i’m not really ready to make a post about how we’ll fight – i thought we already were fighting and honestly, i’m already tired – but what i can do is say this: to everyone who is afraid of what a trump presidency means for their lives, their happiness and their safety, i’ve got you. i swear to god i’ve got your back.

CAuse people don’t usually do platonic relationships and they think a close friendship will set me apart from the other writers in my semi-genre

Writing is hard. 

After got it’s first real graduate workshop

I’ll be ironing this bastard out for the rest of my life.

In other news, class is against Hayda (well one is very passionately against Hayda)

Just a reminder that this scene was only there because Crystal specifically asked Jeff for it.  If he had had his way, we wouldn’t have seen Allison’s reaction to her mother’s death at all.

Another After update

So after taking chapter one into one of my graduate classes, I have been haunted by a question one person asked: “Why do these people keep going?” The short answer is ‘wut why do people live now’ but the deeper answer is ‘I don’t know these characters as well as I should.’ I also, apparently, haven’t developed them enough in the first chapter so I’m working on that. 

In order to remedy my ‘I don’t know you people’ problem, I’ve reverted to a project I started back in summer 2013 then unceremoniously abandoned due to personal issues, AKA project character sheets. Because I feel like I know who Hayden is at a base level, and because I know the answer to ‘why does he keep going,’ I am focusing on the one that doesn’t want me to know her (STILL. THE PUNK). 

Here’s what I’ve learned so far:

Danielle has three tattoos. Stars on her right wrist (to match with the moon on Hayden’s left), the date she and Hayden were 'rescued’ on her left shoulder, and a water color something on her left upper arm (Still trying to figure that one out) and more pending, if I can find a tattoo that isn’t super cliche.

She owns a Glock 19 that she bought after the outbreak

Though she rarely says it, her favorite word is fuck. 

Literally the only person she’ll talk about in the family section is her dad. 

Her dad is 62 in Part 2, when he officially shows up in narrative for a physical ‘confrontation.’

The closer we get to real deep shit, the more and more difficult it’s becoming to get anything.

I will have a complete picture before the end of the week if it kills me.

After like two and half years, the ending for After is finally falling into place. Notes under the jump.

Keep reading

WE END WITH DANIELLE HOLY FUCK ALL RIGHT THIS ALL SOUNDS GREAT I’M FUCKING EXCITED AS HELL

[hellhoundhavoc]

Might start part 2 with her too. Their chapters can be interchanged, since they’re separated.

Get hyped.

Notes

Part 1′s ending and part 2′s are two years apart, and subject to increase

The scenes after the wedding are the turning point of part 2

One protagonists makes their feelings known in no uncertain terms post-wedding, and it feels pretty gooood :) (I think the other one might too but not until the end)

Hayden named his business Braveheart Construction....ya know... like William Wallace (he is a dork).

As I’m writing it right now, we start the whole book in third person limited with Hayden’s voice. We’re ending in third person limited with Danielle’s
