  1. I think so! Thanks! ❤️I'm working on it right now! Oh good! I liked it better too It's a little strange writing Diego, because people like him make things uncomfortable for people like me. Thank you so much! Have a terrific day!
  2. That was before my time! But I used to have all the DVDs Thank you! You and I both, if I'm being super honest. But thank you very much! I've been a fan my whole life and I've been seeing small, local wrestling brands for years and made a lot of friends there. Thank you for the review!
  3. Mmmmm only for really important dialogue, reveals and stuff.
  4. Definitely a fan of audio! I can listen to a book while doing the dreaded minutiae of everyday life. Reading too much seems to give me headaches, but I can listen to a book for days at a time.
  5. Two positives to a negative, isn't that the rule? "X was good, because..." "I wasn't keen on Y, I think it could have been improved by..." "But I liked Z, it..." I dunno, that's what I was always taught. The criticism sandwich. I've had some scathing reviews of things I've published online before but I didn't really care. At the moment I write for me, nobody else. When I sent stuff to my friend she had a lot to say about what I was doing right and wrong, and she was so constructive about it that I happily threw it in the bin and started from scratch, and I like it much more now. I'm sorry they attacked your baby. People need to be aware of the line between helping and hurting someone's feelings. Whether or not they liked it, it's still something the author is attached to and they should respect that. ❤️
  6. Yeah I agree! Still, I'm a bit scared of coming across as super needy.
  7. 😮 I can't imagine not wanting to reply or at least thank someone for taking the time to leave a comment on something you've shared. It always makes my day better, so I gotta voice my appreciation, y'know? I understand not everyone's the same way, and that's okay.
  8. Oh I'm a shocker for that. Grammarly and I always have to have a BIG talk together when we go through it. I still tend to leave some of it in because it feels, I dunno, awkward to me in some instances to switch to active, particularly when I want to focus on the thing, not the person #justamateurthings
  9. I grew up with a minimum of three cats in the house at all times and shared a bedroom, I've mastered the art of working through distractions 🤪 it's usually a rumbling in my stomach that I can't ignore.
  10. I'm a fan of prologues, but I've been scared out of writing them, I'm afraid perhaps it's for the best, I'm still trying to learn how not to infodump.

    Chapter 1

    This is going to be so cute, I just know it!
  12. Thursday, January 5th "Daddy!" Jilly cried, putting on her tantrum-in-ten-seconds face. Oh no, Diego thought, picking her up in his muscular arms. "Juwi stole my 'tato!" She said, letting out the first whine. It sounded like someone was letting air out of the tyre. "Bean, you're supposed to be sharing. He's allowed to have some 'tatos," he gently reminded her, rocking her against his hip. Julian wasn't even looking, eyes fixed on the Power Rangers, stuffing fried potato bites down his th
  13. It was more of an experiment than anything! If you enjoyed it, I certainly will write up some more. Thanks! Oh good! I was scared that the characters were kind of weak. It was a bit info dump - ish. Hopefully I feel better about the next one!
  14. "Good luck baby," Rachel grinned, kissing him on the cheek for luck. "Don't hurt him too bad!" Standing by the entrance curtain in the production area, it was hard to hear her over the deafening noise of Sean Fox's entrance music and the enthusiastic roar of the Boston crowd. Must be nice, he thought bitterly. No mob has ever cheered for me like that and I've been here for seven years longer than Fox has. "I'll be the one getting hurt, remember," he reminded her curtly, a frown on his
  15. Diego's professional wrestling career isn't going so well. He's unpopular, homophobic and lacks charisma, both on and off screen. Gay icon Lance delivers a disastrous debut match and becomes the scorn of the industry. Management decides to give them both another chance and pairs them together - Diego is a seasoned wrestler and Lance is a talented entertainer. With no chemistry and nothing in common, the two aren't nearly as friendly behind the scenes as they are on camera, but with both their careers hanging in the balance, they'll have to find some way to make it work.
  16. Danul you really are a little brat I love you so much, don't ever change ❤️ (Still a brat) That was totally worth the wait! Oh gosh Joe, what have you let yourself get hauled into? I did question Danul's motives in finishing the job on king prat from a logical point - Arty is wise to him and Henry's word wouldn't change that, paintings or not - but that was quickly saved by Danul admitting that it's totally personal. Great touch!

    Chapter 5

    It certainly is goin' great! I'm embarrassed by how excited I was to see this uploaded! haha I'm kind of picky, but somehow I really enjoy all the major characters. Particularly the relationship between Connor & Leon. Great work! Please don't shy away from another chapter! ❤️

    Chapter 1

    I challenge you to make more chapters of this! I like the start, even if the roasting marshmellows over a burning body was a tad macabre for my taste. Haha it was short and sweet!

    Chapter 1

    The writing style is addictive! Who wouldn't be into Jeff?
  20. Holy Arty, just throw the kid out of the window already! Alternatively, Daniel can kill all of them! I don't mind which way this goes, but I'm really liking it! I had my breath held in the last few paragraphs. He's scary.
  21. I'm definitely behind happy endings for the protagonists, but happily ever afters tend to leave a sour taste in my mouth. When everything works out and the sweet protagonist gets to be happy without really developing or learning something, it just irritates me I like a grittier, harsher ending - if the protagonist is happy, that's great, but I don't want them to have everything they ever dreamed of etc. I want life to kick them in the teeth and have them find a way to be happy regardless. Bleh, me bad articulation. 🤐 I guess I just prefer tenacity over everything turning out well in the end.
  22. I can't write even a short story without having a detailed timeline, a huge character tree with drawn pictures and all important notes neatly stacked in a notepad document. The timeline & notes are so clear and concise, I dunno how it becomes such a hot mess when it's written lol 🤔

    Chapter 17

    Awwwh I do hope Adam is allowed to attend the funeral. He deserves something after all that. ❤️ Beautifully written, as usual!
  24. Awwww c'mon man. That's gnarly as heck! Very crescendo. I'm not as invested in Daniel's life at school as I am in his life at home, but both are done exceptionally well. Thanks for uploading! 😘 I'm keen for more when it comes.
  25. Awhh gosh I've been looking forward to this chapter. It did not let me down! I adore Daniel of course, but if something horrible happens to little Geil, I'm going to be SO MAD AT YOU. 😘 Great stuff! I'm so hooked, it's almost embarrassing. 🤣
