will post character introductions on the weekends so next batch (jiwon, saint, devan) will be this weekend, then the last batch will be weekend after that. i’ve already finished writing jiwon’s and saint’s and the others will be fairly easy to write too, i just want to space them out a little.
in the meantime, i’m writing bit by bit for chapter 1. this book is surprisingly very different from tro. i mean, obviously it’s different because the genres are different, but it’s stylistically so different too. since it’s framed as a docuseries with bits and pieces of “off camera” moments, there are some scenes that don’t even feature sparky. there are montages, interviews, filmed scenes, all that. i really struggled a lot at first figuring out how to style each specific kind of scene so they’re distinct from each other (not to mention past vs present timeline) but writing it now with the setup i have in mind, it’s a different experience. not bad, though a little challenging. also incredibly satisfying.
i’m also listening a lot to arirang (bts’ album) and pureflow pt. 1 (le sserafim’s album) and the lyrics and everything are really inspiring me despite the agonizing heat right now. into the sun and need your company especially are such good songs for the ideas i have in mind.
just a little update on how i plan to spend this week! <3 hope everyone has a kind week ahead.
