1, 20, 44, and 54 for the writing thing pls 😁
Thank you for sending in an ask <3
1. Favorite place to write.
I have a work desk that has all my stuff arranged on it– books, notebooks, pens, everything and it’s become my “spot”. but i also like going outside, like to a coffee shop nearby, to write. sometimes i just need the white noise of being anonymous in a crowd to get my mind to shut about everything else not about the story.
20. Post a snippet of a WIP you’re working on.
from my merman!Sungjin fic:
“You think he’s cute, don’t you,”
Refusing to incriminate yourself, you shift your attention away from the beachfront and back to the crate of equipment you’ve been hauling down the sand. With no help at all whatsoever from your labmates. But that’s fine. You’re a strong independent individual who can do your own heavy lifting. That’s not really the point. The point is, you’d rather not be distracted. Or annoyed. Not when you’re focused on getting to your destination without untoward incident. Work is work.
“You do,” Jae concludes, voice sluggish and sleepy as usual. Like he’s just woken up from a nap or is in dire need of one. Even his eyes convey the same feeling. When he blinks— which he does about a million times per second— his eyelids look heavy and sluggish. But he’s totally awake. Typical Jae.
44. Best piece of feedback you’ve ever gotten.
Does this count? HAHAHA Okay. Seriously. The best piece of feedback I’ve ever received is from a “rejection” letter I received a couple of years ago. They told me that for a first-time writer, my command and tone of language and nuances of details is astounding and is indicative of my general ability and I should not stop writing. They go on to say I shouldn’t lack courage to have my work read, and even though the fear and insecurity never goes away, I think about these words a lot and they help me through moments of severe self-doubt.
54. Any writing advice you want to share?
Read. And Write. And don’t stop.
Ask me stuff about my writing pls~
