I think my favorite version of it is where it's clearly magic driven (oh you need a hydraulic crystal thingy in the zapadoodle) but like, the logic is sound so your brain just kinda works out how it works. Because while it's absolutely fictional technology (AKA star wars or similar) it's based...
Technology + Magic covers a wide range of different levels of technology. Plenty of different styles from steam punk all the way to star wars nonsense.
I've seen various angles of it and all of them are quite fun to tangle with.
To be honest I'm still very early in trying out this process, so I'm uncertain of how positive these results are.
I need to test this process further(maybe get 1 - 2 chapters of each project) before I fully decide if it's the right move (at least with 4 different projects rolling at once)
I'm...
Call me a pantser if you want, but I go 'as far as the world building needs to go to move the story forward' sometimes more, sometimes less.
For original stuff, that means a lot more work for me, but I can always save extra stuff for 'lore' books and side stories later.
For fanfiction, well...
This new discipline is encouraging me to finish chapters before I 'switch' to a different project, so at the very least I'm getting stuff done, however slowly.
Yep, I'm gonna keep at this process until all four projects are done completely, then have a think on it, what worked and what didn't...
Trust me if it was a more serious story I wouldn't be going for this angle, but since at it's heart it's a comedy I figured it'd fit.
The L33T clan are about the most comedic thing in the story though, they're all nerds and geeks from different clans lol They've figured out how to 'desync' the...
So my high fantasy world has a few things that make it revolve around 'data'
The key thing being the Sea of Data which is more like an ethereal plain, comprised of all data past and present (including cat videos on the internet) thing is unless you're a god or demigod, you aren't really aware...
So far it seems to be working, we'll see how well it works when I get 'deeper' into all four projects. (Well, further than chapter 3 when all four stories have completed chapter 3) At the moment it seems to be keeping me focused on finishing a chapter at least.
As of now, no finished stories...
My old discipline was allowing myself to get 'distracted' by new shiny ideas every time I had one. This (often) lead to that spark of interest petering out partway through. Never mind finishing anything I was working on.
My new Discipline is limiting myself to four stories, period and chipping...
I'm not planning on making a living (Tho I might publish my two original fictions, can't publish the fanfictions because you know, copyright) on it yet. I'm taking it at my own pace.
I was in a writing slump for a long time (no interest in writing at all for a good bit) until recently where I...
When I'm working on multiple, I actually CAN focus down and work on them, one at a time, one chapter at a time, to make some progress.
I'm the same way with games, I'm usually playing 2-3 at a time, though usually no more than that. Usually longer ones (or one long one and two short ish ones)...
No I'm not talking about what goes into the actual stories (not that form of writing style)
I mean how I'm handling keeping myself from feeling burnt out on any one story at a time.
Currently I have four stories 'cooking' right now, used to be 5 but I put one of those on the back burner.
Thing...
Tried that in the past, leads to 'burn out' on the one project in most cases. (often not even 3 chapters in) Having limited flexibility gives me options on what to work on keeps me from being 'fully' distracted from too many ideas at one time. I'm making sure I make 'progress' on all four by...
I finally decided to stop writing 'new' ideas as they come to me and decided to finish the ones I'm working on first.
That still means I'm working on four big-ish projects, but that means I have a goal, and I have two projects on the backburner.
Gonna play a tiny bit of Metroid Prime 4 tonight when it releases (Should be midnight release for digital, if not I'll just go to bed)
Been Playing Pokemon Legends ZA and Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment.
