(Too terrified to ask this on my blog, so anon it is π)
This may be a dumb question, or one that's hard to answer, but do you have any advice for writing long pieces of work without dragging on? The longest fic I've ever written is 4k. I feel like, if I try to write something long, I over explain stupid things like how they positioned their legs when they climbed over a fence and stuff like that. You're writing is so clear, and it's never dragging on or over-explaining, yet it's really long. So yeah, I'm just asking if you've got any tips on that.
well, I think number one itβs important to remember that no length is key! Just because a fic is βlong,β doesnβt mean itβs telling a story well. plenty of fantastic stories can be told in 4k or less :)
but I think that most of the length in my writing is coming from emphasis on internal monologue / character building and repetition hehe
a lot of my writing is a character reflecting on how they feel about whatβs happening and how thatβs informing actions taking place around them.
When I write, I sort of follow the format of βaction tag, internal monologue, description, reflection on whatβs happened thus far in the story to remind readers whatβs happening and also to inform future character decisions based on past ones, and finally, some rhetorical questions for emphasis.β
I also try to make that sort of dispersed when writing so it doesnβt read like Iβm going off a Format.
I donβt know if this is actually going to make any sense to anyone but me lmfao but I tried to color coordinate the format im talking about w/ two scenes. One from my long fic Scene 14 and one from my fic Fine Print
pink = dialogue
orange = action currently happening
green = flowery cushion shit that establishes sense of character and conflict
yellow = references to previous points in the fic that inform the characters current decisions / thoughts
blue = questions π
Theoretically, you should be able to see how these things are dispersed throughout so it doesnβt make it feel like itβs being βover explainedβ or too wordy or dragging on, like you said! I try to never spend too much time on one thing.
I used to over write like crazy (and people could tell yikes) because I spent too much time on one thing, and I also repeated shit like crazy. So my best advice to you is to just try to play around !! Mix and match action with dialogue and setting description and internal monologue !! Donβt stay on one boat too long!
and remember that each line in your story should inform the next!

GIVE ME THE WILL TO WRITE AND BE CREATIVE!
PLEASE
DUCK IS LORD
PLS MY BLOG IS DyYiNgGgG
PRAISE THE DUCK OF CREATIVITY π
If you are making a boy character into a girl character for a gender swap art thing you better put that bulk back on that girl or so help me. You think girls are allergic to muscles? To fat? Do you think big bulky butch women are imaginary or something?? If that boy is as wide as a fridge that girl better be a deep freezer. Cowardice. Rights for women that are built like a tank!
a terrifying chair that i would never sit in
I want my ass in this immediately
You: rolling around in office chair
Me: hanging from the ceiling waiting for prey to walk under me
sure happy pride Iβm glad you found your community but are you normal about straight queers, disabled queers, fat queers, non-white queers, masc queers, queer men, queers who use βconfusingβ labels, queers who use βcontradictoryβ labels, queers who identify with slurs, multigender queers and their attraction labels, and trans and intersex peopleβs bodies?
I had an interesting night last night
I ugly-laughed at this... you win
ok.
im sorry he just literally looks like a little pizza
Pizza Slug! Pizza Slug! Pizza Slug!
ok!
about a month ago, my uncle asked if I had a significant other. I appreciate his gender inclusivity, of course.
I'm used to the question. it's not like it's something outrageous that he's asking. so I simply said no, that's not for me.
he looked at me and said "well, someday." not someday maybe, just.... someday.
of course I'm not quick to anger, but there's a part of me that's a little more defensive about my aroace identity. so I jumped to my defense.
my uncle isn't a bad guy, he's quite nice and tries his best to be respectful in the current political shit storm by supporting queer people. but apparently that does exclude me, an aroace.
I reiterated that I'm just not interested in a romantic or sexual partnership, and I really do not ever see that changing.
and he said something to the effect of "it's okay if you don't want that now."
and I said, "no, it's just okay that I don't want that."
and he said that I was pessimistic. as if I was secretly searching for a relationship or a partner, but was rejecting love because I could not find one.
I calmly (with all the rage in my veins) told him "no, a life without love or sex is something optimistic for me."
he had the gall to look horrified.
I'm sick of aroace people not being seen as normal human people when they don't want the outcome of their life to look like everyone else's. I'm sick of the white picket fence, I'm sick of the assumption that everyone has another half out there.
I'm whole on my own.
