The Big Book of Penguins in a Cup


Hi. I'm the author behind all of these dumb stories on my profile. I go by Sleepy or Kopi, or Mirei if you have read Threadbare, technically the first book that I finished. Pengu is fine too, because who doesn't like penguins?

In all honesty, I hate writing with a deep and burning passion. It requires me to sit down and think about a story's plot, and figure out words and how to make a nice story that someone will read and enjoy. I can't do that, I hate doing that, my brain works super fast to the point it can stray really quickly or just go too far, and then I forget what I'm even brainstorming about. I forget what I’m saying mid-plot and end up writing absolute nonsense, then giving up and publishing it anyway. Then the next day, I come back, cringe at my work, and edit it. The cycle repeats. It’s a process that I honestly really hate.

My work process is like I'm racing against time itself, polishing and writing as fast as possible in a really squished amount of time, or else I get bored and my interest goes elsewhere. A few months later, I might not have made a single bit of progress because I decided to get new interests. Which is bad, because I want to finish my works and not give up halfway.

I also enjoy drawing and imagining scenarios in my head. So one day, I thought, "Hey! I like writing (lie) and drawing (half a lie), why not make a comic?" Bad idea, I'm knee deep in sleep deprivation. But the two people I got on board to help me out, aha, the sweetest people, real!! I don't know where I'm gonna be posting it when I'm done anyway, but I'll be updating news about it in my book RXI when I do. And if you're interested in gaining experience and possibly making new friends (no money yet, am sorry), hit up teddy_bread_ on Instagram or X! heck yeah random advertisement!!

Honestly, I'm not really sure what my point is in making this. Are there guidelines I have to follow and that I didn't read somewhere? Is this allowed? I'm not sure at all.

Stay a while if you like ghost girls, slow burn friendships, thieves who flirt too much, or characters that suffer for no reason. Or just badly written angst. I'm trying lmao
