The Picture of a White Swan (on Wattpad): https://www.wattpad.com/1550067925-the-picture-of-a-white-swan

When Park Jimin, an ambitious ballet dancer, receives a mysterious ad in the mail, he first shrugs it off as yet another clinic trying to play on his insecurities. But the stage is always hungry, and Jimin needs to keep dancing. A dark tale of beauty, madness, and the fine line between transformation and annihilation. !TW: ambiguous ending with suggestion of death/suicide!

writers who make playlists before writing anything scare me. how are you setting a mood for something that doesn’t exist yet. are you conjuring it. are you a witch.

[theastrarium]

Speaking of...

K-RnB songs you should know 🎶

As a writer who finds a lot of inspiration in music (and make playlists way before I even write anything), I often create whole worlds and stories from a simple line in a song.

Although I would be the first to tell you that lyrics are secondary to a good ✨️vibe✨️, good lyrics that hit JUST RIGHT are incredibly powerful too! (Controversial, right?)

These songs and artists combine both and often end up on my playlists.

If you're new to K-RnB or already a veteran who wants a new playlist, I built one for you, ready to go!

The commentary is also free, you're welcome (kind of).

Restless - BIBI (the queen herself) SUNSET WITH YOU - Def. (underrated but really solid) When I fall in love - Primary, Meego, SURAN (old school & pillars of the genre) Rain Drop - PENOMECO (an all-rounder producer, composer, writer, singer and rapper. Amazing artist!) Where Do We Go From Here - GSoul (comforting & heartfelt music) Do Me Right - GEMINI (smoooooth) KnoCK - CODE KUNST, Yerin Baek (fantastic producer, vocal diva) Not In The Mood - I'MIN, Daryl Kim (catchy song,I'MIN only makes bops tbh) Baro - Hyuny (perpetually horny and we love him for it. Sexy R&B vibes, need more fans) Sorry - MELOH, Skinny Brown (MELOH & Skinny Brown are both all-rounders who dip into everything and don't miss) Goddam - twlv (twlv is a great bridge between the American and Korean R&B scenes)

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?
