We've honestly been busy, so it's taking us a while to really get this thing started 😅
Nevertheless, we are far from giving up on Milktea Fiction as a project! So we'll just be on hiatus for now.

I've mentioned this before, but I'm repeating it now because I forgot and chances are you will, too: remember that taking time to play games, watch movies or do something OTHER than work is a crucial part of a creative career.
The other thing is, the best way to grow is to do. That means actually sitting down & writing the thing you're scared of (it's big/intimidating/you're still burned from last time). If you're worried you don't have the skills to pull it off... there's only one way to acquire them.
Sometimes stories sit in your head for ages before they become the shape they need to be. This can be frustrating, but if it’s the right story it’ll get there eventually.
So, look. Writing is hard shit. I get why me saying 'please keep writing, someone needs your work' can elicit rolled eyes and like, grumping. I would never tell anyone to keep doing this if there's some other alternative that makes you equally happy. (Rilke has said this better.)
PSA: it might be hard to believe but someone somewhere (sometime) out there is holding their breath for your story; it fits like a puzzle piece into their jigsaw heart. So please write it ✨
Here is a Twitter thread on my writing-related Twitter threads, for easier access. I hope some of this is helpful! Cheering you on. 🌺✍️✨💖

Meg’s tears stopped as abruptly as they had started. "But I do understand." She felt tired and unexpectedly peaceful.
Mrs Which’s voice was grave. “Wwhatt ddoo yyou unndderrsstanndd?”
“That it has to be me. It can’t be anyone else."

I had this story I wanted to write. I thought it was cool but I also was really afraid that it was utter bullshit, & too weird, & too dark, & bc of that I almost didn’t write it
