"Basically, this thread is for writers to come and chat about whatever it is they are working on"

I suppose I'll try. Although I'm shy to talk about my works because I fear folks will laugh at me.. *Takes a deep breath* I'm trying to write a series of super hero tales. But I'm having trouble starting them. Perhaps I should stop trying to make realistic stories and dive into the crazy world of "insane hero origin stories."

I wrote a poem about buttons the other morning. I woke up at like 4am with one line in my head, and then another one came, and then it just kinda swirled around my head until I typed it out at 5am. Which is weird because I suck at poetry and I don't really read poetry either.
And incredibly frustrating because I wrote something other than the thing I've been plotting and dying to get to work on for the past week. :|

You can put the $50 on my royalties tab

 

[Meg]

As far as for what I'm working on.....errrr....I'd like to say the reason I haven't been writing for pleasure much is because off school, but that would be lying.

 

[lorddemolatron]

I write some fanfics, some of them are finished as Im focusing on multicrossover Cyberpunk Fantasy Fanfic called chronicles of Arcea, from beggining I tell that I will need some guidance on ideas as writing in mixed genre is hard sometimes.

 

[Dante's Stalker]

Finally gave my story a working title, which hopefully means I can start writing it now.
Um.
Well.
After I do some other stuff.
WHY IS THERE ALWAYS OTHER STUFF? D:

*massiveawesomebump*

[Ronan]

Can I pay my monthly deposit in muffins?


As for me, I'm doing a big rewrite. Changing things that didn't work, fixing things that work so they'll work better, etc. When I have the time that is. I seem to be too busy to give my characters any form of attention lately.

 

[Meg]

Me? I haven't been writing much at all. -_-' I have been reading a lot though ^^! I am working on a li'l something something that's gonna make most of my friends hate me. Hehe...

 

[Railazel]

I have this idea of mine where a little girl takes a homeless guy into her house after he protects her from some aggressors and her father makes him rich by making him a boxing star. Just a small, cute story.

 

[Dante's Stalker]

I gave up on a Mother's Lullaby.
I've got a new plot brewing in my head.
Boil boil boil and bubble....

 

[Meg]

I'm working on the outline for a story I've been slowly working on. I'm almost done with it and then I'm gonna start working hard on writing the rough draft.

 

[V's patron]

For my screenwriting class, i wrote 30 pages of a screenplay for a story called SHIV that im gonna revise.

 

[ROCKMAN X]

I currently writing a review on Arkham city idk if that's considered a real work i just do it for fun

 

[mrrandomlulz]

I'm currently shipping Fluttershy with the predator

Current writing side projects include a piece of self-indulgent cathartic autobiographical fluff heavily disguised as a medieval gothic horror, and features all the family members/people who've screwed me up over the years in some form or other. Mother is an alcoholic closet vampire for example, and father goes mad and throws himself off the castle roof to open the tale. The only 'normal' and likeable person in it appears to be a character based on my step-dad. Everyone else is a dingleberry. My character is certainly a bit of an ass, and it gets worse. Fun so far.

Also some DxV crack for my friend. I intended it to be short, but it's already at 14,000 words and I haven't got to the smut yet. Lol.

 

[Dante's Stalker]

I'm writing short stories/spin offs from an old novel, basing each one off a 50 word prompt list that Shadow sent me aaaaaages ago. Gotta keep it flowin', flowin'.

 

[Dante's Stalker]

*bump*
:devil:

What are the top 5 questions you ask your characters, to get to 'know' them better?

 

[Meg]

I'm writing a screenplay about my life because I feel like there should be a movie about me.

And what questions would I ask my characters?

1. What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?
2. Do you have any unusual habits? If so, what are they?
3. What songs do you just hate?
4. What kind of learner are you?
5. When was the last time you woke up in the middle of the night, and what did you think about?

DS, we should drag our characters in here and have them answer some of these questions.

 

[LysseC]

Going down a looooooong list of prompts in less than 60 words each. Trying to vary genres.
It started as a DMC project, with Vergil as the main focus, but while I was halfway to the end, DmC was released, I found myself lacking good ideas for DMC (inventing 400 different situations without being too repetitive was too much of a challenge for me), and so I settled with continuing with DmC prompts instead of DMC ones.

And I really am a terrible writer, I haven't completed a writing project in my life. It really bugs the crap out of me, lacking the ability to stick to a project until the end.
