can you guys repost waves as a post on here, I can't read it on the author's blog (the read more redirects it to her blog) because she has white writing on an almost white/pink background and I have terrible eyes.

You can also ask the author to post the story, and let her know that her theme isn't working.

Waves by oceantide78

Romance, Tom heads to Australia to film on the Victorian Coast. He meets single mum Beth and her son and forms a bond with them. 

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6 - Part 7 - Part 8

We haven't yet hyperlinked the rest of her story. You can't get to them, by going to the newest chapters (12 & 13) and hit the PREVIOUS. You can also find this much on the TOM FICS page: http://thfrustration.tumblr.com/tom and that leads you to the alphabetical pages: ACTOR TOM MULTIS S-Z

Happy Reading!

Hi There, Just wanted to say I'm smitten with your writing. I've lost the heart for mine of late - but you've inspired me to continue. I've seen mention of 100 drabble challenge? Are you able to point me in a direction where I can find out more about that? Writing is such a dedicated art and I find it so hard to get into the mind set recently and need a kick up the arse to get back to it again. Would appreciate any feedback you'd have. Cheers :) - oceantide78

Thanks so much. I've never had someone smitten with my writing. Jeeeeeepers, that's very thrilling! 

Oh, no...  we much find yours again. Sometimes, your creative energy needs some time to recharge. So don't force it, eventually your muse will get hungry and start growling for attention. 

I've develped a lot of Tom and Abby's relationship, based on writing challenges. I honestly can't take credit for finding them, I've just adopted them and found my way through them. They aren't easy, and have forced me out of my comfort zone some. 

I did the 30 Day One True Pairing Challenge first. I have a list with all the links to the stories, but I did some substituting a long the way because the challenge just didn't work for me. Trying to find organic reasons for some of these were extremely difficult. KaneVixen / TheOtherCourse 30 Day OTP Complete and the original 30 Day OTP Challenge Link

Because I learned so much writing these two characters and pushing the bounds of what they can endure, I decided to try the 100 Drabble Challenge. There are a total of 101, because there are 2 #55s. I'm just under half way there, but I don't plan on using all of them for Tom and Abby. I'd like to reserve some for my other couples. In fact, I've already written one for TomKat from Stay With Me and once I complete The Course of True Love..., I hope to use a few for Tom and Kristie. A vast majority will be used for Tom and Abby. If you're interested in my standing, here's my tracking: KaneVixen / TheOtherCourse 100 Drabble Challenge WIP

I'm a character driven storyteller, but that doens't work for everyone. Some are more of a plot driven storyteller. I think it really depends on the type of story you want to tell, and where you fall in the spectrum. Feel free to talk at me if you need to talk things out. Sometimes it helps to have an ear to verbalize ideas at. I have a few tumblr friends that I use for that, and it sparks more ideas and bridges gaps in the story.

So find a few writer friends on tumblr, and discuss POV or story arcs or plots or characters, that kind of thing. That can help respark your creativity. Good luck!

Thanks again for reading!
