#now write!

[writingwhatwriting]

The desire to write is connected to the desire to evolve or resolve something in our lives that we don't yet fully understand.

Ack!

I love my beebees.

I'm like 97% happy with the outcome of Cobert tonight. The three percent is my usual regret that they don't get frisky on screen. ALAS.

But really? The part where Robert stomps around petulantly needed to be nipped in the bud. And Cora handled it just right. She didn't do anything wrong and Robert's insistence that how is he supposed to know she didn't WANT to cheat on him was just lame. Cora was like "babe, i know where all your bodies are buried so don't even." It took him roughly 5.3 seconds to realize she was right.

There is still a larger issue at play that may or may not actually be addressed. That is Robert's dismissive behavior of Cora and I'm pretty sure even if he never addresses it outright, he'll definitely start acting better.

Let's be frank. I'd rather read the good fanfic versions of how the night in that room plays out because it's going to be way better - not to mention more naked - than anything we'd get on the show.

(as an aside, I feel bad for Edith and all but mostly I'm just pissed at how her behavior is unfair to Cora. Don't just steal a grandbaby back and not give her the chance to love it. GOD EDITH.)

Muse Monday 2 - The Character of Setting

Muse Monday 2 – The Character of Setting

Hello! I’m back for another Muse Monday post! Since my plan is to place these stories in the same setting, I thought I would work from a writing prompt based on Setting. I am using one from the book Now Write!called “The Character of Setting.” Which says: “Think of one long paragraph. Introduce the character in the first sentence, and then describe the setting. Return to the character only at the…

Introducing Muse Monday!

The time is here, the time is now! I have figured out what to do with Mondays! The votes are in, the planning is together, and lo and behold – my writing blog will have some writing going on!

Thus, my new Feature – Muse Monday! I am pulling together a few different ideas I’ve had and, now that I have been pulling off Features (mostly), I think upping the game sounds good. So one writing idea I’ve…

Specific!Prompt

On his way to Haru's house, Makoto finds the white kitten he usually plays with dead and being picked on by crows. He frantically quickly shoes them away and with trembling fingers picks up the cat gingerly and takes him home where he buries her next to his goldfish, crying.

He doesn't go to school that day, but sends a text to the others, informing them that he doesn't feel well and isn't going to school or swimming practice. He throws up several times that night and is unable to eat or sleep much. The next day though, despite waking up late and feeling like shit, he goes to school, brushing off his parents concern when they question his disheveled appearance and red eyes.

When he arrives to class twenty minutes late he mumbles a quiet apology and bows. His teacher, noticing his somber appearance lets him go to his seat with just a nod. Haru gives him a long look, sensing something is off, but Makoto doesn't look at him and just sits. Throughout the whole class, he just sits there and looks at his desk. He doesn't bother to take out his textbook or pencils or anything. When it's lunch he just excuses himself quickly to the bathroom before Haru can ask anything. He bumps into someone along the way, a buff third year, and though he whispers a quick apology the guy doesn't let him go and grabs him by his tie and tells him to give him money if he's really sorry.

And Makoto has nothing on him, not even his lunch, and he apologizes again, tears welling up in his eyes, because he really can't deal with something like this right now; he just wants to go to the bathroom and mourn the death of his favorite stray cat, he didn't mean to bother anyone.

But just as the guy pulls back to punch him, Haru shows up and stops the guy from going any further. The third year leaves with a 'tsk' and Haru pulls Makoto into a bathroom, and demands him to tell him what's wrong. Makoto doesn't look at him, not wanting to cry, but Haru gently lifts his chin and asks him again, this time more softly, and Makoto breaks down and cry and tells him that 'yuki' has died and that he found him dead the day before.

And Haru holds him tightly, and murmurs something. And when Makoto sniffs and asks him to repeat it, Haru grabs his wrist and tells him that they're skipping school.

And whatever happens after that is up to you.
