Question to my watchers
2 months ago
Currently not in the best mental space. Granted i was in a better one not to long ago, not the best, but not the worst. Then I decided to take to writing a vent piece and now im just really depressed. Dont worry yall, ill be fine in abit. But I have a very important question for you guys.
One thing I've been trying to do is make my stories have a minimum of 1,000 words per story. This was simply because I felt like if I did it smaller, it wouldn't be that good or entertaining. However after struggling to write over and over, im wondering if I should just say fuck it to the minimum and just write whatever.
Like maybe I might just write the transformation part without and beginning or end, just the juicy bits and bobs. I still will try and write and stuff, especially for the coms I have. But I've been hitting my head on a brick wall trying to figure out what the fuck is preventing me from writing. Its like is a PEBKAC or something, and it hurts so much to have these stories and wants not being expressed.
So I wanted to pose that question to the void. Also, I am better from my last journal post, it took like 2 weeks for me to actually feel better enough to have a chance to write stuff. Also idk but I might stealth post the vent writing I did.
Alllsssssooooo. Very happy with the new writing update. Might scrap putting the writing in the description since now you can actually read the pdf without needing to do anything. For now tho ill keep doing it.
Thank you all for watching me write over the years. Genuinely is something that I hold near and dear to me at this moment in time. Thank you guys for being a wonderful void :3 (Im not planning on ever truly leaving >:3 if what I said above made you worry)

The chapters in my book are roughly 700 Words long on average. While that is a restriction imposed by the publisher, it was actually challenging to keep it this short, because that means that you can’t really write meaningful and deep dialogue, like I love. But snippets like these are by no means hollow, on the contrary, you can’t really write put so much in there, and simply because its short, it makes it so much more impcatful!
And thats soooooo cool! Hope youve been enjoying writing that book of yours :3 Yeh, thats an issue i have both as a reader and as a writer. Too short and its hard to do stuff, but to long and you feel board. In my opinion.
But yeh, I think im going to start not worrying about minimum lengths at least for now. Also congrats on writing a book! One day ill start writing one >:3 also thank you for the echo :3
You should be able to read the whole first chapter for free there :D
I think most of the time writing long chapters or stories isn’t boring per se, but it’s hard to get the pacing right. Usually you have to build some sort of tension carrying you through the story or chapter, without loosing the thread. That gets easier once your characters are established, but you simply cannot drop the thread that keeps your story going.
Yeh, thats one part that I now currently struggle with. Its hard to keep that thread but also sometimes is hard to get from a to b without it being to direct.
Also, I think I might do what I saw a few people do here and just post a.... fuck.... combine thingy that has multiple small stories that have similar feels. Like I've posted abit here and there on my Twitter (when I was using it, now using Bluesky) about i think poem type stories. Where I would challenge myself to write a story using X amount of words per sentence. Like a 10-5 would be ten words for the first sentence, then 5 words, then 10 again.
Think ill probably post those soonish on here then >:3 Again thank you for your comment <3
