[Writing] stares at verses ... Can I just hand off basic structures to someone who knows how to plot? Because fuck, I don't see any.

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.
Serenity

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.
Serenity

My brain is influenced by too many books on/advice for writing, I think.
Serenity

It just keeps yelling at me that if I have no plot, no conflict, no antagonist, no action, I have no story.
Serenity

... And no, I want to hand my worlds off to someone who can write plot, get books published, and then write the fanfic.
Serenity

That's what I think is the answer here.

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]

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

Serenity

Serenity
13 years ago

Serenity

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
Serenity

be writing to do that.
Serenity

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.
Serenity

Even if I like the plot. I liked the plots for Greyhaven and Regan and Cin's story, at least the very basic plots.
Serenity

But it just came out -- wrong. Unnatural, it doesn't flo and it doens't sound right.

Serenity

I mean, I'd love to poke everything. But if I had to grab the ones I felt might have stories to them
Serenity

and I want to poke the most, they might be top of the list.
Serenity

.... 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.
