Writing An Outline For A New Work And I Have The Characters, The Settings, The Concepts, The Back Stories,

Writing an outline for a new work and I have the characters, the settings, the concepts, the back stories, the playlists, the rough art work-- everything other than the plot. I have no plot.

I swear, once I get over my crippling writing anxiety, impossible expectations, and the baggage surrounding my idea of what a “writer” is…it’s over for you bitches.

This is me. Kinda jealous of all the writers who can write quickly because I can't.

I want to read a fanfic. Not any fanfic, my fanfic, with the tone I like in the scenario I pictured and the right banter between the characters.

The only problem is that I haven't write it yet.

But I know that If I did

I would like it very much

Me, writing something at 1 am: Omg I'm literally a genius this words sound amazing I ate totally whith this one omfg

The writing:

Working on my novel and couldn’t figure out why it felt so empty. I didn’t have any filler. It was all 100% plot. The characters only interacted when necessary. I didn’t prattle on about the scenery or how the birds sounded. I had all my fuller stuff that I loved saved in another file because I “didn’t need it”.

Y’all, I knew this existed in TV shows but it didn’t hit me until this that everything is being whittled down. We are so starving for filler that we snap up anything. I unload all mine on Tumblr or keep it in a massive Google Docs. It SUCKS.

Honestly? Death to plot necessity. Revive filler. Revive unnecessary interactions. Revive just vibing with characters sometimes. I don’t want to just consume the plot and I don’t want to just create the plot either.
