Should I cut my hair...? It's so heavy but I like it. And no, I'm not using hair extensions. I'm worried about summer though I do feel girly with my hair like this: Sometimes the urges to cut it are so strong and tempting me to join to the other side lololol

First encounter.

The first time he saw her they were in a ball. Neutral territory. Not her castle, nor his. For him she was a mysterious lady in red. Couldn't be presented to her and she didn't notice him. But he saw her all night until she disappeared. Next thing he knows, he's scanning the entire room, looking for her. Without luck, and disappointment hits him hard.

But it must have been destiny, because he was about to leave when he saw her from afar. Not like she was good at being invisible. She could stand out in middle of a crowd and the only thing he'd be looking would be her. She looked a bit weird, her movements weren't as graceful as they used to and was being questioned by a couple of guards. As soon as she saw him, made her way through, carefully avoiding the swords of the guards and grabbed his arm. Next thing he knows she punches him a bit, and feels a dagger in his ribs. Her breath smells strange... like she was poisoned. He's still processing everything when she talks.

"He's my husband. I told you he would came back for me. Now, leave us." There's power in her voice. But she still sounds sweet. Like a kid. That doesn't help her at all, he thinks. Amused. The guards looked at her dubious then at him, surprised.

"I'm sorry your Royal Highness, I didn't know you were married."

"I didn't know either." He jokes but the dagger presses more against his skin. "It's recent. I'm still getting used to it. Sorry gentlemen. You'll have to excuse my wife, she doesn't feel good. Would you be so kind to send for a doctor?"

She blinked. Her eyes were losing focus and for a moment he can see her thoughts which are written in her face, clear as an open book. Did he sent for help? Was he distracting them? Or making her escape more difficult?

"It won't be necessary." She replied, a bit more dryly this time.

"I insist." He said and the guards were quickly dismissed. She got angry.

"Why are they only hearing you? I'm a person too... oh wait, no, better not going that way..." She snickers. He laughs holding her firmly when dizziness overcomes her. Even being poisoned, she's brilliant. "Let me go, unless you want to burn."

"You welcome by the way.” Clearing his throat realizes how pompous he just sounded but still smiles, doesn’t want to lose her again, not until his curiosity it’s satisfied. “I wouldn't mind. But in your condition it's not recommendable."

She’s still trying to leave him behind. His hands are still close to her but now without touching her. Just in case she falls, he says to himself. But truth is, her aroma it's intoxicating. Sadly is still mixed with poison. He’s starting to get worried.

"Stop following me." She snarls.

"I need to take care of my wife. She's been poisoned." He still doesn't understand why he said that but her reaction is way too funny. She stops, looks at him without really looking, her retinas are a bit too wide for his liking. Then she inflates her cheeks as a fish, shakes her head then frowning her eyebrows turns back and keeps going.

"Sorry about that. You can go." As stubborn as she's, she tries to threaten him with her dagger but falls as soon as the dagger touches his neck. A couple of drops fall to the floor. He's bleeding. Not profusely.

"What were you trying to do? Flirt? I'm sorry in advance about this." He said and lifted her up. It seemed like the best option at that moment.

"What!? No. Wait. Put me down." She panicked. And as soon as he has her in his arms he understands why. She's heavy despite looking so fragile, more than that. He's probably carrying a couple of daggers and swords with her too. All of them, under her dress. Scared of hurting her more, he puts her down again. "Why are you...? Nevermind."

In middle of his thoughts she has already reached for the outside door. That girl's impressive. As he tries to reach her, he notices she's jumping into a carriage. His carriage. He smiles. Probably not the carriage she had in mind. But it doesn't matter.

As soon as he opens the door he sees her figure and his heart stops. She's barely breathing. There's an unopened bag with some herbs on her lap. Quickly he grabs the bag and feels a dagger trying to stab his arm. Forcing her to take the medicine requires a lot of strength for someone who's about to die. She bites him. Not strong enough to cause him to bleed but still... If she doesn't take this she'll die. Something tells him that he needs to stay away but can’t help himself leaving her to die. So he hugs her against her will, taking her dagger away. And puts her in a position where she can run if she wants. She must have felt no threat at all because she stopped struggling and his hands reached her nose to let her smell the herbs, she opens her mouth, allowing him medicine to enter in her body.

As soon as that happens she falls asleep in his arms. Relaxed. He observes her, worried. Wondering who's she and how did she got poisoned. Why does she has so many weapons? She's recovering color on her cheeks. "You're so pretty..." And smart. A sudden impulse overcomes him and he wants to kiss her. But he shakes his head. No. That would be harrowing since she's asleep. Trusting him. Instead he caresses her cheek. She's really pretty. But he'll have to interrogate her as soon as she wakes up...

Next thing he knows is she's long gone. Disgusted with himself for falling asleep realizes that her aroma still lingers next to him. It would be like a dream if only she didn't left her dagger behind. It holds no distinctive but he knows it's hers. Frustrated he swears he'll look for her. Sadly, once he does, she doesn’t seems to remember him. Must have been all that poison. Time has passed so she’s more deadly than what she used to be. And he’s more in love with her than ever before. He really wants to make her his wife. So there’s only a way to do this properly. He must conquer the Empire first.

After reading What is...? by @creativepromptsforwriting (if you haven't read her blog or follow her WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!?)

I decided to add some of my notes here too. Because it's on the little things I've been studying every night to get better at writing. So please consider this post as part/collab of "What is...?"

★Please keep in mind that this comes from someone whose first language it's not english, so, what for some might be obvious, for others it is not.

Blurb? is a short promotional description on your book. But can also be used to promote movies and other things.

Needs: Hook + Keywords (define an audience) + keep it short and leave them wanting for more.

* Remember to check for spelling and grammar mistakes.

Nowadays you can use quotes from your book as promo too. Pinterest is your best ally here. Make a bunch of attractive images with a colorful quotes and upload it on your social media! ^♡^

Honestly when it comes to promos you should exploit it all (meaning: create quotes, collage, your cover, promos, etc!) Be your own fan. Create a playlist, ambience, set the mood. Let your own world drag you into the woods, do not resist it.

If you love it, other will love it too.

W.I.P.? Means Work in Progress. So you have yet a lot to do to finish your story. it's okay, it takes time \^♡^/

Pathetic fallacy Vs Personification?

Pathetic fallacy

It's specifically about giving emotions to something non-human (objects, nature, or animals)

Writers use the pathetic fallacy to evoke a specific mood or feeling that usually reflects their own or a character's internal state. While I have seen some detractors of using this technique, think of Emily Brontë novel, Wuthering Heights, or Shakespeare in several of his works like Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth. Or Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. So study it and use it carefully and you should be fine. Times change but you should write however you want too.

Personification

On the other hand, is giving any human attribute to an object.

Think of The Beauty and the Beast, Alice in Wonderland, and Toy Story as great examples of what personification is.

Atmosphere? is the way an author uses setting, objects, or internal thoughts of characters to create emotion, mood, or experiences for the reader.

For me Mary Shelley with Frankenstein is one of the most accurate examples I can give, but when I think about it, Robinson Crusoe, and Moby Dick, both feel tremendously claustrophobic and desperate to the reader, full of details, the time passes slowly and it's insufferable. Which in theory is not okay because the reader can drop the book but guess what? They're classic because you want to know what happens next. Which brings me to my next point, if you want to know more about the art of writing, you should try the following channels on YT:

Abbie Emmons

She has some interesting videos, but one crazy tip that will change your mind. It actually works. And don't worry, she keeps repeating it over and over so you learn it too. She also offers some courses and several activities like writing together (in case you're trying to write but can't, now you have a date!)

Ellie Dashwood

If you're into social dynamics, subtlety and want to get better writing period stories wether they are romantic or dramas, then she's your best bet. While she doesn't teach you how to write better she does teach you literature and history. And trust me, some of these things can be more than helpful. The way she analyzes and provides for clarification over social situations has made me understand not just Jane Austen but my own time in a different way.

Fiction Beast

This is showing me a lot of literature and making me read classics. Of course it wouldn't work if it wasn't because of Ellie but it's a must! because it does explains a lot.

Ana Neu

I just discovered her and Ellen so I can't say a lot of things but their videos have been really helpful with some of the things I've been working on especially with Fit or Die, so you should check out both of these girls.

Ellen Brock

and of course, he needs no introduction, but if you didn't know, he has several classes posted on his channel which have been helping me tremendously.

Brandon Sanderson

*Disclaimer: They're not paying me for doing promo. I just do this on my own account because I truly admire their work and effort put into it. Plus, I always do this for anyone if I truly admire the way they work. And I believe this is helpful for anyone with hopes of becoming an author. Even if it's just a hobby. Have fun~!

Harry was not sure when she started looking different in his eyes. Maybe since the very beginning. The way she answered back was unlike anyone he ever met after all. Maybe it was because of her childish behavior. Or the day they went together on a trip.

Or maybe it was since the angel came and tried to take her away from him. His possessiveness towards her took him by surprise. The bird couldn't be more happy about it of course, but somehow, he managed to shut it up.

Surely the stupid song she suggested was playing tricks on his mind. Because under the led lights, and with the moon behind them, something in the spring air made him realize her eyes were glimmering in a different way.

A strange feeling sank on his stomach while he held her in his arms and led her to the dance floor. Her shampoo reached his nostrils and made him hug her, she looked confused for a moment but returned the hug, all Harry wanted was for that moment to last forever but it was starting to get awkward. She was way more tiny than him but that didn't stopped him. Dancing was also not his best skill but she loved it so they there were, sharing their first dance together.

Once he finished hugging her, his companion looked like she was about to disappear in his arms, like some kind of twisted spell. And the worse thing was that he could not bring himself to say anything but his anxiety kept creeping in. Apparently his usually chatty friend was experiencing something similar because she didn't say a word. He felt his cheeks burning and had to step a bit to breathe leaving her in middle of the dance floor.

"What is this?" He didn't want to ruin something that was already perfect.

"Is it, really?" asked the bird on his phone like it could read his mind. He turned around but couldn't find her anywhere near him. A cold breeze went through the place and she appeared near him with beverages for him and herself.

"You looked like you needed sparkling water..." Said her, but the moonlight made her look lovely and there was no way she could do anything at the moment with her hands busy holding the drinks, so he looked at her for a good minute before he cursed under his breath and reached for her lips.

She shivered under him, but returned the kiss. And the night couldn't be more perfect now.

"No~" Said she, lightly pushing him away. He could see her heart breaking into tiny pieces. That damn angel was holding her captive in a mental prison. Unless he found it she would never be able to free her from it. She had been distant. Cold even. And Harry hated it. He wanted her back.

Harry woke up sweating and cursing the full moon again, because when he tried to reach for her, she was not there.

---------------------------------

N/A: Just something I created because my laptop is not working rn (updates and stuff) and I've been crying a lot after the angel appeared... seems like Harry truly doesn't like me.... even more, he hates me, according to the angel... I never really realized that one of my biggest fears is being hated by someone I like... no, I love, so much. I think I also owe a huge apology to whoever I have ever hurt with my words. If the pain you suffered it's similar to mine... I'm truly sorry. I'm in so much pain I cannot think properly so this has not been properly edited but I still hope you guys like it.

My diet & Workout Routine

🍒Pics Masterlist here🍒

Well, it's not exactly a diet, but at the same time it is, kind of(?)

Sooo for those who are curious, I do ballet, and I'm really petite. About 5'0 (153 cm.) which means I need to lose a looot of weight and gain strength to be able to keep up with everything.

Couple of months ago I got really sick so I gained weight. And I struggled with that. Now I'm in a better place, and I can say confidently that I'm making a recovery. I still have a long way to go but hey! I'm getting a treadmill this month~ *♡*

Anyway, my rules:

I don't eat anything after 6pm (no matter how much I'm starving)

I started with this one first because I know how hard it is.

So I'm not saying it's was easy, but at first I started eating at 9 or 8pm, then I started eating my last meal at 7 or 6pm but nowadays I'm eating at 4pm

It takes time, discipline and training yourself to not eat anything.

I did notice some significant change after this. Mostly my muscles started to appear and I developed my ballerina appearance. Which still needs some improvement but I'm getting there!

If I'm really starving I might drink some water with lemon or soup without anything else.

No snacks between meals

This is not even a tough one for me but it's worth of mention because a lot of people do it and it's a way to self sabotage your progress. Don't do it. But if you do, make sure it's close to your meal time at least.

No lying on the bed after eating

I usually go for a walk or climb up some stairs, I recently bought my cats a transporter so I go out for a walk with one of them after every meal. I have three. It works puuurrrfectly lol

So I do that before going back to work or to study. I'm making sure my meal doesn't put me in a comma.

There's an old chinese saying~~

If you can stand. Don't sit. If you can sit, don't lay.

It has been working pretty good so far.

I drink water. Two to Four liters.

But that's just me. I tend to workout a lot so I definitely lose a lot of liquid and I need to keep myself hydrated. Do not over hydrate yourself. Know your limits. If you're feeling tired, drink water. Most of the time you need water.

Two meals per day.

Three if I'm really starving. But usually two. They're big ones so I don't really starve. Don't worry about it.

*I workout from 8 to 9AM (three days a week) and then from 4 to 7PM (admittedly, whenever I can instead of everyday, because I have to keep it up with my studies and projects)

* My last meal tends to be at 4PM

(From time to time my mom cuts me off rice, sugar, soda, mayo and bread. It's a torture but it's worth it! But since I have an ED I can't keep it for longer without going nuts. So she watches my intake.)

Workout Routine

* I'm not going to the gym but I do follow several routines depending on my stamina that day.

* I have ballet 3 days a week: Tuesday. Thursday. Saturday. I try not to skip classes but sometimes I have appointments at the hospital.

* I always take the stairs.

* I walk at least 5k per day (with low stamina) but good days can be up to 8k or 12k

I'll be posting my workout routine soon but here are some of the things I do:

♡ Routine #1 (still working through this because it leaves me exhausted)

♡ My Kpop Routine *soon*
