Confession: I wish I were good at writing fiction. It's just a thing I wish I could do. I'd love to throw myself into the Havens shorts I posted last week. I have some ideas.
But I find myself having ideas about interesting moments or concepts, not actual _stories_ or _characters_. It's easy enough to come up with ideas for some things that characters might do, but not who they are.
@tcql Write them out as "once upon a time" stories. Then fill out the wire frame. You can do it.
@tcql No one was just good at fiction from jump. Like everything else, you have to be shit at it for a long time until you finally aren't, anymore.
@SuzanEraslan yea. I guess at this point I really shouldn't be surprised that nothing ✨ just happens magically ✨ - you gotta work for everything
@SuzanEraslan 💖 you're too kind
@tcql You obviously have an innate talent for storytelling and an excellent imagination. The writing part is the work, not the talent.
