Writer thread:
Times you had to write something that really hurt to put in a story.
I'm writing a really brutal abuse scene and I feel fucking awful about it. I keep tearing up and needing a minute, and then just keep making it worse. Like, fuck.
ur so deep
I'm having the opposite problem.
I don't know how to make characters anything but catalysts for the story so I wind up not being attached to them and then the story peters out.

You gotta think about why it has to be that character in there, instead of just a prop.
Give 'em a backstory even if you never write it down. Give them hobbies and shit that no one will ever know about. Then give the reader a reason to care if they die.
I had to write a scene where some characters played sports and I wanted to die, if that counts
>>7869534
Then don't write sports.
>>7869539
Yeah, at least I learned something out of the experience, I guess.
If it hurts when you write it, you're on the right path.
Just be careful not to overindulge the sensation; it could cause you detract from what you're trying write.

Fuck, I know. I keep wondering if I'm going too far or not far enough. Feel like I'm going to lose readers.
>>7869581
No one's going to read this shit anyways mate
>>7869591
Uhhh......
I mean, I still don't know WHY, but people are reading it.
>>7869651
Airplane gag?
>>7869663
No. I'm actually saying you can't be serious while quoting a line from that movie.
>>7869669
Not entirely sure which part you're asking is serious
I do know not all those are the same person
Anybody here writing plays? What's your play like
>>7869816
I'm writing a play.
It's called "I'm a giant faggot and I'd suck dick for a Tony"

stop being a fag
>>7869830
How's that faggish?
Because I feel bad for the dude getting raped?
It's like writing a death scene except he's still alive at the end and he's still stuck in this awful shit.
>>7869836
because you're acting like a complete faggot
"oh wow, I wrote some words and now I'm crying"
How is that not being a complete fag?
>>7869856
Do you not cry watching movies or something?
>ME BIG STRONG MAN
>ME NO CRY WHEN DOG DIE IN MOVIE
>TEARS FOR SISSIES
