How do you write descriptions? [:O]? |
Horribly? I just write what comes to mind but i guess that's really horrible. Descriptions were never my strong suit. I just write things step by step to how I imagine what my character's sees, feels and hears etc but just the words I use makes it sound so..bad. Yeah I am the same way. I write in third person since there is multiple main characters but it's just very hard e.e And somehow when I RP I write a lot better than when I write my own stories. |
Same. I wrote a description on an OC once, went back and read through it again about a week later, and couldn't stop cringing at how horrible it was. >_> |
One thing is for sure, I HATE the way I write. I feel like it's awful, and if someone is gonna read it, I feel like I'm standing naked in front of them. For example: I would much rather strangers look at my resume and cover letter than even let my family/friends look over it.
I used to be that way with everything I wrote, and surely don't consider myself awful anymore. Now that I see the way other's write (never spelling a character's name right, ignoring parts of my posts, making up things they didn't even write in in the last post, grammar errors all over the place) at least while RPing, it makes me feel like I can enjoy making a story, rather than focusing on how badly my part was written [sweat]. I mean, especially from the perspective of an RPer, I don't expect others to be expert novelists. Nor would I expect that of fan fiction or other stories I might find on the internet. I always have high expectations for books that I buy though [lol] |
Oh yeah, definitely. I rarely ever let my friends and family IRL see my drawings, let along (alone?) my writings. [sweat] I just feel so awkward about it. I think it has to do with people laughing at it back in the day when I showed them my drawings so after a while I just stopped showing it to people I know and would rather post it online where even if people laugh at it, they wouldn't know me. |
[:o] I don't think I own a book that I've noticed a typo in. I think the oldest book in my room though is my Latin I book from high-school. Don't know how old the book actually is, but it's older than all the teen-fiction novels I own for sure xD
|
I think I own a lot of books that are over 10+ years. [XD] Some are almost 20 years old, so yeah...typos. [XD] |
@Antagonist I just can't seem to write good anymore. I use to sort of. One of my stories on the writing site i go on someone read it and they have these reactions that you can click for after you read it and someone did a few of those so maybe my writing isn't super terrible but nothing will really convince me otherwise unless I see it for myself. @Libra I rather no one from menewsha read my stories because I will feel the same way. My sister said she read one of my stories the other day and i felt too exposed. [shock] |
My writing style changes all over the place. Sometimes they're okay, sometimes I just want to rip the papers out into little tiny pieces. |
What is FFN? And I am the same way once someone reads my stories. My friends over at chloria want a chapter 2 to my story I named Porcelain Skins[don't ask why i named it that I just did]. It's basically about a girl who was at a testing facility and they erased her memory for some reason she comes back after 9 years or something not remembering a thing as her mother recently passed and left her in the care of the owner of the facility. I am still figuring out the plot. Although I thought of how to progress in my fanfic. But my fanfic is probably going to be the most I am going to write in as far as any of my stories go. I'll probably work on that during NanoWrimo [heart] Like I get ideas as if they were an anime or a movie, including in my dreams so that makes me want to write more [love] I can never tell with my writing if it changes or not. I mean obviously it gets better but i still feel I have a long ways to go you know? |
I think every writer feels like that. Always needing to improve.
|
FFN = fanfiction.net, a website almost exclusively for fanfiction. xD |
I like Archiveofourown, but I've never heard of IMHO >_>
Yeah, I'm a slave to that as well. So many plots, so many characters, can't bring myself to put them on paper. I'm trying to force myself though and it's working out well! I finally finished the prologue of a story/potential novel [boogie] |
IMHO isn't a website, it's the abbreviation for 'in my humble opinion', sorry for the confusion. [XD];;; |
HAHA! I was wondering [rofl]
All of my characters started out as Gary Stus/Mary Sues. But, they kind of grew up with me. I'm happy with most of them, but some of them... ich. |
lol Same here. A lot of my OCs have been around for like over a decade, with appearance and personality and powers growing and changing throughout time. [lol] One of my OCs started out with long, straight gold hair and now it's super curly and white (and still long). [XD] |
IMHO could also stand for "In my honest opinion." xDD |

Oh okay. I am so behind with joining all these writer sites. I recently joined Figment and i really like it there. It's quiet though but you can join groups, RP and earn achievements/badges. I have so much inspiration it's spewing out of my head like a valcano erupting. And I am not joking. Which is why i do both writing and draw. I want to draw what I imagine my characters doing in a scene. Like i had this awesome dream of the current fanfic of AOT and it was just...wow so awesome. and when i woke up i was so sad because real life is so boring. [gonk] |
@Pistachio: Oh, yeah, there's that...depends on how the reader wants to interpret it then. [XD] |

Lol I see. the only writing sites I know of are Wattpad, writer's cafe and now figment. writer's cafe someone wrote this kind of awesome story or i at least thought it was awesome. I should probably find that story again. XD Yeah real life is so boring. The only exciting thing i look forward to in RL is moving to chicago, getting a job and going/graduating college and possibly making my fashion line one day. Other then that i find the fantasy world FAR much more exciting and fun which is another reason i enjoy to write. I love creating a world for my characters. Though Steven I am still stuck on what to do with her. e.e |
Ooh if you find the story can you link me? [eager] |
I am a drop out so i have to study my license in order to take myself to my GED classes. My relatives will not help at all. Or they will but i will owe them money or something in return or they will make me feel guilty about not having a license. e.e My life is a little on the slow track due to a family thing but my relatives don't get it so I am trying to do everything on my own. Ah are you in college then? If so do you mind if i ask what you major and minor in? *curious* i daydream all the time. When i was in school everyone would tell me to stop daydreaming and pay attention[sweat] And I will definitely link you any good stories I find. What are your interests just so i don't link you something that isn't something you would read. I just have no clue where steven belongs. She is such a difficult character. Her and her sister both. They are both demons but Steven is more like...a weapon to kill anyone that gets in the way of her assignment so she is like a demon assassin. [lol] |
Oh, that sucks. [:o] |
Nah it's cool. I don't really consider any of them my family aside from my parents, sister and two cousins. Ah I see. When I go to college I want to major in fashion design and maybe minor in graphic design. I am still a little unsure. I plan to go to college in chicago. Anywhere but where i live now would be fine. But chicago has a lot to offer to me. [lol] Lol I mostly listen to my music while daydreaming or when i am just walking around the house and then i snap out of it when I have no idea why i am in the bathroom with a pan. [XP] [sweat] Ah I see. I am the same way with the stories i like. I never read harry potter though. Reading is so hard for me when there are actual books because i get migraines when i read. But if I find anything that is your cup a tea i will link it to you. I've never even heard of a song of fire and ice. But if it's depressing that is probably on the list of what not to read. Most of my characters have bad attitudes or are rebels for some reason. I am not really someone for the goodie goodie type as then i play them too nice. [lol] And i managed to edit some of my fanfic which now I am very pleased with the details i added. though can't really decide on calling the main character's mother, Mom or her name when she talks or there is a scene with her so i sort of did both [lol] |
Those sound a lot more practical than mine. [XD] |
