Hyperfocus is a very old friend (sometimes foe) of mine, as alluded to many times before in these posts which, face it, probably wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for this propensity I have to hyperfocus because writing is both the target and the outlet of this tendency. If I didn’t channel the fruits of at least some of my areas of hyperfocus into writing, I would probably burst!
For the early part…
I wanna try this One Word Sketch thing that's going around.
Heavy emphasis on T R Y.
My art muses have seemingly completely abandoned me. I feel nothing for (my own) art right now, so this could go anywhere between two extremes. One: It could help me spark my mojo back to life. Or two: I could just get no ideas and this flops majorly.
So, I'm thinking of doing it a wee bit different; Others are doing future sketches, but I want to throw in the past as well. AND, if you want to select a character, you're welcome to!
Meaning, my rules are such;
1: Give me a single word, preferably in my inbox, and I'll t r y to doodle something for it.
2: You may specify a character for the word, as well if it's past or future. The less specific it is, the more I'll take it into my own hands. (Keep in mind there may be a chance that certain words don't work with certain characters.)
Whether I do any given word is up to the amount of inspiration I feel, just as a heads up. Really hoping it's more than nothing. Being museless is EXTREMELY frustrating. ;w;
I'll keep this open until I say I'm done with it, lol.

No one talked about Wembley, after.
When Jamie thinks on it now, months later, his brain accesses some strange empty space, where there’s no sound and no taste and no touch. Just him and the raw, trembling cage of his body, knuckles bruised and tender to the bone. He tries to call out, and his voice doesn’t obey. He tries to close his eyes, and they remain open. He tries to leave, and he can’t, he can’t, he can’t. And he should be alone, right, except there’s a shadow falling across the floor in front of him and he knows it’s coming and there’s nothing he can do to stop it.
He supposes that’s how it felt, in those absent days he’d spent wandering through his life like a ghost, like maybe he’d been killed back in that locker room and no one had thought to tell him. He can’t remember if anybody had said anything to him at the time; he can’t be certain that he would’ve been nice to them if they had. Probably he wouldn’t’ve been. There are some things that don’t let you go, no matter how much you fight them. There are some things that are part of you forever.
So Jamie’d tucked Wembley away. Guts are meant to stay inside, ain’t they? Don’t want them spilled on the ground, staining your dirty, sweat-damp socks through, seeping into your palms till you can’t be sure where they end and you begin. He’d pictured Wembley like that, a blood-soaked cloth, and then he’d put it into his pocket where he can still feel it, sometimes, but nobody else has to look at it.
y'all are gonna be hearing about this one for a long long time. APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE.
