21. Have You Ever Been Burned Out From Writing?

21. have you ever been burned out from writing? 

thank you again for the ask! xx

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Burnout happens. It's not a myth.

I've actually learned that there are different writers other than the plotter/plantsers that we generally know. There's this thing called "binge writing" where basically instead of writing every day consistently, some writers have to get in the zone and almost refuse to leave it until their wip is done. I actually think that I might be a binge writer, because once I get in the zone, it stays for like 2 weeks and my wip is the only thing I can focus on.

Though burnouts do happen! Especially on long writing days where you push yourself or when you don't refuel your creative cycle.

"What fate decides" is beyond incredible !! I love how you write so much. Also give me all the angst!!!!

Thank you so much! 💞 It’s funny how it was originally supposed to be a short chapter, but now it’s much longer, since I couldn’t let go of the story just yet haha.

I’m so glad you enjoy it! Angst and fluff and everything coming soon!

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!

hi there! what kind of fanfics do you like to write (I guess I should ask what fandom? Honestly don't know how to phrase this but curious!).

NOO HORRORRR

seriously, props to you for being able to stomach it. seriously wish I could but I just don't have it in me. and psychological horror? the SHIVERS haha. fantasy and contemporary is a genre I can relate to though! [[though if you like horror, might direct you to @mirrorthoughts and @gwens-fiction]]

Okay, now you're convincing me to read One of Us is Lying. I've seen that on booktok (wow, such a reliable source lmao) and I've been leaning towards it but I've been iffy haha. A WRINKLE IN TIME. I really want to read that, the blurb of the book and the movie sounded so interesting!

LMAO

Yeah, I wonder why chaos can't repair itself. Why do we have to do the work and repair a bombed facility? What's the point of building a building if it can't rebuilt itself?

I love your last line AHHHH

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.

5.  do you listen to music while writing or no? if yes, what’s your favorite kind of music to listen to? 

hi there! thanks for the ask ♡

I usually listen to music while writing, yeah! But there are days when I just can't get in the zone, and I usually find that writing by hand or sitting in silence helps me enter my world a little faster than music.

I usually listen to ballads or something classical, sometimes even scores from other romance movies. Listening to someone singing distracts me most of the time, and I find myself vibing more than I do writing lmao.

But obviously Taylor Swift + Ed Sheeran has the most romantic yet also angsty songs. BTS is also on my list, along with IU and Akmu.

Joey! thanks for the ask xx

answered 26 here

25. is there a wip you’ve re-written? 

I'm currently in the process of rewriting Live Again into a much more fantasy-like story (it was too contemporary for me haha). But there hasn't been a wip that I've rewritten, only a few drafts that I finished. (The editing process is clearly something I'm not used to).
