Me talking to my characters as I load up my WIPs: If you're not on your worst behavior...get the fuck out!

Challenging blatant misinformation on this website is such a headache lol. "Imagine blindly believing the US government/police/etc etc 🤪🤪" Babe I absolutely do not blindly believe the US gov/police on anything. You're just mad I'm not blindly believing YOU. 🙄

Maybe I'm just a weirdo, but I cannot believe that a queer story means there has to be romance in it. I want characters that just happen to be queer. I also don't think anyone in the book has to talk about the fact that they're queer. They just exist, like queer people in real life do, they just exist in a book. That woman has a wife. That man has a husband. That person is always referred to as they. Queer people in a story can just exist. They can just be part of the ecosystem of a story.

[entirelytoooobsessed]

Was it worth it?

To hold him in your arms in the dark of night?

To swallow his moans into your mouth, responding with your own?

To feel his heels digging into your spine as he pulls you closer, legs trembling around your hips?

To have his nails clawing into your back deep enough to leave marks and reap blood in his wake.

Was it worth it for the pain and the suffering when it was all over?

When he left, gently kissing over your forehead, careful not to disturb your sleep. Muttering an excuse, deaf to all but his own ears, to soothe only his own pain.

He couldn't stay.

Not when he knew you wanted him to stay. Not when he knew he wanted to stay.

Not when he knew you'd tear your heart out and hand it to him on a bloody platter for him to devour as long as he'd be at your side in the morning.

It'd be all the harder to leave in the morning though.

You looked so calm when you slept. So peaceful, devoid of the sorrow in the wrinkle of your brow when you fucked him. Sad even when he was with your arms, cherishing the moment yet counting down the seconds until you'd be ripped apart from your soul again.

Was it worth it?

Probably not.

Definitely not.

But he was the drug and you were the addict, grasping for more even when you knew you should stop.

"Fuck~" to hear him moan and sob under your touch, feel the pain and the pleasure boiling over the top into ecstasy. "Don't stop, please don't stop!"

To look at him, even if he wasn't looking back at you, eyes squeezed shut because unlike you he had some means of self-preservation.

"Harder, harder." Even if he sounded pathetic you knew you were none the better, after all here you were again, waiting at beck and call for him when he wanted another good fuck.

His inner walls squeezing around your length, the sheets under him soaked with his release and nearly ripped from his fist's grip. His body pressed so close against yours you couldn't tell where you stopped and he began.

Meshed so closely together you could be deluded fooled into thinking that you were finally one. One heart. One soul. One body.

But it was a lie. He held your heart and soul and left your body behind every night when he left you.

Your head buries into his neck, hiding the raw emotion spilling over the edge-even if he wasn't looking at you to begin with. His voice a hoarse desperate chant, losing his mind all while being entirely wrapped around you.

"Cum in me, please cum in me. Make me yours, fill me up so full of you I'll never forget it~"

Fuck.

Was it worth it?

No.

well if anyone needs me, I'll be pacing around pretending to give a TEDTalk on my own stories

[iocaisaint]

I think the part I hate more about the HOFAS bonus chapter was actually the morning after. Ignoring IC finding out and the argument/execution talk, I despise that even though a decision had been made and it was supposed to be put to rest. The minute Rhys is away from Feyre he starts taking a go at Nesta because he knows no one else is going to stop him. I hate that Nesta is now magically bound to a court with a man who hates her and her only protection is her younger sister (who is a mother, a high lady and it quite frankly shouldn't be her job).

I despise that this is the first outside look we get into Nesta's life in the NC.... genuinely wtf

[vynnyal]

This is a pretty good point in the wip to share this, methinks :]

Map part for the hole dwelling map, starring... Not my ocs! I wanted to use ocs, but I don't have any-- so I just used the characters from a fic I was reading at the time 😂

Turns out, the symbolism was so much fun to twist into the 11 seconds I had to work with, I ended up going way more complex than I meant to. If you wanna read the fic this was based on, please do!! And tell the author I said hi! :D

WIP: Fictional Flame

You've Got Mail meets Beauty Shop when Paige Dela Cruz, a hairstylist aspiring to open the first Filipino-owned hair salon in the heart of little Winnipeg, falls head over heels for Christian Sato, or so she thought.

Paige Dela Cruz is a hairstylist who falls head over heels for the charming and sexy Christian Sato, or so she thought. She's actually talking to Eddy Silva, Christian's cousin.

While Paige and Eddy's messages become more intimate with each passing text, Eddy finds himself wanting to let go of his facade and show Paige the person he truly is.

As if her love life wasn't complicated enough, Paige faces another threat to her well-being. Her boss, Michael Coward. He takes everything from her - her clients, her tips, and her time. As Paige endures the constant nonsensical wrath of her boss, she begins to doubt if she'll ever be able to open the salon of her dreams.

I've contemplated whether or not I should post this because the more I think about my WIP, the more embarrassed I get which is so bizarre cause I'm over here trying to make it as a romance author. The self-sabotage and imposter syndrome are really sinking in right now which is exactly why I decided to finally share the details of my WIP.

Why did I write this book?

I was a hairstylist for 5 years and met the most amazing (and awful) people in the industry and I wanted to tell a more dramatized version of what happens in this cut-throat world that is hairstyling.

As a Filipino-Canadian living in little Winnipeg, I also wanted to share glimpses of what it's like being raised by immigrants, the food, and the covert racism I've encountered throughout the years.

Lastly, I just wanted to write my own romance because I love love. I love reading and watching love stories. I've always been a hopeless romantic. After my dad died in 2021, I needed some sort of outlet. I started writing a fantasy about a young girl who also lost her dad but then I reached a point where I couldn’t move on cause fantasy was too big for my brain to fathom lol. So I decided to stick to a genre I knew I could do well, and that was romance.

_______________

I feel incredibly vulnerable right now while I type this because I'm BRACING for the criticism and the eye rolls. Not that anyone has ever done that, it's just the aNxIeTy talking. But again, thank you for following me on this journey to become a traditionally published author (crossing my fingers SO hard) and if you're also a romance author and need a critique partner/beta reader, please DM me so we can do a little swap-aroo (I just lost you there, didn't I?)

Here's the sign-up form if you're interested in beta-reading Fictional Flame: https://docs.google.com/

I'm not sure how to end this so in true Canadian fashion, thank you again and sorry for saying thank you so many times. ❤️
