It’s almost a month since I last updated or even wrote anything for Y+M=I. I didn’t intend to leave it that long, but circumstances proved otherwise. When I started it, all the feels and ideas were at its peak. Time, however, wasn’t in my favor. I wrote it in the midst of my hectic schedule just because I hated the nagging feeling of not being able to put the ideas into writing.

So much has happened recently that this was put on the backburner. Then the Yongseo Fanfic Project came, and though I did not plan on joining it, it just happened spontaneously. I said I’d write a one-shot based on the prompts for the double birthday celebration. As it usually happens (aka, Broken Hearted Arrow, Nice Guy --> except this was a 3-shot), the one-shot became a chaptered fic. The supposed to be distraction took away all of my attention that was supposed to be for YMI.

YMI is a huge experiment for me. I took a completely different approach in writing it. I wrote per scene, instead of per chapter. I keep those snippets in 3 mediums: laptop, notebook (old school way of writing), and my phone. It’s all over the place and though I find it hard to combine it to make a decent chapter, a positive side would be, at least, it preserved the emotions/feelings I had when I wrote a particular scene.

Next, I use just 2 words for each chapter title and it’s proving to be a challenge to be able to summarize it in just those words (aka, The Chance, The Bet, etc). I also use an alternating style of point of view and only feature one per chapter. There are a lot of questions and ‘mysteries’ raised from the first two chapters alone (and I think some of you figured out a few) and I still have to work on how to write that without it being so obvious, but at the same time it is. Lol, that was confusing.

I do not want to make this a long-chaptered fic. I’m trying my best to speed up the progress without it seeming rushed. I’ve got the ending figured out, but the falling in love process (which is like, the most important part) remains to be written. It's sad because I somehow lost the inspiration needed to complete this fic. I've been battling writer's block for a couple of weeks regarding this story.

Anyway, needless to say, I won’t abandon or delete this no matter how tempting that option was. I posted this on AFF and I’m determined to complete it when the ideas and feel for it fall into place. But keep in mind that I won’t be updating this until The Very Last First is completed.  Unlike before wherein I am able to write and update multiple stories at the same time, sadly, I can’t do that right now. I hope you understand.

Thanks and have a happy weekend!!!^^
 

P.S. the initials are obvious and cheesy that I wouldn't be surprised if all you are able to figure out what it stands for. Haha.
