@lnmbeck Yes! My fiance is Korean, so we're doing a small ceremony in Korea for his family that still lives there and then a bigger ceremony in the US later for everyone else!

@ehsleeta You’re getting married in Korea? 😍
Hope you have a fantastic time!!
English
On my way to Korea today to GET MARRIED (like for real, my fiancé is coming with me). So surreal aahhhhhhhhhh ✨️💕✨️✨️💕✨️💕✨️💕

about to be aries season again, prepare to be sick of me
English
I mean I'm sureeeeeee those assumptions are coming from true experiences but idk mine were so chill, fun, and genuinely helpful
English
It's so funny to me when people have the assumption that writing workshops in MFA programs are just full of judgemental assholes with inflated egos because everyone was just chilling in mine. Like we were reading nonfiction swinger memoirs and having a great time 😭😭😭
English
@lnmbeck Unfortunately luck in the trad industry is more important than my book being good lmao
English
@ehsleeta I’m sure your book is great don’t worry ❤️ just bad luck!
English
Bought a necklace based on my book and it got lost in the mail. Spent multiple hundreds of dollars on an art commission for my book and was never given the art. So lmao feeling like this is a sign from the universe that I shouldn't get too attached to this book 👍🏻
English
@RebeccFung I enjoy it too! But I have to be in the headspace where I *want* to be picking apart stuff. Sometimes I just want to watch something for fun lol
English
@ehsleeta I actually like it. I must be weird because I can pick apart and still enjoy stuff.
English
The worst is when you study storytelling so intently that not only can you not read a book without picking it apart, you start to pick apart every movie and TV show you watch too and suddenly nothing is casual fun anymore.
That's why me and trashy reality TV are like this 🤞🏻🤞🏻
zara ꨄ︎@kqteharker
unfortunately for you, the more you read the more you'll be a critic. you'll start noticing patterns and storylines and flow and the moment u feel it's off in a book... it's so over
English
Also I mean with good stories AND bad stories. I think there is soooo much good out there too, and I also fixate on that to try and learn why it works so well. So either way I can't just have casual fun lol.
English
@Tellafrog Oh it's not losing hope at all!! It's just not being able to turn my brain off and relax while watching something because I'm too focused on the storytelling elements. I still fixate on storytelling when the TV show/movie is done really well, even more so probably than if not.
English
@ehsleeta Don’t lose hope in stories. If it helps, maybe make notes about the irritations you experienced and treat it like prepping to teach a course on the mistakes. Maybe then you can close the notes and keep it separate.

@helena_author If Nael Walsh has one fan, it's me. And if he has no fans, I'm dead.
English
There's a new love interest in my collection. Nael is getting popular among beta readers 👀
English
@KristinaKing121 Glad you let yourself rest! It's so important!
English
@ehsleeta I took a break last night after being on fire for the last week. I needed it, too.
English
One thing I SWEAR by is intermittently giving myself a day or two a week to detox from writing. I do not write. I do not think about writing. I do not talk about writing. I pretend like I've never written anything in my life. And it is a *lifesaver* at preventing burnout I stg.

You don’t have to delete chatGPT if you never downloaded it in the first place
Ian Carroll@IanCarrollShow
Love seeing the massive trend to cancel and delete ChatGPT after they agreed to let the department of war use their Ai tech for digital mass surveillance of Americans and autonomous weaponry. Shoutout to Claude for standing up to the warmongering government. Shame on Sam Altman for being a greedy evil slut.

Xuân while making out with Kỳ An: I fucking hate you. I hope you die. Kissing you makes me want to vomit. I will kill you and everyone you love so you have no one else but me. You’re so pretty.
trin@glooomiii
cute things to say between breathes while making out - i hate you - god i fucking hate you - i can’t believe how much i hate you - you taste so good
English
@BeccaACarter Such a game changer!! Always leaves me refreshed and excited to get back to writing again instead of always tired and worn out.
English
@BeccaACarter Ahhh totally believe you can do it though!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

@ehsleeta I know right? Adult? No problem. I breeze through it. This YA? Fuck me 😃
English
If I hear anyone saying YA is shallow and easy one more time I swear I'll bite them. Dude, my YA is so far the most difficult book I've ever drafted. This book is testing my craft
