FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 23/08/2026All it took after that was labeling and defining the different steps and techniques I used. That's what the EDDTR system was born from. I never planned to create a special technique, I just wanted to share what worked for me. 021
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 23/08/2026This book started as an idea for a 10-15 page document, then exploded into a (possibly) 100 page workbook. Analyzing my own methods (and learning about a bunch of others on Wikipedia) has made me realize I had unintentionally created a system to keep me productive. 131
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Instead of acting like a rigid framework or plotting formula, EDDTR gives you a repeatable loop you can use whenever you hit a story problem, writer's block, or creative burnout. It allows you to wrangle all the random bullshit in your brain into a finished project. 020
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 23/08/2026EDDTR is a five-part system for taking your messy story ideas and turning it into a usable writer's bible. You EXPLORE possibilities, DEVELOP the strongest ones, DECIDE what you're building around, TEST those decisions, and then RECORD what survives. 110
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I had to pause and take a step back when I was two paragraphs into explaining the difference between Chekhov's Gun and Deus Ex Machina and how it applies to the "limitations/expectations/leverage/consequences" matrix within the EDDTR system. What the fuck am I doing? 020
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I kinda feel like this book is getting out of hand with scope creep as I continue exploring and attempting to adapt previous writing frameworks and organizational systems into my own. It started as a "how to make a writer's bible" and turned into a "how to write a book" bible. 120
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I've been working on it for over twelve hours straight today. I'm finally getting to bed a little after 4am. I probably won't be able to sleep for another hour or two because I'll be researching and rewriting. It's coming along though! 110
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I'm developing a writing framework I've called EDDTR (Explore, Develop, Decide, Test, Record) which helps you capture your messy ideas and turn them into a clean reference. Also it's pronounced 'editor' and I'm so fucking proud of how clever that is. I'd blow myself if I could. 130
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 21/08/2026this is what you're getting into if you wanna read an educational book made by FREAKBAiT 011
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I've made a lot of progress so far and I've got so much more ahead of me. I'll be up working on this until the birds start chirping. 110
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Who'd have thought my experience with InDesign from Journalism and Yearbook classes in high school would come in handy one day? 010
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I know I keep posting pictures of my screen, but it's way easier than taking screenshots and sending them to my phone. 000
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I'm kinda hyped about making this thing. It's gonna be a lot more work than I first anticipated, but it's worth it. I want it to be something useful, but entertaining enough to not feel like school. And I'm making sure there's 50% less spelling errors and typos this time! 280
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 20/08/2026working on the outline of a book about outlining books. how meta. 021
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I'm developing and organizing something that I hope helps people as much as it did me. 030
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 10/08/2026People ask me, "how do you come up with all your ideas?" Easy, I experience post-nut clarity like five times a day. 241
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I didn't believe it when I saw it, I thought it was a glitch or something lolol 000
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I've written over ninety pages in the last week. It's not a manic episode, I promise. 050
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 04/08/2026It was an old hoax video around the girls gone wild era, where people would hunt women in bikinis with paintball guns. I've got it on VHS somewhere. 110
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Have you ever heard of the old video Hunting For Bambi? 100
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Writing in a non-stop flowstate until I realize it's 1am and I hyperfocused so hard I skipped eating dinner. An appetite is easily evaded when writing body horror. 030
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 03/08/2026This is so gross, this might be the grossest thing I've ever written. I love it. 020
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 03/08/2026The book I'm writing has a ton of parasite and worm infestation imagery, and today I made summer rolls with vermicelli noodles. I had to set up a brain firewall to eat my lunch. 150
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 02/08/2026does this get you on the good list or the naughty list? 110
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 02/08/2026At first glance, it may just seem like a grossout extreme body horror story, but it's actually a commentary on self-commodification, parasocial entitlement, bodily autonomy, identity as performance, and the commodification/objectification of the female body in public spaces. 130
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 02/08/2026This book has consumed me in a way I haven't felt in a long time. I never intended for it to get this far, and now I've spent over twenty hours writing in the last three days. My desk is messy with scribbled drafts and outlines, character bios, potential quotes and vocabulary. 130
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Merged a few scenes and expanded a few others. Still nine pages, but now it's seventy scenes and a half dozen interstitial informational slates. 000
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 01/08/2026I've got a nine page document outlining the seventy-two scenes that make up the entirety of my next book. 020
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 01/08/2026I've spent over sixteen hours writing in the last two days. 030

FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I had been sitting on the skeleton of this idea for over a year, so I decided to put some meat on those bones! Now it's a full-ass novella. 140

FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 15/06/2026reference material that nobody but I will see - a lot won't even make it into the book - but it helps give me a better understanding about what I'm creating. now comes the writing... 030
FREAKBAiT @freakbait.bsky.social · 15/06/2026twenty six pages of character profiles, world building, story arcs, motifs, potential quotes, locations, timelines, style guidelines, and mythology. 120
