I DO NOT WRITE FAN FICTION

All my work is original fiction. I write general fiction which often contains adult language and themes.

I cannot and will not stop anyone from reading or Interacting with my content, as I believe each individual is responsible for their own online experience. I am not responsible for your personal comfort and I will not pad the sharp corners for you.

I owe my followers an apology.

I apologize for every time I whined, complained or vague-posted about lack of engagement and lack of interest on my posts, and most especially on my writing. It was wrong and unrealistic to expect anyone to engage with it, regardless of how much effort I put into it. I was wrong to presume my effort should equal your interest, and then complain when my expectations didn't align with reality.

And honestly? It was objectively bad anyway. In hindsight, if I were a stranger and someone had presented it to me, I probably wouldn't have read it either, which makes my expectations of engagement doubly unreasonable.

So, please accept my apology for my poor behaviour. I can assure you that I won't be repeating it in future. I've been through all the stages of grief with my writing, and I've finally reached acceptance.

Indefinite Pause

As you may or may not have noticed, I haven't posted anything meaningful on here since before Christmas. I haven't actually written anything since before Christmas either. I don't know if or when I'll write again, and even if I do resume, I won't be sharing it.

This is not a pity post. I think I've cycled through all the stages of grief when it comes to my utter mediocrity as a writer, and I've finally settled on acceptance.

Workspace Wednesday

Are you working on something that you'd like to talk about with others? Workspace Wednesday is where you can share some interesting facts about your story or characters.

We will have a new topic or question each week. You can share as much or as little as you like!

This week's topic is: What are your writing goals for 2026?

[sapphire-writes-stuff]

I want to be snarky and say that my goal is to share 0% of the things I actually write in 2026 because no one reads anything I share anyway, but I probably will share a few things, regardless.

My real goal is to finish the first draft of the novel, and to write at least 6 short stories that do not feature the Okamoto-Nelson family (because other characters deserve some airtime too).

I'm probably not going to do any writing challenges. Those stress me out.

[sapphire-writes-stuff]

my brother crossed a fucking line, and I am 100% done.

He tried to kill Sailor. If he'd been able to catch her, he likely would've snapped her neck. And no, I am not exaggerating because he was yelling that he would kill her. I have never seen anyone lose it like that in real life before, and I have seen some shit with the clientele I have. He was mad because she was barking while we were having breakfast, and he just snapped. Our 81 year old father was afraid of him, and I think that scared me even more than what he actually tried to do. I'm not joking, I literally grabbed Sailor and ran out of the room. Our mother said he should apologize to me, and he tried to make it about himself. He tried to blame "anxiety" which is bullshit, because I have a literal diagnosis of Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and I have a temper too when my anxiety is bad, but I have NEVER chosen violence or attacked anyone. It's literal bullshit for someone to blame their mental illness for their bad behaviours. He needs fucking help, but no... somehow this is my fault for not controlling my dogs and for setting him off. Fuck that.

So yeah... I haven't felt like being on here for a while. The girls and I are back at home now, and I told my parents that I'll only go to their place again if I go when he's not there. My mother gets it. She said she understood, which I am grateful for. She told me that she saw him go off like that at his 11 year old son (my nephew) when she was at their house, so I guess this isn't the first time.

Anyway, I'm working on a new short story, so I should have something to post by the weekend (not that anybody reads them, but you know...) I'm still working on the novel, but I got a Switch 2, so I might be gaming more than writing for the next little while.

I'll be back when I'm back.

[sapphire-writes-stuff]

Well... it's been just as bad as I expected it would be.

I did Christmas nails 🎄💅

[sapphire-writes-stuff]

Someone stole my Amazon box. I hope they’re into canine probiotics and enzymes, because they just stole Eden’s lactose intolerance meds 🙃

[sapphire-writes-stuff]

UPDATE: The person who stole my package brought it back! They didn’t give it to me directly, of course. They took it to the landlord, and he dropped it off this evening. He didn’t reveal who took it, but obviously it was somebody from our complex because they likely wouldn’t have given it to the landlord if they’d been a total stranger. They allegedly “took it by accident.” I asked no questions.

The re-order of the medication arrived today too, so now Eden has extra of her meds, and we already got a refund processed for the first one because I figured it was gone for good, so now I feel like we got one for free.

Staff Christmas party was awesome. Did karaoke, got slightly intoxicated, and watched my boss dance the Macarena. We had lamb, and raspberry cake for dessert. One of my co-workers gave me a pink Hello Kitty mini-tree.

EDIT //

I had to come back to check this was English 🤣

The quickest way to get me to stop reading something is to present it in the second-person POV

[sapphire-writes-stuff]

You can buy some cool shit from the internet. I bought an old-school telephone receiver for my Dad for Christmas. It connects via USB-C to a mobile, so he can have “normal” phone conversations like he used to on the house phone. He hates holding his mobile and hates the shape, so I think this will work well for him. I kind of want one for myself, honestly. Once I see how this works out, I might get one for when I do remote work.
