What is the craziest character anyone here has come up with for D&D or the book they are working on? #D&D #writing #character

Inspiration for writing is a fickle little thing. If it's not harnessed it won't blossom but if it's too exposed it can wilter away from the attention. #writing

Almost hit my monthly word count for my book. Only 274 words left. That should be doable in 3 days. Right???

Onto my journey of another short story competition! May my muse strike swiftly and ferociously.

Character descriptions are such a balance act. Either I take way too much space to describe someone or the description feels like a haphazard 2D sketch. Striking the sweet spot feels so good though.

1K is a great step towards your goal. Don't downplay your achievements.

What is your favorite type of scene to write? Mine is definitely a dynamic action scene. I love playing with movement relative to other characters and some good old action-reaction.

Have you read the Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin? It should fit right into your wheelhouse.

Planning chapters is always interesting. Usually the chapter just ends up completely different from the outline I prepared. The story just does what it wants.

TheStoryteller'sWorkshop @storyworkshop.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Even days where your story does not grow in word count it can grow in spirit. Always remember that.

When choosing names for characters or locations I turn more and more into an obsessed goblin. Why can't names be easy?

TheStoryteller'sWorkshop @storyworkshop.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

Do you guys have that one thing you always do when writing? Like listening to a specific playlist or lighting that one special scented candle?

TheStoryteller'sWorkshop @storyworkshop.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Train rides and storytelling are very much alike: you never know if you've stuck your fingers into a pile of shit or a cauldron of gold 🤷

It's always a good feeling when you hit your daily writing goal! #writing

Ready to fire up the word forge people? What are some of your favorite self-written metaphors/similes? I've always liked this one and I don't really know why, it just makes me feel something. James looked across his fields, the grain waving limply in the wind like an old friend about to leave.

Forests are so tranquil, behind every branch lurks an Idea ready to be put to paper. #writing

Car rides are weird. Either my mind completely goes blank for the duration or it floods with a surge of new ideas. No in-between.

Okay, onward to write my first words of the new year. Let the games begin.

TheStoryteller'sWorkshop @storyworkshop.bsky.social · 01/01/2025

That is so true and goes for every creative, be it visual, auditory or written art.

Happy New Year's!!! Onto a productive 2025 with untapped creativity and potential 🥂.

Naaaa, you just woke up and I have New Year's in 6 hours. Crazy world.

Who is ready to be creative and send off this year with a bang?

TheStoryteller'sWorkshop @storyworkshop.bsky.social · 31/12/2024

It really bothers me that no other game has even tried to imitate it. It's so good.

TheStoryteller'sWorkshop @storyworkshop.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

I really like thinking about revolutions as a kind of Civil War. It's family hurting family and in the end everyone loses. What hits closer to home than having your farm burned down because the person you had dinner with a week ago suddenly is your enemy. And it might not be their fault or desire.

How do you balance these monsters versus the world they are up against? Purely narratively or what method do you use?

TheStoryteller'sWorkshop @storyworkshop.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

I hate when thinking about the smallest plot hook spirals into a massive new story arc. No, wait, I might actually love it. Anyhow, back to work.

TheStoryteller'sWorkshop @storyworkshop.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

Well, I think that's the wrong definition of "hard" magic systems. I always just thought that "hard" meant they have a set of rules they need to follow. Not that one needed a whole engineering degree to make such a system.

TheStoryteller'sWorkshop @storyworkshop.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

Ah yes, the inevitable urge of creating magic systems has caught you too. Rejoice, you will never escape!

Creating diseases and sicknesses for fictional worlds is fun. No boundaries, and the possibility of the weirdest symptoms and effects.

TheStoryteller'sWorkshop @storyworkshop.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

That would mean you would read a lot of books you don't enjoy. I don't know if I wish that on anyone.

TheStoryteller'sWorkshop @storyworkshop.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

That's a long list. No bad take in sight.

Why is the only thing I disagree with the Boston Celtics? Probably because I am not from the US.

Make the design spicy by making it a monk and hug someone to death by a thousand cuts.
