This took me all day to settle on and it still doesn't feel right.

Step 1. Have some degree of undiagnosed OCD.
Step 2. Make about half a dozen calendars/planners that are all within viewing distance and when you think you have enough to properly keep track of everything that you are doing, make 3 more schedules just to be safe.

Thank you. You're very sweet. I absolutely will have a chapter 2 of CMBM. I just have to finish up one fic for krbk week and a bang fic (both of which are almost done), and then finish the next chapter of Say Something (which is about half done), then I will be focusing my energy back into Call Me, Beep Me. I'm excited to get back to it.

Why would you even ask that? There's nothing basic or boring about them.

Imagery. I struggle to adhere to the "show don't tell" and would like to be able to write scenes and descriptions in a more poetic way than, "he sat in the chair."

I would not. I am both not into selfcest and also lacking desire to have regular sex most days with being Ace.

🙏I'm no saint, but I appreciate it. I yell very angrily (a lot) where the rest of the fandom doesn't see me. Like if you ever see me angry on Twitter/Discord, that's likely only about 20% of my actual rage. lol

Because everyone is different. Would it be nice if all our interests aligned perfectly so that we could all happily consume our favorite things? Absolutely. Is it realistic? No. You're gonna find those "factions" in any fandom or ship space. Just like in real life. Not every personality meshes and some of it has to do with moral beliefs. Antis vs Proshippers, etc. People that are hard set in their ways about top/bottom dynamics. It'll never be perfectly cohesive.

IDK about /looking/ smart (are glasses wearers still stereotyped as smart?) but I appreciate it. I did PSEO my senior year of high school but never formally attended college after I graduated high school. I was part of my school's Speech team! I did Creative, so I wrote my own monologues. I've just always been writing in some capacity since I was a kid: poems, short stories, roleplays, fanfiction.

WELL, Shyn, I would use them to secure all my pictures on my walls a lot better than they are currently (nails + plaster do not agree), and then I would probably cry as I awkwardly shave my armpits with a straight razor. lol

ABSOLUTELY! Finding Ei-chan was based entirely on a KRBK dream I had.

There are absolutely people's opinions I value when it comes to writing. They help me grow while not being critical and only provide feedback as requested. I wouldn't say I necessarily gravitate toward a certain style but I really like the imagery brought about by certain writers: Shyn, MostlyBritts, ColleenWritesMN, SascakeGia to name a few. Their writing always captivates me and I easily become immersed in the narrative.

It's really hard. I got hit with imposter syndrome pretty bad not too long ago because someone whose writing I really like had posted a fic with a similar premise to one I'm working on and their fic blew up while mine has almost no one reading it. It's impossible to keep yourself 100% from comparing, if we didn't, we'd never improve upon our craft. The important thing is to remember that this is a hobby and hobbies are meant to be enjoyed. It's nice to have a few close friends that'll hype you up and cheer you on. It makes the writing process feel less lonely. (Idk if any of this really helps as advice.)
