Last week I shared some snippets that I wrote during Camp NaNo. As I said back then: I have more! The post was getting a bit too long and considering one of the snippets left is quite long, it was better to split it into two posts. So here we are!
Yong-sun An is worried about a lot of things, but at the top of his list? The future. Worried his anxiety will get in the way of everything he does, he has no clue what heโll do after graduation. If he even graduates. Because thatโs another thing he worries about. Not that his grades are bad, far from it, but one time itโs bound to go wrong, right?
Meanwhile, his not-best friend (except he is his best friend) Drew suddenly starts to act weird. Yong-sun has no idea how to help, but he has a feeling that it has to do with the mysterious text messages Drew has been getting.
Wow it’s Valentine’s Day what a coincidence asjbdgh
I stopped writing once I got to the confession scene because 1) I won Camp NaNo 2) I’m an awkward bean and so is Yong-sun and I feel everything he’s feeling adbjsh
Hey look it’s me
So the 20k words I wrote during Camp NaNo have a lot of great scenes of Yong-sun’s Dad and?? I love this dork?? Why is he barely present in the earlier parts
Did I mention I love him
I’m super insecure about this paragraph for multiple reasons, one being that it’s personal and it doesn’t feel good enough and the other being that I’m afraid it excludes non-binary people, but I don’t know how to change it?? Help???
Also I changed the actual name to [someone] because spoilers but you can probably guess who it isย ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
I really hope there aren’t any typos in these bjshd I was too afraid to check because I’m lazy dsfh If there’s a major error please point it out though because English isn’t my first language so I might not catch it once I reread my draft (don’t worry about being rude I would love you for it). Anyways hope you enjoyed these. Look it’s not all memes!!

How’s your writing going? What are you working on? Do you share snippets of your writing on your blog/anywhere on the internet? Let me know in the comments!
Best of luck with your WIP! Your dialogues sound very organic and it seems like something I’d definitely check out :)
Ahhh thank you so much!! โค๏ธ That means a lot :)
I love reading snippets of your WIP SO FREAKING MUCH!!! I hope you continue writing, even if it is extremely personal. I also understand the worry of excluding something and maybe hurting people in the process, but I think you are doing great. You cannot include everything, it’s not possible and I don’t think that anyone would believe it was your intention to exclude non-binary people on purpose. Maybe you will find a way to rewrite the scene, but maybe that particular scene also doesn’t need it? I don’t know either :/
THANK YOU SO MUCH KAT โค๏ธ๐ญ I definitely will, though I haven’t really had much time and energy yet. I need to really start planning and organising better, but I’m on my period now so there’s no point in that lol since my productivity is always very low during that time
Thank you so much Kat, that makes me feel better โค๏ธ I’m going to leave it as it is now and just continue writing, and then look at it again once I’m done :)
There’s no rush! I am like the slowest of all sloths when it comes to working on my own WIPs, so take your time. I think as long as it’s at the back of your mind, it’s very unlikely you’ll abandon it altogether.
That’s very true thank you! I guess it’s more that I’m annoyed at myself that I’ve been working on it for three years now ๐
I definitely get that! I think it’s been two years of Arcadia as well for me, so I can relate.
OH MY GOD I LOVE YONG-SUN’S DAD. mehmehs?? daring his son to throw popcorn in his wife’s mouth?? ICONIC
SAME LIKE WHY DID I BARELY GIVE HIM ANY TIME TO SHINE IN THE FIRST HALF??? I’M SO UPSET AT MYSELF HE’S GOING TO SHINE SO MUCH MORE IN MY NEXT ROUND OF EDITS
Hahahahaha oh my god I love Yong-Sun’s dad SO much, these excerpts are so much fun to read, especially the one with the popcorn that made me laugh so much hahaha :)
Ahhh thank you so much Marie! โค๏ธ it always makes me so happy when people enjoy my ‘funnier’ scenes because I always worry I’m the only one with my sense of humour lol
Haha you’re not at all, that made me laugh a lot hahhaa
I’m a new follower, and I just first of all wanted to say hi! And second of all, your writing voice is really strong, and the emotion is raw. Also, his dad is precious! Congrats on writing so much during Camp NaNo, and thanks for sharing these snippets. :)
Ahhh thank you so much that means a lot โค๏ธ (also hi!!)

Love his dad! โค๏ธ Sometimes we canโt get to know our parents until we grow up a little. You did that well here. Keep up the good work.
Ahhh thank you so much โค๏ธ
Ahhh I love his dad and how well you write dialogue :D
And I think all I noticed was that Snicker should have an “s” at the end (Snickers) if it’s the chocolate! Which is my fave btw when I can’t get my hands on a Cadbury Crunchie. <3 <3
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much โค๏ธ
Oh woops itโs indeed supposed to be Snickers haha. Thank you for catching that! I donโt think Iโve ever had Cadbury Crunchie, but I love Cadbury and crunchy chocolatey snacks so it sounds delicious!
Yong-Sun’s dad is the goofy dad we all deserve!
Aww thank you!! It makes me so happy that I’m not the only one who loves him haha
