real AO3 readers will wait as long as it takes for their favorite fic to get completed, come back to check if there’s a new chapter after years even if the author said they lost the spark to write, will leave kudos and comment, will hype fic saying hey I read it 6 years ago BUT
my writing process was always: i felt something → starts rambling
nowadays if i can consider myself a writer is just a random dialogue that pops into my mind and then i start from there
okay asking for a friend HOW DO YOU START WRITING A FIC?? i know this is different for everyone but if you have ANY advice pls comment. sometimes when i read fics im so inspired to write something but whenever i wanna actually start my head is blank. what is an easy first step?
