4, What are some words or phrases you feel like you overuse?
OK SO ACTUALLY I CAN REMEMBER JUST THE OTHER DAY I WAS WRITING AND HAD THE THOUGHT THAT I WAS OVERUSING A SPECIFIC PHRASE, BUT I CANT REMEMBER WHAT IT IS ANYMORE. I do way em-dashes way too much tho, I know I do (oops)
I will say uhh. I don't think I overuse this phrase, but in one part of manic monday, I wrote:
Words floated to Muichuro's ears like shiny little bubbles of sound. Pretty to look at, impossible to understand.
And I did actually end up reusing it somewhere in uhh. I think Stay Soft? (Could be misremembering tho) and It's not really an overuse of it, but just bc it's such a specific and sort of striking phrase, I found myself nervous about whether or not I was "allowed" to use it again. Which is stupid, for the record, I can use my own cool phrases as many times as I want, but yk. Can't control the brain worms
Actually watch me trying to fit this phrase into more fics. Take a shot every time you read the words "shiny bubbles of sound" in a Bird fic, starting now
14, What makes you happiest? New fic comments, kudos, bookmarks, user subscribers, story subscribers, or Tumblr asks?
Oooo this is an impossible question actually, because all of these things make me very happy. Comments and asks probably make me the happiest tho— or bookmarks with comments in them, which are also a special kind of fun just bc they're a persons personal notes to themselves on the fic.
I love feedback !!! I love knowing people are interested in my ideas and what I write!!! It is a drug like no other.
My friends keep railing on me for not being as active in the oc scene anymore but I cant help it when I'm getting so much positive reinforcement here. I probably would not be writing near as much as I do now if not for the people tossing breadcrumbs my way, encouraging me to continue
Looking at the number of people who have subscribed to my fics also fills be with immense joy, I must admit
17, What is something you recently felt proud of in your writing?
FINISHING AND POSTING CHAPTER 1 OF WORKING FOR THE KNIFE!!! IM SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!! ITS ALMOST 11K WORDS THATS CRAZY I COOKED SO HARD !!!!!!!!! SO WELL !!!!!!!!! I'm very very happy with specifically the last scene with Houhua's dad (if u know u know)
The fact that I've also gotten such incredible feedback on ch 1 so far also fills me with pride— Im so so happy that people enjoyed it and that it's (so far) living up to the hype !!! I love feeding the masses with my agenda,,,,
Other than that tho I am very pleased with the fucking giant bible of wolves of the woods lore and plot lines I have hidden away in google docs. I have so much content to write for that, with ch 1 like two thirds done around 7k words (which is way longer than I'd intended it to be, but, I wont complain) Once I finally post that I will actually explode with pride and happiness
