"Stabbing Daddy Caesar Like The Salad"

... I'm not sure I should explain.

An ask for the Summertime Writer's thingy 💙

🌤 name the hardest thing you've had to do for writing

Heyo!

Hmm, that's a hard one because usually if something's hard I just don't do it. Sure there's been the delving down too many rabbit holes' worth of research, but that's not exactly hard.

The thing that springs to mind is also how I found out exactly how bad my phobia of needles ran - and the fic never got finished or published after all that, either, which is actually annoying.

So, basically, for this now long-abandoned wip for a fandom I haven't touched in years, there was a scene where a character needed a blood test done. Now, at that point in my life, I had avoided blood tests like the plague and never had one (I've been terrified of needles for as long as I can remember and yes, through my teenage years/early 20s that was an active detriment as I refused literally every vaccination bar one and also never went to the doc about things I should've done because I feared getting sent for a blood test - as an adult I've since just bit the damn bullet, but at the time of writing this fic I was twenty-ish and still in my Avoid Everything Needles No Matter How Much It Screws My Health Over mode, which, seriously, do not do. Don't be teenage Tsari). Don't ask me why I was determined that this fic needed not only a blood test scene, but also one written in detail, but I was, and having no idea what blood tests entailed, that meant one thing: research.

Cue the discovery that even the sight of a picture of a needle could send me into a panic attack.

I perservered and got that scene written but... yeah. That was rough.

Summertime Writer's Asks!

Sending a "Weird Questions for Writers (because writers are weird)" ask~

24. How much prep work do you put into your stories? What does that look like for you? Do you enjoy this part or do you just want to get on with it?

*zooms away again~*💙

Hello! From this list here. Ask me things?

24. How much prep work do you put into your stories? What does that look like for you? Do you enjoy this part or do you just want to get on with it?

*admits* I don't prep; I just write and see where it goes. I am not very good at fleshing out full plots of stories or action and so I tend to gravitate towards moments in time, or deep character studies, or sinking way too deep in to imagery (thanks, Virgil). For that I may have started with an image in my head that I just need to get out - I can't art to save my life unfortunately, so I'll start with capturing those descriptions in my head.

I edit as I go.

There are a few more reasons I write like this 1) I do way too much of planning and prep in my day-to-day job and 2) I actually came back to the fandom after leaving for about 10 years and I haven't written literally anything since my college years - so it's been maybe about the same...

I've been dipping my toes in, writing for exercise mostly. That's why Scenes was a little chaotic if you read it in full now (but I kind of like it that way).

It has worked for me so far - and if I have an idea that tends to need more fleshing out, my process is to bullet pt a few key things at the top of my working word doc and I'll go from there.

I also verbally brainstorm a lot with my husband when we go out to dinner, so I have ideas for Voyage, but nothing is "storyboarded" so to speak. I did try that and it didn't work because i kind of wrote what I wanted as I went.

don't zoom away! I like friends. Come back anytime!

Incomiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing Asssssssssssssssk~ 💙 From Weird Questions for Writers (because writers are weird):

10. Has a piece of writing ever “haunted” you? Has your own writing haunted you? What does that mean to you?

16. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever used as a bookmark?

29. Where do you draw your inspiration? What do you do when the inspiration well runs dry?

Wheeee~ *stealths away again* 💙

Helloooooooooo! 💙

10. I will not tell a lie, most of my earlier fics from when I was like 12/13 and I hated AO3 with a passion and would exclusively only post on FFN and I spelled characters names wrong because I'd only ever heard them never seen them written before fic and "didn't want people to think I was copying them" those... they haunt me... 😂

16. A weird thing for me to use as a bookmark would be an actual bookmark if I'm honest 😂 But I used the corner from a bag of sweets once, and also my face because I fell asleep reading 😂

29. I think I've told you this one before! 😂 but I look up prompts lists and read through them with no particular idea in mind until one of them grabs me and (there's no other better way to describe it than this so I'm sorry if it sounds strange but) a scene just kind of unfolds in my head, that's where about 95% of the minis came from!

Thank youuuuuuuu for asking!! 💙 (No stealthing from me, I know the call to find you: Wanna read a weird snippet I wrote on my break? 😂)

Still taking questions but will probably answer in the morning now!
