18 and 19 for the writer asks!
Eee, I'm always a-flutter when I get an ask from you!
18. If you keep them, share a deleted sentence or paragraph from a published fic
Oh I keep them. For better or worse, how I keep them.
But yeah, this is from scene in "Too Busy..." that took me actual years to get right, and obviously didn't make the cut:
“Fuck.” Jane agrees. Finishing her coffee, she sets the empty cup into the cup holder and moves around, back into normal position. She doesn’t start the car, though. Instead she looks out the windshield, just a slow sheet of water at this point, then down at her hands on the wheel. “There was a song they played at the wedding, I don’t know if you were still there at that point, but it made me think of you. One of those 80’s songs that practically no one knows the name of, but everyone can sing part of the chorus.” She hesitates a moment, then sings softly, almost shyly. “Every time I see you falling, I get down on my knees and pray…”
Will aspirates his coffee a second time. Jane stops singing and rolls her eyes skyward.
It really doesn't fit with what I wanted, or what I eventually went with, but I do think it's funny when Will fails at drinking.
19. The most interesting topic you've researched for a fic
I answered this one before, but again I can dig a little deeper. I've done a lot of looking at airline flight times between places. (It turns out there is not a direct flight from Prague to DC, but we're going to pretend that there is because I need that.)
Oh, I've also spent a decent amount of time looking into men's high end fashion brands and designers. I don't understand it very well at all, but I know enough now that I can recognize certain names that would have been completely unknown to me a while back (I'm continually aware of Cole Haan now, especially when it comes to shoes).
Thank you so, so much, I love hearing from you! <3
