Helloooo everyone. (Kinda tipsy I apologise), I have been uploading quite a lot the past few days so I shall be trying to upload as much as I can thats decent quality for the next week. Bbut I cant promise Ill be active for long because my mother is still very ill and is requiring treatment for her cancer so I will be looking after her, on top of doing work for school, etc as I have exams coming up. Fun!.. Not really. 

I am quite enjoying myself with all the writing and drawing. Its been so long. Its nice to escape from reality for a little while to enjoy a bit of fantasy. If anyone has any requests for fanfics, please comment and suggest any thing to me. I will be doing them in the next week or if I have no requests then I will be making stuff anyway aha. 

Thanks for reading! Enjoy your day/night ~Laurenthebumblebee.

Hello everyone, as you can probably tell.. I haven't uploaded much the past year (2016). To be completely honest, I may not upload much of this year either. I have many things going on. For example, I recently I found out that my mother has got breast cancer and its kind of dawned on me and I need time away. As for my excuses the past year.. I've been busy with school, working to get what results I need to make my mom proud. The only good thing to come out of 2017 so far, is Sherlock to be honest aha. Can't wait to see the finale tomorrow! :)

I may upload once or twice every few months but that's not a promise. I do check my account every few days so I'm still active to respond to peoples comments and I do thank you all for commenting on my previous work. I really do miss writing but with my mental health and everything.. I needed a break and I want to ensure to focus on things that wont make me ill. I doubt constantly occupying myself to a fictional world of demon hunting and time travel is really gonna help me with reality. But I appreciate those that are patient. 

Anyways, welcome to 2017.. the year where everyone thought was gonna be great but in fact its basically 2016.5 where nothing changes and only gets freakishly worse.. 

Enjoy your day/night. Thanks for reading. Best wishes~Laurenthebumblebee.

Hello Everyone, I know my uploading has been very slow but I will make it up to all those who read my work and also maybe some art will go up. As it's Christmas, things are busy but I will hopefully finish my current work in order to upload before the holidays end. I wish everyone a happy Christmas if you celebrate to do so and a very great new year. I personally am so looking forward to 2016. Hopefully it will be better than this current year, at the moment it doesn't feel like Christmas but I do love it very much.

I'm hoping to write another Supernatural fanfiction series this year, whether it be soon or in the near future. I have written one or two parts to it already but it has become difficult after all the hard work put into school at the moment for me to concentrate and I do apologise for this inconvenience. 

I have had requests also from people who have read my work and don't worry, I have considered writing them. I have started on a Doctor Who fanfic of Rose's POV of The Christmas Invasion. I'm enjoying writing it but its time consuming as I have to watch the episode and pause it every few seconds to get the exact dialogue and feelings of Rose from my own observation. So please be patient :)

Thank you for reading, more to come. Hope you're having a nice day/night~Laurenthebumblebee.

Hey everyone, sorry my uploads have been muted lately, a lot of stuff is going on and my brain is refusing to work with how I used to plan my uploads regularly. Hopefully I'll pick up and upload some stuff for you guys. I'm sorry if you were expecting better things from me but I simply cannot work like I used to.

I've been on Holiday too which is another reason for my lack of work. I had a great time and it was nice to get away from everything. I didn't go far from home but enough to feel fresh and not have to worry about things close to home.

I may postpone one of my fanfics 'Midnight Sky' due to it not going as I planned and I really don't know how to work with it. But you never know, it may turn out great! Just be patient guys... since I'm finding it quite stressful to be able to concentrate so much time on writing and drawing at the moment.

I hope you understand. Have a fantastic day/night~Laurenthebumblebee.

I decided to write this journal based on how I like to write fanfics since I write them regularly throughout the week even if I don't submit everyday, I usually am writing every day despite taking forever to upload, aha (sorry xD)

So, if you're having trouble finding ideas, I suggest listening to your favourite music that may inspire you for a plot or simply re-watch a few episodes and come back to the writing later (if you haven't sunk into a black hole of fandom-yness on tumblr or something ;) )

I would recommend writing about something you like, with your OTP or something like that (One True Pairing) like Rose and The Doctor from Doctor Who or Harry and Hermione from Harry Potter. (Not that I ship these... or I might) *cough* destiel *cough*

If you have an idea of a plot or are inspired by a song, before writing I would go on the internet and just check for fanfiction ideas that may link into what you're thinking of doing (Go on google or any other search engine you might use and see if any people have requested random fanfiction ideas based on the characters you have picked. I also tend to make sure no one else hasn't wrote anything similar to your idea. If not, great! :D

Once you start writing I would listen to music (again) as that's what I do but I try to lower the volume since if its too loud it can be quite distracting and depending on the song it can be quite irritating. (By distracting.. I mean by bursting out into song and ending up in the abyss of youtube at like 3 o'clock in the morning)

 Remember to take breaks every now and again. Its okay to do that. I usually spend about half an hour to two hours writing a fanfic a day sometimes not finishing it until a few days later as I want my work in good quality for people to read. Some days... I just can't be bothered to write. It's perfectly normal to feel like that... I think.

I usually separate my paragraphs into four lines or so per section. I know some people write in full blocks of writing with no paragraphs but I find that hard to read and quite boring since the more you write in a block of writing, the more you're mind seems to wonder.

Short sentences. To build tension. Long sentences. To make the reader have the effect of tripping over like reading a youngsters story all excited, frantic and fast. Depending on the circumstances of writing within the plot, these can be very effective. I use it quite often. Commas are also very important. they lengthen and make the sentences easier to read with some pauses. Sometimes, I tend to over use commas, I know that. But its a simple flaw that most people put over their head ;)

Quirky language (language devices). To get the reader intrigued such as different uses of vocabulary, punctuation and imagery.

Explore the characters identity. Its important to keep the characters vibe. I do this by re-watching some scenes from youtube of the characters I'm writing about to get a refreshed mind about how they act and speak, ect. It could be the slight mannerisms that some characters have, for example, Dean Winchester has bow legs. His knees are slightly bent outwards.. I think it is. And Sam Winchester often clenches his jaw at times. Not that I noticed.. hehe.

One of the character techniques could be using italic writing or however you'd like to write it, you can give the character thoughts within the story and visualise in the story. The depths of their mind to make the reader understand clearer. Since if you're watching something, unless there's a voice over or narrator, you don't necessarily know what the characters thinking unless they make it clear in expression. You have to make your writing simpler to how it is in your mind.

I know when I started writing a few years ago, my writing was very plain because I visualised in my mind a completely different image to what I had wrote down. You get used to writing and explaining throughout. Depending on your level of writing ad interpretation of the readers view.

Every now and again, make sure you go back and check your work. Every few paragraphs, I tend to go back through my work and edit it so when I have finished and move on, I don't have to check through the whole thing over and over since I write a lot. As you can probably tell >:)

Sometimes, I like to use a picture before my writing on my fanfiction to give the reader a visual statement on how the characters or the scene is set. Everyone likes pictures :)

I sometimes look through my older fanfics that I have already written to get a review on my writing, to see how I can improve it further. Always check the comments and see what people have thought about you're writing. I do that and once I've done writing I make sure enough detail (not too much) is put in so you can really picture the story and also speech is important too. I have learnt from the past to not structure speech in the same way all the time as it gets a bit like a script.

Try to put speech from the characters at beginning, middle and end of sentences, spreading it out in the paragraphs, remember to explain how the characters talk so the reader understands.

That's the basics of how I write any ways. I hope that helped a little, sorry if it didn't. I do try. Hopefully I included everything you need to get you writing. Have fun! :')
