Sooo I haven’t been writing. For the past week I’ve been mia simply because I’ve been engrossed in playing animal crossing. It’s sort or sad really lol.
Anyways, so no, I have not been writing in order to submit a short story. The reason is this: after deciding to write the short story I went back and looked at the guidelines and skoffed a little when I realized I had completely misunderstood the plot line wanted. Completely out of my realm and I can’t use the characters from Under the Ash Tree. I was a little down in the dumps and knew I should probably at least work on UtAT. Today I went back, looked at the guidelines again, did some research, and now I realize I can totally write this short story! It’s not out of my realm at all!
Basically I have to write a romance involving an otherkin or therian. At first glance last week I thought that meant someone who seriously believed they were a cat or some other animal. And that seemed weird to me (I know, extremely judgemental, I’m sorry) what it actually is, (otherkin that is) is someone who believes they are an angel or dragon or elf generally due to their involvement in wicca, fantasy stuff, and metaphysics in all its glorious shapes and forms. I have saved the website I found most helpful (it explains awakening and also some differences with other people (like people who are actually crazy))
I now feel capable of writing this because I love fantasy, I used to be wiccan, I love metaphysics. I may not believe myself to be an elf, but I feel that I can sympathize with someone who does, I feel that I can portray a seemingly real character with that personality in a completely fictionous story.
I can’t wait to get started now :)
Wish me luck!

“…Commissioned to transform a council block in South London by pumping 20 gallons of copper sulphate solution into the council flat to create a strangely beautiful and somewhat menacing crystalline growth on the walls, floor, ceiling and bath of this abandoned dwelling.”
This is just beautiful and amazing, wow!!!
Tumblr is the only place that screams for tolerance, and then runs people off the site who don’t agree with them.
It seems like this election is teaching Americans a lot of things about each other they were comfortable not knowing
