Dialogue Prompts

Right Person Wrong Time

Back from a brief hiatus with some more angsty dialogue prompts :D

“You were supposed to wait for me. I would’ve waited for you.”

“Be realistic.”

“Maybe it’s just meant to be this way.”

“Do you think we’ll regret this one day?”

“Just don’t forget me.”

“I already miss you.”

“I really am always late, huh?”

“Please, if anyone can make this work it’s us!”

“I’d honestly rather not have met you at all.”

“I hate that I’ll always love you.”

[words-like-poetry]

Sometimes I’m like: ohhh I have no clue what story to tell and I’ll never have any ideas again

Also me: *writes down 20 ideas some random night when I’m definitely supposed to be long asleep*

(And then proceeds to post it on tumblr instead of finally getting some rest)

Tip I Wish I'd Known Before I Started Writing My WIP

Act structures work. I started writing Byoldervine after I'd done a bunch of fantacising about the kind of story I wanted, but I never actually structured it out. I still stand by my plotting scheme of plotting out five chapters in advance so I have the space and time to work through things and make adjustments as I go, but because I didn't create an overarching structure to the story I've got a bit of a pacing problem where I'm now cramming everything into the end when it could've been paying off much sooner

Luckily this is a problem that can be handled in the editing phase easily enough, and I've structured the last parts of the story so I know what's still left to go, but it still would've been helpful to have set it out in advance; it would also make the plotting sessions easier too

Y Quiero escribir

Y desearía que las palabras fluyeran de mi boca Que mis pensamientos fueran liberados a través de mis suspiros En vez de esconderse detrás de una mejilla mordida y una mirada nerviosa Desearía poder escribir de la manera mas poética y elocuente Que cuente historias con delicadeza y una rima regalada En vez de tropezarse torpemente contra la yema de mis dedos,  Anhelando salir pero simplemente siendo demasiado complicadas como para redactarse Quisiera que escribir se me diera como naturaleza, pero la verdad es que me complica la existencia  Y cada pieza que escribo requiere mas tiempo que la ultima ¿Qué es lo que me bloquea de expresarme?

All my pain. And it was just only chapter one....😔😔

[rookie-chenford]

Can someone remind my brain that it’s bad to come up with a story idea at 11 o’clock at night, when I have to be up at 6 a.m., and then decide to write the idea down so she doesn’t forget but then decides to start writing because the idea is flowing and “it won’t take me that long” but she’s an hour and a half into writing when she realizes she has to be up in 5 1/2 hours

that feeling when you as a writer feel like a God and you wanna work on several story ideas but then you remember that even God rested on the third day

Writers block

To be honest I haven't worked on any chapters in either of the books I'm writing. It could just be the fact I have too many ideas and don't know how to put them on paper. Or it could be that I'm just not getting any good ideas and don't have the motivation.

It's probably the first one, but it really could be the second one.

I'm currently working on two books that take place in the same universe and same series as my first book. There are new characters and storylines that are completely different from my first book. I have some good ideas, but I got some comments on the last chapter that might have been judged too harshly. And now I am too scared to write more?? IDK??

Hopefully I can write more once school starts!

Dialogue Prompts

Romance

Some romantic dialogue prompts (one sided or mutual):

"Do you always have to look at me like that?

"I think I miss you."

"That has to be the worst pick up line I've ever heard." ~~ "Trust me there's more where that came from."

"Talk to be about something. Anything."

"Your hands are so warm."

"You've been on my mind a lot lately." ~~ "Oh no."

"You smell like chocolate."

"I love your voice."

"I like how my clothes look on you."

"Are you blushing?"

All is uneventful this night this far (we don't use the q word here!)...

*opens computer*

*opens recent fanfic wip*

*stares at blank space where my brain skipped over a chapter to write something emotional and heartbreaking*

*tries to figure out how to connect it all*

*tries to figure out how to connect it all*

*tries to figure out how to connect it all*

*tries to figure out how to connect it all*

*tries to figure out how to connect it all*

*keyboard mashes*disifjdiieja. Jdieijxj

Ah yes... That'll do.

the writers block is writers blocking

[neverenoughmarauders]

I posted a chapter that I knew I wanted, but I couldn't figure out why and I could feel that it lacked the 'so what'. But eventually I decided to let it go. Today I was discussing it with my husband who very clearly picked up on the same thing, although phrased something like: 'who was the chapter about?'

So I launched into a looooong explanation of what the various elements represented and what I wanted to tell with the chapter. He then had the AUDACITY to ask me why I hadn't put that more explicitly in the chapter. Well, obviously because...

I HADN'T REALISED ANY OF THIS UNTIL I TOLD HIM

Honestly... Does he expect me to understand why I write stuff?!
