Number 20 For The Wip Ask Game Please!! (Hope No One Asked This Already)

Number 20 for the wip ask game please!! (Hope no one asked this already)

hi there! thanks for the ask xx

20. how do you usually come up with story ideas? 

ooh, this is such a good one. really, thousands of ideas come at me a day. it usually starts with a trope (fake dating), or a general scenario (like girl grieving over her father's death). Most of them usually come while I'm reading, talking to someone, or listening to music!

then I start to think about what subplots I can add to that, or I write a drabble to see if it's just a spur of the moment idea or something I really want to make my wip. I think developing the character definitely helps (basically background info.)

So far, only 2 have made it out haha out of the possible million ideas I have. But yeah! It's a fun process... if only I could finish my wips just as fast haha

5, 14 and 18 for the ask game!!

14. what’s your favorite thing about writing? 

My favorite thing about writing is that it's my work of art. It's not like an essay where I have to follow a rubric or something where there's a set of rules that restrict me from thinking in a certain way. I can basically write my thoughts and whatever I want, enjoy myself, and not have second thoughts. It's a good outlet for me to channel my emotions, and the freedom of it is what I love!

18. do you have people encouraging you to write? 

Friends both online and offline do. It's more of them asking for updates on my WIP which I willingly give, and just their support or enthusiasm is encouraging.

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.

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.

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 !!

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).
