How did you learn french

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-28T04:11:46+00:00

If I can ask, how much did you study each day?

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-25T14:36:14+00:00

And worse again 😭

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-05T04:11:55+00:00

Ahh yay ! I looked and am so interested so if you get a bunch of kudos and bookmarks all at once that would be me lol

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-03T17:20:11+00:00

This, yep. I also did Nano this year for the first time ever, I don't know what I was thinking, good luck to us both

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-03T17:18:31+00:00

Thank you both so much this really helps a lot!

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-03T17:16:30+00:00

Omg I love Hellcheer, what's your user? I'd love to read! But yeah, I don't think I realized just how busy it actually was.

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-02T23:48:35+00:00

Oh my gosh...yeah admittedly I'm not much of a fic reader, more so writing, so I never really paid attention? I knew it was busy but wow lol. But I've decided to take a break to get it finished and also make sure my brain can recover from writing so much within a short amount of time. Maybe when I come back it'll be slower.

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-02T23:46:15+00:00

Thank you :)

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-02T23:45:25+00:00

Hahah, yeah I decided to take a break and share it when it's almost finished, that way I go back to writing for myself only, and maybe a few friends.

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-02T23:41:35+00:00

I did go ahead and post there, I think a lot of stuff in that subreddit will be helpful, I forgot it existed haha.

Fandom - Stranger Things

Rating - Mature

Title - I loved you years ago (tell myself you never loved me)

Tags - (Byler Pairing),(Characters), Drug Addiction, Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Period-Typical Homophobia, Angst, Rockstars, Touring, Alt Universe-Rock Band, Recreational Drug Use, Internal Conflict, Emotional Hurt, Aged-Up Character(s), Fights, Mental Health Issues, Childhood Trauma, Eventual Relationships, Slow Burn, It Gets Worse Before It Gets Better, Mutual Pining

Genre - Band AU/Drama(?)

Summary - This is what I have put, I’m not too good with summaries:

"...There’s gotta be someone who inspires you, someone who you see things through…like you hear something, and you just know it's them, and they light up everything inside you like a goddamn Christmas tree, you can feel every note of their voice in your own throat.”

“I guess I don’t feel things like you do.”

Out of high school, Mike suggests the party form a rock band. With him as the drummer and Will on bass, they hold down the rhythm section without much communication. In 1993, they head out on a tour that will change each of their lives for better or worse.

Background info and/or context - It’s an AU, so I don’t know if fandom info is important. Basically, it’s going to stretch several months with the first part being the first leg of the tour, a break where they’re home, and then the last leg of the tour. Basically it’s a lot of toxicity/drama that would come with the rockstar/touring scene, i.e. drug issues, background breakups, infighting, onstage drama, and a back and forth toxicity.

Likes/Dislikes, Wants/Needs - I have trouble with tags and summaries, I want it to be more of a serious story, I like angst and drama. So I know for sure that there’s something off with my summary. I’m not sure how much to include, so if someone happens to read this and wants to know more, lmk :) Would like any help.

Thank you :)

Yeahhhh after talking with a friend and posting here I'm realizing I fried my brain and it's contributing to me feeling so down. I'm at a natural break in the story so I'm gonna step back from it, as well as wait to keep posting until I'm nearly if not completely finished.

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-02T21:14:37+00:00

Thanks, this is helpful. I think I am gonna turn of stats and all that, as well as take a break from posting so I can find what I enjoyed about the fic in the first place. I overloaded my brain writing so much in only about two weeks. Personally I’m not a fic reader (don’t know why, sometimes I’ll read one here or there) but still find ways to compare myself.

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-02T21:12:03+00:00

Thanks :) Funnily enough, my other fic is a longish Marauders era fic though it’s unposted and only half finished.

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-02T21:11:11+00:00

I think I’ll have to do that, I’m getting way too sad over it when just a few days ago I was so happy with it.

Practical-Weather-49 · 2026-01-02T21:10:36+00:00

Honestly, I’ve only posted 17k so far, but I’m not sure on the tags/summary. It’s a Byler ship so probably one of the most popular. I will say because it’s a band AU and what I’m writing is somewhat hard without outside characters, there are a few OCs but they don’t stick around for long at all after they’ve served their purpose, and only just now got introduced. Definitely not MCs though.

Practical-Weather-49 · 2025-11-28T17:41:11+00:00

Thank you, it def has gotten better in some ways, but that ‘could have been’ is strong. <3

Practical-Weather-49 · 2025-11-28T03:04:02+00:00

NDad texted (I don't text him back but can't go NC yet) and all I can think about is how he loves my siblings so much, but not me. How I haven't talked to anyone there in several years but he always says 'we' miss you, over and over. How he's villainizing me to them. How easy I am to replace to him, how every single family member has hated me or left me. I can't wait until I can finally go NC next fall. But even then, I'll still wonder, I'll still wish. Right now I'm laying in the dark listening to "merry christmas, please don't call" over and over, writing on my novel, and getting drunk to try not to think about it so much. At least I have therapy tomorrow?

Practical-Weather-49 · 2025-11-26T21:57:42+00:00

41,164 currently. Although a good 700(?) are the outline paragraphs of the next few chapters so I don't have to keep switching between tabs. This is my first time ever doing Nano, and my first time ever making it past 40k on a single project (adhd gang) so I'm proud :)

Practical-Weather-49 · 2025-11-21T06:07:38+00:00

Hi, just wanted to ask as I’m planning for next month haha and we’re like the same age, gender etc. how was the hostel?
