How did you come up with your story? Where did you get the inspiration? For me, I had written a different story and the LI had a brother named Jonah and I thought it would be a good idea to later make a story about him. So I got some ideas for plots and got really excited, so I started and wrote 3 chapters, thus abandoning my other story. I was supposed to publish my 2nd story way after the first one, but I was so excited to write my 2nd story. Which now looking back at it… it kind of really sucked😂 even I get bored of it now that I read it. I’m thankful I didn’t publish it. I love this story so much more than the other.

For me, I got inspiration and ideas from other stories(not exactly copying the idea though) just mixing all the ideas in to make one big topic if that makes sense, anything else is just freestyle. I’m able to write without planning I just come up with ideas as I go along

Marvel was my inspiration. :upside_down_face:

I actually don’t like Marvel movies and I wanted to create something better in terms of realism, so then my story was born.

I came up with my story Idea The Selkie and the Sea after a beach trip with my cousins.

My cousin had just learned how I wanted to be a writer, and she asked to be in one of my stories as a mermaid, which my brain changed into a selkie, because mermaids are a bit cliche now.

I ended up not naming the main character after my cousin, but she doesn’t need to know… :joy: :joy: :joy:

I’ve never read a mermaid type story :thinking: I think it would be super difficult for me to write a story about mermaids or selkie , was anything super different for you?

Difficult*

Um, since this is my first story, I wasn’t really confident in my directing ability, so the branching is a bit basic, and I really wanted them, in the water, to become seals, but that was not going to happen with my current skill set. Maybe later I will refine it and add some overlays of seals I can use, but for now, they’re just humans.

I literally come up with so many stories and never upload or finish any of them, but the main stories I’m attempting to work on right now are called Witchy Things (title is a WIP) and the Drakaina. Witchy Things was inspired by a dream I had about a girl with pink hair bossing me and my friends around for no reason, so I woke up and I was like “I should write a story about that.” It wound up turning into a story about twin witches who fight demons with their friends. The Drakaina is a story that takes place in the same universe as Witchy Things and it’s about 4 girls who can turn into dragons. I came up with that while I was researching mythical creatures I could use for Witchy Things.
but I probably won’t finish either of these stories cuz I procastinate so much ;-;

I was inspired by Game of Thrones (not season 8 :woozy_face:) . I just really love the genre, subplots, character development/arcs, setting , etc.
