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
Second half of chapter 16 is edited  the content is not my strong point, but I think it turned out really well, and I managed to create a nice atmosphere. I almost dare to be proud of myself!  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
sooo... what to do about that first half of chapter 16  am I in the mood to fix this now, or will it continue to be future Sophia's problem  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
Today, I checked my phone and had a notification that my beta-reader left this amazing comment on a very important scene of chapter 11 XDDD
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

I wrote "hair fryer" instead of "hair dryer" XD

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

chapter 16 is edited. It went from 4,9k to 7,5k words  I really slacked off while writing the last chapters...

4 more to go!
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

hmm... chapter 17 needs some polishing, but it's okay-ish. Had worse chapters to edit in this fic  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

past-Sophia was really creative when it comes to chapter titles:

15: look for flat
16: look at flat
17: flat and evening

   
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

chapter 12 is ready for upload but I'm overthinking too much   
I love this fic, but chapter 12 is the worst of all 20 chapters.
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

Still overthinking #LingYueMoving chapter 12  

Maybe I'll just upload my mobage fic instead today.

First half of chapter 17 is edited!  

... meanwhile, chapter 12 can just rot away in my AO3 drafts until my brain decides to post it.

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

These suggestions are so random sometimes...

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

wait, let me throw ch 12 into the world at a weird, random hour before my brain starts overthinking again tonight #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

Don't you love it when blankets just magically teleport from one spot to the next in the first draft of your chapter.  

But nothing will ever be as bad as Ling Rui's pants in "Choose your LingYue smut"  

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

Chapter 17 is edited!!  Only three more to go! I'll be sad when this fic is done β€” because I love it and because I don't have any jzeu fics left to work at afterwards  

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

Read the first draft of chapter 18 this morning. It's such a mess    
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
... I'm totally stuck again, even though it's just three more chapters to edit 
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

Tried to edit chapter 18, felt overwhelmed, and gave up.  

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

Has someone seen my motivation to edit this fic? It's just three more chapters... I can't give up now.  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
Still stuck. It's been two weeks now.    
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving
I finished writing this fic about 4 months ago and I'm still not done editing. This is ridiculous. Stop being such a slowpoke, Sophia!! Chapter 18 won't get better by ignoring it. #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

I
MIGHT
HAVE
LOCATED
THE
PROBLEM
OF
CHAPTER 18  

Now I just have to fix it!! #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

Yes. Yes, problem located, problem in the process of being fixed.  

This was caused by writing the first draft while thinking "I guess people would prefer it ifβ€”" SCREW IT. I don't prefer it, so I won't keep it.  

Now I'm rewriting half the chapter until I like it.  

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

Chapter 18 has been rewritten and edited  it's doooone   
10,7k words now instead of 6k  

but it's so much better now
seriously

only two more chapters left to edit now!
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

Haven't done #WIPWednesday in forever, but since I struggled so much with chapter 18, let me share a short part of it (not beta-read yet)  #LingYueMoving

(nsfw-ish)

I read through ch19 today. Gotta rewrite one scene, but apart from that there's not much to edit. I thought there was one more scene to rewrite, but apparently past-Sophia already took care of that  

And my beta-reader finished ch16 this week! Gonna upload it tonight or tomorrow (still gotta reread it one more time)

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving (20 chapters in total)

There's this character called Zhang Yan and my fingers keep typing Zhang Min all the time  

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

I won't make Wang Yue suffer anymore in these later chapβ€” oops, I did it again  

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

me, this week:
this scene is good

me, today:
but what if we make WY suffer and make this scene even better

 #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

"... even though he wore his thick, beige boat."

Ah, yeah. Ling Rui and his beige boat. Who needs a coat when you can wear a boat?  

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

ch19 went from 4,6k to 7,4k words while editing... you totally notice how I was slacking off towards the end of this fic  

only one more chapter to go now  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

Chapter 20 is so bad, I wanna cry. What the hell, past-Sophia?!  
#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

First part of chapter 20 is edited! Going by word count, that's about 1/3 of the chapter.

#SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

I'll try to finish editing ch 20 tomorrow. #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

My beta-reader is somewhere in the middle of ch 18 

I'm done.  

#LingYueMoving is finally edited. Just gotta wait for my beta-reader's feedback for the last chapters. #SophiaEdits

beta-reader finished the last chapter, so I'll upload it tonight

It's really gonna be over then  
My LingYue series finally feels complete.
#SophiaWrites #SophiaEdits #LingYueMoving

@SophiaHoppia Work has me so busy right now. I wanna read the last two chapters.
