this month there was a lot of info on how to write like [livejournal.com profile] digthewriter's 21 harsh, eye-opening rules or [livejournal.com profile] disapparater's clues to a great story and of course the very helpful tip also from [livejournal.com profile] digthewriter about how much trouble your character is in
today i'm also focusing on characters - because when you are stuck or you feel like the story feels wrong, it might be that you lost the sight of the character you are working with [of course it's not the only reason, there are many reasons (like having no clue on how to go on - fast suggestion would be: think about what your story wants to show and tell, what is the moral) why one is stuck, sorry i only know of this one technique to help you out there]

Read more... )

i hope this technique will become handy to you one way our another!
i would very much like to discuss it - because some of my writer friends find it ridiculous and childish - and yes i learned it at a young age, but really it helped me through so many stories already, that i really find it very handy
best wishes
and go words!

also i did a small edit on my previous entry, because i was linked to more awesome word charts

Starting tomorrow I am going to start back to posting, adding a few new weekly activities.

Because of requests on the Welcome Back to Hogwarts challenge I am bringing in 2 weekly prompt topics.

Mood Mondays - where the challenge is to focus on a mood in your drabble.
Weekly Prompt Wednesday - these are more Harry Potter focused Prompts. Choosing thing from the books and moves.
On Thursday I am going to post Practice Corner and Inspire Me on alternating weeks.

Also the round robin was a much requested challenge to do again. Tomorrow I will post a sign-up to see who will like to work on a group round robin.

Until then

‘Sup [livejournal.com profile] hd_writers.

Do you have a charity auction thing due you’ve been putting off? Are you eyeing a big bang suspiciously? Does your to-do list depress you? Is there a thing you would like to be doing, only you just cannot seem to make it happen?

Meet BOB, the month-long motivational marathon of productivity, running this April here at [livejournal.com profile] hd_writers.

The Deal: Every week for a month, we the BOB mods will post targets. Meet them, exceed them, wait for next week, it is up to you what you make of them, but for every page of text you produce, for every hour you spend working to achieve your goal, you’ll be awarded points. Er. Internet points. For your team. Then at the end of the month, there’ll be a party post of winners and some sort of celebratory master list. And shit will be done. \o/

ETA: Team posts are now up. Find your team's Common Room and get organized. Don't have a team yet? Check out the descriptions below and join the one that suits you best in their Common Room post.

Finally, the round-up for Drabble Day. Thank you to absolutely everyone who wrote, drew, commented and encouraged over the 48hr-long Drabble Day.

Drabble Day was all about encouraging creativity and letting the imaginative juices flow, and it certainly did that. Over the course of the weekend, we had a total of 20 creators create 86 drabble pieces.

The most popular prompt to write for was prompt #1 - "Love Letters", which had 8 pieces. Second was prompr #4, "Two Boys in a Bed", with 6 pieces. But for sheer number of words it was prompt #6 "Gay Pirates", which inspired one piece of 1000+ words, and another of 3000+ words.

The award for most dedicated creator goes to [livejournal.com profile] vanessawolfie, who created something for all 24 prompts.

And the award for most verbose drabbler goes to [livejournal.com profile] curiouslyfic, for her piece "somewhere where the captain won't be mad".

Deep an eye on your inboxes for a little prize.

Elsewhere in the statistics department, for those so inclined, we had:
26 different pairings offered.
The most popular, of course, was Harry and Draco, featured in 36 pieces.
Far behind them were Albus/Scorpius, Harry/Scorpius and Draco/Albus, all with 2 pieces each.
We also had 6 threesome pieces and 7 Gen drabbles.
And to show how much we the "No Rules on Drabble Day" rule is completely accurate, we had 8 pieces that weren't even Harry Potter based, including original fiction and poetry, anime fandom and Gay Pirates fandom!

And now, without further ado, I give you 86 morsels of creativity, for your reading (and viewing) pleasure.

**Authors, if there was no title to your story, I named it with the prompt or something derived from the prompt. If you'd like me to change the title, comment here or PM me. If I've missed something - a wrong journal name or link, or a missing contribution - again, let me know and I'll fix it in a jiffy!

We hope everyone had as much fun as we did, and hope to see you at the next Drabble Day.

Also, don't forget after a weekend of fun and creativity, there's a Word War this weekend, so if you need to get serious there'll be plenty of help.


Sorry that this is way later than I thought it would be, but there were so many fantastic drabbles that it took a bit to get organised.

Drabble Day that turned into a weekend is Officially Closed!


And what a weekend it was! The response has been overwhelming, and we're so glad that so many people found inspiration.

I'll be collating a masterlist of pieces created over the rest of the day, so if there's something you wrote that you haven't linked us to, please let me know it exists!

Thank you to everyone who joined in over the weekend: creators, commenters, prompters, horrible enablers on chatzy pushing us to ever-stranger pairings. You made the entire weekend a lot of fun.

Now all that's left is the masterlist - watch this space!

That's the original 24 hours of Drabble Day over. We hope you've had fun and been inspired. Some amazing writing has been posted, which goes on to inspire others, and we've all had an amazing day.

The challenge is staying open for another 24 hours for those who missed some and want to catch up, who want to write longer pieces, or who are just still filled with creativity waiting to get out.

I'll be posting a masterlist of prompts below, and they'll be a closing post in 24 hours - though keep writing if you're inspired! Then after the challenge ends we'll post a masterlist of drabbles and fics that came from Drabble Day as well.

So I won't keep you waiting any longer... The Prompts!!! )

Enjoy writing, and remember, there's still a party going on at chatzy and srs!chatzy is here for those wanting to get serious.

Bad Habit

This can be the term bad habit, or pick a bad habit for the characters. Smoking? Drinking too much and stumbling home at one in the morning? Leaving his sweaty Quidditch uniform on the bathroom floor? Have fun!

Rules are here, though an additional one - you don't need to stick to the drabble of the hour. Remember, there are no rules! If you want to fill prompt one minutes after I post prompt 24, then that's great!

And Chatzy is here and here for srs!chatzy.

And that's the last one! A masterlist of all prompts will be posted in an hour if you want to go back and fill them and then sometime after that there'll be a masterlist of all the fills as well.

First, a quick announcement. Some people are finding themselves inspired to write longer pieces. To give people a chance to finish, or fill new prompts, the challenge will stay open through Sunday, although no new prompts will be posted after the original 24. After 48hours the challenge will close and I'll count up prompts filled and the like for prizes, but the prompts will remain forever for inspiration and love ♥

There have been some great pieces posted already, so if you find yourself waiting for inspiration or looking for a break from writing, check them out!


Now, on with the prompt (from pressing shuffle on my iPod):

If you can't be with the one you love, honey, love the one you're with.
