It's Always The Last Few Lines Of A Story That Elude Me Till Like Five Minutes Before I Plan To Post.

It's always the last few lines of a story that elude me till like five minutes before I plan to post. Why am I like this? JUST HAVE THEM BONE THEIR WAY TO HAPPILY EVER AFTER, CHRISTY.

When you boop, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then it subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your boops are to become so entwined that it is inconceivable you should ever part.

😂 Okay this one is amazing!

Ahhh, thank you, Aly!

I'm gonna be honest with you, The Sweetest Sting has been an exercise in "good enough." Because your girl is pathological when it comes to perfectionism, details, and research. That's why The Sun in My Eyes still isn't done 4 years after I started it. I'm so glad you wrote this post, because I'm currently down the tiktok rabbit hole of a certain subject for my next chapter and it's got me behind schedule. I'm crawling out of it and getting back to the actual writing so I can finish TSS before the end of April.

Also, below is an existential crisis I need to revisit every few days to remind myself to be conscious of my perfectionism. Don't know if it'll be helpful for you, but here ya go!

"Forget about perfect. It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to BE."

nah, cuz I need to put y'all on @sparxaf's fic, The Sweetest Sting

I've only read up to chapter 4 on my binge of it so far, but oh my god, this chapter. I've felt the whole range of human emotion from that chapter ALONE.

The beautiful thing about it was, it reminded me why I love writing myself, and how much I've missed it 😭 to draw out that level of emotion from words alone is a powerful thing, and it's rewarding, to bring out that daydream you'd run over and over in your head, to others 🥺

and I asked myself, why haven't *I* been scribing away yet, even though I have more than my fair share of ideas I wanna get to? 😭 Oh yeah, the meticulous way I've been doing research runs so far, for my MCs 💀

Well, since I was reminded that in this case, the end goal of actually writing again is far more important than the "journey" of thoroughly cataloged research (that I may end up deleting from my photo gallery anyway, as I've done with other runs 💀)

I've decided a few new ways I wanted to approach my research, so I could get to writing again faster;

I could always jot down moments of significance in my notes

If I do want to screencap something, capture the moment one time, and move on. (Before, I would capture each moment a few times before moving onto the next, as I was unreasonably worried about something not being loaded in correctly if I went too soon/late, even though I inherently knew it was just my internal OCD-like symptoms flaring up)

Anyway, I wanted to thank @sparxaf again for singlehandedly destroying my internal OCD on this, by reminding me what's waiting for me on the other side of my research, that I wanna get to soon as possible.

replace one word in your username with boop tell me in the tags what it is

I started reading The Sweetest Sting earlier tonight, and. I know the fic's good when I want to read more right now, even though I specifically told myself that I'd pace myself with 2 chapters a day, leading up to this coming chapter 😭

I'm still replaying that scene where Ozzy cracked on with Grace between the sheets in CHAPTER ONE.. oh my god

Bwhahaha just saw this in my inbox! Ozzy is a ho.

So I wrote a story for the April Fools One Night Only challenge and now we're officially releasing the names of the LI's, so I can post my cover. I really underestimated how difficult it would be to write this man and give him actual orgasms, because I LOATHE Suresh. But here we are. He got two. Then he got fucked over. And the world is as it should be. A03 / Wattpad
