Day Forty-three

of @the-wip-project‘s challenge.

Q43: How often to you switch WIPs and do you think that’s a good thing to do?

A43: I used to switch quite a bit. But this ended up in tons of notebooks of unfinished stories or redrafts of scenes I had already written down once as I could not find the first version of that scene. I’m the kind of person who reads one book at a time. Writing multiple wips at once can be good in terms of coming up with ideas. But if I’m avoiding writing a scene in one wip, writing for another wip becomes a form of procrastination for me.

Day sixty-six (66/100)

of @the-wip-project‘s challenge!

Q66: What's the thing that you find super annoying about writing?

A66: Here are the top things that annoy me: 1. That my writing isn’t always able to capture what was/ is in my mind’s eye. 2. That the best ideas and wording often come to me when I’m driving and can’t pull over to write them down. When I do try to write them down, the words on the page never seem as good as how I imagined it in my head. 3. Being interrupted by life. 4. Pain in my hands after writing too much.

It’s a breezy summer day and the rustling from the leaves outside sound like whispers from my small apartment. I’m sitting in front of my laptop, silently studying the 1.6 billion faces speaking simultaneously in front of me. It’s Monday, the day of the weekly conference call between all Muslims. We have been required to attend this Skype meeting from the the tender age of fetus, but I had never spoken in one of them before. 

That changes today. 

“Hey guys, what if…” I start to say. 

Nobody hears me, but I refuse to be silent. How could I show my face again on Tumblr if I couldn’t even save my mayonnaise friends from death? How could I expect to earn their respect? Anon was right; why hadn’t I done this before? Thousands of lives had paid the price for my ignorance, but not anymore.

“What if you guys….. stopped killing people.“ 

Suddenly, silence. 

1,643,398,023 pairs of eyes are on me. My heart is in my throat as the ISIS leader gives me a blank expression. 

A single tear rolls down my cheek. "Please.” I say with a broken voice. 

He is moved. 

“Aight”.

omg! This looks amazing!

“The Switch” is the first transgender sitcom in history starring trans/non-binary lead cast, this is EVERYTHING

Clexa fanfic shit I’m up to...

So, just to check in with all y’all!

I’ve started a follow-up to my canon divergent “Grounded” (you can find the first giant-ass installment, titled “Grounded,” at AO3). Not sure when I’ll start posting or when it’ll be done, but holy hell, this is gonna be FUN.

Also, the Clexa AU “bang shui” is done, ICYMI (also at AO3), and I did decide to do a follow-up to that one, but I’m taking a bit of a break first.

However, as I said at the end of “bang shui” in the notes, I am writing a one-shot that I’ll probably have done in the next month or so (and if you’ve read “bang shui”, you know EXACTLY what this one-shot/smut-shot is all about…lolol).

ALSO, I have ANOTHER Clexa AU in the works that I’ll probably be able to start posting in the next couple of months or so. In that one, Clarke and Lexa are actresses. And that’s all I’m saying. MUAH HA HAHA!!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know what’s going on. Please ask me anything. I love hearing from people. XX!

I got a new job about a year ago. It’s an IT job and part of my job involves supporting desktops running different operating systems. Every morning I log into: wanheda (Linux), heda (windows) and clexa (OSX). They are all running smoothly.
