@desgurlizfrie Heads up....I just now realized I uploaded the wrong version of "Something Almost Real." I updated it in my main after I wrote more of the later arc, but clearly forgot to update it in the wattpad drafts. So, you got to read the "1st ending" lol.  Lmk when you finish it before you move on to Isaac's chapter so I can update it! I think you'll be happier with how it actually went lol

@desgurlizfrie Lol I gotta check when I get into my office, but I think we have like 6-8 chapters total that will be dropped today. They're coming in waves, though, so there's some *suspense*  But you guys will end up with an entire arc by the end of the day!

@desgurlizfrie OMG, how to begin describing my writing style lollll Arguably, I spend a LOT of time in my head imagining conversations and "dialogue options." If there's source material (like Saku's videos), I think about how his characters often respond to things. In Isaac's case, he's very matter-of-fact in the beginning (eps 1-2), so anything I write (original or not) that's supposed to be BEFORE he gets a little warmer in ep 3 should follow that manner of speaking AND thinking. it was sooooo hard to keep him from being like "you're just a housekeeper" in speech and NOT contradict that with "omg, she's so pretty" in his head BEFORE i knew it was time for those feelings to actually develop, even knowing that he would eventually fall for Kaelyn. 
            
            the same was true for her! even tho *I* love Isaac, I knew it might be weird for her to immediately fall for him, especially given what we knew of "Pickle/Listener" at the time (no family, no friends, desperate situation, literally picked up off the street and waking up in a strange man's house).  i had to get in the headspace in someone who doesn't know that Saku is eventually making this a romantic series and think about how someone in her situation would really feel toward Isaac, especially since their original agreement was for this to be temporary AND completely professional on both ends. i came up with a lot of random interactions to figure out how she would sound when she first arrived (e.g. the vase breaking scene) vs when she was comfortable in the house/around Isaac and starting to lean more into her own personality (e.g. the chess game), so it would feel like she's also growing alongside his development.
            
            don't be afraid that it'll be "cringey," tho!! it feels that way at first, but as you keep writing, you'll start to feel more and more comfortable making up dialogues or internal monologues in their voices! a lot of writing is just playing around with the scenes and the characters. you've totally got this!!!!

I LIVE!!!!!!!!!! My full-time job has tried to make every effort to see that I'm not okay, but I am in fact okay! Trying to decide how many HITS chapters to drop today... 2 is the least that makes sense so you guys don't end on a cliff-hanger lol, but perhaps I should do 5 for the waiting?

desgurlizfrie

@jayuswrites how dare he talk about his super hot ex that im totally not cheating on him with (Im sorry issac andrew has me in a chokehold)  
            
            ALSO THE LORE AND ORIGINAL STORY AROUND KAYKAY IS SO MUCH FUN AND ITS SO TASTEFUL!!! I love her story with Wes and how much she needs to find him! Esp when she and issac promised to help her see him~~ NEXT SHIPMENT IS GINNA BE BIG IM SO ECSTATIC 
            
            Also fack u old ass lawyers, tell them their bald spots are showing when u finally drop their asses WEEEE!!! Im praying you the best best job and a better one, please dont get hurt over these fuuckers

jayuswrites

@desgurlizfrie lol that's why I ended up dropping two--they're a bit of a different tone than the others (which are about to get hella angsty, sorry you guys, but blame Isaac for talking about his ex for like 10 min. ) I will admit that I milk it for a little while, tho. But the good news is the next drop will be really big and then we're gonna get into some original stuff (WAY off the Isaac storyline lol)
            
            And thank you!!!!  Ironically, I work with lawyers (I'm around less-hot, more-angry, MUCH-older Isaac's every day lol) and they've had me working long hours and basically every day since late September, so I had to focus on other projects when I could. We're looking for a new (healthier) job, tho! Wishing everyone luck in this job market!!!
