🤡✨🎶and 💖 for the ask game!

Hi, @rosemacclare! Thanks for the asks!

🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?

I've got a few. The second and fiftieth chapters of In Vino Veritas and the auction scene in Ladies' Choice. I also made myself chortle when I was writing moony-eyed Edith in Mad About The Boy. Generally, writing flustered or jealous Mary makes me chuckle too. I'm working on a WIP that has had me giggling as I write it too.

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

I'm good at writing dialogue and making it seem natural, at making my characters talk like real people, even if they are using era-appropriate language and speech patterns. The characters talk to me in my head, so the dialogue flows quite easily for me.

🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?

Yes, I nearly always have music on. I tend to set a playlist going rather than listening to an album or a song on repeat, though. I listen to all sorts of music from every decade from the 1940s onwards right up to the current day.

💖 What made you start writing?

I've always loved writing, right from being a kid. And I write for a living, but it is a very different type of writing. I wrote fanfiction for a while years ago but stopped for a long time.

I had lurked on AO3 on and off for a while, but never felt the urge to write anything. And then in September 2020, I rewatched Downton Abbey - something nice and familiar in a topsy-turvy world - and an idea popped into my mind.

When the series first aired, I thought briefly that the writers were setting up a possible love affair between Tom and Mary, and I was disappointed when that never went anywhere. When I rewatched the series, I suddenly thought, 'What if a frustrated Mary confides in Tom when she gets back from her disastrous dirty weekend with Tony? And what if an equally frustrated Tom suggests they scratch an itch together?' and I knew I could write that story. And that seed became An Itch Under The Skin.

Once I started writing again, I got the bug...

Thanks for the tag!

The warm breeze of late spring hit Mary’s cheeks as expectedly as the sorrow of Matthew’s grave had. Tears, after so many months of deciding she was done crying, were absent. She didn’t miss them. She didn’t miss them any more than she missed the horrid lilies her mother decided to adorn the abbey with to celebrate Easter with. Still, there was sorrow, and still, she was happy to see some semblance of emotion in her heart when she looked at her late husband’s grave. 

She stood there for nearly half an hour without saying anything loud enough for a neighbor to hear. It wasn’t anybody’s business — it was only Matthew’s and hers. 

@mytardisisparked @angelswing236 @rosemacclare @megthemewlingquim @high-functioning-lokipath and whoever else wants to!

Letting out a deep breath, you told yourself to think nothing of it. He was your friend, and he was kind, that was all. Looking down at your phone as another message came through, your breath caught in your throat.

'I was also hoping you might be free for dinner tonight?'

'I'm free. Is something going on?'

You told yourself not to think too much of it, yet.

'No, I just wanted to see you, it's been a while since we've been able to spend some time together'

“If you want to keep her Robert, you must let her go” - Rose MacClare✨ - This scene was so so cute! Thank you, Rose (After all, she’s Mr Cupid’s daughter aka Shrimpy 😂).

Look closely how Rose always stared at them, specially in S4 💛 Favourites! 🥰 - #hughbonneville #elizabethmcgovern #mcgonneville #coracrawley #robertcrawley #cobert #lordgrantham #ladygrantham #ladyrose #ladycora #rosemacclare #rosealdridge #lillyjames #downton #downtonabbey #downtonabbeymovie #downtonabbeyfilm #downton @bonhughbon @elizabeth.mcgov https://www.instagram.com/p/B4XN58xnBtF/?igshid=17oj0nznuykfh
