No, I completely feel you! It’s not fun in the slightest. I always dread having to edit mine.
I try to make it mind-numbing work, honestly. For 80% of the rote process, I have a show/music playing in the background. And then for about 20% of it, I actually focus on the content itself to refine it.

It’s stupid. It’s ugly. It’s exhausting. And it’s fucking pointless.

Their lives are their own. Their friendships/relationships are their own. None of this discourse actually affects them in any tangible way. It only serves to inflame our lives and sense of peace.

No one wins and everyone loses.

The way twitter is exhausting sometimes🫠

I don’t get why the tannies need to be pitttd against each other? Like, support whom you want-the group, duos, a single person. Why does that have to translate to hating on the others? They’re all clearly friends. What war is being waged here that matters?

It’s probably one of the most demoralising things I can think of (first world problems).
But if you’re starting from scratch, create a text doc of the info you want on there (with the right keywords, length, action words, etc.). Then start with a basic template. Word has some. Canva works too.

The way I have this whole story in my head but it’s been SO much hard to put on paper.

Times like this I wish there was a dictaphone for the brain, and then I realise technology is ruining our lives enough as it is 🫠 we can’t be conceding this to AI too. Not with a clear conscience, anyway.

So , hello 😅 I’m technically only 13 days overdue, and hey, if I had to choose a day, what better day than today?

I give you chapter 8 of RtR, featuring (2) Jimin POV scenes. Pure coincidence, that, but if it works out, it works out!

The way I have three separate things I need to write and want to write, but I can’t write three things simultaneously

AND none of them will be short either 🫠🫠

The worst bit? I already know how this song ends. I want to write everything so I end up writing nothing 🙃 objectively the worst outcome

I completely get that! I had a similar experience writing my first Seokjin POV! I’m sure you’ll knock it out of the park though 🤍

So I finally have something ready to go up in a few hours 👀

Ngl, the date’s a complete coincidence, but there technically are two jimin scenes this chapter!

This excerpt’s taejoon tho 🤷🏻‍♀️

"I'm fine," he exhaled heavily, straightening up as the magik's energy pleasantly settled into his core. "Really, Namjoon. I'm fine."
"You didn't look fine," the spellworker disagreed with him without hesitation. "Was it your core? I knew we should have brought it up sooner, but you kept saying it was handled, and 1, like an idiot, chose to listen. I'm the healer here-"
"I do have it handled," Taehyung interrupted him sharply. "It's an injured spiritual quintessence, Namjoon. You know as well as I do that there's only one way to handle it."

I know I said RtR this past weekend but between life, some pesky hiccups with my writing mood, & the headache I’m sporting right now, I’m not going to make any more promises that are wrong 😅 I am working on it, and it will be soon. Idk how soon, however. We’ll find out together!

I’m currently in the process of re-reading RtR (so I know I’m on track w/plot) and damn, that’s a long WIP.

I’ve also only corrected 4 teeny errors so far 😅

RtR’s Sep update will officially come to you in the first week of October!
I didn’t realise I’d be as swamped as I would be, this past week 😅

You will still get the actual Oct chapter as well 🤞🏼so it’ll be a double chapter month, which was originally the plan for Nov 🙃 So…yeah

Screenshot of the summary of the story from AO3: "We have one shot at this,” Namjoon nodded decisively, handing his spiritual reserves over to him. “One attempt at the ritual. One attempt at the loop. One attempt at fixing this mess."

"One attempt at bringing them back," Hoseok murmured.

"And it all rests on me, unfortunately," Taehyung gave him a hollow smile. And all he had to do to bring them back was lose them all over again. Easy.

OR

Their world had breached the point of no return. Magic had been destroyed to the point of no return. Their family had been devastated to the point of no return.

Left with little other choice, Taehyung makes the decision to save his family (and the world) by traveling back through time using one of the riskiest spells he'd ever created.

He goes back three years, to the very day he'd entered his lovers' lives as a convict on restricted parole.

I had a blast writing this story. I’m thrilled to see people giving it love🤍

When Kim Seokjin’s younger brother had gotten married, his mother had simply warned him to get with the program sooner rather than later (he hadn’t). When his younger stepbrother followed suit four years later while he remained woefully single, his mother had all but sworn to focus her matchmaking efforts on him next.

Desperate to avoid his determined mother’s machinations, Seokjin had sought to soothe her the only way he knew how—with the news of a supposed boyfriend, played by long-time roommate and close friend, Taehyung Kim.

Fifteen long months later, it all comes to a head when Kim Seokjin and his boyfriend, Taehyung Kim, are invited to join his family on a trip to Vermont.
