waittttt that skyline sneak peak was SO GOOD. and totally not what i expected.

THE TENSIONNNN. you could cut it with a knife 😱 i love it already! EtL is always such a wonderful trope :’)

alsoooo haha i’m gonna do that annoying english student thing (i’m so sorry). there’s a couple of grammar mistakes in there 👀 you should definitely proofread. or an easier way is to run it through grammarly so it points out the minor errors to correct.

but other than thattt...i LOVE IT!!

- 🌻

abhhh thank you!!! i’m so so glad you like it and you’re excited!! this is my first enemies to lovers so i’m enjoying it immensely

and i’m not surprised there are mistakes in it, like i haven’t proof read it at all, these are taken from my drafts. and that scene i literally wrote in the five minutes after i received your ask (i had the idea so then i decided to write that one out cause i’d found some good one liners that i wanted to use) also i always proofread my works before they’re fully published, but the point of this ask game is to drag them straight out of your drafts, no matter what state they’re in so yeah that’s also why it’s not proofread

when i do edit though, i edit my stories at least four times

1- to check that the story flows, this includes checking that there aren’t too many time skips and that the story makes sense. this is where i rewrite the most and i normally do this twice

2- i check for spelling mistakes, this takes so long i usually have a lot of “fo” instead of “of” and things like that

3- then i check for grammar and this one also takes AGES - i also check by myself and then put it through google docs and spell check and stuff to double check

4- then i check for inclusivity - i make sure i haven’t mentioned hair texture or anything about changing shades or blushing etc. (if there is something i missed please do send me as ask or message with the story and where and i’ll change it immediately!!!!)

B and F? ο(‘・’〃)ο″

B: Any of your stories inspired by personal experience?

I wish? Haha. My life is so boring that I need my day dreams and writing to make up for it. 

F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

“...I have a question.”

Two questions in a single day? You liftedyour head, sending him a curious look. He met your gaze, and you saw that hismint-colored eyes were clouding with an emotion you had seen many times beforefrom him. You just never knew what it was, until now.

Desolation.

“Do you think heaven exists up there?”

It was a strange question to ask. It wasthe kind of question that would be asked in church. The kind of question asked bypeople who wished for redemption of some sort.

You weren’t very religious yourself, soyou probably weren’t the best person to ask. You felt the cool wood of thebench against your back as you leaned backwards and raised your head to facethe large expanse of deep blue above. Evening was setting in, and the cloudswere becoming less visible by the minute, camouflaged in the darker colors nowbeing painted across the sky. “I wouldn’t know,” you replied eventually with asmall shrug. “Only the dead would.”

“I guess.”

“But,” you added, “if heaven exists, thenthat would mean hell exists too.”

He blinked twice at that, before thecorners of his lips curled up into a sardonic smirk. “Yeah. That would makesense.” Then he leaned back against the bench so that he was level with you.Now the both of you had the same view of the same sky.

“Why the sudden question?” you inquired,before taking another bite of your cone.

“No reason,” he muttered.

“You never really struck me as the type toworry about what happens after death.” You had been around him to know thismuch, at least. Beneath the vacant expression on his face as he sky-watched,there would also be hints of childlike wonder within. He seemed more like thekind of person satisfied with the here and now, with the future inconsequentialto him.

Or perhaps, somewhere along the way,something had caused that to change.

“I’m not worried,” he replied. “Peopleonly worry when they’re uncertain.”

You raised an eyebrow. “And you’renot?” 

He let out a small scoff. “I don’t belonganywhere else.”

Itseemed to you that he had determined that all on his own, instead of beingresigned to a fate he couldn’t control.

I don’t think I was supposed to put in something so long, but I’m not really one for dialogues. I guess I’m just not very good at doing long, romantic speeches like the kind you’d see in TFIOS. I cringe at every attempt I make HAHA (I guess this means I need more practice thanks for the reminder anon XD).

This exchange was actually a draft for chapter 4 of “Believe Again” which I edited out because I couldn’t find a place for it to fit (I might just put it in a future chapter idk lol). I don’t have any dialogues I’m particularly proud of, but if I had to pick one, then this would be the most recent scene that I really liked. I see Saeran as a person who would continue to struggle with a lot of things even after recovering, and one of them would be guilt, since he has blood on his hands (and we probably don’t even know the full extent of the stuff he did in Mint Eye). So... I guess for me this dialogue captures it pretty nicely. :)
