3 & 7 For The Ask Game @catharticallysarcastic

3 & 7 for the ask game ❤️ @catharticallysarcastic

@catharticallysarcastic ♡ thanks for the ask :))

3. what’s a wip that you’ve procrastinated on the longest? why?

I would say Destination Seoul. Usually I'm very on and off with my writing, but when I have time to write, the words easily flow out. Except with this WIP, I've been getting serious imposter syndrome, and I can't write without comparing myself constantly to other writers and without stressing myself out. It's a terrible habit and situation that I'm going through that blocks me from liking my writing, and it's why I've been posting little snippets in hope to excite myself again.

7. do you outline before writing? if so, what’s your outlining process like?

NOOOOO PANTSER all the way. I usually have bullet points of what I want to achieve/the tropes or themes, but even if I write an outline, I write something completely different. Hopefully my next WIP will have a good, fully detailed outline, though! (Except I always say this, whoops).

*blankly stares at page*

Okay, so, like if you could do a red string of fate “au” for any of your wips which would you want to do most, or first??

Thanks for the ask! xx

I would have to do Live Again - just Sohee and the Gumiho (nine tailed fox) meeting by destiny and just struggling to sever their ties but also get along while combating unstable ghosts would be the best thing ever haha, just adding to the story's complexity!

HEYYY im the anon who said what fate decides is beyond incredible. When I said I love how you write so much, I meant I love your writing a lot. I love your writing style (?) Idk something in the way you write is amazing haha. English is not my first language so sincerest apologies !!

ahhh i'm sorry to misread it !! i'm actually genuinely happy you love my writing style, that makes me so happy! it's something i've been really trying to develop as a writer, and someone telling me that they like it just brings me so much joy ♡

no, you're fine! if i'm being honest, I actually learned Korean first when I was a child, then English dominated because of the education system, obviously. but it's so nice to see someone who is also bilingual (and maybe multilingual?) thanks for stopping by!

14 and 17 for the wip ask game please (:

ahhh hi friend ♡ thank you for the ask!

14 is answered here

17. what do you do to motivate yourself to write? 

This is such a hard one, because some days I'd be dead tired and not want to write at all. The biggest motivation for me is looking just at other authors. Seeing them holding their published novel and making it gives me motivation because I want to get there, too. Other ways are either listening to my own curated playlists, reading snippets of my writing, or simply talking to someone about it. Visuals like moodboards also help!
