I’ve been MIA from writeblr cause I’ve been too busy doing ✨ this ✨
My mind is so far from writing right now but I’m not too upset about it. It’s been fun falling in love with ACNH again. This game is my peace 😌

No, we do not fix the problem.
We give the problem to a character.
Like real men.

I miss being in love with words and beautiful prose. I miss typing out stories so enchanting they twist from ink to life, painting entire worlds with each stroke of the pen. I miss the thrill of the written word, the shiver of excitement that accompanied a newfound plot point.
But I fear that adoration has been eclipsed by a thirst for adulation—an ache for worldly acclaim that devours me whole, leaving behind the rotten carcass of a linguistic soul. A soul long buried and burned, laid to rest in the forgotten purgatory of withered pages and blotted ink.
For what good are words if they are never read? What good are stories if they are never told? What good is an author if they are never known?

I don’t write my characters, my characters write themselves and I just pick up the broken pieces left by their ill advised hijinks and repressed traumas and try to cobble them together into a coherent narrative

You know what, at the end of the day, the biggest struggle for a writer is that the beautiful story ideas we have can't be told as well or as fast as they appear in our heads😒
I want to share the story ideas, and fast but....that involves actual planning, organizing, typing, that nightmarish editing and worst of all....keeping the plot and characters consistent😐😣😩
But I'm still in love with the mess😅 it's complicated ☺️

JJK Band AU update
So I have decided who is who:
Gojo - lead singer
Geto- Back up vocals and lead guitarist
Choso- Drummer
Nanami- Bassist
So the story goes that Shoko was apart of the band but decided to retire for something little more quiet. She still is in contact with her friends but now they need a female vocalist as well as back up guitarist. That’s where the reader comes in!
So this story will have five six diverging paths
1.) Gojo
2.) Geto
3.) Choso
4.) Nanami
5.) Poly (reader is shared Between everyone)
Each route will have a different amount of chapters but the main beats will stay the same. I will have beta readers for this because this is the first time I’ve done something like this but I wanna try damn it! Also if there are any other authors who want to collab with me on this let me know.
So now there’s the name… I really need something other than the “Sorcerers” because that shits lame and kinda of expected.
So for names I got :
#jjk#jjk manga#jujutsu kaisen#gojo satoru#story writing#writer mood#geto suguru#jjk au#jjk nanami#jjk choso#nanami kento#choso kamo#collaboration#otome story

A key moment in every writer's life is looking back at all the ordeals you've put your characters through and realising that you are, in fact, the drama.

Basic Writing Advice
Take everything said with a grain of salt because this is just what I do…not what everyone should do
I’d like to give writing advice to people as someone who has written stories since I could pick up a pencil. However, I’m realizing a lot of my advice may not work for everyone…
Despite this I will be posting this post anyway!
Make your rough draft good enough that spelling and grammar aside…you could feasibly send it out into the world! Then go back and fix things that need fixing!
The best way to know if something needs fixed is to have someone else read it! If they don’t understand what’s going on you need to elaborate more!
If you feel like you���re using too much detail or too many words try using bigger words in place of two to three smaller words!
Act out scenes in your book as you write them and be aware of how you do things! Watch how others do things and emulate that! Study people! It’s the only way to write movement well…
For that first draft focus only on getting it to sound good and flow well! Fix grammar the second time through!
Aim to write ten pages a day then get upset when you don’t do that! Guilt yourself into writing close to ten pages a day until your book is finished! You’ll be upset you keep not reaching your goal that you’ll be determined to reach the ten page mark and by the time you start reaching it your book is almost done! It’s a life hack to completing your book under your own nose!
Dont focus on one project by itself unless you think you can get it out in six months or less (what I did with my first ever book linked in my pinned post)
If you’re a reader like me don’t read any books while you’re writing (I know it’s hard but trust me I got way more done when I wasn’t reading) if you must read at least read something from a different genre!
Write in chronological order and make a bullet point list for your plot chapter by chapter if you must! You can go off path but so long as it you make it to the next bullet point you’re good!
Do not pigeon hole yourself into one genre!! You’ll get bored of it if you don’t challenge yourself!
Write for yourself and don’t be afraid to take inspiration from things! So long as you aren’t copying things word for word and so long as you aren’t stealing characters or plots ITS FINE! It’s great actually!! (Think of it this way…I am a HUGE zombie movie fan and just because there are already a lot of zombie movies out there in the world when a new one comes out I will definitely watch it! Not only will I watch it but I won’t care if it’s similar to another zombie movie I enjoyed!)
Get the words out of your head it doesn’t matter how! If writing scrawled words you can barely read across notebook paper gets them out then do it! Don’t let your story die!
If you let anything sit for over a year and it has less than five pages go ahead and re-write those pages! Start fresh from the beginning because you’ll never be in the mindset you were in when you first wrote it again!
If time was a social construct and the human body could withstand lack of sleep, water, and food…if locked in a cell with nothing else to do but write the ideal thing to do would be to push through and write the entire thing in one setting! Get that shit out of your head before it drives you insane! Since the human body does need sleep, water, and food I suggest writing as much as you physically can before stopping! The only reason I’ve ever finished a book was because I wrote the first twenty or so pages in one sitting!
Re-read your book until the thought of looking at it again gives you a headache! It’s the only way to catch all the mistakes…(side note: when combing through the interior of your book don’t make the mistake of slacking on your cover thinking you are now invincible…you’ll make a mistake)
As your book nears its final chapters go ahead and design the cover! Select a style and a theme to match your books contents! Amazon cover designer has great covers but I recommend taking a photo for your cover! (At a later date I will make a post about cover design etc)
Taking breaks is good but taking longer breaks is bad! Get some water, get some tea, some koolaid, a pitcher of lemonade?! Whatever floats your boat! Set it next to you and when you’re stuck pour a glass and have a drink! I call this “Drink and Think” and something about pouring the drink into the glass and taking a sip helps refresh my brain!

WIP: Fictional Flame
You've Got Mail meets Beauty Shop when Paige Dela Cruz, a hairstylist aspiring to open the first Filipino-owned hair salon in the heart of little Winnipeg, falls head over heels for Christian Sato, or so she thought.
Paige Dela Cruz is a hairstylist who falls head over heels for the charming and sexy Christian Sato, or so she thought. She's actually talking to Eddy Silva, Christian's cousin.
While Paige and Eddy's messages become more intimate with each passing text, Eddy finds himself wanting to let go of his facade and show Paige the person he truly is.
As if her love life wasn't complicated enough, Paige faces another threat to her well-being. Her boss, Michael Coward. He takes everything from her - her clients, her tips, and her time. As Paige endures the constant nonsensical wrath of her boss, she begins to doubt if she'll ever be able to open the salon of her dreams.
_______________
I've contemplated whether or not I should post this because the more I think about my WIP, the more embarrassed I get which is so bizarre cause I'm over here trying to make it as a romance author. The self-sabotage and imposter syndrome are really sinking in right now which is exactly why I decided to finally share the details of my WIP.
Why did I write this book?
I was a hairstylist for 5 years and met the most amazing (and awful) people in the industry and I wanted to tell a more dramatized version of what happens in this cut-throat world that is hairstyling.
As a Filipino-Canadian living in little Winnipeg, I also wanted to share glimpses of what it's like being raised by immigrants, the food, and the covert racism I've encountered throughout the years.
Lastly, I just wanted to write my own romance because I love love. I love reading and watching love stories. I've always been a hopeless romantic. After my dad died in 2021, I needed some sort of outlet. I started writing a fantasy about a young girl who also lost her dad but then I reached a point where I couldn’t move on cause fantasy was too big for my brain to fathom lol. So I decided to stick to a genre I knew I could do well, and that was romance.
_______________
I feel incredibly vulnerable right now while I type this because I'm BRACING for the criticism and the eye rolls. Not that anyone has ever done that, it's just the aNxIeTy talking. But again, thank you for following me on this journey to become a traditionally published author (crossing my fingers SO hard) and if you're also a romance author and need a critique partner/beta reader, please DM me so we can do a little swap-aroo (I just lost you there, didn't I?)
Here's the sign-up form if you're interested in beta-reading Fictional Flame: https://docs.google.com/
I'm not sure how to end this so in true Canadian fashion, thank you again and sorry for saying thank you so many times. ❤️

You know you’re a writer when you’re in some situation, no matter how serious/dire or mundane/boring and you say to yourself “i wanna/needa write about this”

Writing is beautiful.
Each page you write is another building block to the world you create with your fingertips. Vivid, complex characters with a spectrum of feelings coming to life and the scenes you spent time imagining forming before your eyes. A world to lose yourself in, a craft worth honing.

Me writing for personal or creative projects: Multiple drafts is all part of the process :) Each new edition is a better version of the one before :) I welcome any and all criticism :) I love editing just as much as writing :)
Me writing for academic or professional purposes: No beta we die like men. I’ll die atop this hill of shitty sentences before I heed any feedback; I ain’t writing this shit all over again.
