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

Editing Wang Yue's thoughts from the end of chapter 4 to the end of chapter 6.
#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
neeeeeeew
chapteeeeeeeeeer
tomorroooooooooooow
 
#LingYueMoving

I wrote "landland" instead of "landlord" 🀣

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

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
You have no idea how much I'm struggling to come up with chapter titles for this fic.  #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
Chapter 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

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

Finally figured out what Ling Rui needs to say in ch 10 and made myself cry. It's so simple, but it's exactly what Wang Yue needs to hear.

Also, I'm too lost in this fic and this ship again, feeling alone with all my feels without any emotional outlet.  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

I wanted to finish chapter 10 today but didn't have enough time, and now I'm too tired  #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

"Nervously, Wang Yue wiped his sweaty pants on his palms."

Are you sure about that, past-Sophia?  Seems kinda mixed-up. #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

hmmm.. the first half of chapter 11 feels a bit boring, but it's important for the rest of the story  #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

It's been a while since I was so lost in a fic. I missed it, even though it sometimes feels a bit lonely, too.

Buuuuut! I'll upload chapter 7 tonight, so maybe I can talk about it to some people once they've read it  

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

It's "lets overthink everything about this fic"-day  

Are my chapters too long?! But it's so difficult to cut them into two...

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

I managed to cut ch 11 into two parts, but I'm not sure what to do about ch9 and 10, especially 10 actually. Gotta wait until my beta-reader reads them. Maybe she'll have an idea about how we can cut them.
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
Have a snippet of ch 8 for #wipwednesday #FWIPWednesday #LingYueMoving
Uh, wait, wait, wait.
What if I take the ending of ch 9 and the beginning of chapter 10... and put them together for a new chapter. So... cutting 9 and 10 into three chapters.  that might work...
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

"Ling Yazhi was everyone while avoiding everyone's gaze."

Ling Yazhi was what, past-Sophia?!  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

I love chapter 14 so fucking much, even though it makes me cry every time    
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
I have no motivation to edit ch 15. Maybe because ch 14 was so amazing, and ch 15 won't be that good β€” which is fine! This is a long slice of life fic. It has ups and downs. Not every part can be super intense. But yeah... don't wanna edit. I just wanna be done. #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
Finished editing chapter 15! Still not perfect, but good enough. #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
5 more chapters to go 

The scene at the beginning of ch 16 needs so much editing that I skipped it  

let that be future Sophia's problem while I edit the other scenes of this chapter  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

I've written so many fics/words, but I still struggle to describe things (buildings, rooms, peoples, everything) in an interesting way  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
@SophiaHoppia Ignore this of course if it's no bueno, but what I do is I try to get in my character's heads and describe the details would grab their attention (even if doing it in third person)
@Cathy_McM Thanks for the advice! I tried to focus on what's important for the story and how it would look from my character's POV, so I guess I did it right.
@SophiaHoppia. There’s no wrong way! That’s what i do when im jammed.
