my active wip right now is a 99z high school au that is. weirdly inspired by life experiences. which makes me think i shouldn’t post it, lest someone get the wrong idea. but it’ll probably be the next thing i post, once i figure out where i want to cut my chapters. lots of other long-term wips though! hopefully those will see the light of day.

currently, my main goal is to keep writing consistently throughout the year. i was discussing this with a friend the other day how most forms of art involve an element of consistent practice and repetition, but for whatever reason i expect to open google docs once in a while and be a god. but i can definitely tell that the quality of my writing and how pleased i am with it increases the more i write, so it is apparent that that is not how it works. i honestly think that the last few fics i wrote for previous fandoms some years ago are of higher standard than what i’m putting out now. so i’m just going to try to keep writing, experimenting with new things, actively identifying what i’m weaker at and practicing that. of course, i could stay in my comfort zone and just keep honing what i’m good at, but i want to work up to being able to open writing commissions someday which means i need to have a wider skillset. and if i’m going to be egotistical about my writing (/nsrs), then i’m going to have to put in the work for it first.

the main thing i’m challenging myself with right now is writing from different points of view, working with understanding different types of motivation and thought process. not sure if i’ll accomplish this by the end of the year, but i aim to have at least one fic that focuses on each wuju’s perspective. currently, including wips, i have: 8x luda, 4x seola, 3x dawon and eunseo, 2x exy and yeoreum, 1x bona and xuanyi. i should just bite the bullet and challenge myself to write a soobin pov right now (or even just work up to writing soobin, none of my wips include her at the moment?) but instead i will start another luda-centric fic.
