Got some free time tonight. Time to try and do some progress for WFTL so I can end its hiatus.

15. ‘write for yourself’ is so unhelpful because you are most likely a human being who wants normal human stuff like connection and community. go ahead and write for the audience. but the most important audience member is always the giggling gremlin in your soul going OH BOY THIS IS THE GOOD SHIT.

Please, for the love of everything holy, read and follow this jewel of a fic 🙏

MY BABY

I'll try using whatever free time I have during summer holidays to further my studies about creative writing and practice until I regain a bit of confidence. I hope you'll understand 😔

After long deliberation, I've decided to put Waiting For The Light on hold. I'm struggling a lot because I really don't appreciate the way I write anymore, and a few things that happened only managed to cement this feeling.

Goodreads should understand that Catullus didn't write only the infamous "odi et amo" or "da mi basia mille". It's time to blow the dust off my high school days collection of his poetries (for ficwriting purposes)

Phaidei fic outline is born. I am a mother again.

This post is offered by Chapter 6 that doesn't want to be written because I feel like I would make shallow work of the conflict and by the outline of my Phaidei fic that has been completely overwritten 3 times.

This is a phase where I'm stumbling into so many well-written fics that give such depth to the characters that I feel like everything I produce is written by a middle schooler.

Glad to know I wasn't the only one who has only thought about saying profanities due to the disappointing news 😂

And this, guys, was I how I met my writing mentor, fandom-crossed friend and one of most unapologetic enablers of my fic ideas :')

Star-crossed lovers is overrated, fandom-crossed friends is better 😌✌️(so many years and still very glad you didn't change your username)

Ringabel and Edea c:

My exam went well. I'll take a few days of rest and then hopefully I'll finally get started on Waiting For The Light Ch.6

Ofc my brain goes "Hey, you really want to write right now" while I'm 4 days away from an exam I'm binge-studying.

On a side note my 2025 has sucked so far, so can it please give me something to be happy about?

WAR IS OVER

YEARS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR RHIS MOMENT OH MSYNGOD

Obligatory repost because this is poetic cinema and an incredibly worth read 🙏

But naturally I am caught in the curse of "of course you won't get a single decent idea to write to write about that ship that is rotting your brain"

I really want to write about Mydei and Phainon because I have 5 years spent studying ancient Greek language, history and literature that are screaming "let me out". Also. Who am I to resist Achilles/Patroclus-coded doomed yaoi?

I have a rather busy week ahead, so don't expect Ch.6 before a couple of weeks 🥲🥲

(And given what happens next maybe it's good that you have more time to enjoy them being happy)

I know you've likely seen @doppokii.bsky.social 's fantastic companion piece for my AU in the past, but now you can see it and love it all over again because it has ✨context✨

Tfw the brainworms hit and you dish out 4k and counting words of a chapter in less than 12 hours.

More than 3k words written and I'm not even at THE moment of the chapter.
