i'm really consistent at writing placeholders for significant objects & names in my WIPs

[finn ✦ blorbos on my brain @solvmori]

writing a story with dozens of total characters will have you working on one with only a dozen, and worrying, "is that really enough? don't i need way more than that?"

[finn ✦ blorbos on my brain @solvmori]

found in my wip notes:
"I'd really like everyone to look a bit different at the end. [Char A] has [a hair colour change], maybe [Char B] has a scar on their face, [Char C] is a corpse"

genuinely, i do not know what came over me when i decided to aim at ancient greece for my first wip out of five (a setting i'm not particularly familiar with or interested in at all) but maybe that'll change soon

[finn ✦ blorbos on my brain @solvmori]

i'm never going to pointlessly complain about struggling to name my characters ever again.
i didn't know pain until i started researching ancient greek names and discovered every single shorter name is SOME god or hero. no exceptions.

just finished sorting all my drafts into folders, perfectly in time for something else i have to be ready for in 5 minutes. the last song i had queued on spotify (my favourite song) is playing. i have never had better timing in my life, and i never will again

[finn ✦ blorbos on my brain @solvmori]

a year ago i called my future self a dickhead, just in case i wasn't aware

[finn ✦ blorbos on my brain @solvmori]

story of my life, damn

[finn ✦ blorbos on my brain @solvmori]

my nerd little ass opened this video and it dawned on me immediately that i recognized this, and that i 100% extensively researched this for writing purposes long ago

16th Century letter fold

my WIP masterdoc has become so big i'd rather use the search function and wait the 2–3 minutes it takes for the page to become repeatedly unresponsive than just glance through my headings...

used to be you could have a gun hung on the wall in the first act but not fire it later in the plot. but you can't anymore. because of trope

[finn ✦ blorbos on my brain @solvmori]

me: [trying to prove that i have normal names in my wip] see, ensley is a normal name. it's scottish. it means "solitary clearing" 😊
my wife, on call with me: i'm gonna TAKE you to a solitary clearing and you aren't going to remember what happens next.

[finn ✦ in vnc theory hell @imavivere]

if u think he sounds a little Strange it's bc a) most of my older characters don't use contractions ("won't", "can't", "i'm") and most of these drafts are from further back when i was still trying to make that not sound Bad and sometimes struggling
he's so easy to write tho

HAPPY FIRST (4XXth) BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVOURITE OC, LUCRETIUS!!!!!!! my old man god of truth who i discovered i have 6 total things of that don't spoil my wip
maeve is ~10 in the 2nd one

[finn ✦ blorbos on my brain @solvmori]

i wouldn't purposely ruin any friendships (anymore) but that's exactly why i quickly defaulted to writing the most gruesome gore & agonizing angst i have ever written in my entire life.
and when i am sleepy i default to alliteration, it seems

[finn ✦ blorbos on my brain @solvmori]

the other day i did not want to feel within my body at all but also wanted to destroy something so i needed to break something metaphorically & i wrote the brutal deaths of an oc's family
all today i've been so stressed like [gritted teeth] "next i destroy his childhood"

[finn ✦ blorbos on my brain @solvmori]

me, choosing something non-physical to ruin: [john mulaney nursery joke voice] could be a friendship........ or a family of five 😏

[finn ✦ blorbos on my brain @solvmori]

really fond of this part of the checklist i made for myself a year back on things i wanted to get done

[finn ✦ blorbos on my brain @solvmori]

oh i can't screenshot it but it was my anniversary of making this account at some point. maybe today but probably not because i haven't checked for a while. nice!

[finn ✦ blorbos on my brain @solvmori]

i'm partially speaking this into existence. it's not worth risking functioning of my arm by working on something that i don't expect or am really working to profit from anyway. i have to remind myself to prioritize and to find better ways to be productive

[finn ✦ blorbos on my brain @solvmori]

i might relent & start (not tonight, just in general) working on writing using speech to text. my style might be different verbally vs in typing, but... my RSI's gotten too bad to bother anymore, i think. time to start adjusting to the situation so i can still make progress
