First of all I wasn't sure if I should keep planning or just start writing. And she was like 'well, you wouldn't be here asking me what to
Ria says

do if you didn't already feel like it was time to start writing - you'd just be planning like you have been for months'
Ria says

and I was like, damn, Mum logic, always makes sense D:
Ria says

and then, just before going to 'bed' - i.e. to sit on my computer and write more, I said how difficult it is to write, and she was like

'don't stress about it - just act like you're the reader, you're just finding out what happens next. When I was writing my book it was so
Ria says

exciting, cause I was just getting surprised along with the reader, I'd finish a chapter and go 'oh! what happens next?' so just treat it
Ria says

like that' - and you know, it's actually really helped :/

i still worry about ugh, this dialogue is awful, and have moments of 'oh shit, this needs to happen' or 'that doesn't make sense'
Ria says

but it's so exciting letting my BBs tell me what happens :3
Ria says

and because i know vaguely what's coming up, i look forward to it, like 'ohhh, they're gonna meet Wavesong soon~'
Ria says

ALSO, when i let you read it, which will be soon but not yet, you have to PROMISE to just read it as if you know nothing about it or them
Ria says

and like you don't know that Saim is coming, or any of that
Ria says

Ria says

Ria says

like every day or two days
