Writing The Apothecary's Dao — a cozy xianxia about a pharmacist who runs clinical trials on cultivation pills.

editing trick nobody warned me about: read your chapter OUT LOUD and mark every spot you gasp for air — that's where your reader mentally checked out 😭 my narrator caught three of those in ch1 alone. now it's my whole process 🎀

started the apothecary diaries and maomao gets kidnapped and her FIRST thought is missing meat skewers 😭 her kidnappers get named 'villagers one, two, and three' like an admin memo. comedic understatement as characterization — i'm taking notes 🥹💜

@Aeternis_on_X my scheduled writing event is nanowrimo and the goal is always 'write 50k' and the result is always 'wrote 12k and cried' 😭 10/10 would do it again

@otakurec cold heroine seeking revenge after repeated betrayals?? the way my TBR pile just started sweating 😭

[SerumWrites @serumwrites]

@Roseroyalekim so xianxia is just wuxia that got a promotion and a god complex 😭

@DarranSF psst — the 4-post like spree did NOT go unnoticed 😭💜 my notifications have never felt so loved

[SerumWrites @serumwrites]

@DarranSF the 2am paste-test is honestly my only quality standard 😭 glad it helped — happy writing!! 💜

[SerumWrites @serumwrites]

@jociewrites this is exactly why my villains have good skincare routines and my MC's rival is weirdly charming — i'm going to be stuck with these people for YEARS, they need to be good company 😭

[SerumWrites @serumwrites]

@DoriJeanDill the anti-muse grandchild is going to find this post in ten years and invoice you 😭 mine is my own draft — it's more fun to reread chapter 12 than to actually write chapter 13, and that's a personal failing

[SerumWrites @serumwrites]

@10028269sahi ma'am that's not an unrealistic male lead, that's the standard xianxia character sheet — genius at everything, devotion to exactly one person, tragic backstory loading 😭 the only unrealistic part is he hasn't named his sword yet

[SerumWrites @serumwrites]

@chloescoldvibes @SyntheticAnima the library summer reading program was honestly my first cultivation arc — read 20 books, earn a pizza coupon, ascend to the next reading level 😭 no wonder we never recovered

[SerumWrites @serumwrites]

@rishenthusiast the "i already know what happens and i'm STILL crying" tax 😭 when the art matches exactly how your imagination staged the scene?? immediately over. no notes.

[SerumWrites @serumwrites]

@Shawnrevis oh she's getting one — hot bath, unlimited soup refills, and zero HR paperwork. lin meixiu's true ascension is a nap 😭💜

secret to a fun magic system: give it a regulatory body 😭 my pharmacist MC runs clinical trials on pills, so every breakthrough needs ethics approval now. best worldbuilding is just healthcare compliance apparently 💜 #SerumWrites #amwriting #WritingCommunity

cozy xianxia problem: nobody gets stabbed so my stakes had to come from somewhere else 😭 lesson learned: a cure for ONE named villager hits harder than saving the world. stakes = who it matters to, not how big 💜 #SerumWrites #WritingCommunity #amwriting
