Struggling Writers’ Daily Den: rant, share, complain, ask, daily progress thing (Part 2)

Since I am in a plotting and planning frenzy on my newfound plotter website and app, I have still not started the first chapter or prologue for any of my working project novels.

That’s fine! I am getting use to the plotting and planning all over again.
So, that is fun and challenging!

Nothing else to report. Over and out!

I tried Plottr. It has potential. I think my issue is, when I have apps like that, I get sucked into organizing and “setting up” that I don’t actually write anything. I guess I have to be messy first before I organize versus some people I guess can do it visa versa.

New idea from a dream! (Lots of my ideas are inspired by dreams) I’m wondering if I should attempt a horribly sloppy comic, at least a page 1 even if it’s stick figures. Starts off with the MC wandering in an urban area, it’s extremely dark even for “night time” and while the area is familiar, something is not quite right. :wink: Not meant to be a horror, maybe a little bit thriller and def supernatural. :thinking:

Someone stop me. I’m still writing two novels and editing another hahahahahaha :sob:

Furst draft The Essence of U:

At this point, I need Uri getting out in jail, him struggling to catch up in school, their merging, and his decision to leave town after he graduates, and this 1st is done. Ugh.

Then I can go onto the n3xt thing.

I’m over my writer’s block for this spell. Yay. My writing is slow for new content, but I’ve been working on audionovel content that I release to YouTube. Been fun. Hope your writing is going well.

If I put this line, does it make sense? Like can you picture it, or is it confusing/would it distract you from reading?

I can hang, but you need the heavily visual to weigh on on this.

i’m just wondering if shchshed is leaning a wee bit too hard into imaginary onomatopoeia territory

Well, the real word would likely be squelched.
