i wasn't planning to post anything this week, mostly because i feel like that little dandelion strung out in the breeze and at an impasse about what to write. stuck on everything right now! trawling my google docs like What Next?! and complaining to anyone who will listen. if someone knows the answer, hmu.
also, thank you to everyone who has given me feedback on alta, that also keeps me going like a man in a desert searching for water and i owe you all my non-existent firstborn.
this is from call me (by my name) - my most recent project with @rmd-writes, which seems like the only thing i CAN write at the moment:
In another universe – one in which Carlos was a braver man and TK was a little less prickly – Carlos might have asked him to dance. He wants to ask him to dance, wants to watch TK move in time to the music, or out of time, perhaps. He wants to hear TK's laugh and watch the way a flush rises on his cheeks. He wants to touch TK accidentally and then maybe with more purpose, drag him into a bathroom stall and kiss him breathless. He doesn’t even know if TK is into guys. He just has a feeling, and an inescapable attraction.
In reality, he wants TK to be into guys. More specifically, into Carlos.
leaving an open tag because it's late and i have no brain cells <3 but if you take up this tag, please tag me back so i can read
thank you for encouraging me: @carlos-tk @rmd-writes @carlos-in-glasses @strandnreyes @kiwiana-writes @tellmegoodbye @alrightbuckaroo @lightningboltreader @sherryvalli @inflarescent @orchidscript @heartstringsduet and @cold-blooded-jelly-doughnut and @louisii-reyes-strand for the inspo saturday tag.
"...Right,” Steve sighs tiredly, it's laughable really, just how wrong he and Robin had been.
All that time he thought they were growing closer, that Eddie had been his friend, all those small moments over the last few months were nothing. Just two people with vastly different expectations of what they meant to one another.
I could blame this just what i needed update delay on plot related reasons, but no, it's way more embarrassing. Here's a preview of chapter 15: heaven is a place on earth 👀✨
When is reprimand coming out and the one after that? No rush❤️
Hi there! 🧡
So that is a great question… that I don’t know the answer to exactly. I’d like to say this week, but I’ve been struggling to write the more emotional pieces lately. Portrait is also suffering that fate. I know the wonderful @eleanor-bradstreet has been waiting a while for more Double Bind and I can only humbly apologise.
Reprimand is about two thirds written, but it’s much longer (and more emotional!) than I envisioned, so I’m struggling to get the balance right on it. Succour, the next fic in that series, is also partially written and I have an ending planned and not yet typed out.
I don’t bank content for release. The minute it’s complete, and ideally checked over, I post. Basically I’m very behind and feel a lot of guilt about it, as I’m a slow writer and miss deadlines (eg birthday requests), even when given plenty of notice. I wish I had more time to write and indeed was quicker at it. As much as I can, I try to write in the order I receive requests and I’m still working my way through those received in 2022 even though it’s now April. I know, I know, that’s awful. Again this ask has become a blanket apology lol.
Anyway, thank you for your message and I hope that helps explain! I’m so happy you are enjoying this series enough to ask, it’s so appreciated! 😁🧡
Do I go through the extreme detail of describing my rosestarkillerchaser's accidental first date which they wont realize is a date or just briefly describe it and get onto the actual plot?
nowhere near as iconic as @iboatedhere but thanks for the tag!
(taking a break from ALTA to write my collab with @rmd-writes because I'm once again on struggle street - WHEN WILL THE PAIN END?!)
show me what you're working with @rmd-writes @strandnreyes @reyesstrand @reyescarlos @heartstringsduet @lovesgalores @goodways @lightningboltreader @katiesharms @celeritas2997 @basilsunrise @queen-saltyfries @marjansmarwani also @liminalmemories21 I'm adding you come back
Back in my cubicle of doom after 3 days of glorious freedom and I’ve settled into the middle of what appears to be a multi-part Brienne fic while I debate whether to continue the debauchery of Jan Stevens with a follow up to the Silent Type…an attention span greater than that of the average goldfish would be helpful but oh well 🧐 la da dah 🫠
