Hey it’s me again, final exam anon! :DI’m sure even in your confused state, you probably wrote an amazing chapter(s). But of course, if you are not satisfied with them, best way is to wait and look at it with a calm mind. :) Actually, after I read your reply, I want you to know that you are one of my favorite writers out there. I’m interested in writing and studying literature and sometimes you write so good that I found myself in awe. How can she dance with words this beautifully? (1)

(ask continued)

How is she never exaggerate anything? How can her words has this healing effect? As if writing is a big puzzle and you always find the right pieces to complete it! I like easy-reading fanfics too, they are bubble gum but sooo enjoyable. I love and respect them. But yours are in a different level, strong, inspiring and make me want to read them so many times. I remember after reading your “What the Storm Brought In” I had a strong urge to draw something for that beautiful work! 

I’ve been staring at this ask for about fifteen minutes. 
Okay, twenty minutes now, since I finally typed that first sentence. 
There’s something about putting yourself out there as a creator of something. Big, small, whatever. I…I mostly do it for the fun of it, truly. It brings me joy to see the words pour out in a torrent, and it makes me happy to see others enjoy them as well. 
I want to articulate so much how impactful it is to hear someone say that I have inspired them. I keep rewriting my reply and I’m not finding the words (isn’t that ironic?) But I can tell you that although I do write for the joy and fun I glean from it, it is also so scary. A little bit of me is in each chapter. Parts I hide and keep safe inside are out there raw and naked for people to see and sometimes they are beautiful and sometimes they are ugly and sometimes they are silly or immature or whatever but they are me as much as they are not. 

So when someone tells me, once in a blue moon that I managed by some miracle to inspire them with something I created-
Inspired them as I have been inspired by other much more talented skilled creators than myself I… okay, I can’t even articulate how incredibly happy that makes me. I may be bawling a bit- just a bit- not gross sobbing just, I’m happy. really truly happy and I appreciate that you would share that -so- much. Thank you. 

I honestly have some of the most lovely people reading my work. Lovely, kind people who are willing to articulate their appreciation and hesitations with my little stories and that means a lot to me. So much. 

Argh, Okay. I’m gonna stop before I do in fact start the gross sobbing, haha! 

much, much love

Hi, Inky!<3 I just want to ask that how is it going with the chapter 15? :) I love your stories, they are beautiful, cozy, real, heart-warming, slice of life-ish! Actually right now, your Switcharoo is my only joy in my final exams life! :D I wish my English were more good than that so I could express my love for your talent!!! (^^;) Btw, I also have a recommd. for you: If you havent watch yet, you should watch and read Natsuyuki Rendezvous! Your style and Haruka sensei's are very similiar. <3

Hiyo dear one! 
Thank you so much for your message and I am so happy I can be a joy in any way! Exam season is no picnic, I remember those stressful days so if I’m even a little helpful I’m so very very glad. 

I have a confession to make. I have written the chapter several times. It has gone from 6k to 10k to 15k respectively and I have to admit to you that I am incredibly unhappy with all these versions. There’s something about the plot that is complicated for me. I don’t know why but my brain is very confused with the whole time travel god bit and I may be overthinking it. 

I have taken today and tomorrow to just let it sit and will look at the chapter anew with the the hopes that fresh eyes will show me where I have wrong or that one of the versions I wrote is the correct one. 

I’m so incredibly thankful that you bothered to send me a message, it means a lot and don’t worry a bit about your english, I understand it all perfectly 🙂 

I will be checking out your recommendation! I’m kind of freaking out that someone would compare my silly bit of work on the side to someone professional and I’m a blushy mess right now which is kind of a nice thing to be:) thank you so much again! 

Much, much love 
Inky
