Now Playing Tracks

I once dated a writer

Writers are forgetful,

but they remember everything.
They forget appointments and anniversaries,
but remember what you wore,
how you smelled,
on your first date…
They remember every story you’ve ever told them -
like ever,
but forget what you’ve just said.
They don’t remember to water the plants
or take out the trash,
but they don’t forget how
to make you laugh.

Writers are forgetful
because
they’re busy
remembering
the important things.

questions of irregular-pioneer:

1.) Butts or butts?

Hmmmm…..tough one. Definitely Butts. But I guess lowercase butts are all right, too… :P

2.) Do you flush the toilet while you’re still on the toilet?

THE FUCK WHO DOES THAT

3.) What’s your favorite book?

Oh, goodness….I don’t know. Maybe Hero? Maybe a Laurie Halse Anderson? I don’t know…Being by Kevin Brooks or Lucas or Kissing the Rain? Geez, this is hard…

4.) How alive is your favorite fictional character?

Uh…we fall asleep in deep conversation just about every night lol Sometimes we have grand sleepovers of all my favorites! Those discussions get pretty interesting…

5.) That was a joke, none of your favorite characters are alive, whatchu gonna do about it?

6.) On a scale of 1 to John Watson, how in love with your best friend are you?

Uhm…only mildly, maybe a 3. Best friends get that category because of my innate ability to fall in love with them, sadly.

7.) OTP?

STONY!

8.) notp?

Ugh. Thorki, ewww

9.) “honey, i got a movie at walmart, do you want to watch it with me?”- jody bone

6.  Write me a 6 word story because WHY NOT.

10. There’s this really cute guy at Publix and I wish I could just go see him. ADVICE ME!

11. Do I really have to tag 11 people?

I have finished my book. (The first “draft” anyway.) It’s at a whopping 80,473 words. I have so much story, and I don’t know what to do with it. Do I have someone read it? Do I start the editing process? Yes, and yes?

If you’re interested in reading a literary/science fiction novel that pokes and prods at the “hot button” contemporary issues of sexual orientation and environmentalism (and some other things, just to name a few), particularly dealing with lives of teenagers, I’ve got a love story that needs some lovin’.

No, seriously. Hit me up if you’re any kind of interested. I really don’t know what to do next.

Stony. PG - thematic elements. 1370 words. Enjoy!

This one was particularly…challenging. It hit a nerve deep beneath the surface, struck a wealthy well hidden in a creative vein, and now, regrettably, I must inform you that this prompt isn’t answered simply. So, while this song begins the looping shuffle in the back of your mind, I bring to you part one of The Genius and The Patriot. (All of these will be found under the tag #geniusandthepatriot.)

I thank you anon for this prompt. I hope you (and everyone else) will enjoy this series as much I do!
