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).

I WILL MAKE A DENT IN MY WIP THIS WEEKEND AND WRITE SOMETHING EVEN IF IT’S ONE WORD I SWEAR I WILL

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.

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.
