Kiss someone—Passionately

Smoke cheroot and drink scotch

Ride astride

Fence

Attend a duel

Fire a pistol

Gamble (at a gentleman’s club)

Dance every dance at a ball

Be considered beautiful. Just once.

Here we go.. THE END

15/01/2023 till 18/01/2023 I have read Twisted Dreams by Ana Huang.

After many years, this book was the first one I’ve read about a mainstream romance with a spicy touch. We all love and hate Alex the same time and we all have Ava in us when she is mad at Alex but to be honest: I sobered as I read about all the family lies Ava had been through. My heart was broken and fixed again by Alex charming and egocentric aura. A good book for a quick read and I will but definitely the next ones. At some points a bit simple at the way it is written but that’s ok for the storyline. — 3/5 🤍

Hey folk! Thank you for today’s tags @alexalexinii @nausikaaa @shrekgogurt @iamamythologicalcreature @you-remind-me-of-the-babe and @artsyunderstudy, and thanks everyone who's kept tagging me even though I've been hugely absentee.

Am I back and engaging with fandom regularly? Well, I make absolutely zero promises. It’s been an exhausting three months (rl + fibro) but hopefully I’ll be more involved again soon.

Here is an excerpt from upcoming chapter 5 of For All Intents and Purposes, with Baz having an unsolicited encounter on Santa Monica pier.

“Hey.” I startle. I heard the man approach, but I didn’t think he’d speak to me. Maybe he just wants some space to read the boards. I make room for him without looking up, offering a perfunctory “hey.” “I heard your accent,” he says. “You’re an English guy.” When I look, I see a California cliche. Thick dark blond hair to his shoulders, with a shark’s tooth pendant hanging on a leather cord over his bare chest. He smiles at me with unmatched ease. He could have stepped straight out of a surf magazine centrefold. I don’t arch a brow. I may lower them, despite my efforts at civility. Who just walks up to strangers and talks to them? “I am,” I say before returning to the board. Apparently the pier is a designated U.S. National Historic Landmark. It seems reasonable that one hundred years would justify– “That’s awesome. I competed in a surf competition in Newquay a couple of years ago.” What does he want, a medal? Well, he should have won one at the competition.

Here are some snippets from the mood board that relate to chp 4. @erzbethluna did a solid job of summing up Baz's struggles.

And the contrast between the clothing favoured by Simon and Baz.

Another look at my summer tbr

25|07|2023

In the past couple of days I finally got to work in my room. I took everything out, and today I repainted the walls. I have not changed the color although I kinda wanted to, but it was definitely needed. I had never done this myself before, so I asked my dad to teach me. I love doing this kind of works around the house, and I learned so many new skills. It brings me so much joy to do this kind of stuff, and I feel like I am truly embracing my chill hobbit summer goal of finding joy in small daily activities. I am so proud of how it turned out since it was my first time painting walls! Tomorrow I think we'll do a quick run to ikea to get a few things we need for the house, I want to get a frame for a bookish poster and a couple of other things. Then we'll start putting shelves back on the walls and bringing the room back together. I'll camp in the livingroom for the night, since the paint's smell is still pretty stong, and I am actually pretty excited for the small nightly change. Again finding joy in small stuff. This week seems to be a good one, I am in a mood for small changes and practical work.

Chill hobbit summer activities of the last few days:

Kept my habit of reading first thing in the morning and did my best to also have at least 10 minutes of reading before sleep

Continued my Irish reviews on duolingo

Took everything out in my room, plastered the walls where they needed fixing, and repainted the whole room

Learned all the new skills I needed to do that with the help of my dad and had lots of fun with it

Had my monthly therapy session which went really well and had me start my week very positively (I also wore a outfit that made me feel super confident to go to my appointment which adds to the overall positive feelings)

Finished my Tolkien movie marathon which brought a lot of joy

Spent time in the garden with my family playing board games and darts

If I want to build up a platform from tumblr would it be okay to reblog and post whatever I feel is meaningful and good to spread and I enjoy seeing or would it need to be just writer/writing stuff? How would i go about doing it? Wouldn't people steal any excerpts I write on here to gauge interest? Should I even write the thing if no one is interested? Sorry this ask de-railed a lot from its original query but hope you'll still answer all of them. Have a delightful day!

Concerns About Building a Platform on Tumblr

There are lots of great questions here, so I'll try to tackle them all. ♥

If I want to build up a platform from tumblr would it be okay to reblog and post whatever I feel is meaningful and good to spread and I enjoy seeing or would it need to be just writer/writing stuff?

If you want to build up a writer/author platform on tumblr, then you will want the bulk of your posts to be related to writing and writing-related subjects. Writing-related subjects would be things like books and bookish things, coffee and tea, stationery--anything that feels writing adjacent to you. However, you can definitely mix things up a bit by sharing inspiring images, things that make you happy, fandom stuff, etc. Just make sure these posts don't drown out the writing-related ones.

How would i go about doing it?

Start by putting a little thought into the platform you want to create. If you know what you want to write--what genre, what type of stories, etc.--you can look there for theme inspiration. For example, if you write warm and fuzzy romance, you'll probably want a blog theme and title that reflect that. Something like "Hearts, Bubbles, and Words" for example. Once you have your blog setup, start following other writing-related blogs, bookish blogs, blogs with pretty pictures or things that make you happy--any blog that is likely to post things you might want to share. Then, you just start re-blogging the content you want to share, and posting the content you want to create. Some things to help build followers:

-- follow blogs that look interesting to you -- like posts that show up in your feed -- re-blog and add your thoughts on posts that merit discussion -- reply to posts when you have something to add -- send questions and comments off Anon -- show support when people share their own writing -- write posts about blogs you enjoy and tag them -- post your own writing and use proper tags

Wouldn't people steal any excerpts I write on here to gauge interest?

Stealing isn't near as common as you would expect it to be, but it can happen, and for that reason it's best not to share big excerpts (or a lot of small ones) of anything you plan on publishing. In fact, it's best to keep WIP details as mum as possible. You can share a little, but don't go overboard. Instead, write things specifically to share on the blog. Might someone steal it and try to pass it off as their own? Maybe, but it's unlikely, and if they do there's little chance they'll gain anything from it. And if you want to drum up interest in your WIP, try posting things like mood boards, inspiration photos, short essays about your writing process, that sort of thing.

Should I even write the thing if no one is interested?

Yes. The point of starting a writing blog to build up a platform isn't to gain 30k followers overnight and get thousands of reblogs.

Gaining a following takes time and effort, and the reality is you could have 30,000 followers on tumblr and that doesn't mean you'll get thousands of notes on your posts. Social media experts consider a good follower to engagement ratio (on any platform) to be between 1% and 5%. So, if you have 100 followers on tumblr, if you're getting a few notes on each post, you're doing great. And for someone with 30,000 followers, 300 notes per post would be good engagement.

And I think you also have to have realistic expectations, too. If you need a ton of engagement to feel like people are interested, you might be disappointed. Because another reality of social media is that some people don't engage--meaning they don't like, comment, or reblog--but that doesn't mean they're not reading and enjoying your posts.
