Happy Thanksgiving to my tumblr family and friends. Even if you don’t celebrate, know that I’m thankful for all of you :) Thanks for following me, liking the crafts I post, or the cosplay, or the Persona, or the other Persona, and the other other Persona and occasionally Avengers and gaming things.
Have a lovely day!
She’ll text me and be like, “Hey, when you come home, you want to help me build Voltron?"
… o.k. that’s not actually a euphemism for anything she actually just put together a giant Voltron figure that looks fuckin’ boss ^^;;;
Something I like to do is not reference current things will referencing them at the same time.
That… probably makes no sense.
What I mean is that instead of flat out calling something a name, I describe it so you get the sense of what it is. For example:
1. He drank a Red Bull.
2. He cracked open an energy drink whispered an unrealistic promise of giving him wings.
I don’t know how I started doing this, I think it’s because I don’t want to date my stories? When you read something and it actually states something, you know what time period it is and later, down the line, it might make the story feel old. This works, of course, if you WANT your story to feel old, like mentioning something that’s obviously 80s. But when you’re writing something that’s taking place today, and you name it, for some reason I always think, “This is going to sound super old fifty years from now, because everything is going to be new.”
So like, instead of “Nintendo Wii” I say something like, “Interactive game system that lets you bowl in your house.”
And… that’s my random writing ramblings for the day ^^ I have NO IDEA where that even came from ^^;;;
I was showing a girl at work some pictures of the things I make, like the woodburning and stuff. She said, “Wow that’s really cool. I wish I had a talent.” I let that process in my head for a while and I realized… I wish people wouldn’t say that. Just because I know how to do something doesn’t mean you’re not talented. Everyone’s talented in some way, shape, or form, I just happen to be a creative, artistic person. That doesn’t make anybody less talented than me in any way :) I know it was said as a compliment, it usually is, but next time I think I want to say, “You are talented in your own way, I’m sure of it.”
And that is your randomly sappy/inspirational post of the morning? Ugh that’s what happens when I don’t get much sleep -_-
That moment when you have downtime at work and have access to a computer, so you decide to write a bit of your story. As you write your muses are going at it, giving you inspiration and telling you which way the story should go.
Then you see the signs.
A kiss, here.
A touch there.
Oh snap your muses want you to write a love scene, but you’re at work so you can’t, but they insist! Oh god muses why?! Now is not the time! This wasn’t even in the story’s outline where is this even coming from?!
Because a couple of people asked, here’s the secret to how I come up with my headcanons and my writing process in general.
1. *wakes up in the morning* I FEEL LIKE WRITING, YAY! (if it’s a headcanon: Kanji and Naoto are the bestest, I can’t wait to share my ideas for them!)
2. *watches Price is Right*
3. *fixes hot chocolate*
4. *nods off for a bit*
5. *pets kitties*
6. *watches random T.V.* You are NOT the father, ah Maury, you always get more ridiculous by the day.
7. *checks tumblr*
8. *checks facebook*
9. *checks email*
10. *debates updating deviantart*
11. *checks etsy*
12. *checks tumblr*
13. *watches more random T.V.* People’s Court time!
14. Oh I should probably start getting ready for work-… OMG PLOT BUNNY MUST WRITE! Original story I’ve been working on I finally know how to end the chapter! (or if it’s a headcanon: Kanji and Naoto having smexy times! Or adorable times! Or just times in general! Their story must be told to the world!)
15. *furious writing timez*
16. Shit shit shit gotta get ready for work!
17. BUT WRITING!
18. MUST WRITE!
19. MUST. WRITE!
20. If I take a quick shower I can still leave on time so I can write for approximately five and a half more minutes.
21. *writes for fifteen more minutes*
22. O.K. I’m at a good stopping point (or if its a headcanon I’ve most likely finished it), I should-… shit work! I’ll be sure to write more when I come home!
23. *spends five more minutes rereading what I wrote to make sure it’s quality (and posting it on tumblr if its a headcanon)*
24. I was supposed to do something… craaaaaaaaaaaaaaap work!
25. *somehow makes it to work on time* O.o
26. *comes home after work*
27. *eats something*
28. *watches more random T.V.* Ah 30 Rock, you keep me amused.
29. *opens document to continue writing*
30. *checks tumblr*
31. *checks facebook*
32. *checks email*
33. *updates deviantart*
34. *checks etsy*
35. *checks tumblr*
36. *yaaaaaawn* I should go to bed, have to work tomorrow-… OMG PLOT BUNNY MUST WRITE! MUST WRITE!!!
37. If I go to sleep in approximately thirty minutes I can still get a good amount of sleep.
38. *stays up for two more hours, staring at the document because I’m too tired to write, while constantly checking tumblr to try and stay awake*
And that’s how I write things. In conclusion, clearly, they write themselves.
