[@LoreCatan]

I know it's been months but I have kind of the opposite problem. I sort of vaguely have a beginning, I know how I want most of the middle story to go/be about, but the ending escapes me! I know it's because I myself am unsure on the right answer/message for the themes I would implement in the story [if I ever wrote it, which rn I doubt it], but nevertheless no conclusion is satisfying enough for me. I think this is why some shows or books are affected by the "great story, meh ending" syndrome, they push past their writing block hoping they'll figure it out by the end but they never do. Ugh.

[@nicoleabrahao1026]

@@LoreCatan What helps me figure out the ending is not deciding "how" it ends, but "when" it ends. Like "Harry Potter series end WHEN the big villain is defeated." It seems obvious, but whenever I have trouble figuring out an ending, thinking in terms of "when" always helps. When you decide the event that it's going to be your "when it ends" scene, that's not much that's going to happen afterwards so you basically got the ending of your story. My problem is still to figure out the middle. 😅 Any thoughts?

[@HeidiL2]

Writer problems/habits that most writers have (IMO) 1.Either super focused, or not focused at all. 2. Zone ing out all the time 3.Getting mad at loud noises when you are super focused 4. Creating a book inspired playlist because why not 5.having to Google your characters description because your image of them in your head disappeared. 6. Googling names. First names, last names, middle names. 7.Procrastination. That's it. Just Procrastination. 8. Writing 10 chapters one day then writing a paragraph the next. 9. Thinking ahead of the scene you are writing, then snap back to reality and try to quickly write it all down before you forget. 10. Many, many, possible name titles, yet none of them are JUST right. 11. Doubting your desicion to make the main character fall in love with their second love in the book instead of the first because of how charming they turned out to be. 12. Using any word that ends in 'ly' to describe how someone said something. 13. When you can't remember a word that you want to use, but then suddenly remember it a day later. 14. Not wanting anyone to read your rough draft because, it's well, ~rough~ 15. Killing off that one side character because things needed spicing up🌶 16. Getting really good at typing/writing

I was the same back then. I'd tell my friend of a fanfiction idea- they'd be all for it- and then I'd either forget about it or get bored and start another project. I wanted to publish my own novel and I was really heartbroken since most of my stories were fan fictions on already existing sources. It took a long time before I got an original idea, and it took over a year to completely write it. Which sounds like a lot, but then again I took a lot of breaks (school and overall being uninspired). I learned the hard way that sometimes it's best to push a project aside if you aren't feeling inspired to write it. The best parts of your novel are when you're inspired, so being uninspired while writing would make the story itself feel plain and boring. It's all about the journey. Some days will feel horrible, some days will feel awesome. You just gotta push ahead and keep that project in your head till the whole idea comes to you.

The plot for my novel is just about two knights who have personal struggles: one is struggling to find a new goal after failing to protect the king and thinking if he should have done more; the second is struggling with their wants and their dream is to be a chivalrous knight but must serve his family before any other even the kingdom. The background for this novel is a rebellion after the king's assassination and the crown prince, and since the next in line to be king is still young. The realm wants justice; everything is in disarray after a declaration from a noble house for an independent kingdom, while the loyalists lack a king to rule. The second is the crown prince's bride, who takes the title of regent and leads the war against the traitors, but finds resistance due to her gender.

I had problems with writing in the sense that I almost thought I was cursed. I would be able to get 3 chapters in and then just… stop?

Only recently have I finally been able to write and one story I blazed through 20+ chapters in 10 days Only after COVID hit did I realize the possibility that I had undiagnosed ADHD and even more recently the possibility of undiagnosed depression.

People like that are so agitating. I know it’s been a while since you posted this comment but DO NOT let that discourage you. You’re allowed to write. Just because you enjoy something doesn’t mean you’re bad about this. Your book will be loved and if not by anybody then by me! I will spread the love of your book when it’s published, I’ll buy you copies, and I’ll force my friends to as well. Your writing is just as important as everyone else’s stories. I’ve been writing for 5 years and, honestly, the best advice I could give is to NEVER listen to people like that. Write your books. Write your stories. Don’t you ever get discouraged because someone told you you’re a bad writer. You’re allowed to love a craft. I hope you do find your self love in the things you create because writers are truly one of the most creative. It’s difficult to enjoy fantasies inside our heads whilst putting them on paper and publishing them for people to enjoy. People WILL love your book especially if you pour your heart, soul, and love into it. You’re a great writer and never let anyone tell you any different 🫶🏻 Side note: every single writer experiences the things you do. It doesn’t make you any less “good” than other authors. You can always improve, but it doesn’t mean that you’re bad

In a massive kidnapping in a small town in Maine, 20 kidnapped teenagers wake up in a big mansion in the woods, with exactly 20 rooms. No idea how or why they are there. No past memories, no phones, no way out. And the worst part… every night, the teens are locked in their assigned rooms by themselves. The rooms only have a mirror to stare into, but it gets worse. The kidnapper is with them, disguising as a teenager, living in the mirrors, ready to kill and take anyone who they please… The way you know you know you’re gonna die is if you get blood on your mirror. Then, you get stabbed and pulled into the mirror. In the morning, they have to find who is missing. Once they do, the mirror can replay their deaths… Then, they have chats to figure out who it is. Then.. the accused person is sacrificed. Can they do it? Or is fate sealed? I call it, “Blood On The Wall”! I had so many problems, including me wanting to harass my pet, look outside, and the occasional writer’s block.

Earlier today, I was editing my novel when I suddenly had an idea for a word in my paracosm’s language, which somehow led to me researching the Earth’s carrying capacity and ideal population and even asking ChatGPT to help me determine the population of said paracosm. Eventually, my mom came into my room with lunch, I told her to take it out because the smell was making me hungry, she said that I should eat if I was hungry, and I told her that I couldn’t eat because I was busy researching the Earth’s carrying capacity. I’m so glad that my entire family is made up of nerds. Also, ChatGPT told me “in the millions or tens of millions” which is surprisingly low, but I suspect it has to do with ideal population (as in, everyone being able to live middle class with the world’s resources) and my paracosm being a utopia made to foil the dystopia of modern-day Earth.

KILLS ME EVERYTIME also y'all idk how to start a story i've had rampaging around my brain for weeks now so i'm in need of support, inspiration, and ofc chocolate if y'all have any...XD feel free to complain about your own stories and writers' block in the replies, and i'll try to give updates if anyone cares

[@Waffle_van_Sunshine]

I feel called out 3:06 not really a worldbuilding (will probs change) but im making animals for my fantasy world like a fluffy lizard I talk to myself in my head a lot, thats where half my characters come from, or dreams I decided i wanted to write the scene of 2 characters meeting before some of them even had names Im giving my characters eye colours and stuff- height, age, last names, those gotta wait.. a long time.

[@AyrisMoon]

plsss make more writing TikTok’s- I need more to procrastinate my writing onn😂👌🏻

[@PrinceChris93]

Problem's I have as a writer Procrastinating Writer's block Too many ideas at once Wondering if I should copy write certain things Jumping ahead Telling yourself it's not normal to talk to yourself even if it is for writing. not having conversations with myself when I write Struggling to Come up with names for my characters and cities. Trying not to compare your work to other famous writers.

[@Nek0ru]

5:00 that one hit hard

[@Addie_48]

I'm writing. A book about these people who create a prison place that is torture for people with a murder record The ancestors of them need to revive the place to make their vision come true (creating monsters out of their own blood and dead bones) When these innocent people come who were accused of having a murderer record Jupiter brown (the ancestor) starts a war to make his vision come true. And it has a bunch of friendship concepts and things like that

[@honeyscribbles]

omg i love this!! how far are you into the book? what draft?

[@Addie_48]

@@honeyscribbles I just started the second draft a few weeks ago! Ts called “the place where the troubled folks go” thank you! I'll let you know when ill have beta readers. It's older middle grade btw

[@honeyscribbles]

@@Addie_48 sounds cool! good luck with your second draft :)

3:06 As an Oxford comma enthusiast writing a character driven dystopian fantasy novel with a good amount of plot focus, accurate (noone (who is human) has compared the WIP to Harry Potter yet, thankfully)

[@stellaeast1481]

My parents look at my search history and find 'what is the most painful way to breakup with someone' and I have to explain that I'm just casually being a writer

[@lynnrevenday5566]

that last one had me rolling because it's SO TRUE! I'm editing my draft, and I just stare at the first page for ages because WHAT WAS I THINKING?

[@benmemon]

I hate the fact that im good with coming up with story ideas but i never even finish them once i write it down

[@awlawditcomin5906]

3:11, 3:14, and 3:26 are a little bit too relatable if you ask me haha

[@ajarofworms7]

3:14 wow ok wonderful callout post there-

[@Lolas_Loves]

Omg one of the last ones about not existing with reality because of daydreaming really called out my entire life

[@IJPAILJIMIAIOD]

i love your intro sm😭😭

[@mubinamirzakulova2732]

It's 22:52 pm, and instead of writing I'm watching writertok compilation

[@kittyycaat_]

Please whenever I'm not writing or at school I'm out on walks in the middle of nowhere with my earbuds blasting a random song from the 80's while I imagine the scenario I wanna write but am too lazy to💀

[@kadiholmes320]

Okay but the last one- I wrote an Ironstrange AU where Tony went to Kamar-Taj instead of becoming Ironman (sort of- it's complicated) and I bingewrote 22 chapters in less than 3 weeks, each chapter totaling somewhere between 8-1000 words. A week later I read the book and can't get past the first chapter it was so bad lmao Anyways I'm rewriting it, longest chapter is over 2K words, and it's a bit better than it was

[@AliceInsanity]

I so felt that 50k oneshot. I started writing a fanfic with a friend of mine about 2 years ago and our first chapter was approximately 55 pages long. Unsurprisingly, we decided to cut it into three parts after all. We are now working on chapter 4-6 and I can tell you we do not have any chapter that has less than 55 pages, actually they range from 55 to 89 pages, at least in their undivided version xD (then again it's 8 characters to write, so...)

[@hammywoods]

That's overkill ngl, RIP to your readers

[@AliceInsanity]

@@hammywoods I know, that's why we decided to split the chapters into parts 😅

[@L_oliviarodrigosbiggestfan]

3:32 THIS IS ME HELPP IM 7K WORDS IN WITH NO DESCRIPTION ON WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE LOOL😭

[@themagicalmystery3936]

nah the oneshot fanfic is so accurate cause i just wrote a 23.8k one which was gonna be longer but i stopped myself

[@andrewlingenfelter3313]

4:56 that hit WAY too close to home

[@sweetparriz]

5:02 I've never felt so called out before-

[@Star18262]

I'm literally sitting in front of an empty document and this is perfect RN thank you so much!!

[@ashoye9578]

PVO: the book is supposed to be finished by tomorrow but you lack motivation

[@fishl__]

i'm writing about a ghost who just fucks around and does cool things. and then there's her depressed girlfriend from when the ghost was still alive and the girlfriend desperately tries to bring her dead gf back by reversing the time over and over, without knowing that the ghost made some friends and moved on and she will be wiped from existence if the girlfriend saves her from getting killed in the first place for some reason i wrote 10k words of enemies *and* lovers for the side ship while theres nothing for the main plot.

[@thesheezerkc]

I almost dropped my phone from laughing so hard on the last one. (Also I'm kinda in the imbetween space of loving writing when it's no brain writing and hating writing when it’s literally anything else because I overthink everything.)

[@Juliana-hn3bo]

okay so i had an idea for a sci fi romance type deal- but i was in school so i was like, okay i’ll work with it later… THEN I FORGOT IT- I SHOULDVE WRITTEN IT DOWN

[@anniemikayelyan5048]

This video hit me with reality so hard it hurts 😢

[@tomonewi]

I'm writing a novel myself actually. I haven't really thought about what's going to happen yet, so I can't really tell you much about it. I'm in the early stages, however, I've already made the MC, and I already have some idea of the bad guy. I also already know how our MC; Sam Rylie got his powers despite him not knowing himself. I also already have the bad guy's motivations as to why he's going against the MC. I also have an idea on what the bad guy is gonna do if he were to get his hands on the ancient powers. Let's just say... He doesn't exactly like mankind.

[@sgdjicjdnsbhsjsjssn]

I love oxford commas. Whenever i can use one, i will.

[@Tulipaau]

3:52 they talking about Colleen Hoover or smth ?

[@glenninvr9113]

been writing a story for 3 years and I didn't think about their eye color until just now

[@miniwolfsbane2407]

4:56 Thank Celestia, it's not just me! That explains a lot...sort-of. I don't consider myself a maladaptive daydreamer, because I'm not doing it _constantly_, I just like to consider myself more flighty and very imaginative. Slightly a bit of a ditz/airhead. Scatterbrained. Possibly on the spectrum. Weird. Oh, and it's not so much using music as a soundtrack for me as it is making up random romantic/action-focused scenes in my head in a music video fashion starring me and my bias. Like I said, weird.
