She Who Draws

Someday, I will retire and spend my entire day drawing. Until then, I scratch out what I can.

[shewhodraws]

Here's the latest! I posted yesterday but have been out of range of the internetz since then so I'm just now getting around to posting it here.

I am happy to announce that I am all caught up with Everlark fics! I had a long list since the end of April. Despite my good reason for not reading the fics, I don’t recommend you waiting that long to read them. I am going to implement “Fanfiction Friday” in which no matter what my schedule is like, I must read updates and new stories every Friday. Anyways, here are the rest of the stories that were on my list. I’m sorry it’s so long. Happy reading!

There are some on here I haven't read yet, so I can't wait to read them!! Thanks so much for this (and for including Five to Twelve!)

"And your little dog, too!"

[shewhodraws]

Gah! I had to write this. I don't have a lot--well, any--OTPs outside of THG. Except one. Mass Effect's Garrus and Shepard. Even when they are just friends (as in this story) it's a wonderful, hilarious, damn near perfect friendship.

This happened this week. French policemen threw a “NEGRO Party” and these are some of the pictures a journalist leaked on the Internet. If you’re French look at it. Those are the people paid to protect us. Look at it.

“There’s no racism in Europe! That’s an American problem!”

[king-emare]

i will smack the shit out of each of them

[odinsblog]

Reblogging for my non-U.S. followers who may operate under the mistaken impression that “Europe isn’t as racist as America”…the only reason there aren’t as many black people gunned down by cops in Europe is because Europe doesn’t have America’s gun problem, which I applaud - but if you peep into European prisons you will see the same disproportionately high number of black and brown faces locked up because of a racist criminal ‘justice’ system

[shewhodraws]

Because sometimes, the irony gods are generous.

[alwaysbewoke]

she pointed a gun at a cop and gets to live the story. she would be dead if she was black. fuck all the #alllivesmatter fuckas. #whiteprivilege

[kravemychocolatekurves]

So the officer didn’t fear for his life?

[funkychocolate101]

I guess this officer didn’t feel like he had no other choice but to use his gun.

[shewhodraws]

Well, in fairness to the officer, if she'd been totally sober, unarmed, carrying some skittles in the pocket of her hoodie, wasn't putting children in danger and black, THEN he'd be in fear for his life.

Here we go, Philly.

The manager is like “I can’t comment on that” I kept asking how he planned to handle the matter and he’s like “I can’t comment on that” I asked “is this a common issue? Discriminating against black customers?” And he just stammered. Brush. Keep calling.

[platinumblondeproblem]

i dont think theyre answering at this point

Is five months too long? Seems too long. But it's finally done and now I hafta get back to work because paycheck.

[shewhodraws]

Know how much I want time to write?

I'm taking a week of vacation at the end if the month just so I can stay home and finish 5/2/12. Not going out of town, not taking the family somewhere. Staying. Home. And I deliberately waited until after the kids will be back in school so I can write without being interrupted. It's nearly impossible to write smut when your kids are home. It's like, smut smut smut OMGAWD MOM WHERE ARE MY CLEATS??? Having the kids at home is like MiracleGro for writers block.

Five to Twelve update coming soon.

Bad news/good news. Bad news is that RL is showing a 0% chance of slowing down anytime in the near future. The good news is that, despite all of that, I still manage to write a little bit every few days. I now have the next two chapters in rough draft form. Next chapter is Peeta's POV. He's so stinking cute about Katniss that Rye's about to barf.

[shewhodraws]

I just wanted to say that I love Five to Twelve so much, it's an awesome fic and every day I hope there will be an update alert in my inbox. Please say you're still working on it.

Thanks, I'm so glad you like it! Yes, I'm working on it. It has been slow going...A combination of writers block, my job and my kids' schedule is throwing off my flow. But I haven't dropped it, not by a log shot.

Some new Happy Writer Bun for the writing lovelies out there. Keep writing! You can do it!

More Happy Writer Bun

Ask Sam Writing Questions

[shewhodraws]

Somebody! Anybody! Please prompt me for my next chapter.

Happy New Year, everybody!!!! Here's hoping 2015 bring you all the goodness and loveliness you desire. If any of you have the inclination, I could use a bit of help. I have hit a Five to Twelve writer's roadblock. Several chapters are written or partially written already but before I can get any of them out, I need to write a specific Gadge chapter first. The story requires a Very Special Episode between Madge and Gale. Everything I've tried to write so far, unfortunately, has been ratchet. If anybody has a prompt for how these two lose their virginity to each other, do a gal a favor and let me know. Cheers, blessings and hot chocolate to you all!!!!!

So, my eight year old’s second grade class did posters for an environmental project.  And when I went in for the ‘Special Friend’ day (ie grandparents/parents day) the teacher made sure that we went to go check my sons poster out.  It was one of the ones featured in the hallway.  Everyone that saw it, I’m told, loved it.  He is eight and he does not mince words.  I’m so proud.

[shewhodraws]

Right on. 

[shewhodraws]

Sorry about the long wait but it's FINALLY UP! Real life has been keeping me away from my writing. Things seem to have settled down a little and I've already started working on the next two chapters. Hopefully it won't be another 6 weeks before I post again. 

I still haven't had the time to get to the movies and see MJ Part 1. Have any of you seen it yet? How is it?
