#UTWT book

[orchidyoonkook]

Formatting a book is hell. Not all of the nittygritty stuff. No that’s easy. It’s trying to figure out which page goes where.

okay okay. hear me out. we all need to go give @orchidyoonkook EVEN MORE love and support and virtual hugs for all their hard work going into their book which is being sold in physical copies!! its such a large feat with so much work that has to go into it and to my knowledge they are handmade too? (correct me if im wrong! :)) 

so yoon! you’re such a sweet person and i hope you’re proud of yourself because you absolutely deserve to be! UTWT is such heartwarming story and it deserves alllllllllllllllllllll the praise its gotten and more. (your mom seems so sweet too so hi yoons mom! :D)

@adventuresofjenthar: Nose over toes. A technique for increasing ease of standing from the Occupational therapy books & a pretty helpful climbing style for chin scraper steep climbs in ultras. They can teach you things in school, but can never anticipate where you'll apply it. 😆 #RunHappyTeam #uthc #uthc125 #pacificpinerunningco #pprcadventureteam #runcoach #occupationaltherapy #runstrong #runsteepgethigh #lovetherun #ultracoach #ultrarunner #womenrunning #utwt #runwild #ultratrailworldtour #runcrew #climb #runvertical #running #milesnsmiles #Quebec #womenofultrarunning #runfest

To design a cover or to use beautiful Chiyogami paper is the question of the night.

[orchidyoonkook]

Oh well, that's what I get for not crossing my t's and dotting my i's.

UTWT BOOK UPDATE - PAPER

I completely forgot to mention this in the sign up!! For the chiyogami paper, I have to order it by a Monday for it to arrive the following Thursday.

SO. anyone who has ordered today, the order for your paper will be going in!! but the paper wont arrive for me until thursday (AUGUST 3RD), so the wait time will be a little longer due to that.

BUT, the good news is I can get everything up until that point finished, so the wait time isn't me not making anything until I get the paper, it's me doing everything I can up until the paper stage, and THEN adding the final touches.

[orchidyoonkook]

Y’all: book!!???

Me: uhhhh maybe???. Let’s see if I can.

*24 hours later has a copy formatted, designed, printed out, and bound by hand*

Me: yeah I guess.

The paper came in!!

UTWT BOOK UPDATE:

My supplier has added an additional week to my order due to them not having their suppliers inventory up to date. My sincerest apologies for the added wait time.

[orchidyoonkook]

Hi all, for the UTWT book I’m considering a couple bonus content pages! One of which could be a character Q and A!

So, if you’d like, could you send in some questions via asks that you have for the UTWT characters so I can see if I have a page’s worth?

No pressure and only if you have them!! If I don’t have enough I will just answer them as asks so the questions will be answered regardless of which way they’re sent in!

I’m still in my brainstorming era so I appreciate anyone who does!!

[orchidyoonkook]

omg i'm so excited for the books !! and i'm so happy and proud of you (for the books and the job offer and just everything) 🫶🫶 you're doing amazing and i'm really happy to see that you're happy and doing good 💕💕 (please make sure you don't overwork yourself during all of this (and watch out for paper cuts. they're evil....))

-✨

Thank you so much!!! I'm really excited too. I really needed these changes (new job new place), and I'm so grateful to all those who ordered the books for understanding that the situation i was in, that I couldnt make them immediately, and that i needed time. Truly truly from the bottom of my heart, thank you for that

Thank you for being happy for me!!! and I promise not to overwork myself. But the pressure is on! I need to get these beauties done and made so I can get them mailed out. I'm super excited for people to start getting them!

(and paper cuts are evil, I promise to be careful)

I love weeping willows so much, and just

It’s by the pond deep in the woods behind your house, where you watch ducks swim through the long, wispy branches that just reach its shore. Where you sit at the base, waiting for the sun to set the sky ablaze with colour as it falls into the horizon for another good night's sleep.

Three seconds in and I could already feel this is going to destroy my soul and I just want you to know that this sounds like the kind of story I would cherish so much and would love to have as an actual book 😭

ARRIIIIIIIIIIIIII 😭😭😭😭 my love. You spoil me with your kind words. I LOVE willows too. We have one in my hometown that I used to look at every time i passed by. (It’s on semi private property so I couldn’t visit unless it was certain times of the year)

Thank you for being so kind to UTWT, she’s my baby that sprouted from nothing and became so dear to me. I hope it destroyed you in a good way at least!

An-an actual book!??? Oh no! I seem to be drowning in a pool of my own tears. That’s the nicest thing anyones ever said to me!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️. Thank you for that.

I don’t even know, I just, wow. An actual book? I couldn’t even imagine.

[orchidyoonkook]

UTWT order form is done! Well… for the most part. I think I have everything I need aside from a payment page because I have yet to figure that out 😂. I’m waiting to have my rough copy completed but in order to do that I have to have the formats and edits and other stuff done.

I’m thinking PayPal for payments to make life easy. Is that okay with y’all? Let me know if not and I’ll try to figure something out.

[orchidyoonkook]

UTWT bonus content is ~ complete ~ and I’m actually so excited for it.

My brain was kind and let me do some stuff that I’m very proud of.

I am going to seriously withdraw my kisses 💀 AHSJDHFHSHD YOU'RE SO, SO SWEET AND PRECIOUS, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ACTUALLY WENT AHEAD AND STARTED WORKING ON IT 😭❤️ LEMME SAVE UP RN AND I MEAN IT 🥺

No, thank YOU for writing this masterpiece, because yeah, I can't say more, you summed it up perfectly, it's beautiful to find a safe space in another person and

I LOVE YOU SO MUUUUUUCH 😭❤️ ok i lied about my kisses but still 😤 I'M WATCHING YOU, I BETTER NOT CATCH YOU DOING THIS AGAIN, THIS IS ABOUT YOU AND I WON'T HESITATE TO SWING (lovingly, with more kisses, to shut you up)

ARIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII. BRO. HONEY. LOVE. DARLING. 😭😭♥️♥️😭😭♥️♥️♥️😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️

I am going to seriously withdraw my kisses 💀 AHSJDHFHSHD YOU'RE SO, SO SWEET AND PRECIOUS, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ACTUALLY WENT AHEAD AND STARTED WORKING ON IT 😭❤️ LEMME SAVE UP RN AND I MEAN IT 🥺

DONT YOU MF DARE TAKE BACK MY KISSES. THEYRE MINE. 😤😤😤😤

No U! And of course!! I’m very fortunate to have the ability to make things with my hands. Always have. I’m definitely a DIYer but not in a DIY sense. You know what I mean? I’m not like “im gunna DIY this!!” It’s a “I’m gunna make it instead to save some money, therefore making it cheaper for those who want it. And then it’s a bit more special because I had a hand in making every part of it. From the words on the paper to the binding to the covers.”

Does that make sense?

And the fact that you actually want one makes my heart so freaking full and my brain go blank due to computing error. I can never ever say thank you enough for that.

No, thank YOU for writing this masterpiece, because yeah, I can't say more, you summed it up perfectly, it's beautiful to find a safe space in another person and *jimin gif*

M-masterpiece!!?? I, wow that’s incredibly high praise. Damn. I don’t even have the words.

It’s so wonderful to have a safe space that’s a person. Human connection is such an incredible part of being alive.

That Jimin gif makes me sob every time I see it.

I LOVE YOU SO MUUUUUUCH 😭❤️ ok i lied about my kisses but still 😤 I'M WATCHING YOU, I BETTER NOT CATCH YOU DOING THIS AGAIN, THIS IS ABOUT YOU AND I WON'T HESITATE TO SWING (lovingly, with more kisses, to shut you up)

AND IF I SAY I LOVE YOU MORE ARI!!????? THEN WHAT????

Okay good. I get all the kisses.

SWING AWAY. ILL CATCH YOU THE DIP YOU JUST LIKE A DANCE. because what is fighting really except another way to dance?

Thank you. I love you. Your constant love and support mean the world to me and I mean that shit so thoroughly and completely.

I adore you Ari.
