Why are your updates so short? 😢

Hi, nonnie! How are you? Hope you're well.

How am I doing? Glad you asked.

Work is, well, work. I have a full time job. I'm actually trying to get promoted! I have a big interview for that next week. If I don't get it, that's okay. I can apply again for it this summer. Regardless, I'll have to work twice as hard when I get it or work twice as hard to earn the promotion midyear.

When I'm not working, I have my kiddos. I've tossed around getting a babysitter for random nights or weekends because most of my friends and relatives that can watch or spend time with them are over 800 miles away. In between making memories with them and when they're sleeping, my hubby wants some quality time together and so do I.

I also need to sleep, so there's that.

Doesn't leave much room for writing some days, does it? I fit it in where I can. So, that means some updates or ficlets may be very short. Some weeks you may not hear much from me at all. I would LOVE to churn out long stories, but I simply can't most days. I've still shared over 14k worth of stuff so far this month, so I'm proud of that.

Writing is a hobby that I love, work is a necessity as it pays for everything, my kiddos need their mother, and my hubby needs his wife.

When I say I'm doing my best, I'm saying it with my whole chest.

Thanks for stopping by.

Attempting to get the doctor AU going.

--

They had met–unofficially–at a conference Alex’s first year out of med school. Alex was poised to give a speech about the effectiveness of intra-aortic balloon pumps in cardiac shock patients, something he had spent months preparing for. He was ready and he was confident. He had been thriving under pressure his whole life and public speaking wasn’t something that ever fazed him. 

But something snapped inside of him as he watched more and more people file into the conference hall. He wasn’t in school anymore and these people weren’t his classmates getting ready to listen to his valedictorian speech. They were professionals. They had been in the game for years—they were experts in their fields, and who the fuck was he to show up and act like he could teach them something? They would see right through him. They would think he was a fraud. They would tell him to his face that he couldn’t hack it, all this hard work and sacrifice would have been for nothing. 

Alex broke out in a cold sweat, the speech crumpled in his hand as he closed his fist around it, smearing the ink of the words he so carefully thought out. 

By the time he made it to the closest men’s room he could barely breathe. His chest was tight and his vision was spotty and he had accepted that he was going to die beside the urinals on the fourth floor of a DoubleTree by Hilton hotel.  

Eyes closed and head tipped back against the cool tiles behind him, Alex was prepared to meet his maker when the door swung open. Assuming it was the Grim Reaper coming to take him, Alex cracked an eye open and was met not with a specter cloaked in black holding a scythe, but a tall, blond man in a well-cut suit. 

A Meet Joe Black scenario, then. He could deal with that.

Alex drew his knees back against his chest and the man dropped to his directly in front of him. 

“My name is Henry, I’m a doctor,” he had said and even on his last leg, Alex found the strength to roll his eyes.

“No shit, we all are,” he had wheezed before rattling off his symptoms because fuck if he knew what was happening inside this fogged up brain.

“I believe you’re having a panic attack,” Henry had said and Alex shook his head.

“I don’t get those.”

“That tends to be the case for most people,” Henry started, “until of course they do.” 

Henry raised his hands slowly, the intent to reach out for him clear. Alex surprised the both of them when he bridged the gap and wrapped his fingers around Henry’s wrists, not wanting to be touched, but desperately needing it. 

Henry, with his perfect hair and blue eyes and calming British accent, talked him through breathing exercises and had him focus on anything but the feeling of dread that had been clawing at his chest.

Slowly, it got easier to breath and his body stopped shaking and he was able to stand on his own two feet again. 

Henry had lingered after, handing Alex paper towels to dry his face after he splashed himself with water and nodded his approval as Alex fussed with his hair in the mirror.

Alex never thought to be embarrassed until Alex caught Henry’s eye at the networking event long after the speech was over. 

Alex was going to thank him, properly, for saving his ass, but Henry turned abruptly to the man he was standing with (whose maroon suit stood out beautifully against the sea of black and white) and muttered something that made the man look Alex over with an arched brow. 

He said something back to Henry who immediately shook his head and walked off and Alex burned. 

He still does, given the way Alex’s hackles rise and he needs to bite his tongue every time he sees the man which is, unfortunately, often.

I never said, 'God made a mistake,' I said God made me the way I am, so I'd learn to love myself.

My life rn is constantly juggling between the 3 dramas I'm watching (Hidden Love, See You In My 19th Life, King The Land) all at the same time while also studying for my last 2 finals.

like here I am at 2AM, with a final at 9AM, watching King The Land ep 4 because I didn't have the chance to watch it earlier since I was finishing a presentation. And now I realize I also forgot to see See You In My 19th Life ep 4, but we'll see about that later

#I'm doing my best #but I really hate binging shows that's why I want to watch them on release day #hidden love #king the land #see you in my 19th life #cdrama #kdrama

I'm back bitches!!!

Yep! I am in therapy and doing much better! I have been lurking for a while and I was like. "I need to plan the perfect come back, I need to post updates to all my stories, which means I need to write more for my stories." And you know what, Fuck that though spiral!

Will I update my stories yeah eventually. But till then be prepared for Shit Posting (not literally cuz that's not my kink), and I will probably be shareing things I like. Maybe writing things outside my norm. I may start cultivating my size blogs. Who knows!

I am just ready to get back to the community. Not just get back but give back. You all give so much to me and I am ready to open up and give again.

So I'm back and hornier then ever!

Let's get kinky friends

#back from hiatus #writing #writtersblock #i love you guys #love my community #missed you #i'm doing my best #postpartum #learning to be me

Important Update

please note the following update regarding requests:

I am tentatively re-opening my requests for the time being....I haven't completely emptied by inbox yet so I don't want the people who are still waiting for their requests to feel discouraged; I'm still getting to them and want to keep them for when the inspiration strikes me. I find my best writing happens this way - I hope you understand and thank you for your patience.

For a limited time I will possibly be accepting requests that extend beyond my current ships that I write for; that being said I am most confident in my abilities to write for the characters that I already do, so please do not feel discouraged if you send in a request and I don't write it.

Also, (especially for ships I'm not used to) please give me lots of details [what are they doing? what's the vibe?], this will help me in the writing process. If I do not write your request please do not take it personally - I promise it's not you, it's me. As I've said, I'm most comfortable/familiar with the character's I'm currently writing for, and it will speak of nothing about your request being good or bad.

I have also updated my request guidelines which you can find in my pinned masterlist on my account (here). Please try to adhere to these the best that you can.

Please note I am currently enrolled in school full time and splitting my time between two properties across the province; exam season is approaching, plus having research papers and such to do, so I thank you in advance for your patience with me....Perhaps not the greatest time to reopen my requests but being here and being creative with you all makes me happy, so....

okay...........go wild.

You should update Stud and Smartie more.

Nonnie, I've shared something for Stud and Smartie in October, November, and this month. That's not enough? I get that a couple of them are short, but most days my capacity to write is very limited. I try to at least share ficlets so we can see their relationship and the love between them. And considering this is an AU that has had quite a bit shared this year when other AUs and fics have been extremely neglected, I really don't know what else I can do.

Love and thanks. ❤️
