Promptember (list by @emofloofchild )

Day 2: Never

Day 3: Rescue

x

[crossbackpoke-check]

inspired by @colap1nto <3 and posting here to hold myself accountable: writevember! attempting to write something every day no matter how much and what it is

i am however inventing stipulations for myself so i cannot weasel my way out of it, which includes a valid definition of “write”:

actively put words into a document in the form of a proper fic!!! too many wip not enough hands!!

poems (actually laughed at me coming up with this but maybe i will go back to my roots)

research/meta/primers

tag stories are permissible IF i actually compile and edit them into a readable document that day

editing to post to ao3 (the optimism) is also valid. it takes me so long

i do have concrete arbitrary deadlines for one and a half fics that i would LOVE to finish and post in november (dewey^2 and [redacted :)]) so i’m hoping this helps!! also, this is secretly just a sticker chart where i get to put down emojis for each fic i worked on and check off boxes but a win is a win

WRITEMBER RECAP: an overall sucess!!!! this was so much fun and really forced me to write even if it was only a little bit every day. like, to the point that i'm debating doing a cute little twelve days of christmas snippet fest. absolutely could not have finished and published dewey^2 p2 without this challenge or posted p3 :)

thirty days of writing

twelve different fics worked on

poems: 1

i have no word count for you sorry i wish i did but it is at least over a few thousand words!!!!

times i wrote for a day past midnight (making it technically the next day) but because i was still awake i counted it for that day: at least 17 if not closer to like. 25

tags i forgot what they mean: one. what the FUCK is 🪢??? OH MY GOD I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT IS NEVERMIND

duolingo streak (worked on the same fic in a row): 5

Writember Day 10: Promises

Title: I Promise

Pairing: Bakushima

Word Count: 707

Read on Ao3

Warnings: possible spoilers

Bakugou Katsuki hated hospitals.

Unfortunately for him, he was in hospitals quite a lot as a child. But that was to be expected due to the destructive nature of his quirk and his violent tendencies in general. He also knew that being a hero meant a lot of injuries and a lot more time he would have to spend in the hospital. He was prepared for that.

But hospitals are different when you are the visitor instead of the patient.

He stared at the monitor on the wall as his body ached from sitting in the uncomfortable chair that he had the nurse pull up next to Kirishima’s bed. He refused to look at the redhead due to the very painful knot that formed in his throat whenever he caught sight of the other’s injuries. However, Bakugou didn’t want to leave him, so he sat there, leaning forward so one elbow was propped up on the bed, holding his head up while his other hand gently laid over Kirishima’s injured one.

The rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor put Bakugou at slight ease, eyes falling shut a few times as his body wanted to succumb to sleep but he refused to give in. He forced his eyes back open and decided that he needed to move around. He stood and stretched, his body protesting at the flexion of muscles that have been sitting idle for too long. Mid-stretch, with his arms over his head and back arching slightly, his eyes did wander to Kirishima.

His chest tightened at how broken the other looked. Bandages covered most of the cuts and scrapes but a good portion of Kirishima’s exposed skin had turned a deep purple and blue, indicating that there was a lot of bruising and internal bleeding from his injuries. Bakugou scowled and quickly broke from the stretch, shoving his hands into his pockets with a huff. He tore his eyes away from the other and started to pace around the room.

“Stupid fucking shitty hair getting fucking injured and making me fucking sit in this shitty ass hospital with this dumbass doctors who can’t do shit,” he continued to mumble expletives to himself, angry but unable to figure out who he was angry at. Sure, he was pissed at the assholes that beat up Kirishima but there was more and he couldn’t pinpoint what.

Bakugou was so angry and unfocused to his surroundings that he didn’t hear the stirring coming from the bed. It wasn’t until he heard the flatlining of the heart monitor that he snapped out of his trance.

He spun around quickly, heart pounding and breath caught in his throat at what the flat beeping meant. As panic started to set in, his brain barely registered what he was seeing. It wasn’t until the familiar voice spoke to him that he was able to calm down.

“Sorry to scare you like that man but you didn’t seem to hear me.” Kirishima gave a small smile, voice coming out strained but Bakugou thought it was the most beautiful sound he’s ever heard.

He took a few deep breaths as he stared at the redhead, who was reattaching his heart sensors to his chest with shaky hands. “Fucking dumbass.” His words caused Kirishima to look up again and Bakugou scowled. He walked over to the hospital bed, yanking the wires out of his hands and reattaching them to his chest properly.

When he was done, he looked at the redhead, who was already staring at him. Neither realized how close they were until that moment but neither wanted to move. One of Bakugou’s palms stayed rested on the other’s bandaged chest, careful enough to not cause him harm but firm enough to ground them both, while he placed his other hand next to Kirishima’s head. Bakugou hovered over him, eyes and face softening.

“Don’t fucking do that shit to me again, shitty hair.”

Kirishima smiled shyly and pushed himself up on his elbows, hissing as his body protested against the movement but he didn’t stop until his forehead was pressed against Bakugou’s, a gesture made to reassure the blonde. Red eyes stared into red as they both sat there, relishing in the contact.

“I promise.”

[emofloofchild]

So I finished figuring out the words for the Writember Prompt List;

But I don't know if I actually want to post my prompts on here after it drained the life out of me to do so last year. (Turns out using extravagant words leads to writer's headache! Who'd of guessed?! Me. I did)...

So, while I'll post the picture with the list, and writing on my own time, I don't think I'll make my musings public this year.

WEBSTER’S 1913 – a lovely nice vintage alternative to modern dictionaries, especially useful for historical fiction.

WORDNIK – one of my favourite tools for discovering and collecting words!

MAC APPS FOR WRITERS

SCRIVENER – excellent for organising (and reorganising) longer projects. If you use Scrivener for novel writing, you might like to download my ONE PAGE NOVEL TEMPLATE.

NOTATIONAL VELOCITY – I use this for all odd notes. It’s quick, simple, beautiful, and saves all files as .txt.

FLUX – Flux automatically adjusts the colour temperature of your screen according to the time of day. I find it really helps me with eye strain!

CONVERTKIT* – another fantastic email marketing solution, especially for email courses.

AMBIENT-MIXER – Ambient-Mixer allows you to create your own custom soundscapes, or to use ones created by other users. My favourite is THIS HOGWARTS LIBRARY MIX.

BRAIN.FM – in all honesty, I didn’t think this worked for me, but I’ve seen many people swear by it, so it’s worth a try.

COFFITIVITY – if you’d like to create a café atmosphere in your home, this is the web/mobile app you want.

ONLINE PUBLISHING COMMUNITIES

Wattpad – Wattpad’s strength lies in its mobile app which is very convenient for reading. It also provides great opportunities to connect with your readers and some basic metrics on how they are engaging with your stories. – Since my account was deleted without reason or warning, I can sadly no longer recommend Wattpad as a safe platform to share stories.

GOODREADS – you might not be aware that you can actually publish your own stories on Goodreads. You’ll need to login, GO TO THIS PAGE, then find the small link that says, “my writing”. I admit I haven’t tried it yet, but I love Goodreads as a book community, so I have high hopes. :)

PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS

THE PRODUCTIVITY PAGES – my paper-based goal and task-tracking solution for writers.

TODOIST – a beautifully minimal to-do list app.
