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

sir that’s my emotional support story that I’ve been working on for five years that still has no conceivable plot

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).

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).

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.
