Stories and Wattpad

I'm at a loss as of right now, and I don't know what to do. So here's another random segment! Whoo!

How do I start off my Wattpad stories? Random moments of inspiration. Seriously. The moment something comes to  mind, I jot it down immediately in a little notebook I keep around. It's really handy. If I have moments in time where I have absolutely nothing to do, I isolate myself and start pouring random ideas I have into the little notebook. The main rule I have when it comes to scrapping up ideas is: Screw Reality. I personally find it better to let go of any idea you have and write it down somewhere to make room for other ideas.

And when I'm out of ideas and stressed out, I bang my head on a wall or something.

Unfortunately, it seems my only talent is starting a story that seems interesting, and not really following through... Mostly because I try to type up something that's on the go at that particular time with very little planning. Other times, I'm just stuck because I don't know what to do next. Sometimes I'm just doing research for a story. For example, my recent thriller short is being put on hold as I try to understand what makes a half baked mystery- which is what I'm aiming for as an amateur.

While I'm working at it..

I'm usually multitasking and switching between devices freely. Switching around tabs, or devices gives quite a bit of freedom (i.e private messaging). Being flexible reduces the amount of time needed to type up a chapter, and it allows some time to be crammed in. Or at least, that's what I've been doing. Just leaving a blob of text and shoving in pictures is usually the fastest way to do it.

(Totally not typing up some chapters under my desk at school.. maybe.)

As for time management.. it's horrible for me. Most of the time I'm up at night because I just got an idea of what to put down for the next chapter of some story, or up in the early morning because I got inspiration right then and there. Sometimes I continue chapters during lunch breaks...

Wow I sound like some workaholic! Ahaha.. no I'm sorry. It's not that hardcore. When I work on something, it's probably like 500 words at a time. I'm too lazy to edit at times, so I carefully consider what to put down and reread my work before continuing with a chapter (checking for grammar is a pain sometimes).

When it comes to just being social on Wattpad... I'm not really "all over the place" or "always quiet." Well, I actually prefer keeping a small circle of friends and having small chats every once in a while.

What do I do with most of my time on Wattpad? Read. Reading was my original purpose for creating a Wattpad account in the first place, and I still have plenty of books to go through... like 37+ of them. All chilling in my library waiting to be clicked upon. Oh well.

I guess that's it for now. See ya in the next one~
