Hello, I think you can tell through the fact that I'm lurking in your notifications that I'm obsessed with Hesitation. I'd really love it if you could elaborate on what was the inspiration for the storyline. What inspired the story? What inspired JW and the MC's personality? What the writing process looks like here? How are you SO good at writing? Seriously, what DO you read to write like that? I need to pick your brain please. I'm a big fan truly x

Hesitation really did start out as a fever dream and it’s definitely the most self-indulgent thing I’ve ever written. For the first part, I really did just have this idea of the reader coming back to her car after a long day and Jungwon being there waiting for her. I write a lot of my shorter stories that way - it’s just a concept and a vibe and then I see where the dialogue takes it.
I pretty much never write myself into characters but a lot of hesitation oc…… yeah that’s me 😭 Mostly just the avoidance and stubbornness and need to always feel like shes in control of the situation and coming out on top. With that in mind, Jungwon’s personality kind of developed as what would be most interesting to read parallel to that.
I also REAAAAALLLLY like subversion in characters. Like when they don’t behave how you expect them to/how the trope says they should. He’s younger but he’s the assertive, direct, bold one. She’s older, but she’s the avoidant one in extreme denial.
Thank you again 🥹🤍 it means a lot to know that you’ve enjoyed the story enough to send such a sweet ask.
