In my thirties Blog is really a mixed bag.

May this tenacious beastie grant you the strength to break through whatever is holding you back from completing that important task you've been meaning to get to, and the energy and motivation to

Do The Fucking Thing.

WIP Wednesday

Thank you for the tag, @eridanidreams! I have a general no-pressure tag for anyone who hasn't been already and wants to join in.

Today's peek is a very early rough of a coming chapter in the story I'm working on. The dialogue hit before the rest of the scene formed so I wrote it down more chat/script like and will at some point this week get the rest of the scene around it.

This snippet is also very raw and emotionally charged. It is a character exploding after five years of feeling ignored and neglected. I put the whole thing under a read more for those who might not want to deal with that. Also it's chunky.

WIP Wednesday

I am currently writing four chapters and a one-shot in parallel right now for stars through my fingers like grains of sand. It makes it a little difficult to decide what to share... but here's something sweet from the WIP Chapter 29...

"We're here for a couple days," Sam reminded Cora, "so you can have a good long visit with your grandfather."

"And Sinclair's?" Cora's eyes sparkled with happiness. Sam was glad to see that she'd recovered from last night's bad mood. They still needed to have a talk, but there wasn't any reason she couldn't enjoy her day first while the adults did what they needed to do.

"Oh, god," he groaned—he didn't really mean it, but it was the game. "How much is this going to hurt?"

I feel like some people need to relearn Genre Expectations... "Man, this tragedy sucks!!! Why didn't they just do XYZ, then everything could have ended happily!!" well, then it wouldn't be a tragedy, would it. "Man, this lighthearted teen romcom is terrible, it's so sappy and unrealistic!!" Well, yeah. If it had been gritty and dark, it wouldn't have been a lighthearted romcom, would it. Is the writing actually bad or are you just trying to order a milkshake from a Home Depot

I feel like that should be the canned response to anyone who complains in your fic’s AO3 comments about the [thing] when the [thing] is clearly tagged.
