// I reached 10k in #TheGlassKingdom!! 😱 The story's finally moving! // ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [ writing update ] It took me longer than expected to add more things in chapter 7 because I was stuck. It feels like my MC has walked into a wall and his head keeps on slamming into it. SO I left that particular scene and wrote another that excites me — that has more action! Gotta grab your character and throw him/her into an unexpected scenario and TRY to connect the whys, and what led your character there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [ re-introduction post ] PLUS, I realised that I have a bunch of new followers/friends. It was good timing too since @cassiedaywrites tagged me to share 5 random facts about myself. Here goes nothing: ▶I am an only child and I come from a multiracial family ▶I am a lover of Glee and a movie buff who loves writing reviews on my blog ▶I can read horror but not watch it. I always wanted to write horror but can't write it because what if the door squeaks open for no reason in the middle of the night, or what if I wake from a nightmare to see two haunting eyes staring down at me. SO, not gonna try writing one. ▶I love reading anything that has something forbidden in it like forbidden romance or friendship. YAS, gimme!! I also love slow burn romances. ▶ I'm not good at writing shorter pieces because once there is an idea, I will brainstorm like crazy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you, everyone, for sticking with me and joining me on this long writing journey. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tell me ONE fun fact about yourself. Are you a writer? Or a reader? Or both? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [ tags ] 📷 : @tasha_abraham #amwritingfantasy #finishthatdraft #finishthedraft #writingfantasy #writingispassion #writersloveforever #writingispassion #ilovewriting #writingfun #malaysianwriters #writedreambelieve #writersnetwork #spilledink #fellowcreativeminds #amplotting #writingisfreeing #wordporn #writersloveforever #firstdraft #writersunite #writingabook #writergirl #writereadrepeat #wipinspiration #writinganovel #writingfantasy #writerscorner #fictionauthor #writingfiction (at Tambun, Perak, Malaysia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-KHkSrAHOb/?igshid=1mal3owz3ekac

// all this research is making me dizzy and is disturbing my concentration on writing The Glass Kingdom // ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ever feel like this — when you are writing a chapter and you don't know what happens next, or how to describe this character, or what this room looks like, or how to portray your MC as an expert who knows everything about certain things, etc, etc? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am feeling this!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ At the end of the day, the sprinkles and icing decorations are not supposed to be on the cake because it is SUPPOSED to be a half-baked cake. A baker wants to bake a cake but doesn't know what other ingredients to add besides the basics. I have flour (characters, some have names and some don't), sugar (a plot that is all over the place), butter (chapters), eggs (chapter titles). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And for an inexperienced baker, and a writer writing a draft 1, things are going to get messy. That's how the cookie crumbles. BUT be proud of that mess because afterwards when you're doing the 2nd draft, it is going to be less of a mess. And from the mess, something good emerges: a new version of the story is born and everything falls into place. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What are you currently struggling with? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [ tags ] #2020willbebetter #TheGlassKingdom #poetrycommumity #bawritinglife #writingbuddies #soontobeauthor #writinginprogress #amdrafting #nerdcommunity #poetrysocietyofinstagram #poetryloversunite #postitivethinking #girlpoet #writersconnect #finishthatdraft #amwritingfantasy #finishthedraft #writingfantasy #writingispassion #amwritingfantasy #writersloveforever #storytelling #ipohwriters #writingispassion #ilovewriting #writingaseries #writingfun #malaysianwriters #writedreambelieve #amwritingdarkfantasy (at Tambun, Perak, Malaysia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B94FWCigMEK/?igshid=1afxlp6enmyag
