I wanted this story to be mostly funny and feel-good. I feel super accomplished to know I made people laugh or at least smile.
I do write on instinct. I can't over-think it too much. I'm re-reading the first chapters and yes, there's a slightly different flow to it. I can't pinpoint what or why. Perhaps because it started very descriptive and evolved to incorporate a lot more dialogue? Like you mentioned before, I cheat with the viewpoint, and in a story initially intended to be only from Junsu's eyes, but it's just for a few tiny bits. Eh. It's still easier for me to use the omniscient narrator and give glimpses into whichever character I want to at a given moment. Marking spoken speech according to the widely used "blabla" was very weird for me at first. I was very used to see and use [ - ]. Getting slowly better at it. Still need to remember to use italic for thoughts.
Oh, just went to check and this 7 chapter story was written spread over 3 years!!! I started it in 2014! Uau! I've been posting stories for 2 years and half now. How time flies!
