the heart's reasons seen clearly (3/7?)

[lirazel]

I FINALLY FINISHED CHAPTER 4. So I'm giving myself permission to publish chapter 3. Gosh, that was awful, not writing for like two weeks, but I am finally back to being obsessed with my own story, which is a great feeling. I need to sit down and make some Wen Qing and Jiang Yanli icons.

Summary:
For all she has always thought of herself primarily as a healer, lately Wen Qing feels like she never actually heals anyone. Everything is palliative care. Everything is triage.

Jiang Yanli goes with her brothers to Nightless City. Wen Qing finds herself making choices she never thought she’d make.

Oh my God, I have. . .learned things about writing/publishing in chapters.*commiserates*

Can't wait to read more!

[lirazel]

IT'S HARD. I feel like I still haven't figured it out yet.

[likeadeuce]

I'm definitely discovering things I wouldn't have if I'd written it all at once (and also honestly if I hadn't posted by now I might have given up) but it's still nervewracking !!

[lirazel]

Yeah, I am developing new sympathy for, like, Dickens. At least it's only fanfic?

[likeadeuce]

I mean I have definitely ONLY gotten nice reactions/ ppl happy to see an update so the stress is coming from inside the house.

[lirazel]

Oh, yeah, I'm definitely putting the pressure on myself, too.

Yes, well done!!
