when I’m inspired to write a particular passage of a future chapter I put it down in my notes app so I don’t forget the phrasing. It helps me track plot details to set up earlier but it also helps me track my hormonal cycle, because around day 12ish I write some INCREDIBLY sappy mushy shit for tommy and sam that literally rots my fucking teeth, and then the moment I hit PMS someone goes through the horrors and the dog metaphor gets INTENSE

#barking #in other words…..creating sort of an endearment lexicon for them #bc I have a weird pet peeve when ppl use random petnames that just aren’t suitable for the characters #Sam’s choices in petnames could be so cute but it’s so hard to imagine some of them in a scouse accent #so until I hear an example we are sticking with the classics #that’s fine tho Tommy is gonna use basically all classics because he’s sophisticated #sam has some cute unique ones in there tho bc he’s a romantic :’)#I gave the silly ones to alfie as throwaway lines bc we all know how he loves a goofy lil nickname #he’s like my garbage disposal of funny words. he gets all of them #not even in a romantic way I just think it’s so funny that British ppl say sausage as an endearment
