Hmmmm stuff I'm working on....
These are among the hardest weeks of the year at work, so I have not had the energy to work on the stuff I usually do. My rewrite of
Built for Risk has slowed down to a crawl, for one.
What I'm doing instead to try and loosen my narrative wrists is to write random fragments of whatever comes up, Pokémon-wise. Scenes that could reasonably happen with the characters that I have in mind, even if they don't take part of a story that is going to be worked on for the time being.
Am I going to pastebin them or post them somewhere? Honestly I don't know. Since they are simple things, they are very short, they don't have anything like a plot or quality going for them, they are all disconnected from each other. What do people think about "mini-works" in general?
...If I can make enough of them it might make some sense to post them as an Anthology, maybe.
I'm currently working on... well, many things, but a big one for me right now is my Pokemon Mystery Dungeon story, Legacy of Hatred.
Good! The world needs more PMD content, and it's always good to have. I'm wsishing you the best here.
And if I can help you spend time in worldbuilding more productively, shoot me a word.
Motivation's also not something you just wake up with, ideally. It can really be beneficial to force motivation. But if writing's just something to relax to, I don't think it really carries the same weight.
This so much this. You can't forcefully motivate yourself to write and
still call it motivation, unless it's some kind of self-blackmail "offer you can't refuse" kind of thing. And we like or or not what we write begrudgingly is, well, begrudged writing.
All that said, "I want to get these plot bunnies off my damn head" seems to be very good self-motivation.
Compiling neat sounding spell/power names, for my general reference.
Do feel free to share somewhere, we could pool more resources~
