hey guys, i literally just made an account today because of a high school screenwriting class i’m in.
i’ve been writing/creating characters/worldbuilding for at least 5 years now for various short stories and roleplays and so writinf am original story/script is nothing new to me. but our final in the class is eventually supposed to be a 3-act game narrative. i’m unsure of the specifics, but that sounds like quite the task. we’re beginning to create general outlines/plot points soon and i’m completely stuck on what to do. the closest thing to a story longer than the length of a chapter that i’ve written is a collaboration roleplay-type thing that my best friend and i have slowly built a world/set of characters for that we’ve been building onto for 3+ years, but even then they do most of the worldbuilding/plot outlines for it. even though it is just a high school class that i’m sure many people took just as a blow off class, but writing is a big deal to me and i don’t wanna just mush together a bunch of shitty ideas.
this has been a lot of rambling but basically i was wondering what resources you guys use for worldbuilding + inspiration + writing concepts/prompts because i’ve been having a writer’s block that has lasted me many months. i know if i don’t find something engaging for me it’ll turn into something that’s just stress inducing and dreadful for me to do, so i’m really trying to piece together something pretty quickly
Writing for School
I use a mixture of Www.chaoticshiny.com, www.seventhsanctum.com, and www.springhole.net since they all have a wonderful amount of resources. Chaotic shiny, in particular, has a writing exercise generator, which gives you either a time limit or word count, along with an assortment of things to actually write about.
tysm!! these seem hella useful god bless
