MAOMIIII gibs u smooch

10) Cltr+f "blinks" on your WIP & copy paste the first sentence/paragraph that comes up.

I'm doing this for & here i am alive because i actually haven't used the word in shine on the sea at all. Also two version: the first actual instance of the word in the fic and uh, a the first unposted version of it showing up.

Deku blinks owlishly at you, no doubt confused by your reaction. (chapter two)

and then

Izuku blinks and then answers. “I honestly really like the ten zaru soba, but Todoroki swears by the regular zaru soba if you’re not feeling tempura.” (chapter sixteen)

as a bonus:

I think that's pretty low for a WIP that's sitting at a total of 56k. LMAO.

12) how does receiving or not receiving feedback/support impact you?

Ahahaha. I won't lie, it does make me a little sad because I'm like 'i shared it please look!' but at the same time, it is what it is, you know? It kind of ties into my 'write what you want because you are your main reader philosophy.' It is a little sad if something I worked on or threw my whole writerussy into doesn't get acknowledge, but, at least I get the satisfaction of writing something I liked?

I kinda go into posting things with the mentality that it won't get a lot of readers or engagement, so anytime someone says something really nice about my work I turn into a little niku puddle.

17) What do you do when writing becomes difficult? (maybe a lack of inspiration or writers block)

I try to go do something else. Try not to worry about it. I got games I can play or stuff to watch.

When I'm actively trying to write something and I'm having a hard time trying to word what I will do is go do something else (wash the dishes or whatever) as I'm trying to write. It sounds really counterintuitive, but I think it can help when the writing isn't the main focus. Because like... it feels like, pretty often, my brain wants to go into writing mode when I'm doing something else. So if I can just sneak in a sentence or two when I'm at work... hehe.

23) Best writing advice for other writers?

Hm, so this is a couple things: 1) write out the sentence even if you think it's absolute shit garbage 2) highlight it or change the font color to come back to it later and can keep writing.

I will say, this is way easier said than done because I know it's so easy to get hung up on making sure one sentence sounds sexy before you move on. But it takes longer to make sure the sentence is sexy!!!

It's not exactly the same as scene jumping but. At least you get something out, you know? And then when you go back to fix it, it maybe feels like less work because you have the rest of the fic done, you just gotta fix the problem spots. And if you have a beta, they know what the font color and stuff means then they can know that that's a point where you are like 'HELP!!!' so they know to focus on that.

On a completely separate note, for you in particular, just let your horny guide you. LMAO. Not just guide you, but let it consume you whole. uwu
