rereading my works here again and again.
i keep asking myself, how did I do that?
how come it was so easy back then?
was it really because of poodgawin?
and now that i "don't" have them i can't write anymore?
:(
my writing app annual report has come out.
in 2025, i only managed to write 70K words,
when i used to write 10K words in one or two days.
writing (input) time is 9 hours,
but the app foreground (active) time is 59 hours.
means, in those 50 hours, i just stared at the screen, not typing anything.
:(
how come writing a sentence now feels so hard?
sometimes i can't even find the word that i desperately want to use in my head.
i miss writing so much.
i miss those feelings of achievement when i can publish a chapter.
i miss reading and interacting in the comments.
i miss the white knight's sun.
:(

@thewhiteknights_sun Indeed! That’s a bad habit, lol. There's a saying: "Comparison is the thief of joy." Just try for a moment to forget about writing and enjoy the book you're reading, get lost in the story, ya know. Once you get the hang of it you can write again instead of forcing yourself to write. I tried that, and the writing turned out to be bad cuz you get the feeling of “I must publish, must finish,” and then you realize it doesn’t feel right, and you don’t like what you've written, so you start all over again. I made a promise to myself to finish my books, even if no one reads them lol. I really wanna give my characters a HEA ending. Good luck, Rain, you're going to do amazing!

@Rileyaksnes you're right. I honestly thought that reading is the only way to improve myself too. But my bad trait when reading ppl's works is i always end up comparing myself to the writer or feeling that l'm wasting my time when I can use it to write instead. Lol so frustrating i don't know what to do with myself Anyway, yes, once again & as always, thank you for the encouragement hun. I promise to you and (ofc) myself that I'II finish something before this year ended. Hahaha wish me luck xD

@thewhiteknights_sun I think it’s completely normal to procrastinate or feel scared about getting back into writing. When you haven’t written in a while, you can feel rusty, but once you start, everything usually falls back into place. I can only speak from my own experience I grew up speaking English, but it’s not my native language either, so we definitely have that in common. What helps me with continuing writing is reading, even though I haven’t been reading much lately. I’ve been in a reading slump, but hopefully that changes soon lol. I’m really excited for you, though! It’s great that you’ve found other couples who are inspiring your writing again. I can’t wait to see what you’ve been cooking for us, and I’m especially excited to read about our boys again. I totally get what you mean about Wattpad feeling like home. I'm rooting for you Rain!

@Rileyaksnes that's awesome. Congrats on being able to put out a satisfactory end for your book. I envy you hahah I'll definitely try that, writing something new n different. I hope i can overcome this too like you. You even draw your own cover? wow I can't wait to see that book now >_< i don't use discord hun, only IG n X which i barely touch as well lol
Rileyaksnes
Happy New Year Rain!!! Just keeping the tradition ❤️ May this year gives you joy.
thewhiteknights_sun
@Rileyaksnes yeah, i can't see my reply either. It was here the last time I logged in though pfftt I'll definitely try that. Thanks hun. And yes, let's at least keep in touch here <3
Rileyaksnes
@thewhiteknights_sun It’s so weird. I received an email stating your reply, but it’s not showing on the board which is not surprising lol. Anyway thanks hun for your lovely encouragement…yeah just give your self space and hopefully your characters will talk to you. It’s ok I don’t use either platform, but we still can chat here.
Rileyaksnes
@thewhiteknights_sun Hey, hun; sorry for the late reply. WP glitches are bad. The whole getting constantly signed out is annoying, but they don’t want to fix the issues. Honestly, it’s a shame they got rid of DMs. Yeah, I moved to Inkitt with my friends there. You could give it a shot. I haven’t yet uploaded any book; I’m determined to finish it first and see. I even drew my own cover. I don’t believe you can lose your touch in writing; maybe you need to write something new and fresh. Give your book some time, and your characters will speak to you. Just a while ago, I got to write the perfect ending for my weakness, and I’m satisfied with it. Just trust the process. Also, hun let me know if you use Discord? We can chat privately there.

Hi, pockeys~
I know it's been centuries since I updated LMI & I feel really bad about it. It's just come to me that writing a final chapter, a closure to a book is really one of the hardest things that I ever done in my life. When I started this book, it was really just for fangirling purpose. But it gets so much love from you guys & I can't help but take things more serious for it. I don't want to just write anything & throw a chapter only so I can have an update. That's just unacceptable.
I just want to let you guys know that I'm not abandoning this book and I am trying my best to add piece by piece of my mind into the last chapter's draft everyday, like, literally. And I hope those pieces will turn into a fully satisfying and presentable 'last' chapter soon.
So, until then I hope you guys will still be there.
That, if there's anyone who's actually waiting for it.
Nyiahahahahhh. Bye loves~
- rain ^^v

@thewhiteknights_sun hahaha not to worry I got it the first day u sent it. Thank u so much I really wanted it ur such a sweetheart ❤️
thewhiteknights_sun
greetings loves~
well, IDK if anyone would ever waste their time to read this but-
just in case,
in case i still have those lovely people who are waiting for my updates can i ask u guys something?
these days, i really can't write so much for both LMI & Paradox. I know it's been months, but i don't want to throw an update just because i feel like I have to. it will ruin the whole chapter, really.
yet. despite being stuck & can't brainstorm more for LMI or Paradox at the moment, there were times when ideas popped in my head, but they are not for the ongoing fics. They are either for a short fic, a oneshot, or even a whole new different book.
And once the idea came, i couldn't stop typing. It poured out like a broken faucet
(Stop beating the bush, rain! so what is it???!!!)
okay, so.. what i want to ask is...
will u guys mind if i upload these other stories i have?
I mean, i kinda have this idea that some of u may will say "nooo how come instead of updating the ongoing ones, u post a different one instead? That's not fair for us who wait!"
really...
I've been having this scary idea lately I'm afraid I'll disappoint some of u
Anes83
@thewhiteknights_sun i miss ur stories...it doesnt matter if u want to write the new ones...i'll read it...
thewhiteknights_sun
I'm currently working on SunMork's full cut from DBK and some other subbing projects that have been pushed for months, so... sadly, maybe I can't update anything again within this month. I'm really sorry for those who wait. But I'll try to update asap >•<v
thewhiteknights_sun
what is writer's block?
is that something you can kill with bugs repellant ?
