Let's talk about…wait for it….WRITING!!!!!
Literally just tell me anything about your stories, characters, world building, etc…

I am bad at writing planned stories so my stories are usually a jumble of half-thought-out dialogue and messy plot points. It’s great. And my characters hardly ever behave the way i want them too. It’s annoying. xD

My main story is a Dungeons and Dragons campaign that I run with my brothers. Not much has happened so far, but I have big plans for it. My players (brothers) have joined a relic-hunting organization called the Reclaimers of Starminster. Their main goal is to track down powerful Relics and destroy them before their rival organization, the Order of the White Crow, can locate them and use their abilities to summon a greater evil from the Ethereal Plane.

NEATO!!!!

I've been working on a book adaptation of it, or maybe a prequel to it in book format, but I'm far from finishing it.

And thank you

Mine is extremely complex. It's my only project. And it sucks. Literally everyone's an emo or a nerd, 'cept Megan. "Everyone loves Megan."

I always have trouble with stereotypes. Its hard for me to do more than one non-stereotypical character per story because it takes a lot of concentration for some reason.

what I do is that I just throw in random traits and build from that…

Oh that’s a good idea!

I'm working on two right now but my main one is written like an autobiography by this guy who is very morally incorrect. Even though all these characters are stupid and very flawed, I love them they're my babies.

Story of my life xD

That sounds really cool!

I'm writing a book about a nonbinary fyre fairy, a blind gnome, a badass Light princess and a bard made of clay. There's also magical weapons, a thousand year old warrior with golden blood, an evil sorcerer with an army of Darkness, a sassy fortune teller, and more yet to come.

The struggle with writing
Is that my laptop is a graveyard of my buried ideas which I periodically resurrect only to kill them again
I am in awe of anyone who is even capable of giving a synopsis of their story because I have no idea what's happening or why like 100% of the time
