Sow An Action, Reap A Habit.

Sow an action, reap a habit.

@the-wip-project Day 7

Do you have a writing day? Or a writing hour? When do you get most of your writing done?

I'm a firm believer in schedules and planning; they just fit my personality.

Since all my leisure activities take place at home, they could easily be drowned under other tasks, such as school work for one if I'm not careful. So planning them is my way not to forget that they're as important as the rest and that I should not neglect them. My mental health needs them; I feel nourished from them; they keep my daily life balanced. To me, they're part of healthy habits, just like drinking water, 8h-sleep, or clay masks.

Writing falls into these habits of course, made even more enjoyable with the presence and help from my writing buddy @stankris 🥰 We met two years ago (Kris, can you believe it?) during a BigBang and bonded over our respective stories and more. Once the event was over, we remained in contact and have been organizing writing sessions, twice a week now, making do of our time zones, during which we chat, discuss plots, character development, share ideas, feedback, support... And write of course!

They've become a dear friend and these sessions are moments I've been looking forward to every week since we started. We hardly ever missed any, just postponed a few of them for exceptional reasons. And it's a blast every week!

My wips and I owe them a lot! 💜

Can a merman let himself be lured by the voice of a human? Can he drown?

Jimmy Fallon Tonight Show Week

I was rewatching the amazing videos from BTS week on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last September. I noticed - humor me here, because maybe this is delulu - Jikook paired up in little ways in every video. Check it out:

Goodnight Jikook...

Of course they have their choreography moment, but also they are both wearing matching clothing - jeans and yellow shirts...

Of loss and love

@the-wip-project Day 3:

What’s your character’s motivation? What motivates them to act like they do?

Since my current wip is structured along with two timelines, the plot revolves around two protagonists, namely a 2020-young man, and his lost-and-found grandpa when himself was young, in 1950.

Let's start in chronological order:

Grandpa is young and is about to come of age in a changing world, when his own country is literally birthing itself, in the most violent manner: invaders taking advantage of a vulnerable people, setting them against one another in a ruthless clash. Changing times, changing norms. Almost everything this character knows is questioned: his upbringing, his family dynamics, his feelings, even the relative peace he enjoyed when a child. But he soon learns that the future is out of the question however; only the present counts. Needless to say, it is hard for this character to find his way in the middle of chaos, and to learn who he is, where his place is. As he figures out as he goes how to deal with survival, loss and love, with little guidance, some decisions are going to be drastic, and their consequences dramatic.

His grandson goes through the same process actually (I play a lot on coincidences and parallels) but in the modern world. Changes are not as dramatic, nor violent, but it doesn't mean there aren't any. They're here, undercover still, subdued, internal. And when he discovers a whole part of his origins has been kept hidden from him, the same questioning occurs, and with it the same themes, with the same potential rifts with his family. But rather than risking major upheavals in his life because losing the ones he loves scares him, he tries to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds (looove that phrase) and it works... for some time. But he can't avoid decisions to be taken too at some point; reconciliation is a decision, which parties have to agree on.

*rolls sleeves up to get to work* Right...

I hope you’ll enjoy it! 😘

A third moodboard for my on-going fic on Ao3 “Map of the Soul” as I’m posting its 10th chapter!

I never expected this story to be that epic (and that big!) but I love writing it so much! 💖I’ve become quickly attached to the characters and the places. And we’ll be travelling some more! 🛫
