[I Am What I Am]

My chapters have been around 1200 lately

I might be able to wrap up my current chapter early so it'll clock out at like 2,200 words.

I remember I once wrote a fanfic chapter that was literally a paragraph. Thank God I never posted it anywhere.

I don't write long things XD I wrote a one-shot that was under 3000 words, but a bunch of people said it made them cry, so I guess it did it's job. Length doesn't really matter to me.

I'm not super strict about length. Like I don't think "OMG! Each chapter MUST be 2,000 words" or anything but I like to have my chapters be at least two pages long.

The hardest part is when you know the big events you want to go in the story but can't figure out how the characters should go about actually getting to that point.

It once took me three weeks to write 458 words. All the staring at the page and not thinking of a single word to write is just lf;lkdsa;lfkddsa;fkds

I have this one pairing that I lovelovelove, but I can't write anything for them. I've been trying for weeks and gotten to ~200 words and then been like 'WHAT IS THIS?' and killed it all.

Oh God, the shippy moments are the hardest to write. The entire time you're thinking "Would they really say this? Is it too Narmful? OH MY GOD IT IS. THIS SUCKS. DELETEDELETEDELETE" Or at least, that's what I think. xD

It's easier with TV characters XD The one that I just CANNOT write is RPS and I'm like "...Do they really act like this?". I only know what they're like from Twitter XD

RPS?

I write original fiction, and I would think the shippy moments would be easy to do since I set their personalities but no.

My original fiction is always AWFUL. It's too long-winded XD

Mine was always too short. xD It jumped from place to place without much flow.

"Because I knew you, I have been changed..."
