Okay, so, I’m answering this as part of my initiative to actually answer the hundred-million asks I have in my inbox. And no, your questions made perfect sense! 🙂 This is certainly far past when you would have figured it… Read moreDo you have any advice for knowing what is going to happen in your story but not having any idea what the motivation is? For example, a writer knows they want their king to order all witches be burned at the stake, and that said author knows that the king has some sort of motivation behind it, but the author hasn’t quite figured out what the king’s reason is for hating witches? How does one overcome such a block? Sorry if I was too verbose or unclear 🙂

Start it. It’s still in very beginning stages, but I don’t wanna plagiarize this character (especially since I have so much respect for the creator for making such an interesting character), and I really have no fucking clue how to… Read moreHey, so I’m trying to write a story in which basically, the main character is an author with writer’s block. She just can’t get this one character right. So then one day, that character-who happens to be a demon- visits the author, and they’re real and everything. They make a deal, become friends… and then demon problems.
