What is your writing process like? Drafts, timeline, revisions?

hi hi!

so, i say this often, but i let the characters talk to me skjdfhsdfs like, ofc im the one writing, but they exist in my head, and after a while they take a life of their own, so i wait until they talk to me. tennis minho from love all was a yapper. got me writing 290k in six months haha that was certainly a time in my life.

jisung from records of you and me also talked a lot, and im grateful!! but minho from package deal was a bit more stubborn. and minho from sunshine and heavy rain just stops talking to me at times ksjdhfdsj you know what they say about people similar to us. i wish he knew that the compassion i show him is the same i wish had been extended to me a few years back. he will get it when he starts healing. right now we are in a quiet argument; i know it sounds crazy haha

i don't really have drafts! i just have one document for a chapter/one shot (rarity) and go with it! i write linear, so, for example: i knew exactly how chapter 16 of love all would go, but i couldn't write it until i got to it bc even though i know the destination, i don't know the route the character will take to get there (not entirely).

i do have small outlines, so i try to update as i go, but i doesn't always work, especially for shorter (my definition of short alright hahah) fics. but for long ones (love all, records of you and me, sunshine and heavy rain) i have to constantly check what went where so as not to mess with the continuity!

im not very good at reviewing or double checking things jksdfsdghjfs that is pretty obvious with how many typos i have everywhere. but i always read it once after posting it, and then edit it on ao3 if there is anything that i catch!

im a bit of a mess, but it works hahah i think!
