Being a writer is wild because what do you mean I just wrote one of the best gay kissing scenes of my life while staring at the wall of my homophobic grandparents’ shower?

Me: I feel like writing.
Also Me: I’d rather sit on the couch and binge Netflix.
A few hours later…
Me: I really should write that fic.
Also Me: Hmm. Maybe tomorrow. Not like anyone’s waiting for me to drop a fic.

Yeah, I just told everyone I love that my story has been announced. Haven’t said it to one friend because I want it to be a surprise for when I see her tomorrow.

You people! I got the most amazing comment on a new chapter of my WIP today. It just popped into my inbox today and I was in the middle of paying attention to something on my laptop (as I was in the middle of my work day) so I didn’t pay the notification on my phone too much attention.
But I looked soon after because it said “AO3” and that’s a magic acronym and it also said “Little Prince, Kneel III” and well, I’m obsessed with the story! I guess I should be because I’m the author but that aside it really means a great deal to me and it always will. And I know there are probably a good bunch of haters out there, the series certainly received it’s fair share of flames over the years, some more upsetting than others…
But I digress!
The comment I got, you people, it was a thing of beauty. I’m not screenshooting it and sharing it here because I don’t know whether the commenter would want that… And I know I could blur out their username, but listen, I have a full-blown cold and doing all that seems such a maddeningly difficult job. So, instead I’m just gonna gosh here, because honestly that comment was so kind, and so heartfelt and it made me feel so so so good and inspired. I’ve received a fair few such comments and they are all beautiful and dear to me and I hold them close to me.
Today’s comment just really hit me in all the right places. ‘Cos like I’m sick and anxious and stressed and life’s been a bit much and I’m doing well (mostly) and have super good supports in place (and an incredibly kind friend to support me with a small fest I’m running), but you know when you get that warm fuzziness and it just won’t go away? Well that!

One Life
One life I’ve lived this time
is in the back booth of a diner
or cafe, out of the way, drinking
coffee, smoking, watching the
people, writing things down.
In this life, I could be mute,
I don’t talk to anyone, I
just watch and listen and write.
That’s it. This is one person
that I’ve been this life, across
the country, Canada, parts of
Mexico, observing, recording.
It’s a life. It’s a way of
life. It’s a place where I
feel comfortable: nothing I
have to say, no one I have to
relate to. I have had other
lives this time but none more
basic. It’s lonely sometimes
but even the loneliness isn’t
really uncomfortable: it fits.
I could wish that some of my
other lives fitted as well
but that’s carping. We play
the hand that’s dealt us and
hope we leave behind something
of worth but we don’t know.
Somewhere in all those lines
written in all those places
there may be a line that lasts.
If not, there was still the
doing of it, the peace of a
room where people come to eat
or drink coffee or talk and
also, though they’re not aware
of it, to be watched and
written down.
—Albert Huffstickler

Man, I almost forgot how hard it is to come up with a wip title! My poor brain. I was spoiled by Caught in the flood, that title came so easily.

Tfw when you’re reading something unrelated, an idea clicks for something you’re writing, and even though you’ve not put it into practice yet with one single word, you think “Heheheee, I’m so GOOD”

*writing*
*takes a sip of coffee (long since gone cold)*
*glances at the time*
*stops and stares at the time*
Me: “am I still drinking coffee at 12:30 AM?”
Me: …
*shrugs, takes another sip of coffee*
*keeps writing*

That wonderful feeling when you’re on the train heading to work and listening to music and a perfect line comes into your head and you can just pull up Google docs and write fifty words instead of fumbling in your bag for your pad and pen (which you actually do half the time anyway). 🥰
