Ugh, I wanted to text you yesterday but totally forgot, lmao.
Just wanted to say that your new book covers are awesome. I love it when people genuinely care about design and their overall profile style. It always shows they’re a bit more mindful of their image and presence on social media than most. And that really makes you stand out; I hope you know that ;)
So keep doing your thing, Julia!
(Or should I call you Ulyana, since we’re slavs? lmao)
// Btw, I’m writing in English so people from the English-speaking community don’t feel awkward seeing a language they don’t understand, and so they know they can talk to you in English too lol :D
@Polina_Popova hey there! Sorry - had a true smartphone detox lol (celebrated Christmas with my Family). BTW, HAPPY BELATED CHRISTMAS GIRL! haha I love the idea! It’s sounds really cool. I think it’ll be sort of a stream of thoughts and self reflection u know. And it’s cool! Like a true conversation with your readers! And thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with me! I am so happy that I found a person like u here! It brings me a sense of…being s/o tho. Thank you! Big big thanks!
@JD_Tourn, Julia, hi! Sorry for the late reply. Welp, I have a few ideas about what else I could share here, just thoughts for now. I absolutely LOVE writing essays; more like reflections on my inner processes, personality psychology, and the shadow sides of my soul (basically, about shit in my head, lmao—I have quiet a lot, bruh). Another idea is to create a book that would gather everything I make with my hands: graphic design, drawings, other visual works. A kind of personal creative archive. And then there’s one more idea—the strangest one. I call it ✨️arthouse literature✨️. I already have drafts, but it’s a very complex and unconventional form. It’s not a novella tho, more like texts w different random contents. Ideas/texts about things we usually don’t say out loud and don’t always even articulate in our minds. Feelings that are sensed through the body or somewhere beneath consciousness, but are difficult to put into words. This type of shi. It’s highkey an intriguing project, but it requires a lot of thought, yk. Eitherway, my number one priority is my poetry collection. There’s been quiet a pause in my publcations. Ideally, I want to build a reserve of translated poems first and then publish them on a schedule. Cuz posting irregularly on Wattpad (or any other social media) is, honestly, one of the worst decisions an author can make. To grow an audience, you need to stay visible. Not by posting constantly ofc, but simply by being present. Social platforms are simple in that sense: once you disappear from view, people stop remembering you. It’s not even harsh, it’s just how things work. So yeah, that’s where I am right now :)
@Polina_Popova hey, thank you! I am still getting used to this platform lol. I’m 22 (almost 23). Yes, have tooons of new drafts on my laptop - just need more free hrs to make it at list readable haha. What about u?
Hi, Julia! Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my work. I really appreciate it.
Hey there! I'm lwk bored lmao. Wanna chat here a bit? Tell me something about yourself. My name is Polina tho! <3
@Polina_Popova oh wow! Ok, I will do my best to overcome this - at least, I’ve started lol! I appreciate you! Again and again!!! Thanks a lot!
