I think conflicting motivations would ramp up the tension at the climax if the character is faced with an ultimatum:

- Both decisions would satisfy the respective motivations.
- Both decisions would come with some kind of repercussion.

To be fair, I do love adding ✨ drama ✨ to my stories! Ooh! Maybe if it were a romance and they cure the curse, but the vampire suffers deteriorates over a year or two. They would maintain their appearance but get noticeably weaker.

Oh my goshhh you are EVIL! I love it! Gah, I really want to write something like this now. The utter despair of it would be so emotionally wounding.

That's interesting! I never viewed it as anything but a curse. Something like that being irreversible definitely adds a bittersweet tang to the ordeal. This is why vampires are awesome!

Alright settle a debate for me please.

If a vampire's curse is broken, do they,
a. Revert to the age they were when they were first bitten or,
b. Rapidly age by however many years they've been alive? #WritingCommunity #WritingQ

Alright, how long does it usually take you to do an outline and don't you dare ask me about that bloody piece of string 😩 #WritingCommunity #WritingQ

Lmao that's brilliant! In one of my older WIPs, I actually debated creating a whole backstory on why the elusive character was called [NAME] 🫣
So glad to know I'm not alone 😭

YES! Lmao! I am absolutely disgusted by 'Noble Family 1' in my draft and I'm delighted about the acts of 'Small Goblin' 😅
There may be hope for me yet!!

Yess! My character names need to perfectly match their whole arc and I find it so hard to commit to one straight away!

Lmao! It's nice to know I'm not completely strange in this regard. That's exacty it, if I'm in the flow of things, I don't want to interrupt it by thinking of the perfect character name!

Do you also name every character in your #WIP '____' until you finish outlining or are you normal? #WritingCommunity #Writingq #Writersky

An image board including a silhouette of soldiers marching, hazy mountains with temple tops poking from the forest at sunset, a pitch black sky with grey-toned trees and ground in the foreground, a silhouetted figure stretching out a hand to the camera, someone helping another up a hill eclipsed by the sun, and text; When Gods Bleed | Even gods need our help

After ages of destruction, a god approaches a jaded soldier and her team on the frontlines for help, bringing with him a revelation that could return peace between the gods and humans, but only if they can trust each other to work together and see this new mission through.

A grieving, pansexual teen girl comes back to her haunted home & steals a second chance with the bi boy she’s cursed to kill *if* she kisses him again💀
& is desperate to hold on to her murdered cousin’s traumatized spirit, who’s threatening to end him before the hex can. 👻

17 yo Simone is Haunted & Hexed

But she’s desperate to hold on to the bi boy she’s cursed to be the death of & won’t let go of Cousin Nina’s increasingly malevolent spirit.

Pure reds are expected in the labs and this pure red has a secret biological sex that could save all of humanity from the sun. But can’t a girl just fall in love with her new cannibal friend first?
