I requested a genprompt table from [community profile] genprompt_bingo for Round 15 as a way to get inspired and hopefully write more in the coming months.

Day 11
In your own space, talk about your creative process(es) — anything from the initial inspiration to how you feel after something’s done. Do you struggle with motivation or is it a smooth process? Do you have any tricks up your sleeve to pull out when a fanwork isn’t cooperating? What is your level of planning to pantsing/winging it? Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


So the answer to this for me originally was process, what process? But after a bit of reflection that answer's a bit dated. Prior to getting an adhd diagnosis and getting medicated that was definitely true. Writing was about inspiration more than anything. I would sit down and bang out however many words I could write in one sitting and then tack on an ending, do minor edits, and post.

Since getting medicated my ability to focus on longer term projects has been muuuuuuch better which means I actually to develop a process. Occasionally I'll outline a general idea and plot before starting to write it out but I prefer to play it fast and lose with my writing.

The length of my works has been slowly creeping up and I no longer write everything in just one sitting which requires a different editing process.

Day 12
In your own space, create your own challenge. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


WIP Amnesty! Take a look at a fanwork that you've haven't finished and examine your reasons for not finishing it. 

I find there's a lot of works that never get finished with no commentary from the author. I'd love to see a work that's been abandoned or unfinished get a few paragraphs on why that is, or for an author to take a look at their oldest WIP, publish a paragraph from it and write about why they haven't worked on/finished it.
