@simmeringmind's #WIPJoy September 2019 Day 11: A line about something unexpected. . . This line was from Tetsuya's story about the death of Mamoru's fianceé Chie Nagahama several years prior at the hands of a Dark Rose member codenamed Cronus. Kourin couldn't believe at the extent of their enemy's brutality, especially from the time before the attack, before she fully she realized what their enemies are truly capable of. . . #writing #writingchallenge #septemberwritingchallenge #instachallenge #hashtagchallenge #wipjoyseptember #wattpad #writerph #writerslife #writerofinstagram #MoritaSuzuka https://www.instagram.com/p/B2RebxaJ7iF/?igshid=1wgl84uy5q26m

@simmeringmind's #WIPJoy September 2019 Day 6: Comfort creatures (yours and/or main character's) . . Kourin's comfort creatures in "Shrouded Flowersk would always be flute playing, as it was something her older brother Hitoshi had taught her in order to remember him. Aside from that, she always had a penchant on one of Tetsuya's simple dishes whenever she was in a bad mood—stir fry vegetables, in particular. . As for my comfort creatures, coffee would have been first in the list. Then my blanket (always want it to be enveloped around me no matter the weather). Lastly, nuts—my brain food since college. 😁✌️😁✌️ . . #writing #writingchallenge #septemberwritingchallenge #instachallenge #hashtagchallenge #wipjoyseptember #wattpad #writerph #writerslife #writerofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ExIDopBQw/?igshid=1xj18bx94m644

@simmeringmind's #WIPJoy September 2019 Day 5: Habit you'd like to change this month . . To be honest, my writing muse had been in a slump since last month. Most of the time, sleep would get the best of me and I would only end up writing on my journal and nothing else. Though at times, it does clear my mind, I wanted to do more, only to let sleep beat me and never even allow me to write several paragraphs/just a chapter. So this month, I want to do my best not to let it beat me again. Of course, I still need sleep. But I want to write or at least finish a chapter before I go to sleep and not just writing something on my journal. It's been a month long habit that I don't really want to nurture and I want to get rid of it. 😕😕 . . #writing #writingchallenge #septemberwritingchallenge #instachallenge #hashtagchallenge #wipjoyseptember #wattpad #writerph #writerslife #writerofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B2B1j2UJq11/?igshid=4dvfusqwp3ct

@simmeringmind's #WIPJoy September 2019 Day 3: Character with a weakness you can relate to. . . The majority of my characters are strong, both in their combat skills and their mentality. But all of them, at some point of their lives, were able to inadvertently show their weakness/es to some people and in turn, had changed the way they lived their lives. . Though Tetsuya Kisaragi (in which I used #YamadaRyousuke as his #visualinspiration) from the story #ShroudedFlowers was shown to be a jester and would always point out his handsome face, his loyalty to serving the Shinomiya clan princess as one of her shadow guardians was also shown. . But this loyalty and dedication to the point of forgetting himself and his safety actually stemmed from the time that he was still too kindhearted to even become a deadly warrior and an active member of the Yumemiya clan, let alone become a shadow guardian to the youngest leader of the Shrouded Flowers. He once loved someone and dedicated himself to just remain loving that person, until her betrayal shattered his kind heart and turned him into someone cold and somewhat ruthless. . Being kindhearted is okay, but at some point, people tend to abuse it to the extent that we end up losing ourselves because of the hurt we feel from the betrayal. At this point, I could say that this is one weakness that I can relate to—making it harder for me to even trust someone and just isolate myself from other people other than those that I trust. Both Tetsuya and I can smile and joke around, but the hurt of getting betrayed or losing the people we invested our hearts to still lingers. It's still there... until someone will come that can dissipate the lingering hurt completely... . Who knows, right? . . #writing #writingchallenge #septemberwritingchallenge #instachallenge #hashtagchallenge #wipjoyseptember #wattpad #writerph #writerslife #writerofinstagram #EightThornedBlades https://www.instagram.com/p/B1-qjtapi4n/?igshid=1kptk2y5lz37m

#WIPJoy September 2019 Day 2: (Aesthetic day) Share an aesthetic for your life or your WIP—or both! . I've shown an aesthetic of (partly) my life on my first post for this #hashtagchallenge so I'm posting my WIP this time. . Now this aesthetic was from the first scene of my four-year-old WIP titled "Shrouded Flowers", the first book of "Eight Thorned Blades" series. It was right after the funeral. Kourin was in their family temple where she was looking at the pictures of her parents and older brother that death had taken away from her. This scene also indicated the start of a new chapter in her life—the one that she chose to do after the horrific attack that killed many just to uphold their honor to serve the Shinomiya family. . As you can see, and as I've mentioned on my Day 1 post, this is a Japanese-themed story (or at least the majority of it). . . #wipjoyseptember #writingchallenge #instachallenge #shroudedflowers #eightthornedblades #wattpad #writing #writerph #writerslife #writerofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B17nb_bpmwR/?igshid=ua9yqtzhw3sg

Day 1: Introduce yourself and your creative projects! . . This is a day late, but I still want to post this for the first day of @simmeringmind's #WIPJoy for the month of September. . My name's Florence Joyce Dongael and on my inactive writing career since college, I've been known by several pennames. I had two published works and three upcoming releases (though I'm still unsure about the date). I'm not an active writer, to be honest. But each day, I'm trying to continue writing my pending stories so that I could proceed with the next one. . I had taken a liking to the autumn season, even though I haven't experienced it myself. But my name actually had a relation to the spring season—flowers blooming, to be exact. Another thing I've taken a liking of is teddy bears. No reason other than I find them cute and comforting, to be honest. . As for my WIPs, I have a few of them (that is, if you'd consider 8 stories as few). But I'm focusing on 3 right now, one step each at a time. . 1⃣The first on the list is actually a WIP that I've been working on for four years already about a surviving Japanese family princess struggling to live her life after the devastating attack that robbed her of her clan and retainers' honor and also of her family. She made it her duty to end the five-decade-old battle that her clan had been dealing with once and for all. 2⃣A fantasy-romance story with EXO Suho as my inspiration. It was actually a collaboration project with a fellow writer who's an EXO-L. This story is about a love story between an Osmerth Guardian and a Power Caster and how their love would surpass the trials they suffered for 400 years. 3⃣A Super Sentai-inspired story since I couldn't really help trying to write one as I've been watching the shows in the franchise each year. . I guess I made too long of an introduction, huh? 😁✌️😁✌️ . . #writing #writingchallenge #septemberwritingchallenge #instachallenge #hashtagchallenge #wipjoyseptember #wattpad #writerph #writerslife #writerofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B156iJNJ8Wu/?igshid=tytfo5osjnxw
