Confessions of a BL Story Author: The Love (and Ch
Hey there, fellow readers and aspiring writers!
So, I’ve officially entered the wild world of BL storytelling, and let me tell you: it’s a rollercoaster filled with heart-fluttering moments, plot twists I didn’t see coming (mostly because I forgot what I was writing), and a surprising number of “what did I just write?” moments.
Here are a few *truths* I’ve learned along the way:
1. **Character names are like passwords—you think you’ll remember them, but then you forget and have to scroll back for clarification.**
“Wait, is his name Kai or Kaito? Ah well, they’re both adorable.”
2. **Dialogue: the only place where my characters can be *more* dramatic than a telenovela.**
“Oh, you think you’re over me? Well, I’m over you, but my feelings are *still* over the moon!”
3. **Plot twists come faster than my Wi-Fi drops during a crucial scene.**
“Did I just kill off the love interest? Oops. Wait, I meant to give them a happy ending, I swear!”
4. **Fan art is both inspiring and terrifying.**
“Wow, they look so cute! Wait, I didn’t describe that character’s hair like that. Now I have to rewrite everything.”
5. **Writing BL has turned me into a certified shipper — I ship my own characters harder than my favorite k-pop group.**
“Will they, won’t they? Yes, they will. No, they won’t. Wait, I just made them canon in my head.”
In the end, being a BL story author is a wild, hilarious, and occasionally embarrassing journey — but honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
If you’re thinking about writing your own BL story, buckle up, grab some snacks, and prepare for a lot of *heart* and a whole lot of *chaos*.
Happy writing, lovebirds! 💖✍️
