Do you write in past tense or present tense? Why do you prefer one?

When I started writing three years ago, I used to write in the past tense. My first two published stories are told in the past.

And then I saw that meme somewhere here on Tumblr...

@the-wip-project Day 75

That ended me 😆 (and my past tense story-telling)

Since the disappointing loss of the Trojan war, Jimin’s sexual appetite has admittedly been a little more voracious than usual. Still, there’s nothing wrong with getting some good dick in. It shouldn’t be an issue.

His husband and best friends apparently disagree. They take it upon themselves to trap him to his marriage bed mid-affair and bind him just as tightly to a no-sex vow for three months. But even beaten, Jimin doesn’t go down so easily. Will his tenacity win out or will his friends finally succeed in getting through to him?

OR

A retelling of Greek mythology inspired by the tale of Hephaestus trapping Aphrodite and Ares during sex and having the other gods and goddesses come in to laugh at them, except it’s a well-intentioned intervention instead and the only one laughing is Jin at his own jokes. The story follows Jimin as Aphrodite as he struggles with a sex addiction and navigating his relationships old and new.

@the-wip-project Day 42

What’s an an old idea that you’ve discarded?

The honest truth is that there are actually 5 wips in my greenhouse.

Two of them have made their way out of it straight to the main house, in full daylight, to be pampered, watered, nurtured into growth. One of these is already the size of a monstera, the other is giving me nice and healthy stems :)

There are three left. One is a single stem, green and proud but barely an inch tall. I started writing it, erased, rewrote, erased, rewrote. But the whole plot is planned out in my mind; the moodboard has been ready for ages (one of the first thing I did when the idea budded) and I know I'm attached to it. I just can't write it, for some obscure reason, but I can't discard it either. There's another that hasn't made it to my computer yet, but has remained there, in its earthy, seemingly barren pot. I water it once in a while, the roots look healthy still. I don't know what to do with this one.

Finally, there's this dry heap of dust, with a withered, blackened stem jutting akimbo in the middle. I haven't tended that one in years and I'm ashamed to say, I'm letting it die. I initially wanted to adapt an old classic play, "Les Fâcheux" ("The Bores" in English, I think) So classic and old that hardly anybody knows it in my country, despite having been written by Molière. I came across it while tidying up my bedroom at my mom's and read it. The language is dated, but the idea is funny. Set in a modern setting, I used to think it could be a fun read. It narrates the day of the protagonist, determined to propose the love of his life despite her tutor's objection. He's on his way to fulfill his goal at all costs, but is constantly hindered by a series of drags, bothering him with various topics.

Even now as I write it, I seriously doubt the actual fun in that plot, just as I doubt my skill in making it funny :\

Day 1

Day 1

Welcome! Welcome!

This is the first day of the storybible project so let me give you a short explanation how I think this could go.

For 14 days I’ll make a post on this blog with a little homework. These will be short assignments, I don’t think you’ll need to spend more than 10 minutes on it. It’s up to you how you’ll use these assignments and how public you want to make them. Use the tag #WIPstorybible and mention this blog if you want more people to read them. 

I don’t plan to reblog all your posts but I’ll try to read them all. If I reply to one it will be with my main @barbex​, just so you know. 

I want you to think about a new or an underdeveloped WIP as you write down your notes. In the end, you’ll have the beginnings of a storybible that you can expand and refer to as you work on your story. 

Sounds good? Then let’s get started. 

Today’s assignment is about worldbuilding. 

Weather. 

What kind of weather is normal in your world? Does your world have seasons?

Make up a weather event in the past that people in your world still talk about.
