v!

hi friends!  i rarely come on wattpad anymore, but i thought it was worth posting to announce that i actually won camp nano (nanowrimo but for july)!  i just passed my goal of 60k!
          
          i've always struggled to write regularly and stick to a writing schedule, so it's been so fulfilling to be able to succeed at a goal i set for myself.  it's crazy to think that i wrote 60k in the span of a month.  even more crazy to see that my current project recently surpassed 150k and is well on its way to the end -- i've never finished a story before, and never gotten past the first half.  i've been learning so much by writing regularly and pushing myself every day.
          
          at risk of sounding like an actor accepting an award at the oscars, thanks for your support.  i know i'm quite inactive, but everyone who's supported me thus far has enabled me to get to this point, where i can accomplish things that wouldn't have been possible for me before.  thank you :)

WRITING/LIFE UPDATE:
          
          - i've developed a writing schedule, which is 2k words per day.  pretty crazy for someone who's never been able to write regularly.  i'm currently writing an extremely self-indulgent fic that's about 80k words only halfway done.  it's been nice.  i started it in may and hope to finish by august.
          
          - i finally have to time to read!  i'm of the belief that you can't write well without reading well, so i've taken the time to immerse myself in fantasy again.  brandon sanderson's mistborn trilogy has been a wild ride, and i'm currently reading the last book, the hero of ages.  i'd highly recommend it for anyone wanting to write fantasy, especially if you're trying to develop a unique magic system.
          
          - i still don't know if i'll post any of my new works on wattpad.  i'm becoming increasingly protective over my writing, and i find that posting online when i'm not completely done with something tends to just complicate things.  but i don't want to disappear entirely, hence this update :)
          
          let me know how you're doing!  i'd love to reconnect with many of you.

thank you for 25k reads on godf!  it's truly amazing to still be collecting reads and comments, albeit slowly, on a story that has been abandoned for about one and a half years now.  i haven't been active on wattpad at all but i miss posting weekly and i'm indebted to everyone who continues to support me :))

it's november 1st and we all know what that means!
          
          this year's nano really snuck up on me but i just set up my profile on the updated site.  i'd love to connect with some of you if you're participating as well!
          
          today's update: i did not write anything for my stories, but i did write 1767 words for my english essay which i started and finished today so there's that.  i'm tired and the week's ending so i'm not going to write any actual words but i hope you're all doing better than my shabby start :)

I love your writing and profile !! 

you know that feeling when you feel like writing lotr fanfiction and you try to quell the urge because legolas isn't even that interesting but you can't and now you have a document on your hands with more than 70k words that's still going strong and it's both a legomance, a tenth walker, and a girl-falls-into-middle-earth fanfic (the three most overused tropes) and you don't know what to do?
          
          (and by you i mean me?  literally what now)

Happy birthday!!

i keep thinking that people are actually mentioning me in their message feeds and them i go to read the message and i'm like oh nevermind wattpad just wants me to read it but i'm not that popular :)

if you are remotely interested in what i'm doing these days, here's an update!
          
          i'm on spring break this week, and have been in a race to catch up with school and studying and in general get my life under control for the time being.  it's really hectic but i'm also on a writing high (!!)...so the bad news is that i'm getting almost no sleep but the good news is that i'm being really productive!
          
          i've moved on from my k-pop obsession and have jumped into the tolkien fandom on tumblr, where i am currently most often residing.  i have a newfound obsession with the walking dead and bbc sherlock.
          
          and i'm making some big moves on my original writing project.  i'm very hesitant to say anything but for now i will say that the main character is an asian girl, which i'm very excited about because it's about time there's a main character that looks like me.  (which is kind of self insert-y but at this point i really don't care because asians need to be represented.)  it's a high fantasy and i'm daydreaming about it a lot :)  i'm going to keep my mouth shut after that.
          
          so...that's how life is for me.  if you were wondering :)

HELLO BELOVED FRIENDS!
          
          i haven't been on wattpad in such a long time and it makes me so sad.  i used to spend hours on here every day and suddenly so many things happened and i stopped writing godf, left tff, and stopped interacting with everyone on here.  i have writing in the works but i'm not even sure if i want to post it on wattpad.  i miss the people and the books and the writing and the interactions, and i feel so bad that i neglected all my friendships and things on here.  i'm sorry for being neglectful.
          
          but regardless, i miss this place, and i miss all the people i made connections with.  please say hello!  i would love to reconnect with all of you (and make new friends!) <33 let me know how you're doing.
          
          [ also, please be patient with me responding.  i don't habitually check wattpad anymore, unfortunately.  hopefully i'll start up again.  i've become more active on tumblr @ rhovanian if you wanted to know. ]
          
          thank you.  i love all of you very much for being unbelievably patient and supporting to me when i don't deserve any of it.  i'm not very good at being consistent but i'm going to try and establish more of a presence on here.  thank you for sticking by me <3
