It's been a very rough year so far for me, and I got very lost along the way. I wasn't sure I really knew how to write anymore, I've been frightened to try, but I came back to it recently and put together a short new story to ease myself back in. It should be finished today, hopefully!

I'm very nervous to post it in the next few days, but I am so grateful for everybody who's waited for me 💛 You're all so wonderful and I really hope you enjoy it!

puppylover9 replied to your post:

Never doubt your writing talent, I'm 4/8 of your works and am obsessed with your fics!! I get lost in your words... sigh... xoxo

thank you so so much! i'm so glad you're enjoying them 💛 this reply absolutely made my day!

[cakeandruin]

Ohhh, magical realism? Now that also sounds right up my alley! I'm sorry to hear you've been struggling, especially with self-confidence about your writings, because you write so beautifully, truly. I hope you can find your confidence back, but in any case, know that at least one reader out there is going to be waiting with baited breath for your next story <3.

it's definitely a departure from my usual, but it's been so exciting to write this one because i adore this genre. the story itself is very heavily layered with events that overlap and things that slowly get revealed throughout - the complexity, i think, is what made me doubt myself as to whether or not i could really pull this off, but if i can i think this one is going to end up being a big favorite of mine

thank you so so much for the support and your kindness! it really does change the way i think about my writing when i get such lovely feedback

i hope you have a wonderful week!

[cakeandruin]

Ahhhh, I had just caught up on all your stories after someone here linked to one of your work on the AO3. I'm not great with words, but I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed every single word you wrote. Your world building is absolute *chef's kiss*. Your characterization of Jimin, Jungkook and the rest of BTS is absolutely lovely!

I just read Nepenthe, and while I do not really know kpop outside of BTS, I think Jungkook and Eunwoo is a lovely friendship, so to see a side of this in the story made me so happy. Aaaaaaaah, I truly wish I had better words to explain to you how much I have been completely immersed in your stories. In fact, Nepenthe decided me to do something I've been wanting to do for 20+ years, and I've started to build my very own and very first medicinal garden! I'm all over the place because I'm just too excited to have found such a great author, please forgive the absolute mess, but know that all of it is love XD.

oh wow, i am absolutely crying, thank you so much! what a beautiful message to get this morning!

thank you so much for reading my stories, i absolutely loved writing every one of them and they all hold such a special place for me in my heart. Nepenthe especially was my first big endeavor after 10 years of having given up writing, so knowing that you loved it and it was so enjoyed means the world 💛

i'm so excited for you for your garden, too! that sounds absolutely amazing and i hope it grows productive and strong for you!

i'm currently working on a big and complicated magical realism jikook fic that i'm hoping i can finish in the coming weeks, but i've been struggling the last few days with a lot of self-doubt and your message has helped me immensely to feel good about my writing again. i'm so grateful, thank you for taking the time to leave this ask and once again, thank you for reading!! much love to you
