Text Excerpt From My WIP [IGNORE]

Text Excerpt From My WIP [IGNORE]

I'm just writing this since I got an amazing idea for this paragraph but it's not something I can write now so i'll write it here so I won't forget

"It would be incorrect to say that her death was the inciting incident to their (failed) suicide attempt. Not that it didn't weigh in on later matters but it's just not what caused the climatic failure that punctuated that evening. In actuality, the spark that lit the match was a thought that quickly fell away from my self-preservation's grasping hands. "I can't handle growing older anymore". From the moment my body was left to rot in that cold sterile prison, I was set apart from the human race through my brutality and immaturity. Dreams of riding our bikes to the waterfall framed by summer trees -- I wasn't meant to be there. Aspirations of wearing a champagne wedding dress with a cherised community cheering for my joy -- I wasn't meant to be loved.

"I want to die" as the curtains were mutilated

"I want to die" as I united with the ceiling.

"I want to die" as my feet were seperated from the chair.

I collapsed. Nearly landed on top of the corpse. It wasn't right. I was supposed to be falling into hell. Kissing the boots of Lucifer! Look, I don't know what you do in hell!? Anyway, that's not the point. I was alive.

I ran to door. Open. Closed. And stared into the mirror. It wasn't me. It was someone that was weeping as the tears stained their red cheecks. It was some monster with a mouth so stretched open and parted around a cry I was sure that this face of pure despair must have been etched in their birth. They looked like a baby crying for it's mom. I was a twenty-something with a mom who had been dead for too many years at this point. It wasn't me.

For my comedic answer, who says that what you eat in the morning can't be existential? For a more serious tone, I threw in that question to subtly focus on the mundanity of the overall post. People with PTSD have amazing moments and mundane moments. Sometimes as mundane as eating generic brand cereal in the morning. I just want to see that mundane nature to being human.

2. I am always willing to hear about a character :D

How To Write Trauma With Humanity

This short post is for those who think that they might be so focused on writing trauma well that they accidentally forget to write an actual character.

As someone who has an "interest" (read: deeply passionate and completely consuming dedication) for psychology and character analysis, I feel like sometimes writers don't really know how to write a character with trauma.

To quote a quote:

Don't Write A Traumatized Character, Write A Character With Trauma

I'm just trying to talk about those situations where the only interesting thing that we ever learn about this character is the fact that they have trauma and that's sad.

People tend to think that PTSD and trauma in general is just:

sit in dark, crying inconsolably about death

have nightmares

hide the fact that you have PTSD with broodiness

try to revenge

die tragically or happy ever after

Remember: Nobody has time for that

These people have obligations, responsibilities, family members, loved ones, and dreams that don't allow for this type of lifestyle.

Many people with PTSD *seem* like standard members of society. They sometimes participate in community activities. They have hobbies and vague interests that they put on their dating profile but don't really care about.

People with PTSD and trauma are interesting REGARDLESS of their trauma and trauma-related bullshit, not because.

If the only thing that's interesting about a character is what something else did to your character, it's not really interesting.

What's their dreams?

What do they like to eat in the morning?

What's their values?

The specific post this is about is called "How To Write Characters With Addiction"

Hi,been a while.

Hi,

This is me, Noura Ayman,

A medical lab specialist and I have been working in the Turkish Friendship Hospital for four years and studying a master's degree at Al-Aqsa University but have not yet finished it.

I am married to Ibrahim who works the same profession at Al-Shifa Hospital and we were studying a master's degree together.

My story in short is that we have been out of Gaza for treatment in Egypt since July 2023, and we have done an “in vitro fertilization” to give birth after four failed operations in Gaza.

We had a very beautiful baby.

But sadly that the war happened in Gaza in October 2023 and we have been stuck in Egypt ever since without any source of income, and I don't know how to provide for my beautiful daughter's Hanan needs and how to pay for the house and the rest of life, plus our house was bombed in Gaza.

So please support me to set up my own medical analysis laboratory and complete a master's degree in Egypt.

I've launched a https://gofund.me/32f1f5e4 campaign to start our life from the beginning.

I thank you very much for your interest and support.

If you find this story touching and wish to support then there is a gofundme page that this individual has created. Unfortunately I can not verify them so if that's a dealbreaker, there are several verified gofundme accounts from various palestinians.

This is for some of my other/older works since I absolutely can't get enough of talking about my OCs :D

Nuetral And Pearson: This is the funniest backstory for characters. Basically in my old science class whenever I was learning and doing projects on human biology, I would use Neutral Huemin (Neutral Human) and Pearson(Person)! They had children. They grew up. They adopted sentient plants that teach others about how plants work.

Alyenora, Coliuh, And Carver: Sci-Fi mixed with Isekai with a satirical perspective on some weird Sci-Fi themes. Alye hates this sci-fi book since it's one of those "I hate technology! Ignore how technology has advanced medicine, architecture, society, and everything that helps me!". Unfortunately, Isekai situation happens and Alyenora is forced to rely on Coliuh who is an investigation of the "Born Sexy Yesterday" trope and Carver who's a deep-dive into the "Everyman" trope.

Writers Challenge#4

Author Interview:

Hi guys.

It's me again and I guess I have another challenge this time and this is too all writers who haven't found their title, even if you have a title you can join.

OC inspirations.

And book inspirations.

How did your book grow into it now?

Was a fanfic to original story?

Vibes?

Optional.

What inspired you to write your WIP? It could be a book, a show, a person or even a character.

My current WIP is based on a Wolfblood, Twilight and Avatar:The Last Airbender.

Wolfblood gave me the way to write controlled werewolves, Twilight gave me my protagonist, Thalia but she was a nameless Black girl who had a relationship with a vampire and Avatar for my panther shifters but slowly the book changed, and the Avatar gave me inspo for her abilities and she was a mortal who lived with supernatural creatures.

So yeah.

Thats it.

The vibe is a snowy winter wonderland filled with secrets and monsters and strange happenings after a strange human girl meets a tribe of Inuit werewolves.

The tone is quite dark at first.

Sorry for the tags.
