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  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

I'm so emotional about this fic again  #LingYueMoving
quod erat demonstrandum    
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
I'll upload chapter 1 tomorrow!  
#LingYueMoving

"Yeah." Wang Yue turned on the faucet and held his right head under the cold water.

...

Ah, yes. Wang Yue with his two heads and one hand.  #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

gdocs wants to change "Ling Yunzhi's voice" into "Ling Yun Zhi S voice"  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

I'm really struggling to edit chapter 5 for some reason. I've gotta change so much because of how the following chapters turned out... ugh.

Chapter 2 will be out next week. Not yet sure when exactly. #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

First rough edit is done. The chapter is better now, but it's still not good enough.  

I've gotta try and fix this another day. Step by step. #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

If I don't come home too late tonight, I'll upload chapter 2 and try to finish editing chapter 5!!  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
I'll finish chapter 5 now. Because I've reached the point where I've reread and edited it so many times that I get annoyed whenever I see it. It's gotta be enough, even if it's not perfect.  
#LingYueMoving #SophiaEdits

I just read chapter 6, and it already feels 95% edited XD well done, past-Sophia. It's so nice compared to ch 5.

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

I think I'll use the train ride to reread the remaining chapters of #LingYueMoving
It's easier to edit if I have an overview of the whole story. (Yes, I only wrote it in November, but I already forgot a lot.) #SophiaEdits

I love chapter 10    #LingYueMoving

and rereading everything was a good idea. So many things don't add up. Gotta fix that #SophiaEdits

"So Wang Yue let it all out β€” the joy and the pain, the hope and the fear, the (???) and the (???)."

Wow, past-Sophia. Thanks for that incomplete sentence  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

Chapter 3 will be out tomorrow, I guess  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

Finished rereading the whole fic and took notes about everything that I need to add.  

Now I've really gotta get back to properly editing everything ... tomorrow  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

maaaaan, I love the hurt/comfort and character development in this fic  
It just feels like it takes too long because this whole fic is so long. I lost count because of all the notes, but it's something around 120k words  
#LingYueMoving

My perfectionism is getting the better of me. I even changed parts of chapter 3 today, even though my beta-reader had already read that chapter...

and I, once again, changed sth in chapter 5. Ling Yunzhi is giving me trouble, but it should be okay now. #LingYueMoving #SophiaEdits
