Constantly trying to convince myself that the real world is almost as good as fictional ones.

I like cop shows, and occasionally commandeer them for my own purposes on AO3 https://archiveofourown.org/users/FairyTaleTrainWreck
Chapter 55 is up! It’s not great, but it’s words 📖 🏈 🚔

Sneak peek for the next chapter:

“Stella gave her a thumbs down.”

“Her purpose in life couldn’t be measured only by what she got out of it; Hailey needed to remember that she had a lot to offer, as well.”

“Aw, you two are so romantic. Couple goals, for sure.”

I’m nearly done rereading Still Holding My Hand, and I’m so into it. I’m like, “I can’t wait to find out what happens next!”

And then I remember that I have to come up with what happens next 😂

What an honor and a burden! Hoping for inspiration to hit soon. Those two deserve it.

So I’ve been rereading Still Holding My Hand, and it’s reminded me of why I wrote it in the first place. Because there was a story I wanted to read so badly. I searched for it high and low, multiple forums, and it was nowhere to be found. It existed only in my head. So I wrote it.

And for those of you still waiting on an update for Still Holding My Hand, please be patient with me 🫨 My plan is to take a little breather, and then reread it to make sure I’m in the correct headspace. It’s coming, but not soon. I’m sorry.

I love writing, but it takes effort and time. I’m not done

Also, this was the dress I was picturing. If that aids anyone in their reading process

That’s all there is. There is no more.

Chapter 19 is up. I’m sad. I’m so grateful for the four of you who are still reading it.

Thank you and happy reading!

I was hoping to work on/finish The End of Beginning this week, but there have been *people* at my house, and my poor little introverted brain is fried. I’m still hoping to make some progress, but no idea when it’ll be ready to post.

I’m a decent way through the next chapter of #TEoB, and I’m pretty sure it’ll be the next to last one 🙁

I’m stealing a bit more inspiration from the end of season eleven and calling it ‘More.’

In the last two days, I’ve witnessed two separate ~80 year old men (a husband and a father) spend hours standing at the bedside of a sick loved one in the ICU. Neither would even sit. Literally stood vigil, moving only to allow staff to do their work. And I just can’t imagine that kind of love.

I’ve been pretty uninspired lately, but I forced myself to write this week and have almost 1500 words. Slow and steady, I guess.

“But, of course, it wasn’t that simple. As much as she tried, it was impossible to split her life up into Before and After. The Good and the Not So Good. There was balance to be had no matter where she found herself.”

“That was the first time he noticed it: her ability to compartmentalize her pain. That she wasn’t as aloof and unfeeling as she tried to portray. She was just selective about who saw that side of her. And for reasons Jay couldn’t fully comprehend, she was allowing him a glimpse.”

Why are so many fanfic writers under the impression that heart monitors beep continually? Can you imagine how irritating that would be? Patients and staff alike would be pulling their hair out within thirty minutes 🩻

Next chapter is up! I really like this one, and I hope you do, too. I even had trouble falling asleep a few nights because my mind was so excited about writing the next part. That’s normal behavior, right?

“Nothing filled him with a sense of satisfaction like passing a few hours with her. Every moment they spent together was a respite from the very real, very adult problems he had been dealing with. They didn’t completely vanish in her presence, but they certainly felt less ominous.”

“It’s been so nice lately, you know? Just existing with you in this new version of us. But I guess… I guess at some point we are going to have to address what happened, if we’re going to really move past it.”

This next chapter is going to take forever to write if I keep spending hours on Zillow doing “research” to find Jay’s apartment
