Attention!
I’m going to the Chicago Writing Workshop on July 23rd! If you’re going, send me a message so we could possible meet up, talk, and exchange procrastination techniques. I’ll post more information as time goes on.
Btw I have a new WIP called The Karma of Starfish . . . yay!
Holy Shit
100 followers?!?!
Damn what did I do to trick 100 people into liking my content?
All jokes aside, I’m so glad that 100 of you have found and enjoyed my content in the ocean of other accounts!
Also please send me questions about Harkyn and Avita because I love my new children
So . . . Um
I’m Back!!
Yes, I took a lengthy hiatus and no I was not writing during that time. I’ve been going through a lot of shit with an ED relapse and am currently looking to find a therapist.
But you don’t want my sob story, you want UPDATES!
You may remember the novel I was working on before I went MIA, The Fourth Hunter. I’m sad to say that I’ve put that wip on the shelf for now. But it is not forgotten. I made a lot (A LOT) of mistakes with TFH, and I want to use it as guidance for my next idea.
What’s that? Ladybug chased down another plot bunny?
YES
It’s still in planning for another week or so, but the working title is Samsara Blooming. It’s about poor city boy turned palace spy, Harkyn, and his hunt for the mythical Garden. Avita is a reincarnation of the first woman, Eve. She is the guardian of the Garden. When two worlds collide, which will triumph?
E R I N Q U I N C E Y: nighted, (adj) cloaked in or surrounded by darkness

Last Line Tag
I was tagged by @ally-thorne, @taz-writes, @mirandashepardauthor, and @dreamsofbooksandmonsters
The Beast’s claws latched onto my shoulders. In a second, my legs were dangling in the air feet above the ground. I screamed in an adrenaline-muddled mixture of terror and pain. I tried prying the claws off me, but the Popobawa only latched on tighter. The other one—the one that used to be the girl’s brother—flew beside us with Matt dangling from its claws. It noticed me looking at it and roared at me.
I hung my head in defeat. My stomach dropped when I saw how high we were. The buildings under me were mere shadows in the dark. We flew higher and my ears started to pop painfully. Dark clouds blocked my vision. I heard Matt scream; he sounded like he was in pain. I turned to look at him. His body flailed wildly in the air, hands clawing at nothing. He was trying to fight back, but the Beast was too strong for him.
“Why won’t you fight?” I noticed too late that he was talking to me. “It’s your job to fight these things! Come on.”
“It’s no use,” I said hoarsely. “These Beasts are too strong. They’re too smart.”
“So what if they are? We’re the apex predators here.” The Popobawa holding him roared at him to shut up.
I’m not going to tag anyone because I’m trying to catch up on tag games, but feel free to do this if you want!
OC Clickbait Titles
I didn’t even know this was a thing until @ally-thorne tagged me. It looks wonderfully fun and funny, so here we go! (I’m going to do the cast of the second/third acts)
Erin: Local woman disappears on Christmas Day. Possibly spotted in Washington DC at the sight of a bombing attempt. Did she do it? Naomi: Before, she was living in foster homes. Now, she is the most likely candidate for the American presidency! Tiana: Cancer survivor has even more tricks up their sleeve! Read on to know how they took down a Beast using the power of waiting. Jordan: Boy turns invisible after a fight with his mother. Trick of the eye, or something sinister?
Matt: Multiple reports of the dead being brought back to life in the Washington DC area. Is this the boy behind it?
I’m not going to tag anyone because dear Lord I am behind on tags. (Whoops). But feel free to do this if you want!!

Reblog to have something good happen at 1:42 tomorrow
I’ll be in History class. Lord knows I’ll need this
“chuffed doesnt mean what you think it means”
it means exactly what i think it means its just some stupid word that literally has two definitions that mean the opposite thing
what the hell
This makes me really chuffed
This post is quite egregious
Well I’m nonplussed by this whole post.
goddamnit.
all of you go to hell
And you wonder why i am boggled at times
These are called contronyms! A word that is its own opposite.
Why the fuck do these exist
One theory is that the sarcastic use of the word became exceedingly prevalent and because another dictionary definition.
Are you telling me that we were such sarcastic shits it literally changed our language.
speaking as a linguist: yes. that is exactly what happened. isn’t it beautiful.
I hate this
If you're a creator and you needed to hear this today:
You have no idea how many people lurk on your work. No idea how many times people go back to revisit your work. How big they smile when they simply think about your work. How fast their heart beats, how excited they get when they see that you posted something.
People are shy with their feedback. Sometimes it’s because they’re simply shy. Other times it’s because they assume you already know how great and talented you are. Could be both.
My point is, even if you barely have any likes or reblogs, don’t get discouraged. You have a lot of silent fans, but they are still your fans. Keep on creating. Because there is always someone out there who will love what you have made.
