My weird yet effective writing routine

To me, writing is quite an intuitive process. I basically just follow my gut. Nevertheless, throughout the years, I’ve been able to develop a pretty effective routine, and I’m going to share it with you now!

Writing circuits. I don’t know about you, but I’m super lazy, and I also love to procrastinate. So, instead of writing for three hours straight, I split this time into little circuits and plan them throughout the day. Let’s say I’ll write for an hour in the morning, then an hour and a half in the afternoon and so on. It’s also incredibly beneficial for your health – both mental and physical.

Have a plan.  I’m a discovery writer, and I don’t really outline that much. But as I go about my day – eg. when working out, or running, or cooking, or eating, or sitting and doing nothing because of this procrastination right – I think about what I want to accomplish. And I usually ask myself the following questions. What is the purpose of this scene? Which characters should appear in this scene? Should it be more visual or more internally-focused? What actually happens? How should I describe it? Thanks to this, I have a general plan, and I’m much more motivated to actually write instead of visualizing that scene in my head (we all know this, don’t we?).

Write. Then I write. I write whatever pops into my head. I don’t care if it’s logical. I don’t care how many times I use abruptly, saw, felt, etc. I just allow my imagination to create this story.

Notes. When I end my final little session, I usually leave some comments for myself. What’s going to happen next, what’s the next big thing I want for my characters, etc. Having these notes makes everything easier; I immediately know what I’m supposed to do.

Having fun. I don’t care about the word count, deadlines, or anything like that. I enjoy the process, and I’m always very grateful for everything I write. I actually have this cute/weird habit: Whenever I end my writing session, I say ‘thank you’. Out loud. (Yeah, awkward, huh?) Thank you for my amazing imagination which allows me to create places and people in my mind! This kind of approach always makes me happy and even more motivated for my next writing session.

| Kim Taehyung x reader

• With a sigh, you sat down next to Taehyung on the couch. Your mood had soured as a result of your boss's lengthy lecture. Working from home had been difficult for you to manage. To relax, you began massaging the back of your neck and stretching your legs.

You cast a glance over at Taehyung, who was engrossed in his laptop. His long, slender finger typed away at the materials quickly. He had a spectacle on the bridge of his nose that was protruding. His bangs of fluffy hair were stuck to his brow. Also, the bread cheeks were absolutely adorable. You smiled to yourself as you glanced at him.

You've had a thing for Taehyung since the first time you met. It was the icing on the cake to be his roommate. He was sweet, attentive, and a little possessive at times, but that didn't bother you. In general, he was a fantastic friend. And you were fortunate to have him in your life.

He took a breath when he became aware of your presence beside him. "Are you in a bad mood?" he inquired, without looking at you. You gave a nod as you turned to face him, your lips pursed.

"Yes, in a way. My eardrums are already aching from listening to the boss lecture about the designs." You laughed and continued to massage your neck and shoulder.

Taehyung sighed and turned to face you "You should start looking for alternative businesses right now. You've been there for over a year and they still treat you like a beginner, taking credit for your efforts." Your spine shivered as he spoke sternly and fixed his focus on you.

You took a deep breath and looked down at your lap. "That's something I'm aware of, Tae. However, getting new work is challenging right now. However, I am attempting to locate other businesses. My boss is a true monster." Stretching your legs and resting your head on the couch's back, you relaxed. You got a nod from Taehyung.

"Cheer! Today is the premiere of a new episode of the drama. We'll watch it together once I finish my project," he murmured, wriggling in his seat. You couldn't help but chuckle along with him at his antics.

You walked out of the living room and into the kitchen to grab a bite to eat. You dug into the cabinet and discovered a bag of chips. You set the bag aside, deciding to share it with Taehyung while watching the drama. Instead, you bit into a chocolate bar. You returned to the living room and sat down next to Taehyung.

You locked your gaze on him and were engrossed in his cuteness once more. He was so engrossed in his work that he didn't even notice your attention. You gave a small smile to yourself and walked closer to him. He was unconcerned by their proximity. You automatically lifted your hand and brushed your finger through his fluffy locks, mesmerised by his attractiveness. You pushed his bangs away from his brow. Your thumb touched his cheeks tenderly. When he gazed at you out of nowhere, you were taken aback. You took a step back and dropped your head in embarrassment.

You fumbled and fiddled with your fingers as you said, "Uuuuuhhh I am s-sorry." You gulped the ball of nerves when you didn't hear from him. You lifted your head, on the verge of tears, and stared at him. He smiled sweetly at you and knelt down to your level.

He inquired softly, "Hey, what are you apologising for?" You sniffled and shook your head.

"I apologise for the inconvenience. I shouldn't have done it to you,"

"So? You are not forbidden from doing so."

You sneezed once more and fixed your gaze on him. He laughed and moved his body closer to your ears. In husky tones, he said, "I liked what you did there." When his lips kissed your cheeks, your eyes widened.

"What?" he said, amused by your bemusement.

You turned away from him, blushing. He didn't say anything else and walked away to finish his task. You sat in silence, waiting for Taehyung to start the drama and come over to sit next to you, his arm around your shoulder, pulling you closer to him.

He was quickly interested in the drama that had begun. However, thinking about what he said made your thoughts race. When you thought about the kiss, your cheeks flushed. The corners of your mouth twisted up in a smile.

You, too, were caught up in the drama or at least attempted to be. You began to feel weary as your eyes were heavy in the middle of the drama. You shifted in your seat, noticing Taehyung shifting and toying with his lips as well.

Half-smiled as he stared at you. You gazed at him with your brows wrinkled. He puffed as he scratched the back of his neck. In a whisper, he asked, "Can I tell you something?" You nodded in agreement.

"Y/N, I-I like you. I've had feelings for you for a long time, but I was hesitant to tell you because I was frightened you'd hate me and our friendship would be broken. I can't let you go, and I can't let go of what we have. However, I appreciate your decision "When your lips collided with his soft lips, he was halted in the middle. Your heart was racing, yet you remained motionless. He kissed you again while closing his eyes. While he rubbed your back, you wrapped your hands around his neck and pulled him closer.

To catch your breath, you broke the kiss. He smiled broadly as he rested his forehead on yours. "I love you," you said quietly as you beamed at him. He drew back and enlarged his eyes, blinking a couple times.

He said, "Do you love me?" You gave him a nod and kissed his lips. He jumped from the couch with a rectangle smile on his face. He spun you around in his arms after lifting you up.

"I love you. I love you "He kept repeating himself, and you laughed along with him.

You cried out, "Put me down quickly, my head is spinning!" He sat you down and then yanked you up.

"Thank you so much, Y/N. You made me ecstatic."

"And you made my life," you said as you hugged him and smiled broadly.

Oops

I just love thinking of that I can create for my gay ships a big, happy family.

Their love, bunch of kids, and pets of any kind I can imagine.

I have a lot of them

If you ever were alone in this? Found out good chemistry between two characters or even nothing, knowing there's nothing with them in the internet? No single fic, no single fanart. You're alone in this and you know you can create something to fill this ship. Worse if you got nothing.

Well, I feel that now. Even more after almost two weeks.

I decided to post my works on Ao3. I mean my fanarts. I wasn't sure if I can add them, but I know now. I also added link to my account on pinned post here if someone is interested.

I wish to also add fics, but I don't have beta reader who can polish and english so good to help me and also not changing anything on the purpose.

And no, I'm not making ai shitty arts. I'm using 3D program to create my renders/fanarts.

Writing Tips

Descriptions in Between Dialogue

✧

⤠ how characters interact with the environment

⇝ moving something, picking something up, looking somewhere

⤠ how the environment interacts with the characters

⇝ weather, other character’s actions or movements

⤠ gestures

⇝ facial expressions, body language

⤠ shifts in position

⇝ standing, sitting, leaning, shifting weight, crossing arms/legs

⤠ physical reactions

⇝ body temperature, fidgeting, heart rate, character quirks

⤠ environmental descriptions

⇝ descriptions using the five senses, setting, character’s appearances

⤠ internal dialogue

⇝ emotional reaction to what was said, reflection of past experiences, connections to other characters/settings/actions

➵ I want to reiterate… descriptions using the five senses ; when in doubt, think of the five senses your character is experiencing and pick what best moves the story forward
