one of my favorite things to do in limited perspective is write sentences about the things someone doesn't do. he doesn't open his eyes. he doesn't reach out. i LOVE sentences like that. if it's describing the narrator, it's a reflection of their desires, something they're holding themselves back from. there's a tension between urge and action. it makes you ask why they wanted or felt compelled to do that, and also why they ultimately didn't. and if it's describing someone else, it tells you about the narrator's expectations. how they perceive that other person or their relationship. what they thought the other person was going to do, or thought the other person should have done, but failed to. negative action sentences are everything.
#this!#writing#I do this a lot#it's such a powerful way to show your characters' emotions without beating readers over the head

Is there a way we can support you financially at this time? Kofi? Pre-orders? What would work best?
People are absolutely welcome to check out my back catalogue of books, but sales are on a two-month delay, so anything you buy now won't help me until February.
I'm not gonna lie - anything would be helpful right now. I'm waiting to hear if I'm approved for unemployment but this is all new to me, I have no idea how long it will take. Paypal is greymichaela and Venmo is tierneyrose.
I do have signed softcover copies of Goalie Tandem that I can offer, if anyone is interested!
#applied to two more jobs today#wrote 1100 words yesterday#spent time with the kids#this sucks but it's nice to actually have brainspace to see my children instead of coming home in tears and collapsing in bed#feel free to reblog#thank you for asking lovely

Sorry you got fired. You’re right, it is shitty to fire someone 2 weeks before Christmas. It seems that you are taking it in stride.
I, for one, am very excited that you are working on something new. The other day I was panicked b/c I thought I didn’t finish Goalie Tandem, then I remembered that I did. lol
Oh, I'm a mess. But I also knew it was coming and I've been ready for a while. I'm applying everywhere I can think of and I figure, in the meantime, I'll take my suddenly free schedule and put it to good use
It's actually a departure for me, not my "brand" or whatever, but it's what I want to write so I hope you guys will want to read it <3

I have good news and bad news
The good news is I got fired
Wait. No. That's the bad news
The good news is now I have time to write
#quite honestly feel it's pretty fucking diabolical to fire someone two weeks before Christmas no matter how badly they're supposedly doing#but what do I know#and I AM writing#but it's not hockey (sorry)#I'm excited about it though and I hope you will be too

my first proper contribution to the sas: rogue heroes tag (apologies if done before)
#rogue heroes#I need this on my blog#y'all please go watch this show so you can cry with me over Paddy Mayne#not me ignoring my life by hyperfixating on a gay man in the 40s

Any knitters looking for some high quality Wollmeise? I have a couple skeins of Lacegarn and some DK, all kept in ziplock bags away from cats.
My account is in the negative, I have rent but nothing else, and I expect to be fired in the next few weeks. If you know anyone interested, please let me know.
More pictures under the cut:

Hi friend!! I’m sorry that you are having such a shitty time at work but I wanted to send you something to make you smile and maybe chuckle (if you haven’t seen it yet.)
My sister sent this to me and I had a good chuckle at it.
*hugs*
They’re so cute. Did you see that Quickie’s son dressed up as Rempe too?

I want to let you know that I see you and a love you. I love your writing. I know that you are doing your best and that you have fought your way up from the bottom. I have followed you for a long time. Try to keep your head up and know that there are many that love you and look up to you (me included).
Messages like this mean so much to me. I don’t know what to say except thank you. All I can see are my failures lately and it’s so hard to look past them. Thank you for reminding me there’s more than that
#I wish I could quit now and write full time#but I have kids who depend on me and rent to pay and I’m already struggling to make ends meet#and there’s no one else I can turn to#if I fail we all suffer#I have no safety net#god I’m just so tired

It sure is fun being told I’m the reason sales are down
#hockey#two breakdowns in the bathroom today#a new record#I’m not being hyperbolic when I say I literally can’t do anything right#the only reason I haven’t been fired is they haven’t trained a replacement#but I think I have about two more weeks and then it’ll happen#I should have known better than to try to make it in a sales position#hockey or not I’m just not cut out for it

Random question, but when I player “moves up or down” on a team, do the fly, drive themselves, or are they bussed? (Like, if the affiliate is close-ish)
I’ve tried to answer this at least three times and I keep getting distracted, sorry!
It depends on the player, if they prefer to fly or drive, but whichever they choose, the club pays for it. (They don’t usually take public buses but I guess they could! Flying is more common if they don’t have their own transportation)
