#this is not a writing exersise

[damnbluewires]

they think i'm joking when i say i want to live offgrid. that it's 'insane' and 'unrealistic', and that something is deeply wrong with me for wanting that in the first place.

perhaps.

but when i will have my own small farm, grow my own food, hunt and keep bees and chickens. when i disconnect from the agonies and horrors and drama of the 'real world'. when i allow myself to just be.

maybe you will change your mind.

and i will not gloat, my dear. i will only ask you if you want some craft beer, fresh meal, and a little ceremony burning your past.

it's okay.

i love you.

[100percentwhump]

a sleep deprived whumpee.

Begging whumper to let them sleep, even if only for a few minutes. Anything to get some semblence of energy back.

struggling so much to just stay upright, let alone move around. They do it anyways because whumper will make it so much worse if they disobey.

That dead look in their eyes, the way they struggle to think, like their brain has been deagged through molasses.

Collasping as soon as theyre safe, bonus points if its in caretaker's arms.

Alterbatively, doing everything to stay awake. Drinking caffine, doing exersise, cleaning. Anything to keep from drifting of into dreamworld. Because everytime they did that, it would hurt so much afterwards.

And nightmares! All that trama forcing its way into your brain, makeing dreams worse than reality, replaying all the awful things that happened to you, horribly disstorted with that terrifying dream filter.

I am indeed writing this very late at night why do you ask.

I need input on this idea

Ok so here is my idea. I have seen people write about different disabilities and I think it's a wonderful thing to do. It helps people with them feel more included and seen in fandom. I mention this because I want to write an x reader for one of my disabilities that often gets over looked as a disability. I have a lisp and I also stutter and stammer some times. For the most part people can't tell I have these problems because I went through speech therapy for most of elementary school and so I can kind of stop it but when I get overstimulated or excited I slip up and it can be hard to understand what I'm trying say.

My idea is writing a piece where the Reader has a speech impediment like mine and is self conscious of it. Doing things like staying quite when their excited, or slowing down the way they talk so they can enunciate words correctly. All of this of course is a result of past experiences with bullies and even family members making fun of how they talk. And which ever character reassuring them that there is nothing wrong with the way they talk and don't have to try so hard to hid such a key part of who they are or even offering to help them out with keeping up with there speech therapy exersises if thats what reader wants.

(i don't know which way I want it to go yet)

The input I need is who to write this with. I'm not sure which character to write this with so I figured I'd give some choices and hopefully y'all could help me pick.

(I am open to suggestions for other characters as long as they are on my will write for list)

For the one-shot asks - 3, 7, 10, 20, 22 - Walking Mojo

Sorry this answer is late! I didn't see the ask at the time and then had to find the original post! 😆

3. What are some tropes or details that you think are very characteristic of your fics?

In most of them there is some aspect of hurt/comfort. Louis is almost always wanting to please and or protect Lestat. A detail that shows up so much in my fics is French. French words, French pronunciations or a character, Louis usually, speaking French. Often there is some kind of quote from the books that is in the fic, or inspired the fic. A lot of my fics are about some period of time that is just glossed over in the books.

7. Any worldbuilding you’re particularly proud of?

This is difficult. I don't know that I've ever done any world building in my VC fics. I tried to stick close to canon. And I actually used maps of New Orleans to make sure that if I had a character going somewhere in New Orleans, the streets are correct, and they lead to the right places.

Maybe that I tried to include Anne and Stan Rice in some of my fics to explain why her name is on the books and why she goes on book tours, to put her into the same world as the vampires.

Or possibly 1940s New York in Christmas in New York.

10. How do you decide what to write?

Usually when I was reading a book, I would come to a part that I would have questions about. Such as, what happened during that time, or what did the other character in this scene think and feel? The fics that are not covered by that were just a single idea I would have, and I would start writing to get everything in line to lead to this idea, or scene, then write what the idea/scene was, and then what it would cause the characters to do, and resolve the story.

20. If you wrote a prequel to [insert fic], what would it involve?

Since you wrote Walking Mojo, I assume that's the fic you'd like me to use for this and the next question.

The prequel to Walking Mojo would involve Louis going to visit Lestat who is packing and him tossing his key to Louis and assuming he will watch Mojo, because Lestat needs him to. Then Mojo and Louis getting to know each other. Louis reading books or doing research on the computer about what a dog needs ie. exersise, socialization, plenty of fresh water, etc. And figuring out how to give Mojo these things.

22. Who is your favorite character in Walking Mojo and why?

Well, Mojo, obviously! 😁

Thanks so much @persefoniajax for asking!

Please let me know if I have the wrong original post, because this one doesnt say anything about one-shot, but it was the first on i found, and if so I will answer the correct questions!

Story: Apocalypse

I can't escape this forever I need to post this

So this is a story that I have written based on a school exersise (please don't ask how it happened I'm confused myself)

I have versions in Russian and Ukrainian I can post them if you want (although they differ from one another because I changed the parts that I didn't like in initial version when translating)

TWs: brief mentions of smoking and alcohol, themes of loneliness and grief (please tell me if I missed anything)

My name is Anton. I live in Russia.

I returned to my city once again to get the books. Because I needed to fix a few things in my house.

I stepped in once beautiful city ark. I love my city and all these years I missed it! This city had absolutely everything.

I slowly walked across streets every place here is filled with memories:

Expensive shops where I bought new video games and cheap markets where I often helped my parents with buying groceries. The huge hospital where I was always afraid to go and the tiny pharmacy where my mom used to buy cough syrup. And bank where my older brother Misha worked.

My brother Misha…

I miss him so much.

Also there were office buildings where people in the suits worked. Cozy coffee shops where I often stopped to drink raspberry tea on cold fall evenings. Expensive restaurants where I hated going because everyone was so snobby. I used to think that they were robots when I was young.

Of course it’s not like any of this matters now…

I was tired after long way so I sat down on a cold, cracked asphalt. I pulled out water and took a few sips.

With all this I forgot to write today’s date in my notebook: November 3. Today is my birthday. I’m 23 now. I’m legally considered an adult.

I picked up a glass shard from the ground. I looked like an adult would too. My hair gathered in a short ponytail, a beard and a bruise from an unsuccessful shaving attempt.

But I’ve never felt like an adult. I’m not mature and I’ve never filed my taxes, never had a job, never smoked a cigarette, never drank alcohol, never got a driver’s license and I’ve never went to college.

Heck I’ve never even got past the 7th grade.

I closed my notebook and took a deep breath. I’ve still got a mission to complete.

I slowly stood up. After all these years I still remember the way to the library.

I was quite happy when I saw the building relatively untouched apart from a few broken windows. Inside the books were still on their shelves.

I started searching the shelves.

No not that and not that, not that, no, no, no… oh here it is.

Suddenly I heard a lot thud I threw my book in my backpack and ran towards the noise. I was ready to attack (or defend myself)

But I wasn’t really ready for this confrontation.

I saw a person, a living person for the first time in 9 years.

In the meantime the stranger noticed me and turned towards me putting his hands in defensive position.

He was wearing a sweater, black pants and boots. He had long hair and beard.

Suddenly I started to notice that he looked a lot like my brother. He had the same black, curly hair and green eyes. His bracelet was similar to the one I gave my brother back in the day. I wasn’t sure that it was him but still asked:

“Misha?” - was my question to him

“Anton!” - happily exclaimed my brother

He ran towards me and pulled me into the hug.

This was the happiest moment of my life.

I’m not alone in this world.

[biohazard-inevitable]

As someone who’s been writin since I was 10, or possibly even younger, and posting fanworks since 12 or 13, lemme share some advice from my years of learnin.

1.

In regards to where to share your stuff, wherever you feel most comfortable is best! For some thats here on tumblr, for others its wattpad or ao3. I got my start in postin over on wattpad, eventually moving to ao3 as I got older. Personally, i prefer ao3 since I really like its tagging system, and if you’re familiar with how to navigate the website, posting aint too hard either! So long as you tag your works properly using the system where you’re posting, you can really post wherever! Its up to personal preference at the end of the day

2.

Getting started is always the most daunting part, and especially if its your first time writing something, theres a good chance it probably will suck! I dont say that to be mean, but we all gotta start somewhere, and it’ll only discourage you if you expect it to be perfect the first time around. What really spurred me when I was younger, was I just wrote for myself! If you like somethin, and its in your brain, have fun with it! Doesnt matter how “cringe” it is. Write that overpowered mary sue, or that self indulgent smut piece, write it sloppy and unpolished with errors galore! Take inspiration from other works as well, if you like a word that somebody uses, try putting that in your works and see how you like it coming from your own mouth! Also good is to study sentence structure and grammar, as boring as it is its like the anatomy practice of writing.

Poetry practice and writing similies and metaphors can also help with creativity! If you’re just learning to put pen to paper and write like the wind, try doing the “10 minute word vomit” practice, where to take 10 minutes and write about anything and everything that pops into your brain during those 10 minutes. Write about your day, about that ship you cant stop thinking of, or even the word “salami” a hundred times. That’ll help you build the mental practice of writing from the heart and mind, and its a good warm up exersise!

3. Working with someone is great to build writing oractice! And rp is a great way to do it! I would rp a lot betwen the time when i didnt post fic publicly for a few years, and it really helped build character concepts. As scary as it is, it doesnt hurt to reach out to someone in the rp community and ask if they are willing to start one with you! Or if you already have friends that rp, thats great too! And it doesnt just have to be with prexisting characters, you can even dabble with ocs! The world is your oyster, you just gotta ask!~

So I have been thinking…

1. Where in the best place to start writing fanfic of my own??

2. How do I get started? I’m high key nervous it be ass and no one likes it.

3. I would also love working with someone to come up with writing honestly. (Really to build my own confidence)

4. All opinions are open please I’m not a bully 😂

[reversedreamtale]

Well this whole bodyswap sure is going to make things interesting

(im using it as a way to challege my writing skills. its kinda an exersise. if it doesnt work, i can just cut it out lol.)

[fan-of-everything-and-nothing]

Exercise?

I squeeze myself daily into a tiny cage turn around any get back out.

As loong as I don't get stuck...

I'm good

[cownnor]

1. 4. 30. And 41. Please. (◍•ᴗ•◍)

1. Favorite place to write.

the library. IT’s quiet, cozy, free of distractions (like minecraft) and has a coffee shop. When im at the library my brain goes into “get shit done mode”. It’s great. 

4. Do you have any writing rituals or habits?

Nah not really. i use Comic sans because it helps me and I also use pages tinted to light green so that i can stand staring at the page for longer. I tend to write for at least an hour at a time if not more. I usually get very hyperfocused about it for a good long while (perk of adhd) and once I’m going I dont like to stop. I dont really skip scenes either and i tend to go in chronological order. It helps me with motivation and also fluidity and pacing. When I skip around and write what I want everything gets choppy and whatnot. 

30. Favorite line you’ve ever written? 

I know that I have some but I cannot think of any right now and im also high and cant read so i am going to make a second post to this one with maybe a list of some of my favorite lines

41. How many stories do you work on at one time?

I try to keep it at one, but that never ever happens. If the idea is strong enough in my head, I will write it, no matter how many stories I already have going. I’ve also found that sometimes i crave being creative with my writing, and sometimes my current pieces don’t let me do that. So to solve I’ll generally start another short story to get the juices flowing. Usually something simple and sweet, to appease myself, but sometimes those little exersises explode into a whole other story (See: Static Skin)

The Matchmaking Cousin.

BenArmie modern au

Ben is an art student who meets and falls for a redheaded martial arts instructor allin the span of two hours.

Fair warning i suck at writing dialogue.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I loved writing it.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Ben walked to his mom's office at Alderaan Academy, she is the headmisstress of the school. He nodded to Poe who was working at his desk.

His hands still stained with dried paint from class. A cardboard cup holder in one hand and his phone in the other. He pushed open the door and walked in. He looked up and saw that his little cousin Rey was waiting for him. She gave him a bright smile as he handed her the Hot chocolate cup.

"Thank you Ben"

He promised to take her to her martial arts class after he was done with his own classes for the day.

He looked at his watch it read 14:30.

"Come on otherwise you are gonna be late if we don't go now" 

She grabbed her bag that had her uniform in it and almost sprinted to the door waving at Poe the assistant headmaster on her way out the door.

The drive over to the First Order dojo was reletivly quiet with little conversation and them singing along to the radio.

Walking into the building.Rey who handed him, her water bottle and went to change and he found seat by the parents of some of the other kids. 

After a while of scrolling through social media he looked up and saw a small crowd of uniformed children gathered around a similarly dressed instructor. 

Ben kept stairing at the redhead as he led his students through various exersises. As the class was winding down and the kids all left Ben was still stairing and didn't notice Rey standing next to him.

"You're gonna drool on the floor if you keep staring at him" 

Ben startled and dropped his phone with a clatter as Rey spoke a sly smile on her face. Ben felt himself blush for a ten year old she was pretty observant.

"Who is that"  Ben asked her 

"That is Armitage our new instructor,come on I'll introduce you to him" 

Ben began to protest but she started draging him over to the now named Armitage. 

Armitage looked at his star student Rey and the tall man with her as she dragged him over and with a smile introduced him as her cousin Ben who stammered through a greeting,and Rey ran off to join her friends as they talked for the last few minutes of class.

This time it was Armitage's turn to smile as he handed Ben a flyer for the competition that was being held the next week with his phone number and a small message scribbled in the corner, 'we can go out for coffee sometime - A.H'

"I hope to see you there" and watched as Ben turned red again, he folded the paper and stuck it into the pocket of his jacket. 

Leaving Armitage with a feeling of anticipation about when he was going to get a call from the tall artist.

-------------------------------------------------------------

If anyone was wondering Rey is about 10 in this and Hux knows who Ben is because they have some classes together.

And it does move to Hux's pov for the last 2 paragraphs.

This is just to clear some things up so that nobody is left confused.

[shitravenclawssay]

One of the most Ravenclaw things I've done was this spring when we had this PE assignment. We were supposed to exersise for about eight weeks and write about it (planning, evaluation of exersising every week and a total evaluation), and it was a big part of our grade. I decided that I didn't want to do the exersising, so I bullshitted the entire thing the last week before the deadline and ended up with okay marks.

that’s so much work for PE?? all we ever did was play badminton lmfao

[chocoholicannanymous]

Someone over at @productivityhour called a productivity weekend. I’m going to keep my list short again, as I’d like to focus on relaxing. (So, no adding the things from school that I know I could do.)

getting my steps in/exersising

some food prep for the coming weeks

get my school papers in order instead of a pathetic wobbling pile

try and finish a sock, or at least get closer to doing it

write at least an hour

stretch, dammit

Not too taxing, and definitely within my abilities  to get done while still enjoying a calm weekend.

[yksinlento]

Day 60-72 days of productivity (starting today, ending 12/1) - zero productivity, lots of vacation. Tomorrow I’m going to GB, very low in mood and uncertain of everything.

Main goal is to exersise Hangul and pronunciation rules as much as possible, because I have a class on 13/1 and not much wish for another breakdown because of my inability to read and write things down from the board as fast as my classmates.

やれやれ.
