Life studies was considerably worse at that than any other rp I've stuck with.

I mostly read doujinshi and lately I've been reading comics as opposed to manga, but I read some every now and then still. Rarely feel the need to finish them.

really?

i've moved back to reading just novels and fics and not reading anything that has to do with pictures and words

Yeah. I keep plot moving along and pace things well and know stuff about my characters in time to reveal it well.

I need to read more novels. Pictures are easier to read and easy to find.

lol yes. well we both decided to throw william and gary in before we even knew them so that was part of it.

lol. i need to try and balance out the novel and fanfic reading but so far i've done a poor job of that

Yeah, but my good rps tend to read a lot more clear these days. There's not a lot of wandering because I don't allow too much of it.

It's hard.

lol makes sense i guess. but again i say. we both through gary and william in pretty much the moment we had ideas of them. like i remember trying to get info out of you on william and you being just like 'i don' know yet!' as we were writing.

it really is. especially since novels can kinda be all the same sometimes

Yeah and that would never happen now.

They really can especially if you're reading romance.

lol probably not. but it worked out for us in the end. and it was an interesting way to get into characters. i'd certainly never really done anything like it before.

yep. which gets even more annoying

I'm just so much better of a writer now. It worked out for sure even if sometimes it was like pulling teeth to get something to happen because we kept not having plans...

I keep trying to read romance novels, but never succeed.

hahah yeah. though i still say there's something to be said for that very organic style of writing. yeah it can be frustrating and a bit boring. but you learn about yourself as a writer and you learn about your characters.

hahah yeah. i do too. i think the last romance novel i read successfully was tfios

I guess my organic is more successful or something because it's not like I overtly plan or anything. It just stalls out less.

I read that dragon lovers book you lent me.

i guess. i don't know. i can't say i regret or find too much issues with how life studies went. we both grew a ton as writers because of it

haha that was a while ago though (not that me reading tfios wasn't....shhhh)

I probably have more issues than you but it's not like I dislike it.

Yep.

lol i guess. i just think that if we hadn't done that then you may not be better at avoiding it now.

so big bang are apparently also doing a music video for the other song on the album called Bae Bae and it's rated 19+ cuz it's sexual

I don't really know.

how interesting. o.O

lol. it's all part of the process of growing as a writer

i know. i'm just like urgh. i need it to be may first. or really like tomorrow afternoon cuz they're probably gonna release it at midnight korean time.

But with all the writing I do, it's hard to attribute it to anything specific.

haha. I just wonder how sexual it is.

lol yes but it's all part of it.

same. i think i say a clip of it in a gif set from their concert but not sure.

It's almost time for you to see it. Tomorrow you said?

yeah. i mean technically it's may first but korea being 14 hours ahead of us is actually pretty helpful here

Yeah, I got that. For once time zones be helpful.

hahahah yep. for once. every now and then they are.

So long as you're not trying to talk to someone over there.

hahaha yeah cuz that makes things very difficult. cuz time differences that big there's really very little time for you to both be reasonably awake

Yeah. I used to talk to someone over there and there's the few Australian people I know.
