A self reflection on my own writing
10 months ago
AKA the journal where I get real self indulgent and just ramble about what I think about myself as of late <3
The Good: I feel like I finally have my own unique style of writing and I'm quite proud of it. I write longer stories with lots of character interactions (my favorite thing to write tbh), with feel good endings that involve overcoming a challenge or obstacle, usually relating to enjoying the feeling of growing larger. I also don't care what anyone says, my humor is impeccable and I will not stop adding stupid jokes into my stories v.v
I'm hardly the only or even the first person to write this style of course. This story, for example involves a lot of what I just discribed earlier (overcoming a challenge, humor, character interactions, feel good ending). It's a really good Rocket fanfic, so I def reccomend giving it a read!
Uh, I guess bottom line is, while it's not the most unique 'style' of fat fur/wg stories, I like the style I've adopted recently. I'm down to branch out and try other styles too (my trade with Plokishmok3, for example, was me trying to emulate his writing style), but I wanna be known as the guy with the silly and entertaining fat fur stories. Not necessarily the uwu hottest, because writing fat fur stories to be super hawt is really hard for me, but- oops I'm rambling again lol.
The Bad: Good time to bring up that I also ramble in writing too. I'm sorta bad at the show, don't tell rule. I think I too often write exactly what the character is thinking instead of relying more on gestures and other subtle methods. Other times I feel like I end up over discribing something to the point where I'm mostly retreading old ground. I wouldn't be surprised if people skim a lot of my reading because of that, heh.
I'm also not the best at discribing fat. I get bored when writing eating scenes, to be honest, which is a shame cuz that's where a lot of the sexy happens. It's hard to write about big fatty bois in ways that make it unique, I guess. I should try focusing more on different body shapes and sizes, or maybe emphasizing other parts of the body. Then again yall know how much I love big round bellies v.v
Something that I also struggle with is, well, I guess what to do after a character sorta reaches their final size? It feels boring to just end the story right there, especially if the plot hasn't really concluded yet. There's more that needs to be said and done, but also it's a bit awkward incorporating someone who is, well, very very large, like say in the Dragon Goes Dieting story. Outside of a handful of discriptions, I wasn't really sure what to do with Letty. The whole ending felt awkward and I wish I could change it for the better, but I'm not really sure what else I could have done. Maybe make him a lil less insanely fat so he can waddle around? lol
The Ugly I struggle to write much unless it happens to be my current hyperfixation. That Dragon Goes Dieting story was my hyperfixation for the time, which is why I pretty much obsessed over it for like 2-3 days straight until it felt ready to upload. Right now, my hyperfixation is running my very first DnD game. Have a big fun world made up inspired by Xenoblade 2 and Castle in the Sky that I can't wait to try out <3
Not sure how to make myself focus on something other than what I have primarily in my head when I'm doing something that's *not* working on that hyperfixation. Ritalin? lol

i also fall victim to overdescribing sometimes. once in a while i have a picture in my mind and i want to convey EXACTLY HOW IT LOOKS IN MY HEAD but... that's what art is for and i gotta recognize the medium i'm working with
and i mean if you think you might have adhd i definitely recommend getting it looked at! it's helped me a lot!
I'm definitely ADHD, like it's official and everything lol. It's why when I want to sit down and focus hard I'll drink a bunch of coffee or something :p
And well, perhaps you could ask a proof reader to help you with the ending? Or to see if things are too ramble-y? 🤔
And maybe this will help with your focusing problem? 🤔
