i have never successfully articulated anything ever but i got very close, once
here is a twitter thread and constantly updating, currently active google doc that contains the gofundmes, paypals, cashapps, etc of victims of anti-asian hate crimes, asian-owned small businesses, and asians who need financial aid. please consider donating & boosting and adding more donation links if you have them.
I will answer questions about:
Characters
Plotting
POV
Setting
Tropes
Fanfiction
Genres
Getting Started
And more!!!!
I will NOT answer questions about:
Things that are already on this list
The publishing/editing industry (primarily because I’m unqualified)
Children’s fiction and Nonfiction (Same reason as above)
Hyper-specific details of your WIP; I can’t tell you how to write your own story.
“Does ____ sound like a good idea?”
Anything that can be figured out with a quick Google search (i.e. how fast can cheetahs run, how long does it take to get a license, etc.)
Asking me to reblog your post, give you a shout-out, etc. This blog is just for writing content only and will remain ad-free.
Asking me to read/edit your story. I’m a college student with a very busy life who also has her own writing projects to worry about, and cannot put time aside to edit someone’s work for free. However, if you do send a message perhaps we can discuss pricing if I have the time.
Sorry, but I am quite rigid about these rules!
This is just a compilation of the questions I get a lot or I think I answered pretty well, so if you need anything else feel free to check out my #answering asks tag!
I’ve also included some posts from other blogs/sources as well because I feel as though they can explain it much better than I ever could!

I’m currently working on a novel titled Wings of Faith, and often post content such as art, aesthetics, and writing updates!
Summary:
A one-winged angel must team up with a ragtag band of demons to escape from Hell. Haloes and harps must go on the backburner if it means clawing his way out of the fire, and if the world burns to ashes in his wake, so be it…because let’s be honest here: Hell’s humidity got old after, like, a day.
You can find all my Wings of Faith content under #wings of faith and #wof on my blog, (if you’re looking for progress reports, check #writing update) and feel free to check out @wiingsoffaith, a blog run by my bestest friend and fabulous beta reader @gettinhellaturnt.
no matter how terrible everything gets i will always have sitting on the bathroom floor
“if you’re ever lucky enough to have dreams about someone, and wake up right next to them, then you’ll know how i’ve felt the past week or so. with you i don’t have to be anybody. my name is just “yours.” i am stuck in a song. we are just sharks and butterflies. vicious and fragile. my neck isn’t the same without you gnawing at it.”
