This was so beautifully expressed (although that’s not hard to believe since you’re the one who wrote it). I think that you starting to do things for yourself is one of the best forms or self love honestly. Having no expectations for your work from others yet still loving it yourself nonetheless will probably be so much less exhausting lol ANYWAYS I hope you start to feel better and start enjoying yourself in what you do and what you decide to put out there!

el, you write so beautifully!! i just caught up with pick me, and it’s genuinely so heartwarming.
          the relationship between y/n and sawako is so incredibly sweet — and also as complex as it is, because well, who wouldn’t be a tad jealous in a situation like that?
          i can’t wait for you to continue writing, and i’ll be right here, ready when you take us off this cliffhanger ‍↕️

itachizaki

hello!! thank you!!!! i've been putting a little more effort than usual LOL so i'm glad you're enjoying the story so far. 
            
            y/n and sawako's relationship is definitely complex. and so is sawako's and sakusa's, and sakusa's and y/n's!! just a bunch of complexities throughout the entire story LOL but it's interesting to explore. it's definitely seemingly unrealistic, but i think that's what makes it fun to write!! especially because it's a tough situation in general and, as the writer, you kinda get the chance to explore different thoughts, feelings and reactions from both or even all sides :3 
            
            i am in a bit of a writer's block and honestly just so tired lately that i haven't been writing. i'm not sure what i'll do yet (and i'm not sure i want to follow what i have planned or figure out a way to move into it—idk LOL) but smth will happen i guess!!!! 
            
            thanks for ur message :-D

Hey El!!! I know probably a lot of people have said this before, but I think your writing is so amazing, in the sense that whenever you post I never feel a wave of conflict because I know regardless of what you decide to write it will always end up fitting in beautifully and tying up perfectly with the storyline and the plot. I don’t mean to be cheesy or anything but your books are genuinely the y/n books that I can relate to most, I feel like I act so much like y/n irl that it’s so easy to fit myself in with your character. I would also like to mention that the way you write characters- from oc’s to canon characters- is so beyond beautiful?? Sometimes I wonder how it’s possible to depict a character so well, I’m always left in awe really! ANYWAYS I wouod have much more to praise you about, but I don’t wanna sound like a dick rider or anything LMAO so I’ll just leave it at this for now! (Also don’t feel obligated to respond lmaoo I’m just getting this off my chest!)

itachizaki

hi!! :3 thanks for your message!! i'm glad you feel so positively about my writing hahaha it's such a mess sometimes, but i am mostly enjoying myself so it's nice to know others enjoy it too!! esp since it's never as concise as it "should be" LOL 
            
            i'm glad you find y/n relatable!! it's hard to write for a y/n and i used to be so uncertain (and i think at times it's obvious when i am lmfao) but it's reassuring to know someone feels like they can insert themselves in what is quite literally a reader insert!!!! 
            
            i've been writing for forever now and have always liked basing aspects of characters off of people i know irl so i think that's maybe why it feels like i can depict characters well!! hahaha that's a huge compliment so thank you lololol i think i also just have an overactive imagination so mayhaps it helps with fictional writing when it comes to character "studies" and interactions. i definitely still need to work on world building and descriptive writing tbh!!!!! 
            
            but i'm enjoying what i'm doing now and i'm glad you're enjoying it too!! thanks for sharing your positive thoughts hahaha i appreciate it and it's always nice to hear someone's thoughts and how they feel :3 thank ya!!!

hi el !! <33 sighs it's so embarrasing how your works got a chokehold on me tbh HAHAHS every time i'm on a long break from sch, there is never a time my mind will not wander to some of the moments from your books, remembering how they exactly made me feel warm and squishy and just feel nice, overall :"))
          
          i know a lot of people have probably already said this to you, but you're such a talented writer, and i think that the dedication and love you put in your works will always get to touch other people's hearts (i'm alrdy sounding so cheesy oml HSHSHA pls bare with me and hold my hand xD)
          
          anw, they've also greatly inspired me to write my own fics too !! hoping i could also let others feel the same way you've made us feel in your storiess aack :")) so i just also wanted to ask for some advice on writingg hHSHSH bc i'm rlly having a hard time yeesh  but if it's only ok w youu hehe
          
          i wanted to know what's your writing routine like, from brainstorming ideas, plots, characterizations, to drafting, to editing, or whatever it is that you do when you write hehe, and maybe you can also share what part of the process you like the most and what you detest the most lololol, and also from where do you get insiprations from etcetc, litchrally anything you'd like to discuss related to writing fics !!
          
          i kNOW this is such a big ask, so you can def take your time babe, nww !! will always be here for you  LOL and, for the nth time, thank you sosooso muuchh !! love yaaa !! muagh

miaumooo

i never thought you'd reply so quickly omg, thank you for responding <33 will be noting all that you've said haha!   and i do agree that the best fanfics will always come from writers who enjoy what they actlly write !!
            
            and yes omgg, i would loovee to talk abt writing with you !! but i think i'd want to write some of my stuff first so i could also fill you in with my experiences HSHSHSH so far, i'm trying to write down as many ideas/characterizations/scenarios as i can that i'd love to write abtt, and i'm actlly having fun with it so i think that's a good sign hehe
            
            anw, thank you el for the advice !! i appreciate it sm

a lot of my inspiration is just my daydreaming LOL i am a hopeless romantic (so sad) and i just have a lot of ideas and scenarios i want to write. i know i repeat a lot of tropes and scenarios, but it makes me happy so i just write them :-)) small things i see irl, small ideas or small actions i want to fully flesh out, or even just a scenario or "issue" i want to explore—really anything serves as inspiration for me and it took me a while to feel confident in writing about these small things!
            
            i love talking about writing LMAO so you can add me on discord if you want!! my username's superswagela (just msg me ur wtpd user lol!!!!)

i don't entirely have a routine, but i typically plan all my stories out. i plan out the general plot line (important events, birthdays, practices, etc etc) as well as characters and backgrounds, and then just play it all by ear half the time LOL i've scrapped entire plans before because i decided to go a different direction. i usually just find the conflict i want to address and figure things out from there. of course this wasn't always how i did things, i just ended up doing it this way because i get tired of stories when i bound myself to a strict plan. i also make sure i create and write characters in a way that i enjoy (i often incorporate an OC because i get the chance to develop them fully hahaha and i experiment with the way canon characters are, not entirely bounding them to "tight" headcanons but keeping them fluid, i guess. i do this mostly because each story i write is it's own "universe" LOL but i think i write most canon characters consistently???). if you're planning to write for a y/n, keep it general lmfao and just base y/n off yourself (that's what i do most of the time hakdshshjddj). y/n is hard to write for and i was unfortunately writing during the time where readers would constantly say "i'd never do that!!!" and it was so tiring. i just ignore that stuff now and purely write in a way that's interesting to me whether i base y/n on a part of me or a part of someone or anyone in general that i want to explore. writing, most of the time, is a chance to explore situations you normally wouldn't have control over so it's kinda fun to put characters in situations where you can "experiment" LOL not sound like i have a god complex or whatever hahdkfhshdjfj

completely transparent btw
          
          but when you guys say "this is so funny" or "[character] is so funny," it boosts my ego terribly because LOL it's because IM funny. suna is funny because IM funny and honestly he's so welcome for that
          
          but then i also laugh at myself because how crazy is it to conceptualize that i am quite literally just having conversations with myself, typing it all out, then publishing it to the public eye. sure some of my stuff is always inspired by my own experiences and my own friends, but when suna responds to sakusa, at its very core, it's just me responding to me LOL??? you guys are literally just reading my daydreams that have been put into words and it's so???? funny to me??????? 
          
          BUT THEN that is quite literally what reading someone else's work IS. you're reading and experiencing a glimpse of their imagination and thought process. this is so metacognitive idk where it came from but i just needed to say it

@nxt_Chi it's fun to explore characters ya hahaha even i like to write them slightly different in separate stories. i think sometimes it gets hard to read certain characterizations though when you've got such a strong headcanon or concept of what a character is like
