not dead yet

Willa Davidson; 16. "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."

[positively-nate]

Dear Willa,

Merry Christmas and stuff. I’m not sure if it’s weird to you that I’m your secret Santa, since you’re Holly’s best friend and all, but, we’re still kind of friends, right? Anyways, I know you like writing, so I got what a lot of writers have and what some might need. I got some notebooks that aren’t completely boring, and they’re kind of motivational too? I;m shit at writing, can you tell? I also got you some writer’s dice, which gives you lots of random ideas to write about if you get stuck or something. I hope you like them.

Merry Christmas,

Nate.

Slow down, Gingey, we aren’t all geniuses like you, yeah?

[willaspen]

I hardly think that's very genius, Lavelle. But it'll save you a lot of effort.

[simonesderby]

The next time a caroler rings the doorbell, I’m going to take those stupid Santa hats and shove them up their asses.

[willaspen]

You could just not open the door, couldn't you?

Isn’t snow the best? It’s way better than cold rain. Now, that’s a way to start off Christmas.

[willaspen]

Snow is the best, especially when it means snow days. Cold rain has nothing on snow. I think so, too. I can already feel the holiday spirit, as we speak.

[ki-rhee-blog]

I’m still waiting for the snow. I was expecting it to snow today but..[sighs] Maybe you should make a nice cup of hot chocolate, bake or buy Christmas cookies and just sit in a couch and watch all the Christmas specials on TV. I’m sure that will get you in spirit.

[willaspen]

Yes! I want snow so much, it's, like, almost snowed so many times this year. I'm so sick of cold rain, honestly. That's what I intend to do. Maybe I'll just go to the store and buy out the entire Christmas section and be done with it. 

[pitythegirl]

Do any of you have an interest in writing novels that may potentially ruin someone's life?

[pitythegirl]

Oh dear, you were my first choice Willa, what am I going to do now? 

That explains the alias. Though really, this is all so silly. I just don’t want the holidays ruined. 

[willaspen]

Sorry to let you down, Flo. 

It's more than silly. It's downright sadistic, but I don't think there's anything we can do about it at this point. I'm sure the holidays will be fine. We've still got our friends and family and cookies and gifts and things like that. This is just one thing, and I think she's done worse before. It'll be fine.

[duncanarnott]

No, Willa. It’s never too early. And if I hear you say that again, I’m going to force you to watch Elf with me.

[willaspen]

Okay, okay, I get it. I'll shut my mouth. But I kinda wanna watch Elf anyway. 

[ki-rhee-blog]

There’s no such things as too early for Christmas. I mean, it’s…Christmas! Presents, hot chocolate, snow, all the jolly things in life.

[willaspen]

It hasn't even snowed yet! And December just started, y'know? It just feels early, but I think all the Christmas spirit will come to me soon enough. Once I've had enough hot chocolate and cookies. 

[annabethmontgomery-deactivated2]

Ugh.

[willaspen]

My sentiments exactly. 

[pitythegirl]

Do any of you have an interest in writing novels that may potentially ruin someone's life?

You know….for science reasons. 

[willaspen]

Writing a novel for sure, but not that last part. Though I doubt anyone would admit to it, if they did. 

[lunacameron-deactivated20170523]

Yes! I am so ready for this. I’m almost in the Christmas mood and it’s your fault.

[willaspen]

You're welcome, Luna. Don't worry, we'll get all the way there eventually.

[lunacameron-deactivated20170523]

That sounds like the best deal I will ever make in my life. Want to come over to my place? Or?

[willaspen]

Sure. And since I'll probably be in a Christmas-y mood at that point, we should watch whatever Christmas specials are playing, too.

[lunacameron-deactivated20170523]

I would make you Christmas cookies if I was good at baking. However, I do happen to have mad skills when it comes to mixin’ up some hot cocoa.

Are you picking up what I’m throwing down?

[willaspen]

I think I am, Luna. I'll make the cookies if you make the coco. Sound like a deal?

[lunacameron-deactivated20170523]

The holiday spirit tends to hit me when I least expect it. Maybe it’ll hit you at some random point, too.

[willaspen]

Good point. I think maybe it's waiting for some Christmas cookies and hot coco, or something. 

[willaspen]

Absolutely everything on TV right now is Christmas themed, but I don't think I'm quite ready for this level of holiday spirit just yet. Like, I just broke out the sweaters, isn't it too early for the rest of it? 

[serenvollers]

Willa! You know how bad I am at keeping secrets. I’ll have to apply way too much make up just to maintain a straight face.

[willaspen]

I could help you out. You could do, like, a reverse Joker effect. Instead of the creepy clown smile, a static straight face. 

[serenvollers]

I finally got around to making a pump up playlist! The only problem now is that I don’t know whether it should be for the cheerleaders or the volleyballers.

[willaspen]

Does there really need to be two separate playlists? The other team doesn't have to know.
