my prompt writing is usually a scene for/from my project so I can just use it for my project

Eventually I'd like to include most/all my Thing scenes into the story. So some of my prompts are that too. I just can't say what will or will not fit at this stage.

A good idea would be to start a beta reading group

I have so many ideas for little clips of things and even scenes that won’t fit into the foreseeable plot and writing in a linear manner is extremely excruciating for me but I’m forcing myself to sit and do it.

It just gets tricky when have like 50 docs all with around 200 words of random scenes all titled something like, “the RaNdOmNeSs (idk what im doinnnggg)” cuz then I have no idea what anything is and forget that I even wrote it.

I'm at about 7,000 on a novel that I'm working on! I'm curious as how you all beef up chapters. Mine are way to short and to the point lol. I like to do these excersises where you pick a random person in public and recreate a person in the image of them using ai. Then i assign them a personality, name etc. It was supposed to turn into short stories but one took off into my novel in progress lol.

You're talking to the person with about three active timelines in their head rn This is also me forcing myself but I also don't like to too much. I write what I want to write when I feel like it otherwise I'd live in writer's block.

Trust me, it just as easy to lose stuff when you keep it in one place...
6000 words of random brain thoughts is a lot to sort through...

Do you use Google docs?

I have this problem too
My draft haaaassss…6 chapters I think? Well almost. I’m finishing 6 up. And ~16k words
Usually I just pack as many POVs in there as I can whilst keeping the timeline as steady as possible and see where the plot takes me because my imagery is sparse and I underwrite.

If I see a chapter that just refuses to be longer I see if there’s any descriptive language I should have added first and go from there

Yes
I use Google docs for basically any writing I can, school projects included so everything is a mess in there

As the most unprofessional person present...

I don't.


In fact I did away with chapters cause I hate 'em
