My Writing Process

Hey all!

I’ve had someone suggest that I explain what my writing process looked like, and I decided to post about it in case anyone is interested!

However, I want to preface this by saying that I have absolutely no authority or official knowledge on the matter. Everything I know is from attending university (not related to creative writing at all), reading books and fanfictions, writing by myself (including during NaNoWriMo), and reading online.

I’m also not saying that my way of working is the way of working. My process could probably be improved in some areas, and there isn’t only one good way to write.

Also, please remember that writing fanfiction should be fun. If you want to improve your writing and think you might find something interesting in there, you’re welcome! But if you have a process that’s completely different and that makes you happy (or you don’t have any process and you couldn’t care less), then that’s completely okay too.

Anyway, I hope you’ll find this interesting! If you have any remarks, tips for improvement or anything, don’t hesitate to share in the comments.

Thank you for this wonderful blog post :)
I found it totally interesting and it's just cool to see behind the scenes of another author and learn something new ♥

I am so happy that we have so many talented people on this platform! Without Lost_Pharaoh and The2minwol I wouldn't have posters for my stories because I don't have a knack for it!

That you should do it regularly is so important! Because of my work, the last time I wrote was 2 weeks ago and I can already see how I need to get back into the swing of things!
I think this tip is really important :)

I have to say that for my current story I also use the plot grid! It works so well!!! Thanks again for showing it to me :)

Until then I used the outlining method of Abbie Emmons which I also find really good :)

OMG Yes! Ideas really come from everywhere :D
I have so many! And I can't wait to bring them all to life :)
And I always have to write them down right away, too, because otherwise I know I'll forget them ^^
