As the Title says I'm writing up a Biestiary for my series given it'll span over several books I figure it'd be good to get all the monsters and other races on paper so I'm not constantly coming up with new monsters but need some help. ​ I've split the monsters into at the moment 13 categories the Category I'm working on right now is Cursed Beings so monsters like Werewolves, Werebears, Skinwalkers, etc... but I need more Cursed Monsters like that. ​ When I search online it tells me about Banshees but I already have that for my Specter category then you got vampires and that's closer but I've ..read more

Hi writers of Reddit, I'm plucking away at a story again. In the first chapter, I am trying to establish my main character, and the plot. He is a prison guard in a magical society who feels trapped and is unhappy with his situation. I write a slice of life for about 4,500 words on the job in a cavernous underground unit and end on a fight. Now, I'm wondering how to develope my second chapter. The plot is to carry the Protagonist out of the city, into a smaller town, that falls under attack by an unknown monster. Ultimately, a magic devices teleports the monster and characters back into the pr ..read more

I’m doing a level English literature and despite being a very talented story/ creative writer, essays have been something I usually have to practice. Recently I’ve been banging out a lot of essays and I haven’t written anything creative in a while I don’t really have the time or energy for it. My dream is to be a creative but I have a fear my brain will become acclimated to the structures of literature essays and idk maybe I’ll like lose my touch in my scripts/ stories probably just me being irrationally dumb and rejecting studying. But as someone who makes stuff sometimes I get a bit of an e ..read more

I have so many ideas, but my brain thinks of everything like a movie, and sometimes it can get hard understanding what’s important. I see all the vivid colors, the camera angles and panning, the switch between characters and all the tiny details. I try to write it out and it becomes so muddled. I also struggle with plot points. I have so many major ideas but it’s the little details to carry the story between that I struggle figuring out. submitted by /u/Rainshine93 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

There's all these arbitrary rules about what you're supposed to do or not do and how you're supposed to fit your writing into a neat little box that publishers know what to do with. And everything has to be either YA or not YA when really the target demo for everything I write is autistic people aged 16-80 and that's not a demo a publisher understands so basically no one will read what I write so why even bother There's also the issue that I don't have great love for literature and would rather make films, but in screenplays you're not supposed to give in-depth descriptions or give characters ..read more

Hello Everyone, Happy Thursday. I'm currently working on a second story. More of a psychological/creature horror story. Also running with the trope where no one believes the MC. I can't make up my mind if I should write in First or Third? I do read quite a bit but never a story where no one believes the MC. My first story I wrote was in third and I felt that it was more natural. submitted by /u/cautiously_anxious [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey! There's been a few posts about this topic, and I posted a Spotify playlist I made awhile ago that I cycle to while I write often. That playlist has had a lot of plays and even some followers, so I thought I would post a second playlist I've been working on. I focused on Afro-Harp and Spiritual Jazz for this new one. If you are curious about or missed the first playlist, let me know in the comments. Happy writing! submitted by /u/realmballantyne [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
