Gemini And Cancer? For The Zodiac Asks

Gemini and cancer? For the zodiac asks

gemini: how often will your plot change throughout the course of writing?

I usually outline heavily before I write, so the plot doesn’t change drastically, but I do change the timing of some things!

cancer: how do you write emotional scenes? do you ever feel what the characters feel?

Emotional scenes take me a very, very long time to write- it’s 90% staring at the screen and thinking about what happens, thinking about the proper dialogue, what feels right, etc, and 10% jotting it down when I’m happy-ish with it. And yes, I totally feel what the characters are feeling!

thanks so much for the asks!!

Reblog if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, transgender or a supporter.

This should be reblogged by everyone. Even if you’re straight, you should be a supporter.

zodiac writing asks!

aries: when have you felt the most confident in your writing? when have you felt the least confident?

taurus: how long will you spend on a story or scene before you give up?

gemini: how often will your plot change throughout the course of writing?

cancer: how do you write emotional scenes? do you ever feel what the characters feel?

leo: what things will show up in every book you write? do you ever feel like a one-trick pony?

virgo: are you very critical of your own writing? how much do you find yourself editing (either during the writing or after the fact)?

libra: how do you balance writing and life? do you ever feel overwhelmed by the amount of writing you have to do?

scorpio: how much research did you have to do for your current wip? what was the weirdest thing you had to google?

sagittarius: do you find your writing humorous? do you have any comic relief characters? what do you do if a scene gets too serious?

capricorn: what does your writing schedule look like? how often does it take you to write a chapter?

aquarius: what is the most unique thing about your current wip?

pisces: how do you visualize scenes? do you see it like a movie in your head, or do the words just flow?

for the zodiac asks, could you do capricorn and aquarius since those are our signs? <3

capricorn: what does your writing schedule look like? how often does it take you to write a chapter? I love you to bits Briar, but this is a bad question to ask. To tell the truth, I have none. I’m trying to though, with the April prompts, but they’ve been a panic before midnight so I don’t think it’s working well. And chapters? I used to do them over a couple of days since I posted the first draft, and they were all relatively short. I’m definitely going back and rewriting them because I’d like to think I’ve improved

aquarius: what is the most unique thing about your current wip?

I think the powers that my trio have (not that I can elaborate on that much because it’s still not introduced in my book and I don’t want to spoil anything. But maybe people want to hear about them? Let me know? No pressure) since I made an effort to come up with something I’ve not seen before. And also possibly the fact that I killed off most of Earth’s population in the prologue. Yeahhh

Thank you @ashen-crest !!

Is there a genre you'd like to try writing in, but are afraid to?

Mystery. I am very blatent with most things in my writing, there's no suspense or buildup. I don't read a lot of those books, but the ones that do have an element of mystery are so intriguing.

What's the easiest part of writing for you?

Banter between characters. If they have good chemistry, I can write pages and pages of dialogue with them

I'll tag @pagesofcursive, @writing-is-a-martial-art and @wannabeauthorzofija for these questions

Where do you struggle most in character creation?

And

What's your favourite thing about your writing?

Writer Questions Tag

Thanks for the tag, @sparkles-and-hens! Here were the questions I got:

What’s a word that you, no matter how many times you write it, cannot spell? 

Caribbean. (I spelled it wrong when I typed it here, too- it’s only one r!)

And,

Have you ever completely lost faith in yourself as a writer? How and why?

Hmm. I think it was late high school/early college, as they would have coincided with, you know, my horrible bout of low self-esteem. That probably had something to do with it.

Tagging @ettawritesnstudies and @apocalypsewriters to answer the following questions (if you want!):

Is there a genre that you’d like to try writing in, but are afraid to?

and

What’s the easiest part of writing for you?

would you like to tell everyone aunt jetta’s origin story? it is a wonderful one~

(thank you for helping me find this)

So.... at the beginning of when Briar and I developing all our characters, I decided that Nyx (Briar’s character) had a too sad backstory. I “requested an aunt” so she wouldn’t be so alone. Dawn already existed at this point (albeit unnamed if memory serves me correctly) so Aunt Jetta was attached to her.
