This post kicked me like the football.

Sometimes there's a right time and a wrong time to write a story. This is personally why I need to have multiple projects at the same time.

Sometimes "time" has to do with the weather. Clearly, the story is an Autumn story, so I can only write it in september-november.

Sometimes it has to do with personal struggles. Two years ago I was struggling with anxiety, but now I'm struggling with understanding my ideas of romance. Those aren't the same stories.

There's one story I keep meaning to write, but keep putting off because I don't have the insight for it, yet. I did this when I was 12: I knew there was a story I'd write, but the protagonists were adults, and I figured I'd wait six years and write something else in the meantime (worth it, btw).

I think both Brandon Sanderson and Neil Gaiman have said something about waiting to write a specific story.

A lot of writers talk about the need to just write the story in order to overcome fear, writer's block, and to grow as a writer. But the thing is, it is also perfectly okay to wait and let an idea simmer and grow as you as a person grow. If there's a story you want to write, but don't feel ready to write, then it is a fine idea to put the story on the backburners and write a different story. It's okay to build-up to that story.

Sure, someday you'll have to face the challenge of putting that story into a tangible form -- but in my experience, it's a lot easier to do that after letting the story build inside, and letting it explode onto the page.

So here you have it: permission to have 100 on-going stories and write whatever is burning in your heart now.

(Small side note: Writing "the end" is a valuable experience, and for that reason, short stories are an awesome writing exercise).

As you might have noticed, we’re beta-testing something new: Tumblr Post+. What’s Post+? A big deal, for starters. Post+ is our new subscription feature that allows you to use our existing multi-media post form to create unique paid feeds or support other blogs by subscribing to theirs. Fear not, Tumblr will always be free to use, this is just a way to continue to empower unique voices and throw a little coin to your favorite artists, fanfic writers, or maybe even that one mashup Supernatural/Studyblr blog you’ve been following since 2016.

(3 a.m. infomercial voice) But wait, there’s more. We want to know every possible way we can make Post+ the best experience for you and your community. To do that, we’d love to hear from you. Specifically, we want your thoughts on how you’d use a feature that provides a feed of exclusive posts on Tumblr. What would you like to see? Don’t be shy 👉👈. Get in touch. Do it often, if you like. We’re excited to hear your thoughts. And keep your eyes on this space (go ahead now, click follow ☝️). Teamwork makes the dream work, etc.

don't know why this post disappeared when I tried to reblog it the first time, but here, I did your survey :)

Adding onto this

Everyone do this actually, we all don't want this to become a thing, so fill out their survey and tell them exactly why. This is the official means of giving our feedback, use it.

BTS Ghostie Writer Net Bingo Bash

As some of you have seen, I’m participating in the BTS Ghostie Writer Net Bingo Bash and I’m going to be keeping track of each scenario that I write for the Bingo Bash on this post. I will be posting a scenario relating to one of the prompts every Friday at 4pm MST. Let the games begin!

Read “Don’t Touch That” here.

Read “Paper Plate” here.

Read “Give and Take” here.

Read “Field Trip” here. 

Read this week’s new scenario (a soulmate AU featuring Hoseok) “Found” here.

Cheeto (Sehun Drabble)

Pairing: Sehun x reader

Warnings: None. It’s fluffy.

Notes: This drabble was partially inspired by something that I saw two of my students do last week at school when they were hanging out in my classroom. I hope that all you enjoy it!

“Stop wiping your fingers on me,” you complained as Sehun once again wiped his cheeto crusted fingers onto your bare arm.

“Where else am I supposed to wipe?” Sehun asked before popping another cheeto into his mouth.

“On yourself?” You suggested as you tried to wipe your fingers on Sehun’s arm. Unfortunately he had anticipated your action and moved far enough away from you that you couldn’t reach him.

You threw your head back in annoyance and started to lick your fingers clean. “You suck.”

Sehun laughed and moved himself so that he was next to you again.

“Then why are you sharing your Cheetos with me?” Sehun jokingly asked. You shook your head at his question and shivered as a cold gust of air from the air conditioner blew at you.

Without a second thought, Sehun shrugs off his black windbreaker and lays it on top of your shoulders.

“Sehun you don’t have to-,” you started to say.

“You’re cold and you need it more than I do,” Sehun nonchalantly replied as his long fingers dug through the bag of Cheetos.

Although you wanted to feel bad about his gesture, you couldn’t help but smile as you ate another cheeto.

“Thank you, loser,” you said. Sehun laughed and once again wiped his cheeto covered fingers onto you.

“Anything for you.”

This is so cute, it’s making me grin. My heart is so soft now at the same time of wanting to beat Sehun up, its a never ending struggle haha. Thanks for writing and sharing!

@breadoffoxy, thank you!!!!! I’m glad that you enjoyed this piece. Sehun is perfect for these kinds of cute stories. 

Field Trip

Pairing: Dhampir!Jungkook x Moroi!Reader

Genre: Vampire Academy!AU, action, and fluff

Word Count: 4.4k

Prompt: vampire!au

Warnings: Jungkook says the word “ass,” and there is an action sequence. Brief allusion to blood, because it’s vampires. 

Summary: Jungkook is a Dhampir training to become a Guardian. His whole life he had been taught that “they come first” and that he is meant to guard and protect. In the middle of the field exam, Jungkook tries to wrestle with unanswered questions while protecting you at all costs. 

Author’s Note: First off as far as fanfiction goes, I just want to note that this is the longest thing that I have ever written. This vampire!au is based off of the Vampire Academy books and as such I don’t have any ownership over the mythology of this story. With that being said, don’t worry if you’ve never read the books before. I made sure to include enough background information so that you can fully enjoy reading this scenario without having prior knowledge. This scenario is also for the BGW Bingo Bash and falls under the “vampire!au” prompt. © Field Trip is copyright monggu-eomma. Do not re-post, modify, and/or translate this piece of writing without my permission. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The world is not as it seems – humans are not as alone as they think themselves to be. In the shadows of the moonlit nights, Moroi and Strigoi are at odds with each other. The Moroi, living vampires with the ability to control one of the five elements: earth, air, water, fire, and spirit, are under the constant threat of becoming the meal of the Strigoi, undead vampires that have little to no control over their bloodlust. In the middle of this eternal conflict are the Dhampirs, half human and half Moroi, and they serve as the sworn protectors of the Moroi. They are the only thing that stands in the way of the Strigoi and their next meal.
