Hello I'm new, I usually go on just write fanfic for my fav books and stuff but I rarely post them...Them someone said 'oh why dont u find a comunity of writers.' and i was like 'I don't think that exsists...' but it does...I like writing even though im not the best and I rely on autocorrect way too much...I write dystopian and fantasy kind of things, I also do poems...I'm in the middle of a book but idk if i should post a chapter if u would like to see it just ask [i need constructive critisism...] Anyways, bye.

Chapter VIII: Chess is out. Go read it, maybe? :)

When writing dialogue is there a key difference between writing it as this:

"This is an example!" The author spoke loudly.

"Here's another example!" The author replied.

Vs this:

"Is this better?"

"No!"

Is there an obvious difference to reader or is it easier for a certain way. I always thought doing it like the top was easier especially for those with reading conditions such as dyslexia, so there's a clear transition between the persons speech.

What are you thoughts?

I am Chrome, I write dystopian, thrillers, fantasy, and fan fiction.

If you have wattpad, you can see some of my older works at Chrome_Chrome.

I was wondering if I could ask a few questions that y’all could help me with?

The plot of my story is about how a musician went missing, and the mc uncovers the mystery of how the musician published a song while being “ missing “.

The mc meets this dude, and they end up solving the mystery together, though the mc doesn’t want to continue— after things get a “ little too real “. The dude she was working with manipulates her into continuing.

Why does the dude want to help the mc solve the mystery?

Why does he manipulate the mc?

I have a strict routine to follow however once I've finished my daily commitments I don't have the energy to sit and write.

The past few weeks have been difficult and I can't seem to find the words in my head like I used to.

I know I'm stressed with other things and my disability doesn't help me much either however I can't seem to get my head together to perfectly space everything out throughout the day so I still have time and energy to write.

Any advice please?

Hi! I'd like to introduce myself! I'm Tug, like my username says lol, and I've been writing and creating stories my whole life. I started taking it seriously and started posting these stories online back in 2018, which is also the same year I joined Fandom! I like to code and draw too!

My current stories are:

Desdemona - A story about a young knight named Ari tasked to go look for her best friend, Arran, who ran away. It gets darker as the story goes on. The first chapter is up and there's nothing explicit in it yet so feel free to read it! But I will be putting warning for chapters or even posting edited chapters instead in the future if there is explicit content.

Menhitia's Child - I've been working on this story for 10 years (since 2015!) and it started off as an animal jam fanfiction lol but I finally made it into an original story just last year. It follows a run away wolf, Jack, who is prince of Calliare and he joins his uncle, Junior, in the woods. There, he's trained to channel his powers and gain strength. But he's soon forced to help his uncle free the goddess Menhitia from her prison in the woods. It does have the chosen one trope but the chosen one is Junior, not Jack. Hopefully it's not too cringe but then again I made this in 2015 loll but i was edgy back then so it had gore but now not as much so i'd put this in the moderate tag. Haven't posted it here yet because I'm working on rewriting it. I had it written down back in 2020-2022 so it's quite old and very bad lol

Eudiamonia - Slice of life story revolving around the characters from Desdemona. Nothing much else to say :p

Im KaiaCrazyKiza, better known as Kiza, Kai, and Kaia to many.

I just need some positive criticism & opinions on what I have written for a Shadow Milk x Pure Vanilla fanfic I'm writing on wattpad!

This is a draft for chapter one, so it's no completely finished:P

This is also very OOC for characters in the CRK game, I'm not good at writing fandom characters--

"Let me be your friend."

Shadow Milk Cookie let out a growl to himself. Friend? FRIEND?!

He didn't need a friend! He- he had two minions.. okay maybe they weren't really 'friends', but...

That still counted for something, right? He.. he wasn't lonely. He wasn't...

Why did he keep lying to himself?

Of course, he was lonely... of course, he wanted a friend!

Stuck in that... God danm tree for who knows how long. To be free, do what he was meant to do... then have that...

Wretched Pure Vanilla Cookie suggests being 'friends'?!

Hah! Well, that's not how being a beast cookie works!

"Master Shadow Milk?" The voice rang into the cookie's ears. Pricking his head up, he looked over.

Putting on his normal 'Mischievous-and-plotting' grin.

"Black Sapphire!" He hummed out, "What brings ya' here?"

Shadow Milk watched as Black Sapphire Cookie blinked at him. He tapped one of his nails on the wooden desk, waiting impatiently.

"I'm waiting." He hissed out. Black Sapphire cleared his throat and spoke.

"Me and Candy Apple Cookie found signs of.. the ancients near--"

"WHAT?!" Shadow Milk snarled. They were still HERE and NEARBY?! They should have left! How did they--

Pure Vanilla.

The beast cookie's eyes narrowed, staring sharply out of a window. He hissed lowly. Of course, Pure Vanilla would find a way to find him...

The cookie scoffed. He was in no shape or had enough strength, to fight the ancients...

"Lock the place down," he instructed, "Send out the Shadow Wolves. It'll keep them distracted for a good enough time."

Black Sapphire was about to respond, though dipped his head, and went off to do as he was told.

Shadow Milk frowned, a feeling of frustration coming to him. Why did that.. nuscience has to somehow find him. How...

His jaw stiffened, hands clenching the front edge of the desk. That wretched cookie thinks he can offer friendship, and then find him again?

That...

Breath. Idiot. Breath.

He silently scolded himself, rubbing the back of his neck. He sighed. Staring out of the window.

Stars lightly glittered in the sky. It was a clear night out. No rain--thankfully--so.. maybe he could take a break.

The cookie floated over to the window, opening it. With a grunt, he staggered out, and onto the roof.

Shadow Milk leaned back, shifting to the side.

Staring silently at the stars, he traced constellations he recognized with his finger.

Gemini, Canis Minor, Lynx, Auriga...

He liked stars.

Ever since Silent Salt Cookie and Mystic Flower introduced him to astronomy...

Silent Salt.

He remembered Silent Salt. The quiet, overall calm, Cookie. Er.. before the corruption.

Now.. he doesn't know. He hadn't seen Silent Salt in forever...

Ever since the corruption took effect on Silent Salt and the others.. they barely interacted.

Hopefully Silent Salt was okay. He missed his fellow cookie.

Why are you this worried? You shouldn't care this much!

Shadow Milk mentally cursed at himself, burying his face in his hands. Curling up into a small, loose ball. A choked cry came out of his throat.

Pings

@Both my pings are blocked T-T

I know it varies on author but I have 6 unfinished drafts, I'm working in my 7th and hoping it's the first one with an ending. This time around I have more and more vision and notes and a reasonable idea. But I still feel like I need to work on sections more, so still a few more drafts to go.

Theoretically if I made a book series

Can I do four books based on the older sisters footsteps finishing her father's unfinished business with a school enemy

But then at book 5 switch pov to the little sister who goes on her own adventures at the same school but the enemy is no longer a threat thanks to the big sister

But have a side plot of the mother with her fancy romantic family stuff

How do I make a page on here?

Actually, I want to write.

So, how do I make a page on here? I have my fanfic ready to go and I wanna post it on here, but I don't know how

So ... I'll give you some context because I've never spoken here before. In the 2020 lockdown I really began to enjoy the idea of writing a book. I had a dream and decided to turn it into a story. After about a few months I became really inspired. Fast forward to 2023 and I re-read my story that was unfinished. It was horrible, incredibly vague, too much drama, it was so weird so in a brief moment of despair ... I deleted it all. In June 2024, I had a major idea that was well though out, I planned it in a notebook (the base layer of the cake) and started typing. Draft 1 became too crazy therefore it's unfinished. Draft 2 was too off point therefore it's unfinished. Draft 3 & 4 I became bored with so it's unfinished. Draft 5 I progressed more but then I stopped and now it's unfinished.

I'm currently on draft 6, and I can't get it quite right. It's getting there, better ideas but I physically cannot put the words into the right bit. I started off showing not telling but as I go along it's increasingly loosing touch. I'm on chapter 3 now and meh I don't know.

How long/how much does it usually take to get it the way you want?

Should I give up?

I'm Doodles, and I'm kinda new to writing. I plan to become an author and express my story ideas to you all! I just have a tiny problem. I get writer's block, or I think it's a type of writer's block.

I'll explain. I come up with a story idea, I have it all planned out in my head from beginning to end, but the problem is that I don't know how to start writing the story. I don't even know if it counts as writer's block! I know how the story goes, it's just that I don't know how to write it! Whether I'm writing on my computer or on a sheet of paper, I struggle to write my stories because I have this problem.

Can you guys give me any advice to help me and maybe tell me if this problem actually has a name of its own.

I'm proud I found this wiki!
