ok maybe i do these https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530375944245250
nope.... i have a single google doc for wip ideas, then when i begin writing they get individual planning docs....... but no notes https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530378251055105
i guess the most important aspect of mood in a scene is the environment? like what specific details the characters are noticing, the lighting, the sky, etc...... also what details they're paying attention to in the other person (if there is one!) https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530379966525440
OO i very much start with scene ideas... most of my fics start as single scenes i think would be neat and then i write the plots around them haha..... it can be very hard stitching disparate scenes together tho.... this is why i write kinda slow sometimes https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530381698727944
probably a lot of them though idk if i can think of any off the top of my head
characters doing thing softly or gently is my most annoying habit tho https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530383405809665

mmmmm not really??? i think i'm pretty well-read in the genres im interested in so i have an idea of how to tackle them..... if i wanted to write like a scfi-fi fic that would be problematic but luckily i have no interest haha https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530385163264000

Yes. almost always..... jltm renjun & jeno and fiil renjun biggest offenders https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530391400189953
uhh idk if i have one specific trope i tend to repeat.... if anyone can think of something lmk haha https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530393585426432
all of the above!! i tend to write about things im already interested in & know a lot about, but some of my fics do require a lot of research. some of them i did (guiltily) play a bit by ear.... wwbft was mostly intuition considering the limited amount + https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530396554997762
of public info about idol life/training/etc available
just a moodboard rlly?? i dont use visual references that much https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530403341447168
UHH more like scenes i would add/delete altogether.... special mention to the deletion of the sicheng scene in ch 17 of wwbft, and the addition of a scene at jeno's house with his parents in both jltm and wmu... i regret to this day https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530407120494592
idk if this answers the question but i didnt rlly expect wmu to get emotional/dramatic so that was a fun surprise considering the premise should have just ended up as smut LMAO https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530410542956545
hhh also doesnt rlly answer this but oyh kind of??? just in the sense that i did not consider the difficulty in having such a limited scope (just rj/jn and their relationship) so filling chapters was hard sometimes haha https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530414066266113
type! though i really miss writing on paper.... havent done it since high school.... maybe i should try it again and see if its helpful https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530416238911488
i usually read over once for edits then post..... so very sparse editing. most of my edits come after posting when i notice typos in my published chapter and hurriedly go back and fix them haha https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530418159857664
gdocs auto spellcheck i guess? thats it https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530420206673920
as much as necessary!! i use them the majority of the time, but drop them if theres a back and forth where its very obvious who's speaking https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530421888589824
said tbh, but other than that.... mumbled? murmured? muttered? love the m tags..... very useful https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530423872454656
high school!!!! love high school fluff
i also rlly like historical aus!! i really want to write more of them! https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530427496431618

i usually break something down into scenes first by writing a 1 line summary of what happens in each scene..... i dont have wc goals for scenes or whole fics, but i do try to make my chapters 5k+ https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530429320892420
playing coy almost never pays off..... its more helpful to be direct with your readers than intentionally vague and "mysterious" https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530431371915266
anything that encourages a higher word count or more complex sentences..... if you can write it in fewer words and still get the same point across, then you should cut the extas out. wc =/ quality https://twitter.com/discountghosts/status/1313530433376747520
+ oh also, "show don't tell", not because its bad advice, but bc its constantly being misapplied. it isn't meant to be a blanket statement. show most of the time, but tell when you need to be efficient (see previous tweet)
ok gonna stop for now and maybe pick this thread up again later
