The laziest thing you do as an author?

[SacralSage]

I'll read other stories for 'Inspiration' instead of writing whatever previous ideas were 'inspired' by stories I read for inspiration.

It's part of why nothing's posted yet.

A character has red hair. Her name is Merah.

And it still sound sexy when said with english accent

Procrastinate taking notes and just hope I can remember my inspirations on the top of my head-nyah.

We dont need notes, we're genius! We alway remember everything that inspired us, like when i'm thinking to write about a land dragon, wait... or is it a water dragon...

I skip editing.

A few hours of writing, means a few hours of editing, and that's only if I'm correcting spelling or grammar mistakes.
Most times reading what I wrote turns into, i don't like the way i phrased that, or this could use more detail, or this is all wrong- I'll just redo this paragraph, which then turns into, but now this doesn't make sense, what did I write before? reference check! and etc etc etc of bull that my frazzled brain can't handle with each and every post. That's why you pay your editors the big moneys.. Editing sucks. Unless it's your passion, then you suck. jk. you're a godsend. but I don't want to do it, and I don't have money. So, no editing for me.

What is editing?

Said I do research on bodily techniques.

Spent time in porn instead.

On second thought, I shall now use common words in malay/ indo as throwaway names

 

[Golden_Hyde]

the laziest thing to do as an author is to not write and instead playing games where I should've finished one arc of one of my projects

[Bimbanana]

I think i found a new lazy thing to do.
Procrastinate by making a trashy thread in the forum

 

[LeilaniOtter]

Laziest?

I would say that I don't always research anything when it comes to getting something 100% accurate. I don't care too much about historical accuracy at times - and I'm a history major. *^^* ? ?

 

[MajorKerina]

That's so much as a writer but compared to writing with DND I name characters

Elara
Telara
Belara

So I get a bit lazy with my own characters and a D&D campaign compared to writing normally

 

[Bimbanana]

Named the hidden fallen angel Lucifer character in my story as Lucy.

Oh, mine named Luke.
We should bring them to the park together sometimes

When I was younger and wrote on my phone, all of my characters had three letter names so I could type faster.

 

[DireBadger]

I let Grammarly do my editing.

 

[Anonjohn20]

I let Grammarly do my editing.

I tried Grammarly; it made so many mistakes that I went to try QuillBot instead. I have been dissatisfied with both.

Well thats not too far off

Building World Peace with My Bloodthirsty Demon Army

 

[Bimbanana]

Sometimes when i opened my drafts, i was surprised why it was several scenes short?
Apparently i was only busy writing those particular scenes on my mind

Tell me im not the only one


Building World Peace with My Bloodthirsty Demon Army

 

[Rhaps]

All of the horrors from the stars and beyond comprehension are named I translated from Arabic, sometimes Hebrew.

Is it racist? Potentially, all of those words look very foreign to me. Do I care? No, as someone who participate in competitive racism (being SEAsian), I don't particularly care

 

[DireBadger]

The laziest thing I do? Not tell other authors what they are doing wrong to avoid feuds.

 

[Bimbanana]

B-b-but sir, if other authors follows what you're telling them, t-t-their novel will also get mediocre views like yours


but jokes aside, i'm really happy that i got my first troll this soon
