#hi <3#I am going to go write about silly little pokemon characters now and see if I can get my brain to do something#the dnd stuff has broken a years long writing block it’s actually incredible I’ve not been able to write any more than a few hundred words#since I was like? 14? bc it’d broken by the time I did gcse english jesus#and in the past week I’ve banged out#17000 WORDS. WHAT#WAIT THIS ISNT EVEN A WEEK ITS BEEN FOUR DAYS#and it’s great!! bc it’s not good writing! it’s not trying to be! it’s instantly taken off all the pressure#because the point here is just to play a lil game and write down what’s happening#which means a substantial amount of those wordcounts are combat encounters but like. they’re narrated.#I’m figuring out what my character sounds like and how he responds to things#and I’m figuring out how to make words read a certain way and how to get the right feeling but it’s literally just a throw shit at the wall#and see what sticks#bc it’s for me! and that’s it! and it’s writing a dumb little story abt a guy getting his ass handed to him by a giant spider!#so fundamentally unserious that perfectionism brain just turned off instantly it’s incredible#it sounds silly but I might start like. rolling some dice and shit for other writing#bc I like two days before I started dnd stuff I came up with an idea for a pokemon fic that’s been what I’ve been looking for forever#and I could like. roll some dice to get past decision paralysis. it’s also been great at forcing me to make bad things happen#I will NOT learn pokerole to write this fic that’s the devil talking but I might do it for fun anyway#ANYWAY IM GONNA GO DO THAT NOW#this post started off bc I wanted to scream and turned out pretty sweet. bringing that to 2025#luke.txt
