Life of a Novice Writer

For 365 days I will talk about random things I may or may not be able to tell people in real life. As a beginner in writing, I will tell stories about my life, while hoping to improve my writing skills. Can't guarantee it will be everyday due to the author's mentality.

Day 11 "A mini Project & The First of Many"

I've decided to do a mini project that is a book containing 100 mini drabbles!

It's difficult to do it here since the last time I started this book, when I was picking tags and everything, there weren't a lot of choices. There ARE choices. Very limited though. Hopefully they'll update so there's more variety. Or I missed it. Or I just don't get it.

So maybe I have to either pick tags based on the first drabble and explain it in the summary, or pick a genre and all drabbles must fall into that genre. Still undecided on the final pick. But I'm leaning more towards the former. Though the latter is also intriguing.

For now I'll just make some drabbles and see how it goes.

For this one, I want to finish it all first. Leave it there for a few days. Come back to it and see if I want to change anything.

I want to try doing it like this because I don't trust myself to have a consistent updating schedule when I haven't made anything yet.

I could talk about my ideas for the drabbles.

Starting with...

I actually haven't made drabbles.

All I know is that they have to be exactly a hundred words and they have to tell a story, complete with a beginning, a middle, maybe a twist and an ending.

So...

Guess we're doing some research.

I say research 'cause I've already searched.

Now I just gotta search up some more info and we might just get some ideas for our first drabble!

=======

So drabbles are much shorter than I thought. They look much shorter than I thought. And much more confusing. Some of them.

And usually the 100 words limit also includes the title they say.

I mean, I need to confirm if I can do anything aside from the 100 limit and having a beginning, a middle and an end.

=======

Wow. Okay so I was aware fanfiction is...common. I thought so long as you don't make money out of it and change it up a bit it's fine. Which is true.

And if you don't do that, you'll get sued.

At least the chances of you getting sued is high if you do that.

I never really thought about it since I don't really plan to make money out of it. So when I read it I thought 'oh wow. Shit it's real.'

Like how can it be not self? Lol.

So back to the drabbles.

Was considering fanfictions. Like, just make some fanfictions instead. But I wanted it to be here and truly my own. So...

Did a bit more research.

Still confused.

But I've made a conclusion.

Just do whatever and just get started.

Yup.

I don't have to think about it too much.

Right now what we need are drafts for the drabbles.

So first step. Just make a story, title included, and limit it to 100 words.

So first drabble.

Romance. First met. Lovely. Which P.O.V.? How about the girl.....great!

We'll try it out and see how it goes.

Until next chapter!

Bye~
