Resolute

If you don't like houses with bricks through their windows, why are you living in a house with a brick through your window? A brick through your window is coming. It's been coming since the house was built. Do you breathe oxygen? Oxygen comes through your window, which was broken by a brick.

Are bricks through the window really bad? Sure, the broken glass gave you nasty cuts when you tried to clean it up. And it'll cost a lot to get the window replaced. But since it's inevitable, you might as well accept it. Why not embrace the bricks through your window?

You can cut yourself off from the world by boarding up all your windows, or you can stop gatekeeping and let people throw bricks through them.

I don't usually do these (and I need to get to bed too) but why not 1 like = 1 writer behind-the-scenes fact! Which may or may not be fun, I can't decide that for you.

12 cnt'd) The rest have been either more generally inspired or sprung out of some other source. Feathers with Benefits, for example, started because there was a dearth of male human with female gryphon compared to the reverse. Not as true anymore, but the need is still there! Or so I think.

11 cnt'd) Not the first human/other sex scenes I've written by a long shot, it's actually most of my content. What can I say? Variety is the spice of life and I enjoy lots of flavor. Human/other has an element of wish fulfillment too. Sure they may be standard, but they're OUR standard.

(I am out of steam at the moment so if there are things people want to know, or for me to follow up on, do tell!)

9) (cnt'd) The working title was "Gender Confusion Mizutsune" and, thanks to the bracket technique above, I was able to write an M/M and M/F version. Though, if I could do it again: I'd keep the first four parts the same, have Genbi change his guess a couple times, and split versions for the fifth.

8) I've had two phases for my writing. 2009-2016 saw me writing a fair bit, including FwB... then, everything changed when depression attacked. I didn't exactly stop but I barely had any progress until four or five years ago. Centaur for Disease Control and Salazzle Dazzle got me back in the groove.

6) If I have the last line of a story in my head, the idea is locked in. Or so I used to think, because I've got one that's sort of missing a middle. And worldbuilding. And a few other things. But OTHERWISE...

3) To that end, I try to just... write as much I can in one 'sitting' so to speak. Keep in that flow state. 4) I can't bullet-point outline. Never got the hang of them. I'll basically write the beats/scenes of the story without any prose or dialogue, sort of a draft 0.5.

I completely forgot I posted this. Which brings me to: 1) I have a Trello board specifically to track (mostly) all of my ideas, WIPs, what's posted where, etc. My executives are dysfunctioning just barely above shitshow *with* that. I will genuinely forget WIPs exist if I don't.
