It happened!!! Thank you guys so much for getting me to this point, I honestly can’t believe it happened this quick, especially since I haven’t posted that much about my original stuff lol. But it’s coming!! I’ve started my OC Introduction in my drafts, so I’ll hopefully try and finish that today and post it either tonight or sometime this weekend.

new writeblr.

Hi guys! My name’s Kass, I’m 24 years old. This is my first attempt at having a place to post some of my original work, something I’ve never done other than fanfiction. (But that’s been years.)

I write mostly lgbt fiction. Both of my characters are girls, one lesbian, one bisexual. One of my wips is science fiction centered around aliens. (I have this rather insane fascination with aliens.) The other is more reality based. 

I started this blog in hopes of having a place to post some of my writing. It’s mostly going to be pieces on two of my original characters that I can just never seem to get out of my head.  I’ve written and created several characters through the years, but I always keep coming back to these two. I’ve written several little ficlets on them based on prompts that I’ve found on Tumblr or online, things to keep me busy while I work on the actual novel involving these two. (there’s actually two different wips with them, it just depends on my mood tbh.)

I’m going to try and post little one shots weekly, if my work schedule allows enough time for the writing and editing of it. And as my wips come along, hopefully I’ll post little tidbits from those as well. But both of those are actually still in the outlining process.

I’m always looking to test my boundaries and get out of my own comfort zone when it comes to writing, and I’m hoping that Tumblr will be a way to help me grow.

Honestly, I’m a little shy, and doing this is very much out of my comfort zone, but if I want to try and make writing a career, I know I’m very much going to have to live outside of my comfort zone, so here I am! I am excited to become more apart of the writing community and meeting new writers. So if anyone wants to chat, writing or otherwise, my askbox is always open! I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read this and maybe reblogs it around a little bit!

Oh dang my dudes, I hit 100 followers!! Unbelievable! It’s crazy that this has happened in such a short amount of time, and I’m honestly so grateful for it. Thank you guys so much! I’ve had my personal tumblr for several years and only just recently passed 100 followers, so this is totally blowing my mind. 

I’m going to try and upload some character bios/character sheets if I can find one that’s basic enough and doesn’t give too much away lol. If any of you guys have any good questionnaires for characters let me know, and I’ll try and put up some character stuff from my Pirate WIP asap.

Thanks again, my dudes!!!

Today is gonna be a doozy, guys. Yikes.

This is a direct follow up to this piece I posted. Hope you guys enjoy! I actually wrote this one awhile ago, so I hope it still stands up lol

“It’s so cold and my mouth is numb, you should kiss me before we get frostbite.”

---

It was their last day on the mountain before they had to go back home to California. Brooke was a little sad about it, the thought of having to get back to normal life and reality after this amazing getaway made her never want to leave. That was eased somewhat, by knowing that at least she wouldn’t have to leave Avery. They didn’t live right next door to each other, but they did live close enough that they would get to see each other often so that it wouldn’t even be a big deal.

To commemorate the trip, she and Avery decided, stupidly, to take a walk around the mountain to try and enjoy the last of the cold weather they’d feel for awhile. What they hadn’t anticipated was exactly how cold it was going to be, and they certainly didn’t think to look to see if it was going to be snowing or not. So now they were fighting through the snow trying to get back to their cabin and laughing like maniacs the whole time.

“This is the last time I let you talk me into something like this.” Brooke giggled and nudged Avery playfully.

“Aw, hey, you wanted to do this just as much as I did.” She reminded her with a grin. “This was our last chance to see the mountain before our flight in the morning.”

“Well, yeah, but I didn’t want to get frostbite in the process.” She laughed, the wind freezing her to the core, but still managing to enjoy it with Avery.

“Well, I mean once we get back to the cabin I’d have no problem if you wanted me to help warm you up or something.” She shrugged casually, but Brooke could easily see that smirk that was across her face.

“Oh, yeah, I’m sure you’d be willing to. We’ll see, I’m not very happy with you for talking me into this.” She was kidding, of course, but it was just so much fun to mess around and joke with Avery because she was so easy to laugh with and her sense of humor came so naturally.

“Fine, then, freeze to death, see if I care.”

Brooke rolled her eyes before shoving Avery again, making Avery cackle. But once she stepped back towards her, Brooke wrapped her arm around Avery’s and pulled her closer.

“It’s a good thing you’re cute.” Brooke told her, smiling.

“Funny, that’s what my mom tells me.” Brooke just laughed. Avery was such a dork.

Finally, finally, they made it back to their empty cabin. They trudged inside, shivering, but deliriously happy, especially once they slammed the door behind them leaving them in the warm, heater filled room.

“Ugh, thank God.” Brooke groaned. “Nice to be in a heated building again. And with no frostbite.”

“Hmm.” Avery muttered licking her lips a little. “I think my lips may have frostbite. You might need to kiss me to warm them up.”

Brooke just gave her a look as Avery grinned stupidly at her. “That was lame, even for you.”

Avery didn’t waver. “Is that a no then?”

Brooke just rolled her eyes but stomped over to give Avery a little peck just to satisfy her, but she certainly should have known better, because the second she started to back up, Avery’s hands were on her hips, pulling her in for a deeper, longer kiss.

Her lips were cold and scratchy, but her breath was warm and tasted like the apple cider they had a little while ago. It was impossible for Brooke not to melt into it. She had only known Avery for a little over a week, but she already felt like she could be completely comfortable around the girl. She didn’t even feel that comfortable around some of her friends, but with Avery they just clicked so naturally. And a romantic relationship was something they slid into so easily.

Two weeks ago Brooke was looking forward to a fun vacation with her friends, the last thing she expected was to meet someone like Avery, and to fall so hard for her at that in such a short amount of time. Everything melded so perfectly for them and she couldn’t help but look forward to what going back home to California would bring them. She was excited to see how things with Avery played out.

She pulled away after a few moments because she just couldn’t stop smiling. Avery just smirked at her and wrapped her arms all the way around Brooke’s waist and squeezed her tightly against her.

“I know I’m a good kisser and everything, but I didn’t think it warranted cheesing so hard.”

Brooke rolled her eyes and kicked her playfully, making Avery laugh and kiss her quickly once more.

“You’re such an asshole. As soon as we get back to California, I want nothing to do with you.” Brooke joked, playfully squirming away from Avery.

“Oh, really? Can’t handle the truth, I see?” She grinned, and fought back by lifting Brooke over her shoulder, making her squeal and laugh.

“Let me go!” She giggled madly as Avery twirled around in circle’s before finally dropping her onto the bed in a fit of laughter and climbing on top of her. “Like I said, you’re such an asshole.”

Avery just smirked and leaned down once again to kiss her and silence her laughter, both of them looking forward to the adventures the future in California were going to bring them.

Of all the rather reasonably priced laptops out there that I can use for writing purposes, why do I only want to buy the most expensive one possible?? Like, do I truly need a $1500 MacBook just for writing?? No!! Do I want it?? Yes!!!

Curse you, Apple. 

Also curse my dumb ass for wanting things that I could never afford. 

[itskassidywrites]

My desk is an absolute disaster and I really need to do something about it but I am just SO. TIRED.

“My friends want to skate/ski/snowboard but I don’t know how, can you help me?”

---

This was supposed to be a fun, care free weekend in the mountains, filled with laughter, good food and not worrying about anything for a couple weeks. But no, her stupid friends had to be adventurous and want to try something that Brooke has never actually done, nor shown any interest in before.

Snowboarding.

She grimaced at the thought of the utter pain that she was going to find herself in if she couldn’t talk her friends out of this ridiculous idea. This could be disastrous for someone like Brooke, who never included herself in any sort of sports activity for the sheer reason that she tended to be accident prone and basically did not want to end up with broken legs or a broken neck or broken anything for that matter. She was perfectly content with just staying in her cabin while her friends go did their snowboarding/skiing thing, but they insisted that she come with them. So now she was stuck and will most likely end up in an ambulance when this was all said and done.

She was determined not to make a complete fool of herself though, so she managed to sneak away from her friends so she could go rent a snowboard and damn well teach herself how to do it or at least look like she could handle a simple task of riding at least a few feet of snow.

Unfortunately that was easier said than done. It was hard to move in all the layers she was wearing, and the goggles that they made her wear made it hard to see and the snow was just so fucking slippery, and it was hard enough to walk on the damn stuff, let alone ride a stupid board on it.

Despite all that, and her tremendous anxiety over this, she got herself out on the mountain, a safe part of the mountain that the kids usually used for lessons. But it was even harder than she thought it would be, and she hadn’t even gotten the stupid straps on her feet before she fell on her ass. She kept trying though, and even managed to move a few feet before falling again.

Frustrated with herself, she kicked the board off her feet and away from her and just decided to pout for a little while, just because.

That was when she noticed a group behind her, that seemed to actually know what they were doing on these stupid boards. In fact, they were really good, and they had the attention of a few onlookers that were straggling about. Brooke envied them, they made it look so easy, she just didn’t understand and it was driving her nuts.

She watched them for a little while, as each of them went back and forth with tricks and whatever they were doing, before she became discouraged and decided to focus on her own issue. But after a few moments she heard the sound of snow crunching, coming closer to her, and when she looked up she saw that one of them had broken off from the rest of the group to come wander over towards her.

“Hey,” She greeted, glancing towards the snowboard that laid sadly a few feet in front of Brooke. “Y’know, that works better if it’s on your feet.”

Brooke scoffed and shook her head. “Not my feet. I think I make it look bad.”

“Aw, come on, you can’t be that bad.” The girl grinned and flipped up her goggles over her helmet. Brooke had to stop herself from staring at the sight of this strange girls grinning face, she had that kinda smile that was just the perfect mix of cocky and playful and it had Brooke’s stomach doing a sharp twist at the sight of it.

“Oh, trust me, I can be.” She retorted. “The only reason I’m trying is because I don’t wanna look like a complete idiot in front of my stupid, adventurous friends.”

“I think you’re exaggerating, come on, show me what you got. Maybe I can help you out.”

Brooke didn’t bother asking why, because when a girl as pretty as this girl was willingly paying attention to you, you don’t ask questions, you go with flow, and whatever happens, happens. Brooke certainly wasn’t gonna pass this chance up, she might as well find something enjoyable out of this whole ridiculous situation. Even if she knew she was gonna fuck up so bad in front of this girl with her extreme clumsiness, so she certainly hoped this would be worth it.

She hesitantly strapped the board back to her feet, and insisted that the girl helped her stand up, she obliged, but it looked like she kinda wanted to see how bad Brooke really was.

“Try not to laugh too hard, kay? This could get ugly.”

Just barely after the words were out of her mouth, the board slipped under her and she nearly went tumbling down, but thankfully, Avery hadn’t let go yet and managed to balance her, despite giggling madly at her, which Brooke could only roll her eyes, not particularly surprised at the reaction.

“Well, okay. I guess you weren’t exaggerating.” She smirked, making Brooke laugh a little bit. “How about some help, huh? Free of charge.”

Now Brooke couldn’t help herself. “And why would you do that? You don’t even know me.”

Avery just shrugged. “Well, I mean, I would hate for you to embarrass yourself too much in front of your friends. And because I’m such a nice person and you desperately need help.”

Brooke laughed, shaking her head, completely charmed by this stranger, but determined to do her best to keep up with the girl as much as she could. She tended to be pretty good at this whole flirting thing too, and she definitely wanted this to be a two way street.

“Well, I suppose I can’t pass up such a nice offer, so why not. As long as you promise to help me and not just laugh at me.”

“Can’t I do both?”

Okay, she had that one coming, and she obviously couldn’t hold back the laugh that bubbled out her lips. This girl was so much fun and Brooke couldn’t understand why she had approached her in the first place. But she was glad she did, she would certainly make this whole ordeal more interesting, hopefully in more ways than one.

“Alright, alright, very funny. You gonna help me or what?”

The girl nodded. “Okay, okay, I got ya. I’m Avery, by the way”

“Brooke.” She told her with a small smirk. “Alright, show me what ya got.”

Avery nodded. “Alright, now look, your stance is crap, honestly. No offense or anything, but if you’re standing like you’re gonna fall all the time, you’re gonna fall.”

Brooke shrugged. “Fair enough.”

This went on for awhile, the girl making sarcastic remarks, but actually managing to help Brooke out more than she thought she would. Brooke didn’t think she was capable of actually being able to stand on the stupid board for more than a minute, but this girl managed to get her to ride down a whole hill and even manage to stop without falling. But then Brooke got so excited at this, she fell over as she laughed. Avery skidded to a stop next to her, grinning, and looking like a proud teacher.

“See? You got it. Nothing to it.”

“Oh, come one, if you hadn’t come along I’d have been out here all night trying to work up the courage just to stand up.” She grinned, finally calming down from her laughing fit, unbuckling the board from her feet and tossing it to the side as Avery plopped next to her. “Why did you come help a poor non-snowboarding loser like me anyways?”

Avery shrugged a little bit, slightly hesitant now. “I just saw you chilling, figured I’d see what’s up.”

“So you just approach random strangers on mountains at a resort that has thousands of people around here?”

Avery laughed. “I don’t make a habit of it, I guess you just caught me on a good day. Besides, I’ve only been here two weeks anyways.”

Slightly surprised, because Brooke had pegged her for a local with her knowledge of snowboarding and the mountain. “You’re visiting? I kind of assumed that you were from around here.”

“Well, I’ve come here every year with my family since I was a kid. The mountain doesn’t change much. I’m actually from California.”

“Really? Me too! Where?”

Avery grinned over at her, pleasantly surprised. “San Clemente. SoCal.”

“Oh, wow. I’m from Anaheim. You’re only like, an hour away from me. How weird.”

“Super weird. Maybe we’ll have to hang out sometime back home. You ever try surfing? I hear I’m a pretty good teacher.”

Brooke grinned and rolled her eyes. “Don’t even go there, but it might be fun to see how good of a surfer you are.”

Avery smirked at her, and Brooke found herself staring intently at the girl, this weird connection forming between them that neither of them could understand, but Brooke didn’t really care. She liked Avery, there was plenty of time to get to know her.

They were interrupted a few moments later by Avery’s friends shouting for her, something about getting some food, and Brooke knew she would have to get back to her cabin before her own friends started getting suspicious of her whereabouts.

“Well, hey,” Avery spoke up on their climb back up. “I’m in cabin 36, if you wanna come hang out later.”

Brooke smirked over at her at the suggestion, somehow knowing that this wasn’t finished between them. Not even close. This was just getting started.
