First Draft - Blog Posts

So glad I’ve been practicing facial expressions 🙄🤔

Writing Tip #9

Have someone you look up to or respect read your work. It can be nice to have your parents and best friends read it, but face it, they’re prone to bias. You can still show it to them, but if you want feed back turn to someone else. A respected teacher, someone you admire on tumblr, or a friend you know will be brutally honest will all work. Just remember to ask nicely, they’ll be taking time out of their schedules to do this for you.

Give them a hard copy if you can or use Google Docs, it allows them to place comments so you won’t forget. Also, try not to be offended. You won’t be around to defend your work to other readers, so take it to heart. Don’t get snippy to that person, remember that you did ask them to do it.

Don’t get discouraged! There is always room to improve and so challenge yourself. Keep writing and don’t forget to thank your readers for helping you out. Maybe they’ll do it again.

Me, right now.

I've been letting a story idea marinate in my head for a week and there are so many avenues I could take, but I'm also nervous to even start. Mainly because the last few things I've tried to write, I've literally deleted upon reading.

I miss the old me. She used to write daily, thousands of words, and did not give a shit if the first draft sucked. She went back and wrote it again.

I freeze. Like, Deer-In-Headlights-Freeze. Why? Who the fuck knows. But if anyone has any advice other than, "Just write through it, it will be fine!," I'd be eternally grateful.

1st rough sketches/draft and headcanons i have with @shunsinesshine , @mela-vsvs @/monoveera about my yuu Asul Ps. Ill be making/updating her look soon!! (mostly clothes)

Since Asul’s name is almost the same as Azul’s, we thought it’d be really funny to use that to annoy Azul Ashengrotto. Our headcanon is that having nearly identical names causes a lot of confusion, which frustrates Azul Ashengrotto because he never knows whether people are talking about him (Azul) or her (Asul).

Of course, the twins take full advantage of this to mess with Azul Ashengrotto (putting his full name so you don’t get confused, kek). Asul ended up getting close with the twins because she joins in on teasing Azul. I don’t know who my bias (or love interest) is yet since I’m still new, so everything is very much platonic for now.

I absolutely love the idea of a chaotic trio (Asul, Jade, and Floyd) constantly annoying Azul Ashengrotto. Of course, Asul isn’t safe from being bullied by the twins either—especially since she’s short (4’11”). Additional head canon is Asul working at Azuls cafe as an entertainer (singer).

ALSO, ALSO!! Each of our characters arrives by book, so there are five of us in Ramshackle now! (Including Grim.) @shunsinesshine is our dorm warden 💙💙💙, melavsvs is our vice, but when she’s unavailable, Asul steps in as the vice warden. Anyways, thats our brainrot. just pure chaos
