Jen's Proper Pinned Post

  • Jen, old, she/her, UK
  • Current obsessions: see posts below this one I guess?
  • Will block a blank blog on sight. You got no posts? Blocked.
  • Anxiety haver, depression survivor (the Really Bad Kind - I promise you can get through it), dyspraxic, dreamer, cautious optimist
  • Phobic of spiders, heights, enclosed spaces, and WiP fics
  • AO3, imaginentertain
  • No longer on the bird app
  • Insta is mine so unless you really know me... no.

I like the divide between there and here, mostly because this has some vestiges of anonimity for me here. And because I have the kind of job where I'm not allowed to express (public) views on a lot of things.

So if you've ever had the thought of "why isn't Jen talking about..." then a) please realise that no one has an obligation to talk about anything and might just honestly be out looking for a good time as they know they are blessed to be in a position to do that, and b) some of us can't. Because while this is mildly anonymous it isn't for anyone who wants to find me and I have no desire to lose my job because I reblogged one (1) post on That Thing.

And if you're looking for the Ringsy storyline link post, that is here

It is the end of April.

I am in my winter jammies.

I have socks on.

I still have my winter weight duvet.

I just got the heavy comforter out.

Today it hailed and it's going to be below freezing tonight.

IT IS MAY NEXT WEEK.

Just checking.... We all pronounce Miette like My-TAY in our heads, right?

It's "mne-eeh-t." "Mne-eht" said with that soft tongue on the upper palette French sound or "mee-yet". I put the "n" because the pretty tongue roll on the "y" kinda sounds "n"-like to me.

I've been saying it Mee-yet in my head. Like the French word for "crumb."

It's written like the french word for crumbs, it is getting pronounced like the french word for crumbs. It's Mee-yet

#the idea it was anything other than mee-yet is insane to me

Until he met the most devastatingly gorgeous peasant boy from a nearby village who said absolutely ghastly things to him that made him feel alive for the first time in years and who turned out to be the most mad sort of sorcerer, one who could conjure up things like gold and vodka shots and apricot tarts out of absolutely nothing, and the prince’s whole life went up in a puff of dazzling purple smoke, and the kingdom said, “I can’t believe we’re all so surprised.”

the scariest part about being a writer? pouring your heart and soul into this one fic that has taken literal months to piece together only to have this sick feeling in your stomach like it isn’t going to be a hit. not because it isn’t good, no, it’s worthy of a pulitzer, but just because readers won’t interact.

this is my message to my readers and all the readers out there: interact with your writer’s fics. someone can leave a seven word compliment along with a reblog on one of my stories and i’ll think about it for days. writers, good writers, have stopped writing because of the lack of feedback they get. nobody should get the amount of support to the point where they feel it’s worthless to do the thing they’re doing. 

readers. like. reblog. leave a comment.

I am tired and aching and tired in a whole bunch of other ways and this April continues to be, well, April with its cold winds and rain (and reports of actual snow in places). I've booked a day off work on Monday as a MH day (take you leave, folks! look after yourself!) and it cannot come quickly enough.

But today I have set aside to do prep work for a new job I want to apply for so if people have good vibes going spare (in this economy? I know) then that would be appreciated.

the one thing i want to be able to do as a writer is make people come back to something ive written. i want that piece of text to haunt them, i want their thoughts to be briefly consumed by this. i want this to be something they remember long after its time. thats the one thing i want to do

that moment when you cross the point of no return with a character should be accompanied by a specific chime i think. like 🔔 congratulations! this one has been installed in the Permanent Collection and you will never stop thinking about them as long as you live
