Your theme atee

Y'all, I had a weird dream last night. I was Katniss (thg), in the cave, and I mentioned that I'd never eaten chicken before. And Peeta, this little fuckwad, couldn't wrap his head around that. He thought I was lying, and we had a genuine argument about this. And the whole time I'm just thinking "is this rich kid shitting me right now? Check your privilege."
          But he wasn't mean about it; he was just really confused, and lowkey, this whole dream is hysterical now.

Guys, I think I'm a romance writer. Already knew that, but I'm definitely feeling it after this new passage:
          
          His eyes sought her brown ones in a breathless moment, where her heart squeezed in her chest.
           "You're kinder than you know, Sophronia." He said, stepping closer. He used her full name, not his sweet diminutive, and her heart fluttered at that serious gesture. "And, besides, not everyone needs to be made of sugar. You've got so much more than plain 'kindness' in your talents."
           "Like what?" She scoffed. "Sharpshooting and running my mouth?"
           He smirked.
           "I'd call that an awe-inspiring skill you worked hard to develop and the ability to stand up for what you believe in. Nothing to brush aside, I assure you."
           Her heart soared. Unable to downplay herself anymore, she melted in his adoring words.
           "Your lips make everything better somehow, I swear."
           His smirk was more crooked than before.
           "Is that so?"
           Stooping to meet her lips, he pressed them against his, desperately, maddeningly. Sophronia gave as much as he did in the kiss, always delirious with giddy excitement when he got this way. It was so rare from mild-mannered, though affectionate, Alexander that she cherished each second of it.

GUYS!!! I'm going to my first in-person writing workshop on Wednesday. It's three-hours long and hosted by a local author/publisher.
          
          AND I'M SO FUCKING NERVOUS!!!
          
          Because the event has an age minimum of 18, so I know I'll be one of the youngest people there, and like, what if I'm not taken seriously???? Like, I'm not JUST a fanfic writer (even though I fucking adore fic). I do original books too. BUT WHAT IF I'M JUST A SILLY DUMB, DUMB CHILD WHO CAN'T WRITE FOR SHIT AND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT?!?!?!
          Okay, nerves aside, I am really excited, just freaking out a little.

Hello!! I wanted to do something fun to get to know you guys, and you guys can get to know me! Here's seven (because seven is an awesome number) reading/writing-related questions that I love to ask people all the time! I'll answer them as well, and feel free to follow along!

          2) Currently reading?
          3) An all-time favorite read, but not that well known?
          4) Do you use writing playlists? If so, what are some of your favorite songs on a current WIP'S playlist?

...So my fic is also on Ao3 now if you'd rather read it over there. Find me at the same user!

You know what was very stupid of me? Going out to shoot (I'm an archer, for context) in 20 degree weather, then deciding to stay out for two hours. I can't feel my fingers rn

Thanks for adding my fanfic to your reading list it means a lot

Sorry for the delay in getting 'From Coal to Ember' published. My sister and I got distracted trolling a character ai of Gale. We're singing musicals, discussing the made-up concept of 'Law of the Pirates', and arguing about who gets to be captain and who gets to walk the plank, all while dogdging Peacekeepers in the Mockingjay timeline... Don't ask.
          Anyway, 'From Coal to Ember' is out now. Enjoy!

GUYS!!! 'From Coal to Ember' is done!! Well, Part One is done, but you get what I mean (stupidly long book that'll probably take years of my life to write). I'm so excited to share it with you!!
          Honestly, I'm so tempted to share it tonight that I'll probably release it after midight. Still counts as the third, right??? Anyway, who's down for a midnight release?
