⏾ 007: A little update

[visualjyushi]

I have failed to finish my fic by the due date I set for myself. But, I know myself, so I expected this lmfao. I'm now giving myself a deadline of finishing it by the end of the month, because if I don't finish it now, I probably never will. My issue is that I keep getting nervous because I've never written these characters before, and I'm a little afraid of being perceived. It's really not that serious, but I have a terrible habit of overthinking literally everything. I also just got done writing a lab report, so I feel like I kinda forgot how to write for fun. My writing is stiffer, and I have to remind myself that it's fiction! I can do whatever I want!!

Although I've been kinda struggling, I am writing more often than usual. I like that, because I like writing, and I hate when I forget writing is fun and enjoyable. That's the whole point!

Writing aside, I'm getting excited about going to see the FFVII Rebirth Orchestra next month. Since I clearly hate myself (sarcasm), I wanted to cosplay Cloud for it. I have successfully styled a Prompto wig before... surely I can style a Cloud wig without it looking like a hot mess... hopefully. My partner also loves Aerith and wants to cosplay her with me. I have to alter the dress though; it's a teeny bit tight on him. I think I can just add some plain white fabric in the back of the dress, which will be mostly hidden by the red jacket. I only know how to hand sew, so wish me luck that it actually looks the way I want it to LOL. My partner has also not yet played the game, so he's gonna get some spoilers. I warned him about this already, but will he play the game? Probably not. (I think I've told him what happens to Aerith, but I don't know if he remembers...)

So relatable orz and what I am making myself re-learn, too!

Thank you! I have thankfully (somewhat) overcome the overthinking. I hope things have been working out for you too.

You know what you need to do, so keep on it! I'm wishing you all the best luck with your writing (and the cosplaying). May the creativity muses bless us all, we need it, ah.

Thank you! Sending positive creative energy your way!

Ooh I hope you have fun at the FFVII concert, that's awesome. Hopefully you can put together a successful cosplay for it. :D

I've been trying to branch out writing fic for new fandoms too, it's hard!! Sometimes you just gotta stop thinking about it and let it turn out how it turns out...which is also hard haha.

It is sooo hard. I don't know why, but I feel like I gotta marinate characters in my brain for a long time before writing them.
