Plans B and C

Alright, that's actually a pretty good idea. You just… thand then the clasp… talk amongst yourselves for a moment while you…

There!

Nyeh!

[[INS+Thrown 2d10 vs. 12. Result 13, Failure by 1 degree]]

Your belt sails past the bars and flops down unceremoniously on the concrete floor, just out of reach. Your pants feel looser. Not by much. This new body is pretty scrawny, all things considered.

And well… at least no one saw you… well, other than the key. But that's not really a "people". At least you hope not. Regardless, the key doesn't have a mouth to tell anyone about this. So that's a releif.

You feel… a little better actually.

Alright alright alright. You're gonna do this. You can do this! You can feel the inner power! You got the eye of the dragon- or whatever it's called. But you're gonna do it because YOU want to, not because the voices in your head are inexplicably piloting you towards an unknown goal!

RODENT-THING TEETH GO?!

[[ARM+Athletics 2d10 vs. 4. Result 11, Failure by 7 degrees]]

You helplessly gnaw on the wall (metal bars) using your teeth, but it is very clear that you, personally, the one in the picture, forgot that that is rats, and that raccoons are actually more closely related to dogs, if modern taxonomy is trustworthy.

Your jaw now sore, you fall back down to the floor, happy that you didn't chip a tooth yet. Still… beats laying helplessly in bed for a few hours.

Well the trouble is finding someone to complain to-

In addition to the person in the doorway looking in at you incredulously, your unsecured pants fall down to reveal a jovially patterned pair of boxers.

This is embarassing.

2024 Writing Plans

There's that old adage about best laid plans going awry, and all I can say is, @ the universe please send me a POSITIVE (read closely, universe, I said POSITIVE) reason why this plan all falls apart. That being said, I broke the year down into the four quarters and tried to plan what I'll be working on each quarter, with aesthetics.

For the first three months of 2024, I plan to return to a reboot of a previous WIP that I wrote, queried, and rewrote and requeried between the years of 2019-2021. It's a dual POV YA contemporary fantasy/paranormal (think like, Lockwood & Co., Supernatural, Stranger Things kind of vibes) about two teens in a beach town with a rich mythology of hauntings who discover that there's more truth to the legends than they ever expected.

In the spring, I hope to return to my secret YA fantasy/dark academia WIP that twists up some well known tropes. I wrote a very messy draft of this in 2023, and I think some will be salvageable, but it's going to be a complicated rewrite for sure.

@ The universe, PLEASE give me a good reason to return to this faster, but either way, in the summer I want to tackle the sequel to OF WHISPERS AND WILDFLOWERS, which will finish off the duology. OWAW is hopefully headed out on sub to editors soon, so fingers crossed this draft will actually be needed and it won't just be me writing it because it makes me sad not to.

Provided I'm not on deadline, in the fall I want to return to NecromancerWIP, the original idea for which I had over 2 years ago and which has still not received an actually good full draft. There have been many shitty drafts, but my boys deserve something better than that, and I hope I can give it to them this year.

Of Will and Wildflowers, a small preview of Part 3

For all those of you who have been so sweet and encouraging with your comments, messages, and ART! (thank you, @reyeslonestar!). I had given up writing for a while but you’ve motivated me to keep going. So here, a TINY piece of the final part. Please let me know if you want me to remove your tag, I just wanted all those I’m thankful to, to know it! @howtosingit, @oquinn53, Alice (tagged above), @mtnofgrace and anons who left me messages! Also @descending-into-the-crazies I've reread your tags so many times it’s criminal so thank you as well!

Mr. Strand,

I hope this letter finds you well, and that your journey home was swift and uneventful. The entire house has been mourning yours and father’s departure since you left us. Mamà is convinced the lights are dimmer without the ambience of your father’s amusing anecdotes. 

Elena has been lamenting the fullness of the house as well. She is easily bored without some new distraction every fortnight, but she swears she will convince you to visit again someday. I dare say we all will thank her if she can manage it.

In deference to our conversation, I will not try. I know you would not appreciate my needling. 

Raquel cannot be bothered with the mundane occurrence of the comings and goings of visitors while she daydreams of castles and knights, so her opinion has not been asked. She still insists on helping Mrs. Smith in the kitchen, and Mamà still insists on having fits about it. 

I must agree with my sister and mother, however. The house is a little less bright these days. Usually we can count upon sunlight and laughter to get us through the day, but those seem fleeting of late. 

Flor misses you as well. She’s ornery when I ride her, as if she remembers a more beloved companion and I do not measure up. We lament your departure together when we meander the grounds. 

Jimena is not often in the stable, so her opinion has not been ascertained either. 

But enough of our melancholy!

How is it to be home? Travel can make us all weary, and you seemed so tired even before you set off. I hope you are feeling better in your own comfortable surroundings. Texas will always welcome you, but I know how good it is to feel your own dirt under your shoes. 

Your friend,

Christina Reyes

13 for the voice ask 💕💕

13) I’ll talk about my favorite character

okay look. i’m like 2 months late buT THATS BC LIFE TOOK OVER AND ALSO I NEVER GET THE CHANCE TO BE ALONE TO RECORD MYSELF RAMBLING so instead of stalling forever and ever i guess i’ll just have to write it all instead of talk about it in an audio clip. 

i already knew who i was gonna talk about when hana sent this ask in. i told you i was gonna do it hana.

anyway if you haven’t yet, you should read oh what a world. you’ll go on a journey

there’s just something about a redemption fic that makes me wanna climb a mountain and scream and hana does it so well. we’re immediately introduced to park jimin - a guy who’s fucked up in all aspects of life. and i was immediately a goner for him when the opening scene is of him with the man who was once his best friend sob sob sob. you can see how much they love each other, but you can also see how far away they are from each other 😭 and he proves time and time again throughout this series that he’s trying to be better. and repair all the bridges he’s burned. and like im already tearing up thinking about how lonely he’s been for so long :((((((( like my baby don’t even got frens to ask to be his groomsmen like wtf is up with that 😭😭😭 and his strained relationship with his brother who hana just had to make taetae and just seeing them slowly mending their relationship just has me in TEARS sob sob (“While neither admit it, the other’s presence is mutually appreciated amidst the vulnerability of the moment.” from pt 11 SOB SOB). when jimin realizes how little he knows about his brother’s life, his friends’ lives because he’s been so stuck in his own head and he doens’t know how to fix it but he wants to try. i mean sera said it best, right? he has good intentions sometimes he gets lost along the way. and then he meets oc and he’s so blindsighted by these feelings for her but he doesn’t even fight it and he’s living with rose tinted glasses and i know a lot of ppl think of him as naive for that but i dunno, that just makes him all that more endearing. in a world where everyone’s so weary and worn down by love, he’s willing to make it his pillar. he wants love to be enough in a world where everyone perceives love as either a weakness or just not enough. like it’s just so glaringly obvious when it’s their turn to make their speeches in ch 12. he’s so hurt but he’s still so in love and all he wants is for oc to see how special she is and how worthy of love she is even if it’s not from him SOB SOB SOB and like in pt 8 at the beginning it says “He makes it easy.” and like, isn’t that just everything??? when a partner makes it so easy to fall :”(((( that was his goal from the beginning though, wasn’t it? evenbefore he started to like her he wanted to make the transition as easily as possible. his first step towards making it right with everyone and everything in his life. and as easily as he made it for her, oc also made it so easy for him 😭😭 and not even @ how he’s always listening to her and remembering all these things about her. and then how he was willing to lose it all for her 😭😭 LIKE THAT PART WHERE HE TELLS HER IN ADVANCE that he’s going to kiss her in pt 12 and even though he thinks he’ll never be enough- could never compare to him (i refuse to type out his name no way not in this jimin love letter) he’s okay with it. because he loves her. because he’s finally gotten a taste of what it’s like to love someone- to really love someone and now he knows how much it hurts but he wouldnt trade it for the world (“One look at you, and he forgets all the reasons the two of you shouldn’t be together. All he can think about is how he felt when you ran through the doors of the waiting room—safe, relieved, and maybe even loved. And the feeling is addictive.” from pt 9 OSB SOB) and i know the reuploads aren’t all up yet so i wont spoil the ending but i just love owaw!jimin so so much and his final decision and his devotion to his family. also jimin prefers waffles to pancakes so obviously he’s my favorite.

in so many chapters we get to witness jimin growing up and grappling with his regrets and moving forward not just for oc and his friends and his brother but for himself. especially for himself and its just so beautiful and he deserves the world and he got it and i love that for him. in this ted talk i will
