Maybe I won't make it cause I'll be too busy, but I'll TRY to do #nanowrimo
I have 1,2k words of notes!

I wanna write #LingYueMoving
I wanted to write this since January, but let other people stop me.

I always felt like it was an important part of my LingYue series. I don't know if anyone is still interested in this old series, but it bothers ME that the series feels incomplete because this part is missing.

So I'll write it. For me. No one will stop me this time  #SophiaWrites

Since #LingYueMoving takes place after the second fic of my series, I should probably reread that before I start writing. Even though I'm pretty sure I remember everything. 
... you may take bets if I actually manage to refrain from writing until Wednesday or just say, "Screw nano and any events, I'll write now." #LingYueMoving
Everytime I reread my fic "You, me, and my mental health," I realize how much I rushed to write/edit it. But hey, I can learn from that mistake. I won't rush with #LingYueMoving β€” nanowrimo or not 

I'm at 1,8k words notes now and have reread 6/7 of the prequel. It's really time to start writing soon.

I cut my notes into 12 parts, although part 8 is super vague and feels like a big hole in this outline... but I'll tackle that once I get there. Also, not sure if that means there will be 12 chapters  #LingYueMoving #SophiaWrites

btw, I said, "screw nanowrimo," and started writing yesterday  #SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

I've got the entire day off tomorrow. No videogaming with friends, no watchparties, no DnD, nothing.

I really hope I can write some #LingYueMoving
Didn't work out on the weekend for whatever reason  (I wrote 2,7k words in two days, but they felt very forced...)

#LingYueMoving part 1/12 done!

100 words notes turned into 6k words #fanfic   

Uh... yeah. Maybe this fic will have 12 chapters after all. Let's wait and see where this is going. I won't rush. And if some parts get shorter or longer, then so be it  #SophiaWrites

Love the irony of still being stuck after the sentence "The drawn-out, displeased groan that followed told more than a million words."

Like, yeah... but I still want you to rant now, Ling Rui. Come on. Start talking! #SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

Usually, I'm overcome by feels which causes me to plan and write a fic asap without doing anything else that isn't strictly necessary (work, cook, shower, etc).

But since I had planned this fic since January, I'm rather chill about it?! Like, I wrote a bit just now and the chapter isn't done, but whatever. I'll play video games now.

I'm not used to this slow writing progress XD I don't mind! But I just hope the fic ends up well anyway  
#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

"slow writing progress" in Sophia terms = 10k words in a week    
#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving
It's #wipwednesday so have a snippet from chapter 3   #SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving
I almost gave up on that fic today. Which would be stupid after 20k+ words.... I don't know why I'm struggling so much to write this fic, but I shouldn't push myself. There's no time limit. Step after step. And if it doesn't work out on some days, then so be it.
#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving
This fic is getting too looooooong. I'm somewhere in the middle(?) of part 5 of 12 of the outline and just reached 30k words. Urg... Sophia, please. Think about future-Sophia who has to edit all that  
#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

Me:
I think I'm finally getting into this fic!

The fic:
37k words so far  

#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

Uh-huh, yeah, I'm lost in writing in this fic. Byebye, other hobbies. It was nice knowing you. I'll come back once this fic is done.
#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving
I feel like this fic will be too tedious for others to read/enjoy, but my soul needs it, so I'll keep writing.
#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving
aah, yes. The fine line between "slice of life" and "boring as f*ck"
I'm afraid my readers might fall asleep reading this fic, but I could write about Wang Yue's day in detail forever  
#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

I'm writing #LingYueMoving and still haven't reached the point of "Let's move in together"  

I wanna write that sceeeeeene. uuuugh... soon. Sooooooon. I've already reached the right chapter... just... gotta get to that point. tomorrow #SophiaWrites

I should rename this fic to "Wang Yue suffersβ„’"

#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

GUESS WHAT

After 58,1k words Ling Rui finally said, "Let's move in together."  

#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

What if Ling Rui and Wang Yue just talked the whole night?

in other words: they won't stop talking, and I'm afraid this chapter will never end

#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

At least half of this fic is tackling the same problems and conflicts as my fics "Meeting you" and "Without you" ... but #LingYueMoving takes place in between, and Wang Yue doesn't get better from one day to the next, so... yeah  
#SophiaWrites
Outline? Haha. What outline? Wang Yue is just doing what he wants.  
#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving
I'm stuck. Chapter 9 is a mystery to me.  
#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving
Okay, I don't have to describe every day of a story fic in great detail, right? Even if I describe one day in detail, I can summarize the next one if nothing important/interesting happens that day, right?  Or just write out one important scene of that day. I've gotta learn that. #SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving
- I'm at 75k words
- I don't even know anymore how to get back to my outline
- I have no idea how many chapters this will have
- YOLO  
- also, I'm making Ling Rui suffer for a change and not Wang Yue  
#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

Oh, hey, it's #wipwednesday
#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

Have some Ling Rui wanting to bake for stress relief. (unedited  )

I wrote 9k words today, and my chapter is too long again. Gotta cut it into two somehow, but that's a problem for future Sophia while editing  
#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

... I said that, but I know I won't be able to sleep peacefully until it cut into two 

Huh. Okay. The scene at the end is longer than I thought, so it wasn't that difficult to cut.   

#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

How to focus on work when mind keeps trying to fix your remaining fanfic outline?!

#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

I think I've fixed my outline.

Gotta write 4 or 5 more chapters. (or less if they get too short. Or let's be real: more because they get too long.)

#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

I'm currently at 10 chapters with 80k words. Editing this will take forever. 

I've reached the point where I just want to be done.

But on the other hand, I'm still looking forward to writing that scene in chapter *peeks at outline* 13 I guess.

I'm currently somewhere in chapter 11.

I'm trying to wrap things up and stop writing out every minute of each day, butβ€”

#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

How many anxiety attacks does Wang Yue have in this fic? I've lost count.  

maybe I'm making my boy suffer too much...
#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

What was supposed to be chapter 11 will now be ch 11 & 12 because it's already getting too long again. I'm not even surprised anymore. So... 11/16 done. I think?  (the total used to be 12 chapters, and now I'm already estimating 16... this will never end  )
#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

Ling Rui is baking a cake in this fic, and I searched for a recipe and randomly posted it in my cooking group with friends, saying "Looked that up for a fic, but now I really wanna eat it."

And now my friend made it and sent pictures AND I'M SO JEALOUS. I want that cake  (she lives too far away and I don't have any of the ingredients to bake. I don't even have sugar at home because of my diet XD)
Aah... but I least I know the recipe works, haha. #SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

Yes, I'm still writing this fic.
No, I'm still not done yet.
I'm at 100k words now  
this first draft is such a mess
#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving
Oh, it's #wipwednesday
Here's a part of chapter 16 that I just wrote. Gotta write one more scene for this chapter, and then two scenes for the next chapter, and then I should finally be done (with the first draft)!
#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving
Just one more chapteeeer    
#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

ONE
MORE
SCENE
AND I'LL
BE
DONE!!

... no more time to write today though  
#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

Me, five weeks ago:
Let's write 12 chapters with 32-48k words in total!

My finished first draft now:
17 chapters with 111k words in total.

   

#SophiaWrites #LingYueMoving

I should probably reread both prequels before editing this fic. And maybe also the sequel. Just to make sure it really fits into my series and I didn't forget anything important  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
After writing 111k words with a made-up name, Begin Again episode 20 told me the name of Ling Rui's mum...  I know it doesn't take that long to change some names/nicknames, but my mind is so used to the other name now, aaaaah #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

Opened my fic to start editing, and the first thing I see is this:

SUMMARY: Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

Thank you, past-Sophia. I love you, too  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

Guess what? Editing this fic makes it even longer  

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

I still have 500 vocabularies/phrases/things left to check  
And that doesn't include rereading and editing...
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
I wanna make more progress with this fic, but I'm so exhausted... my editing speed is way too slow.
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

My goal is to finish editing chapter 2 today!  

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

I'm so bad and slow when it comes to editing long fics/chapters... Didn't do anything the last two days, and now I'm slooooowly trying to edit chapter 3. #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

gdoc wants to change "Oh my god, Yue'er!" into "Oh my god, You're!" ... that's a new one.

It also wants to change "Yue'er, Iβ€”" into "E'er, Iβ€”" ... this is wild. #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

uurg... I hate giving names to characters 'cause I always think it's just confusing for readers. But writing "the old landlord" and "the new landlord" all the time is even worse. Sorry, readers. You've gotta remember two new names...
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

It's totally normal to tear up while editing your fic, right?  

You made Wang Yue suffer too much, past-Sophia.  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

Cut "chapter 3" into two chapters and finished editing the first one! I'm starting to feel bad for throwing so much at my beta-reader  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
I just realized that #LingYueMoving will be my second longest fic. Well that wasn't planned. #SophiaEdits

"When they finally arrived, Wang Yue almost ran into the bicycle leaning against the white and green white."

The white and green white.
Magical, past-Sophia. Truly magical.
(it was supposed to be "the white and green wall" I guess)
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

Edited chapter 4!

first draft: 5,5k words
after editing: 8,7k words

uh-huh, sure
