FolksI Am SO CLOSE To Being Done With The First Draft Of This Dang Story, But I Was So Angry And Annoyed

Folks…I am SO CLOSE to being done with the first draft of this dang story, but I was so angry and annoyed at something else last night that I basically turned on the laptop, stared at the document for a minute, then closed the laptop for the rest of the night. I’m gonna try to knock it out tonight, but I’m working a double shift at my job today so I might just eat a late dinner and call it a day as soon as I get home…

This right here is how you can tell someone is trained in contemporary/modern dance. Because literally every single dancer I know in that style will either dance barefoot, with a modified sock with the ball of the foot cut out, or with a sock that only covers the toes and maybe the ball of their foot 🤣

I can’t believe I haven’t reblogged/recommended this brilliant story on here yet - I literally scrolled through my entire tumblr page trying to find my post about it…only to realize I had literally sent it to all of my discord friends but somehow forgot about this site 😅😅 Whoops!

But my god, what Shanna does so well is world building and believability of her characters. I relate so hard to OC’s feelings of being the “family disappointment” and just falling so hard from what should have been a fairy tale come true because, well…that’s me. I moved away from my family to a big city to follow my dreams of working in theatre (backstage costuming/costume design, not performing). And yet 7 years later I’m still bombarded with job rejection emails, haven’t had a theatre gig since 2016, still working the “part time” retail job that was only supposed to tide me over between shows, desperately trying to be someone my family can be proud of. So reading this story, with those very real feelings she has, really hit home for me.

And it was very real how Hoseok and OC fell out of their friendship. And how communication is key, y’all! It’s very easy for a writer to be like “oh, my protagonist is always right! The other person is wrong! They must apologize!” It’s harder for a writer to have their lead, the voice of their story, realize that he or she was actually wrong, to have to re-evaluate their choices. And that’s what makes this story so special - OC being so blinded by her dreams, her seemingly perfect relationship in her new life that she pushed away anything and anyone that would shatter that belief. I loved seeing them develop their friendship again and then their underlying feelings of MORE. Also loved the deep friendship shown through their entire friend group - it makes me wish I had a group of friends to have a cookie baking contest with for the holidays!

Also goddamn the smut was just top notch. Damn. 🥵

So yeah…long story short, this is a wonderful story about how life can be messy and not what you always dreamed of, but it’s worth it to find the little things that make it worthwhile

A kick-ass screenwriting job for the hottest TV show in LA, an actor boyfriend whose career was taking off and an affordable apartment with not one, but two bathrooms. Fast-forward to now and you’re single, soon-to-be jobless and searching for a way to scrape together January rent. Everything seems to be falling apart, which was why you told your family you weren’t coming home for the holidays. Enter your little sister, Sara, who recently became engaged to her boyfriend, Yoongi and needs you home to celebrate. The biggest problem? Returning home means you’ll be forced to face everything and everyone you left behind, including Yoongi’s best man – and your ex-best friend, Hoseok.

I…..yeah this is entirely correct 🤦🏽‍♀️

what people think writing is: worldbuilding, churning out entire chapters in one sitting, metaphors, character building, finishing novels, flawless plotlines

what writing actually is: random 1 am thoughts, zoning out into fictional worlds, associating songs with characters, writer’s block for six weeks at a time, coming up with plot twists at the most inconvenient times

How in the world is this Jungkook:

The same as THIS JUNGKOOK:

His duality, I swear…..😩😩😩

Okay folks, I keep talking about this story I’m writing, and I figured the maybe 2 people and several bots that actually follow me might be interested in what I’m talking about! I’ve gotten back into writing fanfic recently after many MANY years, so here we gooo (this might also be me trying to be accountable and setting an actual goal to finish/post the dang thing shhhhhhh)

Name - Microcosmos

Pairing - tattoo artist!Jungkook x reader

Genre - AU, romance, angst, fluff

Rating - PG13 for subject matter at LEAST, possibly Mature. There will be cursing and descriptions of: non-consensual events (non-sexual), drinking, being drugged, panic attacks, fear of needles, and healing from mental trauma

Release date - the goal is sometime in August! Life is…difficult lately so as of right now I’m only about 1/2 done writing it 😭

BRIEF summary - After what was supposed to be a chill night out, you wake up with no memories and an ugly tattoo you did not want or ask for. Especially since it is well known you are very afraid of needles. As you heal from that trauma, you meet Jungkook when he is the artist assigned at your appointment to cover the botched tattoo.

Word count - oh god…right now we’re hovering around 16k…so it might be around 30k at the end? 40k?

Anything else? - Please be warned that this fic will have heavy mentions of a non-consensual event (not sexual) that happened under the influence of being drunk and drugged. There are descriptions of the reader, who is the protagonist of the story, having panic attacks directly caused from said event and everything surrounding it. I do not take this subject matter lightly, and I understand if this is too much for someone to handle reading. This is ultimately a story about healing, but in order to heal it needs to be understood what the person is healing FROM.
