FAQ for this post:

The trans guy neck hump, or “dowagers hump” is not exclusive to trans men but it is a result of a specific hunching posture trans guys often use to hide their tits. It’s barely noticeable to the average person so it’s not worth getting insecure about, but there are ways to get rid of it. I got rid of mine with lifting/stretching/being more aware of my posture.

Many have noticed that the medical professional is wearing a San Francisco Giants jersey, this is because it’s legendary baseball player Barry Bonds who holds the record for most home runs in a single career, making him the most qualified man for this maneuver.

Six Some Sentences Sunday

Hello dear friends. I hope everyone is doing alright. This year is absolutely racing by. I've been working on Monsters, which ... GOD I am so close to done. I have one more particularly difficult chapter to finish writing, mostly hard because it needs to be short but also contain a good bit of information. Then the rest I really think (HOPE) is going to go fast. I would love to start posting again in May. THIS IS THE GOAL.

I've been aggressively editing the next chapter to get it ready, it was a little bit of a mess but thanks to my exceptional betas I am getting a lot closer to where I want to be. Here is one heart-pounding moment, for your enjoyment.

“Baz?” I ask through the door, smacking the wood with my palm. “If you’re there, let me in.” A long, uncomfortable moment passes. Silence. Remembering how I’d woken from the spell, I clap my hands together. It echoes down the stairs with its force, surely sharp enough to reach his ears. I do it once. Twice. Three times. “Baz, please. Hear me,” I beg, pressing my ear against the door, met only by the deafening rush of my own racing heart. “Heart, please—please, it’s Simon. Please let me in.” More silence. “Fuck,” I rasp, knocking my forehead against the wood.  I’ve never needed a door to reach him. And I will fucking reach him. I turn and rush back down the stairs.

Stitches and Sentences

Thanks for the tag, @thewholelemon! I debated posting today, but your ode to betas got me all up in my feels, so I figured I'd follow suit. Below, find updates on my latest stitches and fandom words, and below the cut, a little preview of my latest sentences, which are not SnowBaz, if you are interested.

STITCHES As I mentioned in my last WIPsday post, I decided to turn my guys from The Watford Writing Center into dolls. This fic was a silly little idea in my WIP folder that I was too busy overthinking for over a year and, had therefore, stalled myself into inaction. I am so glad that @10daysto1k finally gave me the low-pressure and fun structure I needed to get this story told! If you haven't seen the dolls, check them out here!

In other news, I have also started my mermay project, which I am so excited about, even though I am certain my hands will hate me for it eventually. Can you guess who these tails belong to? (And yes, one of these bejeweled booties will be wearing a necklace that would fit right in in a 90's Hollister 😂)

SENTENCES I am attempting to write a novel. Woof. It is much harder than I ever expected. The last several months have just been me puttering around in Docs or in my journal, throwing ideas around and seeing what sticks. It's looked nothing like writing a novel... or maybe depending on who you ask, exactly like writing a novel 😂

In any case, I think I finally hit a breakthrough this week. In Jenny's post, she waxed poetic about betas, and I fully agree! I'd like to credit my lovely betas for helping me push forward on writing a freaking book, because honestly it wouldn't be possible without them. In fact, just this past Friday I talked @thewholelemon's ear off about my challenges and the direction I was thinking about taking. Then @mooncello asked just the right question during our weekly writing date and sent my brain off on the most promising path I've found in ages. More importantly, both my betas have believed in this story even before my boys had names.

And they DO have names. Meet Xavi and Theo, my boys who will serve as foils for each other. I started journaling ideas earlier, so here is a peek at my process and my fan casts of my guys below:

Obviously this is very much a work in progress, but I am hopeful that eventually I will unlock the secret sauce and really hit the ground running. The only sad thing about this is the timing, since today is the last day of spring break and now I have to work instead of dream all day!

Hope you all are enjoying your Sunday, however you are spending it. May you also find inspiration today!

Six Sentence Sunday

Happy Sunday to you! Below the cut: a little bit about writing hey beautiful :) my text fic for 10 Days to 1K; an ode to betas; and six sentences from my CORB fic, which is wildly overdue but thankfully, thankfully, beginning to move.

Guys! I'm so happy I managed to post every day for 10 Days to 1k and complete my fic! I started this fic last summer with the main kernel being the twist in Day 9, but I got completely stuck on getting there. How much back-and-forth should I give them? Should it be completely texting or should it be prose, too? Were my text exchanges serving a purpose or just rambling? What's the point of anything anyway? Hair clutching, despair, and closing the doc always followed that one. I even thought about trying to post it during COC to try to get it out in the world, but it didn't fit well and 30 days would have been way too many.

@10daysto1k gave me the vehicle to move the plot forward and some external structure to get myself to the end. I really don't think I would have ever managed to get this posted without this writing challenge! Very grateful for that push.

This fic was so short and simple that I almost didn't ask anyone to beta it but I'm so glad I failed at that. Beta readers, y'all! People who will read your fic for free and put their finger on exactly the thing that wasn't working that you couldn't quite nail down??? Over and over sometimes? I don't think I'd love writing the same way I do if I was doing it by myself, and I'm so grateful to have people who will tell me they like what I write and also help me be better. It's one of my favorite things, both having people beta my work and reading other people's. If you've trusted me with your writing, know that it meant a lot to me and I loved doing it. And thank you to @monbons, @facewithoutheart, and @raeny-day for helping me bring Simon's chaotic text-base flirting over the finish line. ur no wrong number 2 me :):):)

CORB: it's coming!! A little bit at a time!!!! I was massively stuck on this but I think with a lot of rest and a super gracious partner to support me in reducing the pressure on myself, some things are shaking loose. Below, six sentences exactly, Baz POV, and I'm telling you nothing else for the moment:

“I still think you should have me on a call and leave your phone in your shirt pocket so I can listen in,” Bunce grumbles. “Absolutely not,” I hiss. “That’s weird and creepy.” “It’s research! You’re data-gathering.” “No, that’s spying."

I love when I can bring in canon details and twist them around. We'll see if these survive to the final draft!

Tagging everyone I mention above and you guys too; hope you get to do something today that makes you feel recharged:
