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

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 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

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

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

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)!

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.
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
#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
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 #LingYueMovingOpened my fic to start editing, and the first thing I see is this:
SUMMARY: Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Thank you, past-Sophia. I love you, too 
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
Guess what? Editing this fic makes it even longer
I still have 500 vocabularies/phrases/things left to check
And that doesn't include rereading and editing...

I wanna make more progress with this fic, but I'm so exhausted... my editing speed is way too slow.
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
My goal is to finish editing chapter 2 today! 
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
#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
#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
#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
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
#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
#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.
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
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

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
Editing Wang Yue's thoughts from the end of chapter 4 to the end of chapter 6.
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
I wanna keep editing and upload more chapters, but I already threw chapters 4-6 at my beta-reader. Gotta pace myself #LingYueMoving
#LingYueMovingI wrote "landland" instead of "landlord" π€£
I'm taking so long to edit this fic... but chapter 9 looks pretty good already. I should be able to finish editing it this weekend #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMovingYou have no idea how much I'm struggling to come up with chapter titles for this fic. #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMovingChapter 9 is edited! It has 9998 words, so I'm sticking to my rule of "no more than 10k words for a chapter!"
I also have some ideas for a chapter title, but not sure which one to use... I'll ask my beta-reader for advice

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
Editing a really important scene in chapter 10 and struggling with Ling Rui's words. Usually, dialogues are my strong point
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
just Sophia things: overthinking one sentence of a 125k words fic
I always struggle so much when I'm editing long chapters... I'm already trying to focus on one scene after another, but still.
Or maybe it's because I'm struggling with editing in general, and it just shows more when I have longer fics/chapters
