13. Whats A Wip That Youre Determined To Actually Post Within This Month/the Next Few Months?

13. what’s a wip that you’re determined to actually post within this month/the next few months?

Destination Seoul. Like I need to finish it and then start the rewrite/reoutlining process. Once I feel satisfied enough, I'm also hoping to get alpha readers for it.

Other than that, Live Again needs to be reoutlined drastically to fit the fantasy genre haha. So yeah, the next months are definitely busy!

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).

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.

8. describe your current wip in a sentence. 

sentences are the bane of my existence, but here we go:

In order to escape disastrous blind dates (which often end in arguments or marriage proposals), and fulfill her mother's desire of having a date to her aunt's wedding, Hyeri employs infuriating and charming Kim Taeyoung as her fake boyfriend... by kissing him.

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.

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.
