Our Beloved Summer

MON. MAY 9 1:04:31 AM.

I've been motivated to write, but I've written more drabbles and snippets for random thoughts in my mind more than I worked on this WIP, which I haven't touched in 2 weeks due to stress & life stuff.

Part of me doesn't get why this WIP weighs so heavily on me. Like why can't I work on this idea that I was so excited for? I want to get into this story, but why am I scared? I think it's because I don't want to see the flaws in my writing, but I should, and I should be excited to see them, too. It's part of the writing process-part of my growth.

So I forced myself to write in this WIP for 5 minutes, after writing a bunch of drabbles for hours. In the ten minutes, I got 75 words. It's not a lot. I wish I spent more time on this WIP, so I'm going to try and work on it every day until I finish. If anything, I just want to write it, let my thoughts that have been stirring in my mind out. Because I've been thinking about this WIP for forever, and I really want to finish it.

Here's to hoping I'll find my zone again, at least :)

destination seoul updates / snippets

feel free to interact with this post through discussions + reblogs + likes, and thanks for stopping by <3 oop almost forgot inspiration taken from the genius @talesofsorrowandofruin !!

yes, I swear I'll make a proper, detailed wip intro soon! this is more for my immediate gratification and seeing myself spiraling lmao, reactions to look back on.

wip general notes (to be updated):

A fake dating ya romance set in Seoul, Korea where a teen tries to escape the blind dates her chaotic family sets her up on for her aunt's wedding.

One of the few members in her family unable to connect with Korean culture-starting from grasping the language to understanding the mannerisms-the only reason Hyeri Kang comes every summer is to visit her beloved grandfather... who has cancer. This year, though, is more chaotic than ever. Caught up in blind date shenanigans to her aunt's wedding, she employs Taeyoung Kim, who is as infuriating as he is straightforward, as her fake boyfriend to escape awful men who propose to her on the spot. Surely it wouldn't be hard to not fall in love with someone who's connected to a culture she's been resistant towards...

I WANT TO GET BACK TO THIS DRAFT BUT I GOT ACADEMICS

brain's so blank I don't even know what to think

It’s complicated.

You’d think I’d be more excited, coming to Korea over summer break. But this is a mandatory family meeting in the guise of a meeting. Trying not to topple over while dragging the luggage bag from the taxi’s trunk, I glance up at the 11-story apartment. It’s quiet. No hands sticking out through the nets, no voice shrieking our names.

I don’t know whether to be worried or relieved. 

YEESS, there's just a time and place for angst but once you have free reign over it... God, writing angst is the best

Nya sounds like a cool name! But either way, Q WHAT. SHE'S SO BADASS, I'D LOVE TO READ ABOUT HER. literally i'd be trembling if I was under the same circumstances-

and no problem! sorry for the late reply :)
