watch for the sunrise

Lena Luthor, a titan of industry, buys and sells land with mechanical precision. Her life has been reduced to a never-ending cycle of numbers and percentages, her heart now dedicated solely to her brother. Weary and disengaged, she journeys to the heartland of America for yet another sale and purchase of a town. There, she meets a dusty cowboy, brimming with fury and defiance, who refuses to surrender her land without a fight.

Kara Zorel is a fighter, but her existence is one of perpetual struggle. Unending drought, unrelenting debt, and a father who drowns his sorrows in alcohol have left her unable to rest or even keep her head above water on her desolate piece of land. The arrival of a development executive poses a threat to all she holds dear. Driven to despise Lena, Kara finds herself with a choice: succumb to the insurmountable odds or convince this strikingly beautiful woman to reconsider her plans.

Hiii! Just wondering if you're still planning on updating Redeemable at any point? I completely understand life's pull towards different directions and I imagine you have a lot going on right now so I hope you're doing well! Just curious if you plan on finishing or if you're shifting your focus onto other projects?

Honestly, it's so far on the back burner. Life just seems to keep getting busier. Nothing is abandoned, but I have an order of things I'm finishing first. Redeemable isn't at the top of the list, unfortunately. After the last few years from hell, I'm also in grad school and working, so that tends to take up a fair bit of my time and energy. I'm doing well though, and I definitely still remember it and all of my WIPs. I'm more of a GRRM than a Stephan King regarding speed these days!! Hope you have a great day too :)

mom says frowning gives you lines

If you ever find yourself wandering into Rainbow Books, be warned: the owner, Lena Luthor, is not known for her friendly demeanour. She’s irritable, introverted, and seems to have a perpetual scowl etched onto her face. But, if you happen to be an author named Kara Danvers, you just might be in luck. Something about Kara’s charm and energy breaks through Lena’s walls, and suddenly the creaky old bookshop feels a little less lonely. Just don’t mention Lena’s smoking or drinking habits, or her brother’s illness - those are wounds that run deep.

Just as deep as Kara’s search for meaning in a world that seems intent on devouring her success.

Read it here

Complete!

There is no joy like the joy of a writer who has just figured out that a throwaway line they put into the first few paragraphs of a story is actually the key to a major plot point and possibly even the theme underlying the entire thing.

Just…yesssssss.

One must always pay the cheese tax

One thing I’ve learned in life, if you act really self-assured and confident you can pretty much get away with anything.

[assumingminds19]

big fan of characters with abandonment + attachment issues so profound that they leave claw marks in everything they touch but would sooner gnaw off their own leg than admit they just want someone to stay for once. in a totally normal well adjusted and not at all projecting way of course.

6 hour workday maximum i’m not kidding, if it can’t be done in that timeframe it doesn’t need doing.

"wahhhh but the writers strike means some shows will be cancelled" what if we all threw our phones in the lake and lived in a cave and hit each other with sticks for the rest of eternity

[assumingminds19]

“If this hurts my shows I’m gonna riot” “they better not cancel my favorite show” “this is so selfish I NEED this show” “what about my mental health now that they—“

So you agree. Show-writers are important to you and to the industry and should be compensated accordingly for their important work.
