Hello everyone. I’ve recently self-published my first novel. It follows Vinnie, the nephew of a mafia boss, who dies and gets sent to a surprisingly modernized version of Hell. Here, he joins a new gang and must adjust to his new world. Link below. amazon.com/dp/B0FFZSMRKZ

Writing literature? Playing an instrument? Contemplating your place in the universe? That’s girly sissy shit. Real men smear themselves in their own feces and eat roadkill boiled in garbage water.

@AriesTemporis Yeah I mean this more in reference to narrative/storytelling, maybe should’ve clarified

@JTNWriting i think a lot of people struggle with the difference between an OC (for fun, pure unfiltered creativity) and characters (narrative elements/agents) every character IS an OC to some extent but not every OC is a character, if that makes any sense

I fully support anyone who wants to tell a story/narrative with their OCs. But what all aspiring creatives need to understand is that “OCs” and “characters” aren’t the same, and that writing a narrative is vastly different to writing a character. (🧵) #Writing #WritingCommunity

@illupegasu Don’t we all

@JTNWriting i really want to make stories with my ocs but i'll get part way through the plot outline and devolve into homoeroticism. every time..

Me playing Genshin: “Alright let’s get these archon quests done.” Genshin: “Uh oh! You stupid idiot! You forgot to do the Bumtickler questline three areas ago! Looks like you gotta do that before doing this one! You absolute buffoon! You complete and utter gormless troglodyte!”

If you fail to do this, your story will be worse for it. But this shouldn’t discourage anyone from wanting to dip their toes into storytelling with their OCs. If you want to do it, go for it. But you should be aware of what you’re getting into and how much effort is required.

This applies to any other side characters you want to include as well. What role do they serve? How do they interact with the main character? What do they want and struggle with? You need to be prepared to answer these questions, otherwise they just take up space in your story.

@Urart3 The Potoo is still the champ as far as I’m concerned

Two of the most STUPID looking animals in the world

@Varytick A hungry Six gets very disappointed when she realizes it’s not a literal “Big Apple”

mono and six escape the nowhere and go to new york

many people think ocs and characters are narratively the same and that is the problem with a lot of indie and adjacent spaces. artists just do not treat their ocs with the same care as a tactfully designed character with actual meaning and that's why your oc webcomic will fail
