14 And 17 For The Wip Ask Game Please (:

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!

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.

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 !!

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).

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.
