nanowrimo: say seven.
- project i worked on today: university au.
- today's word count: 278.
- total project's word count: tbc (i still need to edit stuff).
today was a very productive day both not as word count lol.
I finally finished redoing the structure for the university au (the nanowrimo 2022 project). I had about 30k already written but I didn't like where the story was going and I was forcing some stuff that wasn't working at all. so today I fixed it!! I already started writing some of the new stuff but there is still so much to rewrite. I am excited though.
the other thing that I did was working on the world building for the bad blood au. I think I have the base ready but there are many details that I still need to think through before I can begin writing it.
I am happy with today, yay.
see you tomorrow <3
nanowrimo: day six.
day four and five are non existent because life happened. but I am back on track (i hope so). c:<
- project i worked on today: fluff cc.
- today's word count: 1268.
- total project's word count: 12775.
I finished the fic!!! the fluff cc is done!! I just need to edit it and it will be ready for publishing!!
I am happy in the way it came out in the end. I don't think the editing process will be hard. So expect more updates on the other projects for the following days!! c:
here is something of what I wrote today:
“Jagi, Sungie. I had never felt the urge to care for someone like I do with you. And even though you don’t feel like you help me, you do. You are not upfront like Chan hyung. But you are what I need. Your actions, your advice, your jokes. And I… I am so bad at this, but I… I feel for you. More than I allowed myself to.” Jisung finally rose from the floor and sat next to the older. Suddenly the distance between them was unbearable. Minho held his hands tighter. “So, Han Jisung, I need you to be more clear about what you mean by one-sided.”
see you tomorrow <3
nanowrimo: day three.
- project i worked on today: fluff cc.
- today's word count: 382.
- total project's word count: 11507.
I don't have much to say today lol. I started writing really late. I am so tired, it was a really busy day. but I wrote something and that still counts <3
I don't have any snippet today, see you tomorrow!! <3
nanowrimo: day ten.
word count: 21347 words (1585 today).
today I finished almost all scenes from jisng perspective. there is just one missing and that is sung describing minho's dancing. I am kind of intimidated by that. I shall see if tomorrow I have the brain capacity for doing that, or I will just jump into min's pov.
I really struggled to get into the right headspace. I wanted to just do nothing for the rest of the evening, and probably would have done that if it wasn't for this challenge. even so, I managed to do above the number of words for today. that is cool c:
“Sure, Ji… Look! Minho is coming.” Jisung jumped and turned himself around. He looked for the big glass doors at the front of the library. Students were coming but there was no sign of the guy with black hair and probably some comfy workout clothes. He sat back down and turned to Seungmin to ask him where he saw Minho. He scoffed when he was trying not to laugh.
see you tomorrow <3
nanowrimo: day nine.
So, today I did a little more than what the nanowrimo website suggested for today.
word count: 19762 words (1469 today).
I finally finished chapter three!! I really liked how the scene with min and sung turned out. I still feel like it needs editing but that is going to be for later. also, this chapter is almost 8k long (the first two were a little over 5k each) and I can't wrap my head around it. how???
I started chapter four. I think I can finish jisung pov tomorrow and prepare for minho's. but I am going out to see black panther, so, we shall see.
here is sneak peek:
Jisung whispered down unable to meet the older’s eyes. “Maybe I don’t want us to be just that.”
see you tomorrow <3
1 to 8 days of nanowrimo
I hadn't thought of giving my nanowrimo updates on tumblr but I think it will be more fun than twitter. so here we go!!
I tried to do this challenge before but failed miserably because it matched with finals season at uni. but this year I am free (and jobless :c), so, this year I am nailing it!!!
this is my word count so far (I started with 8871 that I wrote during october).:
day one: 9373 words.
day two: 10666 words.
day three: 12108 words.
day four: 13029 words.
day five: 14440 words.
day six: 15643 words.
day seven: 16850 words
day eight: 18294 words.
This is chaptered fic about my precious boys: han jisung and lee minho (from stray kids <3). It is a colleague au and the first fic I had ever written. I am having so much fun writing it.
I already finished chapter three (out of ten)!!! I still don't know if I will start publishing it now on ao3 or wait for the end of the month and edit it out as a whole. we shall see, I guess.
but yeah, I am a week in and still excited about this journey and where it is taking me.
<3

Al final de cuentas, regresé bien; el cómo es otro asunto. Compré mi boleto redondo desde diciembre cuando me aceptaron en UK. Antes de irme sabía que regresaría a casa el 16 de junio. Cuando ese día llegó ya tenía mi maleta lista y estaba preparada mentalmente a pasar más de 17 horas en un aeropuerto en un país que no conocía. Ese no era plan original pero #covid19 arruinó todo. La aerolínea Air Canada canceló mi vuelo original y me dio el del día siguiente. Yo no escogí ese vuelo. Anyways, llego el 16 a Heathrow con mis dos maletas listas para abordar. Desde que me vio el personal de la aerolínea con mi pasaporte mexicano, me empezaron a mandar de fila en fila. Hasta que uno se dignó a hablarme me dijo que no podía subirme al avión. No checaron mi número de reservación, solo mi pasaporte. No me quisieron explicar bien porqué. No me ayudaron a conseguir otro vuelo, no me devolvieron mi dinero. El gerente me dijo que fuera comprarme otro boleto de una manera grosera. Por suerte, mi amigo y su familia que me llevaron estaban ahí conmigo. En medio de lágrimas y una ansiedad hasta el tope, le hablé a mi papá. Empezó a hacer llamadas desde acá mientras yo hablaba con AC y United (a quién le había comprado el boleto desde el inicio). Ninguno tomó responsabilidad, ninguno se disculpó, ninguno me escuchó. Hasta que mi amigo; hombre, adulto y británico, habló con ellos puede entender que pasó. Hablaban con él como si no estuviera ahí. Cambio de políticas de migración de todos los países; no puedes pasar una noche en un aeropuerto. Eso ya lo sabía la aerolínea desde hace un tiempo pero cuando hablé para saber las medidas de seguridad, no dijeron nada. Ningún correo, nada. Terminé comprando un vuelo directo por British Airways que salía el día siguiente. El personal de BA me ayudaron a conseguir un hotel donde pasar la noche porque ya había dejado la universidad.
Después de llorar con mi mamá al teléfono, decidí to threat myself. Lo merecía después de llorar en medio aeropuerto y tener una crisis nerviosa pensando que me quedaría en Inglaterra de esta manera. Pedí servicio al cuarto, hablé con una amiga, y me di un baño en la tina. Ya el siguiente día, todo marchó bien. Una terminal vacía me llevó a un avión vació a mi papá. Al final me expuse menos y viajé más cómoda pero nada quita que dos personas de Air Canada me hicieron llorar más de tres veces.
pink, like your brain. 💕
To be honest, being forced to stay inside was a blessing and a curse. I am an introvert by heart. My own space gives me comfort and calm. Inside those four walls, I spent two and a half months of my life. It wasn’t productive besides school work. I did not finish the novel I had been working on for almost a year –and I don’t think I will before summer ends–. I didn’t publish anything here because I wasn’t worth to my eyes. I just existed.
I walked around at the university when the stars aligned. Aka, when the weather, the laundry situation and my mental state was coordinated. Besides that my daily walk was going to Park Eat on the campus to get my dinner. I would call my mum at that time. She was doing some cleaning or making food. We would chat or video chat and she would keep me company while I ate my dinner. I think that was the part of my messed up routine that I miss now that I am back home. Walking to the university with the singing birds laying on the trees.
Talking about messed up routine. My bedtime was between 3 - 4 am. I had never seen so many sunrises in such a short time. Most of my night time would be trying to be creative just to fail and sleep all morning. My breakfast was more of a brunch at 1 pm. I had my eight hours of sleep... just a little bit off.
But what quarantine truly gave was the consolidation of two growing obsessions: BTS and star wars. I had been listening to BTS for a year now. The happiness that the band gave me was something else. Musical theatre, twenty-one pilots and BTS were the tunes that kept me company during the lockdown. And Star Wars, this was completely Tiktok's fault. The amount of cosplay, memes, and Kylo Ren edits made me love the universe more. And my emo virgin boy Kylo.
