Which OC is the flirtiest?

I mean... here I am trying my HARDEST not to mention Milo Marsette, but here I am, talking about Milo Marsette because he’s possibly the only one who knows how to flirt?

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Milo shamelessly flirted his way through an anesthesia-induced haze upon first meeting his husband, who was the nurse who helped stitch him back together after spontaneously combusting at a raucous 21st birthday party...

Yes, I wrote those words.

Ask me which of my OCs is the ____est

#oh look #it's my Extra Gay Son #milo marsette #time undone #time series #you know who else is a flirt but knows less about what they're doing? #Andrina #every so often she's pretty bold #but mostly she's like 'AAAH! All these women on this ship are so beautiful! what do I do???' #so Milo takes this slot #easy #sophie writes #I'll be throwing him through a bit of a character reboot once I get to him #because some of my early draft writing doesn't age well #but this one character development remains tried and true #infinitelyblankpage

3. Rooibos: What is one of you favourite books?

I pretty much answered this one heh. But The Horse and His Boy. I love that book soo much

#answers #infinitelyblankpage

[bardicbeetle]

Red, Grey, Pink :D

Red: What type of writer’s block do you experience the most?

mostly I run into the ‘no way in hell are you getting me to do that’ from my characters.

But also I go through really high and low points in terms of plot steam.  So those too.

Grey: What’s a common writing tip that you almost always follow?

DO NOT WRITE IN ORDER

TIME IS MEANINGLESS

if you do not want to write the scene, write it later, write something else now.

Pink: Which of your characters would become your best friend?

Probably Jesse, he’s the least mad at me.

#thank you!!! #infinitelyblankpage #questions concerns and or rotten tomatoes #larkspur will write later

influence tag game

i was tagged by @infinitelyblankpage! thanks for tagging me!!

rules: give a short summary of your wip, name seven sources of influence on your story, and tag seven people.

hmmm. i’m not sure if i can name seven sources of influence for each wip, but i’ll try. on we go!

my main wip, which is finished but doesn’t have a title yet bc i suck at titling

summary: after being told by his mother to run fromt home before his abusive stepfather, larry, flies completely off the handle, dillan (my mc) hitchhikes all the way to kansas in an attempt to get to his grandparents in arkansas. however, he gets picked up by a cop, who then turns him in to carlson, a retired televangelist and directs a boys’ home in kansas, for a payoff. dillan goes by a fake name (he calls himself josh stevens) and has dyed his hair, because he assumes that larry has given his description to facilities like the home across the country. carlson almost immediately knows he’s lying about something and starts trying to get the information out of him; dillan figures out he needs to leave asap and makes a couple of friends: conrad, a troublemaker in the home; joey, a strong, silent occupant of the home; nick, a telepath who dislikes all the corruption in the home but stays quiet about it; and victoria, the home’s mailgirl. these allies help him escape the home (conrad and victoria go with him). once he’s out, larry commissions carlson to go find him, and conrad/dillan/victoria have to stay one step ahead; nick tries to help from afar, then eventually joins them. from there things progress.

influences:

the talisman by stephen king and peter straub (i actually started this project bc i had started reading the talisman but had to turn it back in to the library, so i wanted something to keep me distracted while i waited to check it out again)

lots of 80s music (welcome to the jungle by guns n roses and save a prayer by duran duran stand out to me particularly)

just 80s culture in general, tbh - not a lot of it shows up in the story (that’s one thing i wish i’d done a better job of, but as far as i can see rn there’s not much room for it in the story’s context), but it did definitely form a lot of it in its early stages

in a way my own home life?? it’s a bit too complicated to explain, but i identify with dillan in a few interesting ways.

that’s . .. honestly all i can think of rn. if i think of more i’ll add them!

my southern gothic wip, which is not finished (it currently sits at chapter two or three) and as a result also doesn’t have a title

summary: my mc hunter wakes up in a strange house. he soon finds out that he’s in a virginia town named fairfalls - the woman whose house he’s in, alma, found his car crashed and burning on the side of the road heading into town and saved him and brought him to her house to recover. hunter can’t remember the drive from pennsylvania, where he’d been staying overnight, to virginia, and has lost three days somewhere (he last remembers it being september 21st, but it’s the 24th). as he settles in to the town as best he can (he does not plan to stay long), he realizes that the town has a severe case of religious mania, and his intuition tells him that the town is hiding something. he meets savannah and her little brother tommy, who are hiding a secret of their own (which is revealed to the reader pretty quickly); that secret gets them involved in what’s happening between hunter and the town. things progress from there. (although i’m not too far into the story at this point, i have a lot of it at least roughly plotted, and ik exactly how i want the last scene to be. let me just tell yall, it’s gonna be a masterpiece.)

influences:

southern gothic music (obviously): songs like bottom of the river by delta rae, devil’s backbone by the civil wars, arsonist’s lullaby by hozier, and boy got it bad by kail baxley often motivated me to lay down the groundwork for this project (and still get me in the mood to continue it)

anything with spooky, secretive towns in it! particularly derry from stephen king’s universe, bc i’m a huge stephen king nerd. (derry, maine, is featured most prominently in king’s book it, but it also is a setting in a few of his other books, such as 11/22/63.)

aesthetic photos and moodboards for southern gothic vibes

those “______ gothic” posts that i see floating around sometimes here on tumblr or screenshotted from tumblr for pinterest

some weird inner fascination i have for corrupt/warped religion?? like this theme comes up pretty strongly in my main wip (the one i talked about first in this post) through carlson, and it’s going to feature even more strongly in this wip, bc it will be (is) the main driving force of the plot. idk why i keep going back to that theme, but alas, here we are.

stephen king’s the shining ! tommy’s character is at least moderately influenced by danny torrance (king masterfully writes a gifted, intelligent child in danny, and that’s what i hope to do with tommy throughout this wip’s various drafts).

that’s all i can think of! if i think of any more, i’ll add them.

as for who i’ll tag: @victoria-writes-sometimes, @wri-tty, @wolvenwatcher, @christinawritesfiction, @itstheenglishkid, @lady-redshield-writes, and @altschmerzes!

I’m really not sure what you mean?

So I sat on my glasses and snapped them in half...

I like your Van Gogh in the background btw

Confession: It is not Van Gogh, it is a reproduction of the TARDIS exploding from that one arc of Doctor Who.  I also completely forgot that was behind me, and also that you can in fact see the TARDIS. 

#infinitelyblankpage #thank you for thinking it's cool tho

someone had a birthday and I nearly missed it but reese is a secrety beast

for what lies below, a wip I absolutely adore and highly recommend* from @infinitelyblankpage:

Stealing from anyone is a risk. Stealing from a pirate is downright foolish. But Isaac’s right where he wants to be. On a pirate ship, under the Captain, sailing away from Lowen and the life he was forced into.

reese is a very secrety beast

#infinitelyblankpage #happy birthday tori I love yoooou #*I highly recommend all of her work buuuuut #I especially like paxton #and the little glimpses I've gotten into his life and character #he seems a good fellow and I want good things for him #... you can break him a little first :p

infinitelyblankpage replied to your post: “@infinitelyblankpage 772 words! I’m going to cut almost all of them...”:

What?! How did you do that so fast? Give me your focus!!!!

well, it’s not like it’s any good! It’s really hard for me to get started but once I do there’s a lot of words just flowing. I need to figure out what’s happening in this story so that it can actually go somewhere

Lot of stuff is currently going down with the rewrites for On my Heart:

“What?”

Jackie hesitated, hand outstretched.  Very slowly, she lowered it and looked away.  “Nothing.”

For half a moment, he’d thought she’d been about to argue, or to say she’d come with him.  But why would she?  She’d rather stay on their good side, after all.  So he turned and left without another word.

I’ll tag @ratracechronicler, @infinitelyblankpage, @phoenixmakeswords, @writings-of-a-narwhal, and @paladin-andric, if any of you want to do this!
