33 hit today and I've never been one of those people that dislikes their birthday but I'm feeling a bit down today.

I am not as active with my writing and hobbies as I want to be but I'm so tired and stressed from my job which is definitely not as fulfilling as I hoped.

It's nothing to do with the people or even the job itself I'm just not a business or operations person so I feel kind of soulless, like this is not where I want to be at this point in my life. My education is in teaching and writing and I'm not doing either in a meaningful way.

I am a painter and a writer and a teacher, but also I need money to live.

I feel so stuck.

WIP Weekend! The interview because part one wrecked me!!!!

:D

Steve had worried about things like money, and living situations, and getting food. It had all sounded like excuses to Eddie back then. Like Steve was picking the safety of Hawkins and his parents' house over going out into the world to be with Eddie freely.

Your sensory overload snippet is so beautiful and I'm so worried for them!

My vote for the WIP that needs three more sentences is your 'Who did this to you' piece -because that also sounds very intense in the best way! You have a knack for capturing these moments between characters. It's like you've collected a scene in a glass jar for us and we can see everything, turn it in our hands, bring it up close to our face to analyze. Can't wait to see how these turn out!

hhh thank you!! don’t be too worried for them, they’re gonna recharge together in silence and darkness and they’ll be better soon 🥰

and 🥺 hello?? that is the kindest most wonderful thing?? i’m?? 🥺😭 can’t believe you think that about my writing, thank you so much, i’m. hhh. yeah. thanks 🤍

who did this to you? wip

Steve’s just staring. Eddie isn’t even entirely sure he can see him, or maybe he did and then forgot, or maybe he’s fading and Eddie should do something, he should get help, he should—

“Steve,” he says, and dares to touch the boy when he doesn’t react. A hand on their knee shouldn’t make anyone flinch like that, but Steve’s whole body jumps, and then the shivers and the wheezing gets worse, and Eddie curses again. “Fuck, I’m sorry. I’m sorry, I— Jesus, okay. You’re okay. I’m gonna, I’m gonna grab the first aid kit. And a blanket. I’ll be right back, okay? Don’t move, don’t… Don’t move.”

Eddie takes a shaky breath and moves to stand, nearly missing Steve’s mumbled, “Can’t.” It’s barely more than a whisper, hardly even a wheeze. It’s like he’s just breathing out words because everything else is too much effort.

Right. Right. This is messed up and Eddie’s panicking, but Steve will be okay. Because things like this don’t happen, not here, not today, and not to Steve Harrington.

Eddie stumbles over tools and tarp on his way out, heart racing in his chest and hands shaking as he reaches for his car keys.

(it’s more than three sentences but yknow me, i’m wordy when i wanna be! thank you dearest! 🥰)

Hello! For your How to Rehabilitate a Jock and the ask game, questions 1 and 2 if thats okay! Love this story and your newest installment is *chef's kiss*

Oooooo yay!!! You never need to ask if it's okay I'm always psyched to talk about the stuff I write I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying it :DDD

1: What inspired you to write the fic this way?

I'm going to assume this is referring to the back and forth of Steve and Eddie's POVs, because I think that's the only thing that's really not too generic about the way the fic is written. I specifically wanted to do that because I think that they're really telling two different stories here, and I also love to write Steve's POV and def couldn't do that for the JRP moments.

That or the JRP idea is the thing you meant! I had the idea for this as I was writing that installment actually, and then I loved it. I initally had an idea for a Mean Girls style fic, but then it kind of evolved into its own thing :OOOO

2: What scene did you first put down?

Ough that's a really good question. I think that I can really only answer what was the first scene I intentionally wrote for this knowing it would be a full fic? I was just futzing around for a long time with a bunch of ideas but not really seeing how they meshed, so crazy enough the first scene I really "wrote" knowing it was for Jock Rehab was the final scene! it's going to end with quite the upset ;)

TY for the ask!!!

Last sentence tag!

Rules: Post the last sentence you wrote on a WIP (can be from anything, fic, original work, etc) and tag the same number of people as there are words in your sentence. Thank you Jess @strangersteddierthings for the tag, I finally think I have my path through this Halloween AU and I'm so excited to explore and keep working on it for you guys!

It's almost as if Steve is pleading with him, and it's then that Eddie notices what Steve has gripped between his hands. A fucking baseball ball bat, studded with nails that have been haphazardly hammered into the end of it.

So....that's a lot of words and more than one sentence (I'm excited okay?) So I will most likely tag my usual crowd (no pressure!) And anyone else that needs a push to work on their WIP feel free to use this and tag me in it!

Good morning! For the writer asks (if you're still accepting them, no pressure!) 12, 27, 35 😊

Thanks so much for asking!! I am always accepting asks haha

If a genie offered you three writing wishes, what would they be? Btw if you wish for more wishes the genie turns all your current WIPs into Lorem Ipsum, I don’t make the rules

Oh easy. First wish is to be able to easily recall the exact word I'm thinking of without The Struggle. Second wish, that when I hit save and close the document it edits itself for grammar/spelling issues. Third wish, that I will always remember the scenes/dialogue/scenarios that I think of while half asleep or busy that would be BOMB to write, instead of forgetting it.

Who is the most stressful character you’ve ever written? Why?

Keeping the answers blog related, it's Eddie. He's got a Fanon personality because he isn't in the show near enough for us to see who he is when he's not Stressed and Scared. Basically, S4E1 is the only time we see Eddie not stressed, and it's two scenes. It's stressful to write him because he's mostly up to interpretation, but also, I want him to feel like he's the same character that's shown in the show.

What’s your favorite writing rule to smash into smithereens?

I don't know, mostly because I don't really know any 'writing rules' besides ones they told us to avoid in high school English/Language Arts classes. I guess it's the 'Don't Use Parentheses' rule. I use parentheses SO MUCH, especially for characters I decide have ADHD. Because ADHD comes with Extra Thoughts (and what better way to add them?).

UM I am absolutely overwhelmed by the response to my two most recent fic posts, (Steve as a dancer AU and Steve confronting Eddie about the way he treated Lucas) the tags and notes are so lovely thank you everyone!!!

My heart is so full ❤️
