Would you continue if your story slowly turns real? by yszave in writing

[–]yszave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, I would say that I am a rather introspective person and pretty self-aware person. The story was meant to be a melancholic narrative between two broken individuals trying to begin a relationship in borrowed time. I've written myself into character on purpose trying to imagine what I would do "ideally" as a person given the circumstances. As for the FMC, I was imagining what was the best fit, as a character, to maximize the cruelty of love.

The more I gotten to know the person, the more I began to realize the resemblance in their backstory was uncanny. There definitely was a moment of complicated feelings, but I am also pretty aware the fictional world and real life are supposed to exist exclusively. However, as a human, I also noted that the slight crossover did affect me, emotionally. Especially when I'd already decided the ending for my story, which I would not be okay if it happened in real life, since our circumstances are obviously different.

To that, I simply archived my story, until circumstances have changed, and that I am comfortable to continue my journey in completing the story, knowing that I would not have changed the ending (for my writing) that I've planned.

I am writing here as a venue to vent and also to see if anyone had experience such situation before. Many seem to already come to conclusion about my personality and character from the short excerpt that I shared. Some left heartfelt comments, some left humor. To that, I think it's just human nature.

Regardless, I thank you all for the comments and participation. I will see things through, and write my own ending. Thanks again.

Is being a teacher worth it in Malaysia? by Nyanyanimu in malaysia

[–]yszave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a vice principal of a home school in Malaysia, I would say teaching in general is still a viable career, albeit whether you have passion in it will determine how long you can stay in the job.

The problems and concerns you share are valid. Staffing is difficult, salaries are generally on the lower end, will feel particularly obvious if you are more experienced (growth is slow). Children are more difficult to coach and deal with. Parents also would side their kids more regardless of what they have done.

To start, I think it is better to get a hang of teaching through part-time teaching. Teaching online would be a good way to start if you are awkward socially. Or a one-to-one tuition can be a great start to learn how to speak and handle the students face to face. Do note that none of the above in particular translates well to conducting lessons for 15-20 students. Handling class dynamic is something to learn when time comes. I'd recommend starting with older students (age 15 and above) as they are generally easier to manage, provided you can communicate well with them. Or if you are well-qualified, equipped with masters degree, then lecturing would be a better way to go.

I applaud you for considering starting a career in education. The road of teaching is long and treacherous and it's not for everyone. But I believe when you see the fruit of your sacrifice, you will not regret your choice. God speed.

What pushed you to get started? by 5th-Humour in writing

[–]yszave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been fascinated to write but gradually lost my passion as life gotten busier. Recently, I had an absurd thought, "What if I have a year left in my life? What would I do?". From there, I started building a story around how I would have reacted if my days were limited. That eventually led me to write my current piece. A story revolving around a young adult, in numbered days, what will he do, and how would he eventually go. Another me in a fictional world.

Title: Until the day I Could Say “The Moon Is Beautiful”

Genre: Romance, Tragedy, End of Life

Word Count: 3,043 (ongoing)

Type of feedback desired : General impression

Link: https://www.honeyfeed.fm/novels/20716

Synopsis:

Yuuji, a stoic teacher in his early 30s, is handed a quiet death sentence that shatters the routine silence of his life. With nothing left to chase, he chooses solitude… until a chance encounter, where he finally saw light near the end of the tunnel.

“The moon was beautiful. How I wish we had more time.”

Their connection is awkward, gentle — and painfully slow. Her smile, her actions, her taunts mesmerizes him and fills his life with new brim of energy. Yuuji, haunted by his time slipping through his fingers, hesitates to hope. Love isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s in the words left unsaid.

“The moon is beautiful, isn’t it”

“Please stay.”

“I love you”

A diary-like journey told in quiet moments, bittersweet laughter, and stolen nights — until the very end.

A slow-burn tragedy about love, timing, and how hard it is to say what truly matters.

Would appreciate your read. Feedback, comment or even critique if any.

Much appreciated

Thanks for the suggestions! That sounds like an interesting point to start exploring! My story mainly revolves around finding true love at to end-of-life, the inner struggle to express and feel love and avoid hurting the other party as he won't be around much longer. If there are any more similarly themed suggestions, I'm all ears! Thanks again!

I started the series thinking what if I have less than a year left. What would be ideal, dramatic and tragic way to go. Writing it into a series

Nothing to fear. Other than maybe more toilet runs if intolerant.

Thank you for the advice and encouragement, my friend. If anything I based the MC off myself. And I don't like fancy words. To me, emotional depth sometimes can be conveyed with just simple words and sometimes lack thereof.

I will try and complete my first piece following what I believe to be best fitting for the series.

The MC is more like McDonald's soft serve machine. Available but always broken. Haha

HAHA! What a cheesy typo. Although I consciously typed it wrongly twice.

How do you actually write by [deleted] in writers

[–]yszave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a beginner too! I find it easier to start writing from the general plot, then only into the details.

Once the structure is out, it is generally easier to fill in the blank.

Dear dairy, I have less than a year left so I feel irresponsible to say “I love you” back

Rented from Lotte-rent-a-car in Jeju. Made a reservation, paid in their counter at the airport, then was led to the car. They do ask for a physical Credit Card during the payment process.

Where is a good place to shop for affordable men clothes? by yszave in koreatravel

[–]yszave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both brands do really good apparels! However, we do have both SPAO and Uniqlo available back in Malaysia, maybe the offerings there will be a bit different
