I have an assignment where I have to write a scene where my character has to make an important decision and you have to show the effects. This seems simple at first, but the story is an apocalyptic one. My characters motto is kill or be killed. Originally I was going to write the scene in which she ended up that cold, but I realized that it wasn’t a decision, it was happenstance. Im not sure if this counts. Any ideas or prompts to get an apocalypse story going? Thanks!

A good place to start is to show the apocalypse beginning–what’s causing it? Is it disease? Robots? Zombies? All of the above? An apocalypse is a massive negative change in the world. So what causes it? Where are the problems… Read moreI have an assignment where I have to write a scene where my character has to make an important decision and you have to show the effects.

For the anon of this post post/127573075279 – For me, it’s always easier to write out the scenes I see clearly (which is what I’m doing now), write the ending, and then go back to the beginning. Sometimes when I’m stuck on the beginning, it’s because I’m missing key information that’s needed and I find that while writing out other parts. Of course, everyone has different techniques that work for them and finding out what they are can be difficult.

raevenlywrites: writeinspiration: Thank you! 🙂 That’s definitely a good technique for people who don’t like working chronologically! I’m the kind of weirdo who has to do it all in order and then revise later with new information and dialogue. XD… Read moreFor the anon of this post post/127573075279 – For me, it’s always easier to write out the scenes I see clearly (which is what I’m doing now), write the ending, and then go back to the beginning.

Hello. Okay, this question mainly concerns romantic fiction. How are you meant to articulate something you can’t express? Like how you feel about someone, particularly when you don’t know whether or not you like someone. How do you put all the fractured chaos of thoughts together to form a coherent opinion? It’s difficult enough to do in real life that writing it in fiction is near impossible so do you have any tips for that? Sorry for such a probably unintelligible question. Have a lovely day!

This is a really interesting question, actually, and I think it’s possible that you are over-complicating the idea for yourself. Because most human beings know what that feeling is like, it can generally be explained pretty colloquially. Your best bet… Read moreHello. Okay, this question mainly concerns romantic fiction.
