Writing

Hi, this recently completed book is free to download for you to appreciate here

I'm writing a story that has some loose influencer parallels in a more fantasy/scifi setting. It's more or less one character's dynamics reflect this, not the whole story.

I just figured that the dynamics with the people flocking around the character are enthusiastic incompetence. Which sounds like Veep. But with the influencer subculture. Which...correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't that basically what influencers are IRL?

I spent more time than I should have (20 minutes!) watching random influencer rant videos yesterday to get a feel for some of the dynamics, and.....whooooo. Please someone take this idea and run with it.

IG boyfriend living in hell filming their gf in spandex doing stupid stuff over and over. A subplot where two such IG bfs are actually secretly hooking up and are doing this all to write a movie about it. An influencer that does it all herself and puts together videos that always seem a little off because it takes her so long to make a single video. A parent forcing their marginally willing child into videos.

The entire first season could be the entitlement and drama of 4 people trying to go to Coachella.

I don't have the heart and hate in me, nor the time on IG, to give this idea justice.

Tons of ways to go with this - more than I'll ever know. If anyone ever does it - just put Lemmy in the "Special Thanks" section.

It seems that, about half of the time, I'll start writing a story in one narrative form and then part-way through decide it would actually be better told in another perspective (usually switching from first person to third person limited or vice-versa).

I'm wondering how everyone else chooses a narrative perspective in your fiction writing. Do you have a go-to favorite? Do you arbitrarily choose one and stick with it? Or are you like me and play around with point of view until it seems to "fit" the story?

I started writing mostly for catharsis. This week I write for resistance.
Words, grammar and spelling mistakes are 100% human made.
Does anyone feel in a similar way?

Hello to everyone visiting this community!

I just wanted to apologize to everyone, as I didn't want to spam here.

After communicating with several members of the community, I've decided to stop posting for some time, until I make an article that suits this community better.

My last post remains the "No title writing challenge!" , which is a writing prompt for a contest organized by me. And sposored by me. The deadline for submissions is 17.6.2026. and the first prize is 100€ and a featured story in my publication. So check it out if you want to share a personal essay.

I've come to this community in order to get feedback and share my work, as well as to promote my publication and reach more readers and writers. I don't sell anything. I just want to find real people who like to read and write and to build something together.

I wish the best to all! :)

As a pub editor, I will feature one story each friday.

Is there any medium users here?

Or writers who may want to join?

If anybody is interested in writing on medium, I'm here for any first-hand questions.

Fleeting feelings of a canvas so full of color and so full of life being drained away. Its source, the artist who once called that canvas their home. Dried paint brushes dot the easel not used for some time, not because of a lack of an artist who has a desire to create, but rather, a lack of continued connection to the once bright light of creativity. Those colors once carefully planned are now being replaced with the nothingness that the artist needs to exchange in order to continue coloring their own life. A temporary measure, one with a time limit, where once exhausted - leads to a life with a lack of the thing that once brought joy. This crutch on its last legs, waiting for the revival and return of the confidence of an artist inspired with new creativity. To add color back and exchange their dull, blunted, sense of self into a vibrant new creation. To once again build back up a new canvas - saving it to be a crutch for their future downfall. Cyclical in nature, the ebb and flow of creativity and complacency constantly at odds - fighting for absolute control, neither side giving up in its pursuit of dominance. Such is the life of one who inevitably reaches the end of their ability to push the limits of what they once thought was an endless pit of new ideas and combinations. Such is the life of our artist working in that dark pit, breaking new ground in search of new caverns to tap into and aid with a wealth of new colors. New colors they never thought possible to see, new colors that fill up their new sense of self, and finally - new colors that brings back the joy they once felt.

Over a decade ago, I wrote terrible Discworld fan fiction. It starred a gargoyle who wanted to go to the moon - and plenty of masonry puns. I can only apologize for what you're about to witness.
