I'd forgotten how much I used to enjoy writing haiku in class, and now I've rediscovered the simplicity and sincerity in this poetic style๐ŸŒธ

Last night, I quickly reviewed how to #write a haiku & ended up writing several romantic #haiku for a visual novel game ๐Ÿ˜‚

Midnight blue strands flow
Ocean eyes of hidden love
Together at last

Sometimes, itโ€™s time to let go of the past. In this new chapter, our heroine finds that forging a future can mean saying goodbye to othersโ€ฆor cutting ties.

I'm currently finishing up an Asian romance-fantasy series that centers on reincarnation, only to turn around...and write an enemies-to-lovers series in the same genre ๐Ÿ˜‚ Editing always causes me pain & makes me question my knowledge in grammar as I try to cut down parts.

I made some progress, finishing up 1.1 chapters. I love it when I can do a quick reveal before amping up the stakes. Though I'm excited about completing the next chapter, I'm not emotionally ready for the upcoming arc ๐Ÿฅฒ I'm not ready for the pain...

Have you ever gotten to the point of a story or book...where you're not excited to write out a particular scene but you need it to transition into a very important one...and now, you've written it out--and you can finally breathe ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ?
