Hi I adored the angst in the recent chapter of “Take Me To Your River” the way your wrote the dynamic of Nanako and Megumi vs Megumi and Tsumiki was chefs kiss. Wanted to ask does Nanako care or at least liked Yuuji and hated the way Megumi broke up with him or is at least bitter he didn’t tell her and she had to find from and outside source? Also I LOVED that Yuuji was mad a Megumi for telling him he missed him even though from his perspective he was a side piece and they he told him to stop texting him like wow didn’t expect that like it broke my heart for the angst but it was awesome to see Yuuji make boundaries. Was completely surprised that Satoru got sealed in a random mission considering it was a big event in shibuya so I’m excited to see how it plays out but I gotta ask how’s Suguru taking it cus he seemed to be hiding a lot? Thank you for writing this work and I can’t wait for the next chapter 💞🎀

I'd imagine Nanako hears everything from Mimiko who heard about it this time from Tsumiki. Nanako is definitely bitter about being left out of the loop, but I don't think she cares much about Yuji. They only briefly met once and she doesn't exactly know him. I guess she would care about him for the fact that he makes Megumi happy because Nanako loves Megumi at the end of the day like any sibling.

Yeah Megumi is down bad and it makes him dumb as hell which is lowkey the basis of the entire fic 😭😭😭

Oh, trust me, we'll see just how well Suguru is taking Satoru's vacation next chapter 💀 He for sure for sure is a character who keeps all his emotions hidden inside, though. It's because he's one of the strongest! Everyone else is far too weak and breakable to possibly understand besides Satoru, right? 😅 Lol

Thank you for the kind words!! I'm glad you're enjoying the angst lol even though the fic lowkey catfished as a fluff fic in the first half haha. See you next week!

HI… i rly rly like ur jjk fic take me to your river… it fills me with so much joy u write so well and i anticipate new chapter uploads all week thank u for writing. 🥹🥹🥹

i was wondering… how do u plan out ur fics… cuz i wanna get into writing more but ive never rly been able to get past 2,000 words or one chapter. do u have any tips…

lovelovelove ur work ok thank u

Thank you!!! Aww you're so sweet, I'm glad you're enjoying (: I'm having a lot of fun writing it, although I'm on like chapter 20 now and it is not fun and whimsy anymore and I did in fact make myself cry while writing another chapter lol -,_-,

Anyway, to be completely honest, I have about 12 drafts of other jjk fics that never made it past 2k either. Unfortunately there's not an art to keeping motivation for a fic, however if you're just looking to make your word count higher, I have two pieces of advice that do not always apply but have helped me in the past!

1. For dialogue, pretend that your characters cannot, under any circumstances, directly say what they want to say. For example, if a character just wants to say, "I love you but I can't tell you that because I'm afraid of becoming dependent on you and being unable to handle it when you inevitably leave me," you can't let them. You have to force them to talk around it, for whatever reason. Sometimes I use this when the dialogue I'm writing feels uninteresting or flat.

2. For description, remember all five of the senses!! This is such a big one. They can help set the tone really well and pull your reader into your scenes. My favorites to include are smell and texture. Although I am definitely guilty of doing way too much description haha so idk how much you can trust me there.

As for planning—unless it's something like a map for reference's sake or something heavy political, I honestly try to avoid planning. It really kills my motivation when my only motivation is the burning need to put something down onto paper. Not planning forces me to write the scenes I'm less interested in so that I can get to the ones I'm excited for.

But obviously planning does work for some people, and I have written bullet points for things I want to happen in certain chapters for my previous fics.

Anyway haha hope this helps somehow! Idk lol
