I NEEDED THIS

I NEEDED THIS

i'm telling you this because i'm struggling with it, too.

stop second guessing and doubting yourself. stop getting imposter syndrome while writing. stop comparing.

i know it's hard to stop, and this is a process i always struggle with. but it's awful when you get tunnel vision, seeing all the plot holes and every little grammatical error made. i open my wip's sometimes, and get such bad anxiety that i can't even write, because i'm so scared. it literally doesn't make sense, but it happens.

but learn to love what you write. grow attached to your characters, and write whatever you want. write for yourself first. and no matter what, whether it's one word or sentence that you wrote that day, be proud of yourself.

self validation and self care comes before a completed novel or mesmerizing characters.

Rewatching, rereading, or reliving your comfort series and then finishing it is the worst feeling. You start off alright, happy to be back. It feels as if you’re coming home, but by the time you end it, it’s like you’re leaving home. It feels so completely wrong but you cannot change the fact that the story is nearing the end. It creates an ache in your chest, you automatically miss it and wish to go back.

I need a confession like this-

I CANNOT

ahh hello hello <3 🌻 sts

Ah hello friend (:

"In an infinite multiverse of trillions upon trillions of worlds, despite the hundreds I've visited, i just never managed to find anyone as special or unique as you are."

Thank you for the ask!! :DDDD

STOP THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY TBR AND I'M SO SCARED TO CRY

time to get the tissues ready because i'm starting april's book club pick (by me actually) you've reached sam... i'm not ready

😂 I was craving a kimchi soup when I sent in the ask, too.

The fact that I mess with all three makes me so confused when I'm writing. The past and present tense also messed me up SO much. I never thought I'd be stuck choosing which tense but I found myself switching throughout the first draft, and ahhh it's driving me insane haha.

LMAOOO we love family roasts, poor Sephris HAHAHHA

OH MY GOSHH that would be the ultimate comfort scene, I'd melt. If you ever write it, feel free to mention me (if you want to put it up as a snippet, of course).

Thank you for answering xx

immediately: KIMCHI SOUP

but also Beer Cheese Soup & Chicken Noodle Soup <33

lmao why did this make me laugh so hard 😂

Kimchi Soup: Do you write best in first, second, or third POV?

I think I'm probably equal when it comes to first and third (I don't mess around with second!), but since I feel it gives me the most latitude, I prefer third the most!

Beer Cheese Soup: A scene from your wip that made you laugh.

When sweet, sweet Merity meets Laesia for the first time when coming over for dinner and immediately starts dunking on her future brother-in-law:

“Sephris told you my family runs the bakery in town, didn't he?” Merity asked Laesia. “Whenever we have leftovers from the week, I’ll save some for him. Poor boy can’t bake for his life; he would have to spend a fortune on all his bread if not for me.”

“Boy?” Sephris repeated. “Look who’s talking! A whole two years younger than me, you are!”

“Not as if anyone would be able to tell from how you act,” Merity replied back. “Really, don't think I've forgotten the day Fendley gave you that walloping by the lake and you came to me crying to bandage you up.”

“All right, let’s not get hasty,” Sephris cut in. “And that was near fifteen years ago, I’ll remind you. No need to go rehashing family history in front of a former princess, thank you very much.”

Chicken Noodle Soup: Your favorite hurt/comfort scene

Okay I haven't written it yet, but I'm thinking it might end up being when Sephris ends up catching the yearly fever and Laesia has to nurse him back to health 🤭
