I NEEDED THIS

I NEEDED THIS

i'm telling you this because i'm struggling with it, too.

stop second guessing and doubting yourself. stop getting imposter syndrome while writing. stop comparing.

i know it's hard to stop, and this is a process i always struggle with. but it's awful when you get tunnel vision, seeing all the plot holes and every little grammatical error made. i open my wip's sometimes, and get such bad anxiety that i can't even write, because i'm so scared. it literally doesn't make sense, but it happens.

but learn to love what you write. grow attached to your characters, and write whatever you want. write for yourself first. and no matter what, whether it's one word or sentence that you wrote that day, be proud of yourself.

self validation and self care comes before a completed novel or mesmerizing characters.

be honest: you write for that keyboard asmr sound 😂

HALLO!! So, I recently followed you per that writeblr friends post of yours and I have bad memory so I need to connect your stories you you as fast as possible. So, here’s the plan, a fact for a fact.

In my story, Plains, Ether, Hearth, the main character is named Rowan and he is endlessly curious and confused. He is well known for being able to hear buildings speak and for being raised by the demon creatures out in the wild.

Now, can I hear about your main character? Or any random fact about any of your stories really :)

hi there! thank you so much for the ask xx

ooh yeah! I didn't really talk about my works/characters in the post because I wanted to hear more about everyone else haha. it was a great way for me to stan new characters and literally cry/laugh/fangirl over all your writings! thank you for participating, by the way.

HEAR BUILDINGS SPEAK? I'm actually really curious to see how this works haha.

My character Hyeri struggles with expressing herself, and is mainly always confused, but she has too much pride to say otherwise. She's constantly caught between trying to fit in with her parent's (and her) culture-Korea-and America. To be honest, she feels more American than she does Korean, which she hates, but there's so many aspects that she struggles with, from the language to the mannerisms. She's scared to ask for help, and it's just a mixture of her trying to sort out whether she likes or hates this country while dealing with her family haha.

Most books have main characters that can't really fit in with American values, but I've never really seen it the other way around, and I think most bilingual or people with parents directly from that culture deal with that issue (I know I have).

Sorry this explanation got pretty long! If you have another random fact about your story or character, I'd love to hear it!

what a romance writer loves to hear: so, tell me about your two idiots

YOU WROTE Q BOOK??? TELL ME QBOUT IT PLEASE

YEAH I DID

so there's the first book that I finished and have been procrastinating publishing since January.

It's about Hindu mythology, is kind of like Percy Jackson but also at the same time, not like Percy Jackson.

I'll give you the (currently) official synopsis lmao:

---

I've written many characters facing treacherous challenges, and now the trials of my life have begun.

I'm Anusha, and if you think your life is messy, you couldn't begin to imagine mine.

It started off normally enough – a recurring nightmare; class bullies; a miserably failed kidnapping; a picnic I didn't want to go to; generally just hating my life.

But then I somehow got magically transported to the picnic bus by my class teacher, who alongside an unknown woman tried to kill me and my sister Rochelle. I got rescued by an Oreo-loving stranger everyone but me seemed to know, and got sent to a magic empire to fully fledge into what I apparently am – a semidivine organism, offspring of some celestiality. But before I could even understand what was happening, I got picked, balled up and thrown into a mission no one really cared about.

Apparently, the earth never got over its Hindu mythology.

I only pray history doesn't repeat itself.
