welcome to writblr ! we're so glad to have you here haha

POETRY >> honestly sad poetry at 3 am hits different 😂 i feel like my reply is already turning weird haha

ooh, what kind of literary fiction do you like reading? for me, writing literary fiction is so hard... I could never, so I already respect you for doing it haha

does the "planning stage" include a detailed outline? 😂 because TEACH ME YOUR WAYS

me, desperate for some writer friends/mutuals

hi everyone!

this is just a post where writers get to know writers, and hopefully through reblogs/comments we can find more people who not only read/write our genre, but just people who have similarities with us.

it's kind of a simple "get to know me" post, and anyone can join <3

feel free to tag your mutuals and reblog !!

name: genres you like to write in: genres you like to read in + fav books/media: favorite line from your current wip:

name: ave

genres you like to write in: currently writing contemporary (ya/romcom/romance, give me them ALL), but I also like to dabble in fantasy!

genres you like to read in + fav books/media: i'll consume literally anything haha. Fantasy, mystery, historical fiction, romance, young adult, you name it. I'm awful with horror, though ;-;

percy jackson (MY CHILDHOOD), harry potter (OBVIOUSLY), Better Than the Movies, From Lukov with Love, The Love Hypothesis, These Violent Delights, the list goes on...

favorite or latest line from your current wip: [latest line, because what a mood- from Destination Seoul] Ha. Per usual, the universe hates me.

6. write 3 sentences of any wip you’d like, post it in the answer. 

thanks for another ask! xx

It crept up on all of us. Pancreatic cancer, I think- no, know, after my mother translated it for me.

The doctors confirmed it for what felt like the millionth time, their voices flat and tired, and me, struggling to understand what they were saying.

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!

Hi hun, 4, 7, and 22 for the WIP asks? xx

hi megan! thanks for the ask xx

4. what’s a wip that’s fairly easy for you to get back into writing? why? 

Currently I have one WIP that I'm drafting and I'm outlining my other, Live Again. I would say that out of the two, Live Again is definitely easier to get back into!

22. when do you know you’re really in a writing frenzy?

You just know. Like I usually write in sprints because I usually need to throw myself in the WIP. But if the timer goes out and I'm still in there, noticing the time and just writing and writing and writing and not wanting to do anything else, then I'm in a writing frenzy. I can't stop, which is the best feeling in the world.

from: wip ask game

Yeah, and it's really frustrating because I was so, SO excited to write it and nothing is coming out.

YES PANTSING! 😂 As long as I have the general gist of the story, why would I need to outline? Yeah. I always have to have something for my story, but I never end up following it haha

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).
