi-tree]

happy wipweds, everybody! i am back on my swiftli bullshit once again hehe :]c this little piece actually belongs to the same fic as this one that i posted a few weeks back. taylor's having a tiny case of the ouchies

[yellowloid]

turns out i wasn't in a very bad writing slump (or at least not entirely) it was just the wrong fic at the wrong time. started impulse-writing a very quick very fluffy one-shot this afternoon and i'm basically almost done with it

[boxwinebaddie]

Miss Ninaa!! When are you free for the summer???

hello, sweetling! and good morning, good afternoon or good night wherever it is that you are. <3 regardless of the time of day, please just know that the world around you is brighter bc you're in it. c':

so i just want to start out by saying that i know i say this a lot...but i cannot tell you what it means to me that you guys care enough about me to be curious about the trajectory of my offline life.

...like, i really just have the sweetest anons in the world, huh? ;-;

i feel unbelievably blessed and count my lucky stars everyday because of each and everyone of you. thank you for being your lovely, lovely selves and caring not only about me as a person but my silly and strange au styles from hell.

speaking of, i am aware that it does not seem like it because of how sporadically i post ncu related content ( if at all ) but i am trying to work on some stuff...as you know well by now, i like to really take my time putting out my work because the quality of the content that you read is paramount to me. you are all far too near and dear to my heart to receive lame, rushed, unclear boof ass content from me.

like...i simply will not do it. thank you for your paitence.

( i will say that i am specifically working on an ask about the greenhouse kiss which AAAAAA giggling, twirling my hair and kicking my feet, like it is SOOOOO satisfying, holy shit! it's also very, very important to the plot which is why i have been taking my time on it. i do hope to put it out today but i am trying not to make promises that i can't keep, get your hopes and dreams up just to dash them and most unfortunately, i do not have a great track record in that regard. i know it's kind of a bummer...but i like to be honest w/ y'all. )

ANYWAYS!

without further ado, here's a little glimpse into my life. xx

again, thank you for asking...that is very cute of you. c': <333

( this is lengthy and lowkey irrelevant. you can absolutely skip this but i think that i am pretty informative in here, so it might be useful? idk. )

so actually, my summer is pretty busy and jam-packed for the most part! or, the first two months are, at least. because i decided to take on summer camp here at the school i work on! camp counsellor nina!

i decided to nab a summer camp supervising position for a couple of reasons. like, obviously, teaching does not pay that much, so really, i need to make all the money i can while i can. don't worry about me tho, guys. bc actually am doing extremely well for myself. <333

( i am a very lucky person, haha -- god nerfed me by being mentally ill, but did make me pretty and personable...which gets me far in life. on the topic of mental illness [ of which i am very ] today i should fare quite well bc other than having a mild headache and being lowkey naseous because my mood stabilizer has that side effect for me...it is worth it when i rem(ember) to take it because it makes me very calm and level, so i am better at responding to my asks/doing my tasks. )

another reason is it keeps me busy...when i am not constantly busy, i get very depressed and fall into gnarly sprials. my job has a lot of downtime and when i am not running around like crazy because a bunch of teachers are out, i'm bored as fuck and i get lazy or restless.

very lame...this summer, i will be looking for a different job ( fml, if you are my boss, don't read this ) and i am a bad procrastinator so i missed the deadline for a fuck ton of teaching positions, but hopefully i can find something in the realm of associate or assistant teaching because....lmao, point and laugh but i am still a little too nervous to teach a whole class by myself. if kids get disadvantaged academically because i am too incompetent at teaching, i will die.

but yeah...if i am still babysitting fourteen year olds after this ( they did grow on me, but it's really not my speed ) please also point and laugh because i would rather go back to retail...yes, i am desperate.

on the subject of teaching kids that are in my wheelhouse and doing stuff my speed, summer camp is actually all k-5 so i will FINALLY being doing a majority of my teaching in the age group that i have my literal credential in. YAY! it's going to be hot as shit where i am over the summer, probably also tiring as shit ( have you seen how little kids act in the summer? ) but i am so fkn exCITED to work with the littles HEEEEELLL YES, BROTHER! uncle nina will be Vibing! <333

so for the first four weeks i am doing general camp stuff, getting a feel for stuff and wokring with all the grade levels...but the LAST two weeks, i get to specifically associate teach in the kindergarten classroom and AAAAAAAA!!!!! I FKN LOVE THE KINDERS!!!!! i visit them every other day because, again, i am bored as shit and they need help over there so i usually hang out with them in PE and play hula hoop tag with them...rn they are learning how to jump rope. soooo stinking cute, oh my god.

-- BUT YES I AM SOOOOO FREAKING STOKED YOU GUYS LIKE I WAS MADE FOR THIS BROTHER. i am gonna wear so many crazy outfits and do such weird makeup pray it doesn't melt off my face.

also, during camp, they go on little field trips and things, hopefully swimming, ( uncle nina is mermaid nina ) and feed you the same stuff as the campers so i get to eat like a nasty frat boy and have pizza and pasta and stuff, which, let me tell you, i am genuinely stoked because they cater a free lunch for the faculty here everyday and it's supposed to be all fancy and shit...but there is a reason it's free because it is SOOOO mid. like it really is kind of ass. i don't know how they do that.

but, sigh, camp is only six weeks so i have to fill my time with other stuff ( also i guess that means in six weeks from when school is done on june...14th, i think? i am free? ) i hope to use that time to structure the fuck out of my life, planf or the future because i am hella bad at it and i hope to do a lot of writing! kind of a pipe dream at this point becaue all my stuff has been *british tolkien vc* actual shite and i can't finish anything...but maybe when i feel better, writing will come easier? when i am less busy and stressed? i hope so. and i hope you guys are still around if i am here but i Completely understand if you are not! it's been a long, bumpy ride. you did your dues and you are free to step off at any time. again, i do not blame you. i am annoying.

BUT YEAH! that's my summer for you! summer camp, hanging out with my cat ( her name is lily, she is very beautiful, very kind, very fluffy and dumb as rocks but she is my babygirl ), getting lots of sushi, going to the thrift store, doing self care stuff, doing less self harm in various odd forms specifically in the form of self sabotage, getting my life together and organized, finding a new job, bettering myself and the world, being kind, entertaining all of you and hopefully writing again! yay! i'll update you as much as i can.

and please, please, pleeeease update me on your lives! i know i don't always respond, but i read everything. my friend who won FIRST PLACE for her raven sculpture, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU BABY. my friends who unfortunately went through breakups, i am so sorry, please know it is their loss, you are stronger for it and i hope you heal, but if ravesey can...you can baby. also proud of my various friends going to college and my friends that are not! my friends toiling through their lame jobs and my friends who are dipping their toes in the world of creativity through writing, drawing expressing yourself! i love, love, LOVE you! thank you for sharing your lives with me.

( speaking of friends, i am specifically hoping to spend my summer bonding with my rant girlies and we made a little group chat and we are being so funny and chaotic and unhinged. i love them all so bad. )

BUT YEAH! thank you for asking my love! look out for some important in character asks, hopefully some finished or more distinguished writing and know that if i am not responding or posting, it is not because i lost interest...as you can see, i am very busy, especially as the school year approaches an end, my summer is a little busy, i fall into ugly manic/depressive cycles and am working on taking care of myself...offline. thank you for understanding.

and thank you for being here! you are troopers, forreal! you are angels and saints for putting up for me and enduring me never posting or posting really chaotic weird stuff. i love you. thanks for caring. <3

i love you and i hope you heal,

uncle nina, future ceo of glamour girl summer camp <3

P.S. i am specifically working on developing and post more about my other aus because i want to give you some variety and challenge myself to do stuff out of my comfort zone! so if you are excited at all about the tsot/tfbw nina stuff, please make some NOOOOISE! lol and if you are not i totally get it, but if you could give me gentility and grace, i would appreciate it because i'm insecure abt it. MWAH!
