17. what do you do to motivate yourself to write? 

This is such a hard one, because some days I'd be dead tired and not want to write at all. The biggest motivation for me is looking just at other authors. Seeing them holding their published novel and making it gives me motivation because I want to get there, too. Other ways are either listening to my own curated playlists, reading snippets of my writing, or simply talking to someone about it. Visuals like moodboards also help!

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

me: i miss my wip

wip: then get back to writing

*blankly stares at page*

@mirrorthoughts

that's so interesting !! and self-translating requires such dedication, ahhh <3

literally I wish I can write banter. I think I write a decent amount of it but really want to improve haha

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 !!

name: genres you like to write in: genres you like to read in + fav books/media: favorite line from your current wip:

name: ave

genres you like to write in: currently writing contemporary (ya/romcom/romance, give me them ALL), but I also like to dabble in fantasy!

genres you like to read in + fav books/media: i'll consume literally anything haha. Fantasy, mystery, historical fiction, romance, young adult, you name it. I'm awful with horror, though ;-;

percy jackson (MY CHILDHOOD), harry potter (OBVIOUSLY), Better Than the Movies, From Lukov with Love, The Love Hypothesis, These Violent Delights, the list goes on...

favorite or latest line from your current wip: [latest line, because what a mood- from Destination Seoul] Ha. Per usual, the universe hates me.

"What fate decides" is beyond incredible !! I love how you write so much. Also give me all the angst!!!!

Thank you so much! 💞 It’s funny how it was originally supposed to be a short chapter, but now it’s much longer, since I couldn’t let go of the story just yet haha.

I’m so glad you enjoy it! Angst and fluff and everything coming soon!

3 & 7 for the ask game ❤️ @catharticallysarcastic

@catharticallysarcastic ♡ thanks for the ask :))

3. what’s a wip that you’ve procrastinated on the longest? why?

I would say Destination Seoul. Usually I'm very on and off with my writing, but when I have time to write, the words easily flow out. Except with this WIP, I've been getting serious imposter syndrome, and I can't write without comparing myself constantly to other writers and without stressing myself out. It's a terrible habit and situation that I'm going through that blocks me from liking my writing, and it's why I've been posting little snippets in hope to excite myself again.

7. do you outline before writing? if so, what’s your outlining process like?

NOOOOO PANTSER all the way. I usually have bullet points of what I want to achieve/the tropes or themes, but even if I write an outline, I write something completely different. Hopefully my next WIP will have a good, fully detailed outline, though! (Except I always say this, whoops).

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.
