I know plots exist, I know there has to be something coherent in a few of these, but with ery few exceptions, I just find myself blank.
Adthose few started with plots instead of worlds and I am... not sure how to write a story this way.
I'm not even sure what I'd do with short stories. Theyd all be every slice-of-life, evenif it is fantasyworld slice of life.
Andthat... feels like cheating?
My brain just keeps saying thats not being a real writer.
My brain is influenced by too many books on/advice for writing, I think.
It just keeps yelling at me that if I have no plot, no conflict, no antagonist, no action, I have no story.
... And no, I want to hand my worlds off to someone who can write plot, get books published, and then write the fanfic.
That's what I think is the answer here.
Love is good. I will always take love.
I don't know. I['m trying to write summaries of a kind to start with, I just... dont know what to say.
And mabye it would help if I had actually written ion any of these lately.
I dont want to get in your way? Especially with Faeverse. Teashop is just a collection of shorts rightnow and that's fine, but Fae
Maybe? I wouldn't mind writing about the Cabinetverse kids, I just. Need to figure out what I'd write.
(--And actually I was just poking the 50 states thing I started with Vodka a couple of years ago and thinking I shouldtry to continue
Mraaaa. I don[t kow. I dont mind cowriting, I just... fele awkward jumping in.
...Do not question my insecurities, for they make no logical sense.
We already knew that, though.
Okay. Verses that have full-blown plots built in if I can just find a way to write them without feeling like a failure:
Angels Unawares, Greyhaven, Come Stand by Me [specifically Regan and Cin and Dennys story], Personificationsverse, the Charge and the
Keepers world [Because I KNOW there is an actual story going down there, I just need to find out WHAT IT IS already, ithas been YEARS]
Ones that probably have plots that can be found with some poking:
Academyverse, Civil, maybe the Church?, the Group [I am DAMN SURE they have a story, actually, I just need to get it], Sentient Magic, the
Ones that might have suitable short stories on a theme found in them:
Angels Unawares [different angels undergoing the trial during different periods of EArth's history]
the Church [the gods, their churches, the demigods, hell I could probably give the MEssenger his own collction]
the Group [magical peole who have come and burned out before those eight]
Come Stand by Me [stories about the B&B, stories about the Widow's House, stories that focus on different raining places]
Sentient Magic [epople and their relationship with magic]
Epic Doomverse, if I felt like transplanting.
Also Footprints goes under ptoentially has a plot, if just for "that time Maggie and Susan almost destroyed the world"
Ones thatIapparently just need more info on b efore even deciding: CIVILVERSE DAMN YOU. FailDemons. Maybe Academy.
Belatedly: *pets?* I do not know what good this list will actually DO me, hoenstly, I just. Felt it should be made. XD
And huh. I could see that being interesting. And god, would it run the spectrum.
I need to poke that verse a lot beofre I could do anything with it, but. I dont know.
I could. hmm. I might try and poke that one some time soon.
I feel like I should narrow down what I am working on and try to start a real book/story collection for at least one of them. I just need to
And to nothate what I write. Because I hate my words in general but when I try to string a coherent story together, I loathe myself.
Everything sounds forced and off and wrong to me.
Even if I like the plot. I liked the plots for Greyhaven and Regan and Cin's story, at least the very basic plots.
But it just came out -- wrong. Unnatural, it doesn't flo and it doens't sound right.
Need to stop babbling, self, it s time to shut up;.
<333333 I know, but I'm babbling at Plurk and I'm not saying anything important or new, and. Mrrh. I dont know.
-- I would like to do things with Magicverse, I would love to find something to do with the Church I just have no idea what. Would like to
at least find out the story behind the Charge and the Keeper's world. Sort of want to work at the House or the B&B, they make me happy.
I mean, I'd love to poke everything. But if I had to grab the ones I felt might have stories to them
and I want to poke the most, they might be top of the list.
.... And if you have suggestions for anything else I am totally open to them, I just, I don't know.
Got hit with this sudden wave of "you should try to write, you should try to turn this into something real, you should stop ignoring it an
waiting for the words to come on their own without working for it" and I am trying to deal with it.
Tht's fine, I just. I don't know. Felt like I should offer for this not to be a monologue or... something like that.
And one day I want originalized OT6 things in my life, which is tangental to the rest of this plurk, but my music reminded me
