Hello!

This post is because my theme on mobile doesn’t let you see these links, so, here we go.

A quick summary - I’m old enough to know better, and old enough not to care.

I’m a 30-something female so very much not a child. She/Her is fine and I’m from the UK - I’m not ignoring your message, my timeline is probably backwards to yours!

I am very much a mama bear and pretty protective of people in general, as well as those I care about.

Always willing to be a listening ear, will give the best advice I can if it’s wanted and I like to think that I’m a pretty… Safe? human being. I’m not gonna judge you (unless it’s illegal, but I’ve never run into anyone who likes that kinda shit) and chances are I’ll just want to protect you.

You can find more about me here.

I have a disclaimer page here which covers my stance on a couple of issues that pop up in the Tumblr circles I roam in.

Finally, I have a Writing MasterList and details about what I write are on the top of that post.

Er, I have an AO3 now! So, there’s that. I’ll get it all over there eventually, but… It’s a lot of work, isn’t it?

Feel free to ask questions. I don’t really bite.

So apparently I have regular anons now <3

If you feel like you might drop by often, feel free to assign yourself an emoji/sign off - you don’t have to wait for me to invite you to do so!

Here’s to everyone who was doing better, but has hit a rough period. It’s okay. You will be okay, you just gotta hang in there. Steps backs happen, and you are not going backwards. You still have your strenght and all that you have learned that can help you get back on your feet, and better days will reach you, right now you just gotta hang on and wait for the storm to pass enough for you to feel like you can get up and move forwards. 🌸

July Camp NaNoWriMo - Day 1

Words Written Today: 1,062 / 800 words.
Today’s Goal: 800 words.
Today’s (Total) Word Count: 1,062 / 24,800 words.

Worked On: NormalAU scenarios.

Favourite line:
Aw.

Shelly nodded and blinked rapidly as Frank cupped her cheek in his hand.

“It’s nothing to do with you, it’s nothing you’ve done, you haven’t done anything wrong. They’re just a little awkward. They’re getting there.”


Comments?
And so it begins! Again! Another Camp NaNoWriMo month.
I haven’t had the drive or the time, really, to sit and do some planning for what I thought I wanted to write, so I’m just gonna plod along until I have some time to do that.

Trying a new top stats section this time.

So the first is my daily goal - 800 words a day. The second is the word count goal I should be on - that’ll increase in 800s. (So Day 10 will be 8,000 words for example. Day 2 will be 1,600 words.) The third is obviously how far though the total goal I am (800 x 31 is 24,800 words.)

Hopefully that’ll make these posts shorter on the dashboard and take me less time to format/do every night. We’ll see how it goes.

June 2023 Writing Wrap Up

Words Written: 32,593 words.

Yup. I’m pretty happy with that. I’ve had some really good days, thanks to my wife letting me write almost entire one shots in her inbox XD

Things I’ve worked on:
~ various NormalAU scenes. Seriously, there’s lots of these little bonus bits, idk if I’ll ever flesh them all out.
~ the Reverse Vampire AU
~ brainstorming a lil exchange student clothes swap scenario
~ the “what if?” scenario situation I mentioned a few days ago
~ and the two things I started, finished and published

Things Published:
Both these things were specifically written for Pride, allowing Shelly to bask in her bisexuality for once!
~
I Can Admit That I’m Just Too Soft
~
Oh, I Thought, This Is Gonna Be One Of Those Things

Edit: OH I forgot one! Though I didn’t write this one this month, I just polished it up and posted it.
~ You Conjure Up A Fiction

July Plans!
Okay before I start this, one of my June plans, aside from my daily words, was to finish and post something. I did that AND as an extra bonus, those pieces were wonderfully gay. Shelly is pleased.

Anyway. July is a Camp NaNoWriMo month, so my daily word count goal is more than likely going to be a bit more than normal.

I think my only July goal is going to be to hit my word count every day. Even though, at the time of writing this, I haven’t decided what that goal is going to be. It might just be 700 a day again, like I normally do for Camps now. Like, it’s a lil extra than normal because I wanna push myself but I don’t want to stress myself. It might be 800, actually. 31 x 800 is 24,800 and that’s close to half of NaNoWriMo. AND we all know I’ll probably go over that main goal anyway because I normally do. I’m not sure, I’ll sleep on it.

30th June - 527 words.

Worked On: the possible non canon scene from yesterday.

Favourite Line:
Ohhhhh! <3

“Don’t tell me that, you’ll never get rid of me.”

Frank looked up at her and grinned. “Is that a promise?”

She smiled, she couldn’t help it when he grinned at her like that. “Maybe.”

.
Man, today’s been long. A little rough.

Work, grocery shopping, dinner, curled up with my lil ikea shark for a few hours because I felt kinda miserable.

I have a tiny lil ulcer thing on my tongue and it hurts. And yet I can’t stop myself doing the thing that created it and I’m mad at myself for it. I think that action that caused it is loosely linked to stress now and I hate that too, because not only does this action cause the lil ulcer thing, it leaves me with an achy jaw. I hate this. I never used to have these issues.

Uh, I still need to do some planning and setting up for July’s Camp NaNoWriMo, though with the way I’ve been feeling this week, the planning might have to go out of the window and I’ll just… Write what comes to mind. I did have a plan, but if my mood doesn’t improve I probably won’t be happy with what I write for it, and it’s one of those… Core events that I want to be happy with.

Oh, and I need to do a June Wrap Up post. That’s coming.

Which path should he choose?

image

The path of the warrior, the path of the scholar, or the path of the artist?

moonimbued

he should wander away and have a picnic while he thinks about what path to choose

charlesoberonn

Great idea! But where should he have the picnic?

image

Under the tree, or under the old fort?

acatdisguisedasahuman

By the sea, so he can enjoy the sound of the waves

charlesoberonn

A lovely choice!

image

Should he build a sandcastle to pass the time? Or perhaps go fishing?

cynicallyaestetic

Perhaps he could collect shells he finds interesting

charlesoberonn

Sounds fun!

image

Which shell should he pick up?

sourjen

image

This one

charlesoberonn

That's not a shell, it's a tiny earpiece.

image

Should he listen to music? Or to the mysterious pre-recorded message?

sar-kalu

He should give it back to the crab in the largest shell, they thought they had lost their wave-pod and are grateful he found it!

charlesoberonn

The crab wants to give a gift in return.

image

Should he accept the gift of power, or the gift of knowledge?

sunw00d

the gift of friendship :)

charlesoberonn

Friendship acquired!

image

Should they celebrate with pizza or ice cream?

valentineish

The crab friend cannot eat either of those! Let's split a nice seaweed salad instead. :)

charlesoberonn

So many options!

image

Should they get tossed salad, wiggly salad, or spiky salad?

frescopino

Seasar salad

charlesoberonn

Nothing beats getting it straight from the source

image

Should they use scissors or claws to cut the seaweed?

somethingmissingthiswaycomes

What about that sword in the first panel?

charlesoberonn

The circle is complete.

image

Through choices, friendship, and salad, he found his way to the path of the warrior. But he won't walk it alone.

Their path is just beginning, but this story is over.

Thank you to everyone who participated!

haltraveler

This is somehow both the epitome and antithesis of "yes, and" and it FASCINATES me

long postthis was LOVELY

29th June - 558 words.

Worked On: some NormalAU scene that might not even be considered canon.

Favourite Line:
Uh, not much to choose from, really.

Frank was still the first one to see her that day, wandering into the kitchen to find her washing the dishes they’d left the night before. The sight makes him wince with guilt - he’d actually been hoping to get to them first.

.
This is -really- late today. I’ve essentially been sitting with my brain doing that buffering icon all evening and I don’t know why.

I think I’m just feeling a little down at the moment.

I’m telling you right now if you think authors only read your comment on their fic once you are dead wrong

millennial-ring

#haha yeah#and sometimes if we’re having a bad day or feel like our writing is crap we’ll re-read and entire story’s worth of comments#to try to get back into writing mode (tags @sitabethel)

okay but i literally did exactly that today. i reread every single comment ever posted to haunted (both ff and ao3) before i sat down to write. 

helly-watermelonsmellinfellon

I do this every time I’m about to write a new chapter of a fic. The good reviews make me happy and willing to type more.

cowboybootsandhuntershelper

A year. It’s been over a year. And my ass was Down yesterday and I read through the old comments and guess who’s fuckin writing some shit tonight.
