Last Line Tag!

Thank you @writerfae for the tag!

 “I… I guess I’m not entirely sure what I mean either. I am always waiting— I just don’t know what I’m waiting for.  I only  wander, thinking, but rarely acting. I simply… am.” You stop talking for a moment, your voice suddenly becoming shaky as a new emotion takes hold, though you can’t imagine why you might be feeling it. “I suppose I must be waiting for something to happen— something that allows me to do more than just exist.”

I'm tagging @chronicbeans @thiscatwrites and @theunboundwriter No pressure of course!

author diaries (1/?)

i've always had a penchant for writing dark, melancholic stories: tales about the suffering, self-loathing protagonist reaching towards the light for his escape, only to be shut back into the cold, frigid blackness of his own heart.

i don't think that growing up has ever changed that about me.

i don't think it's a fascination with the morbid, but rather a fascination with how human beings are capable of ruining themselves from the inside out.

i'm not as young, naive or as fiery passionate as i used to be as a teenager, but i hold close to me my different experiences with romance – unrequited, manipulative, hurtful, shallow – and also my new love that is warm, honest, kind and joyful.

i wonder whether my new experiences with love with seep themselves into my writing, or if i will continue to write only about people that unwillingly hurt themselves?

Mallow -  what sorts of things might remind your muse of those close to them? any scents, objects, sounds?

Thanks for the tag, @j-1173!

My words are: Glass, Question, Loud, and Eyes

Glass:

From Crown of Two Worlds chapter 1: With that the little box sprang to life, revealing its contents. Without even a flash of light, it began to contort as a large, glass structure began to fly out from under the lid, and in a moment’s  notice- it was done. Where before there was once nothing but old yellow grass, a wondrous, glowing greenhouse now stood.  It was small enough so that the apple trees towered over it, blocking it from the neighbors view. Despite its small size, it was magnificent nonetheless.  

Question:

From Crown of Two Worlds chapter 4:  Circe didn’t respond. She couldn’t. She didn’t hear the voices shouting at her, or feel the hands trying to lift her up off the floor. She wasn’t even aware they were there in the room with her. She was too busy drowning. Even if she had heard Piper’s question- it wasn’t like she could answer it. She didn’t know what happened either. One minute, Anya was there, talking about whatever it was she was saying, and the next she was screaming and then she was gone. Just… gone. Poof. 

Loud:

From Crown of Two Worlds chapter 4: She felt dizzy and she couldn’t bring herself to stand up off the floor. Everything hurt and it felt like her heart was trying to force its way out of her chest and she still couldn’t breathe and Anya disappeared and she didn’t know what happened and she couldn’t move and her thoughts were too loud and…

Eyes:

From Crown of Two Worlds chapter 1:  Perhaps one of the most difficult parts of her exposure therapy exercises was having to actually look at it, if that made any sense. She really tried not to look out into the yard; she tried just focusing on the porch, but that never really worked. It was hard not to let her eyes drift into the empty, exposed yard. There was nothing out here to use for cover or to hide behind, not like in the house, or even the backyard. Nope, not out here. The front yard had absolutely nothing but a short, neatly trimmed lawn. No bushes, no trees, and no fence. It was completely barren. The closest thing she had to any kind of hiding spot was Mr.Tremblay’s car, which was parked in the long, near equally barren driveway. Besides, hiding in the car would be too obvious anyways. That wasn’t even the worst part. The neighbors' houses and the road were mere feet away, without any kind of barrier to keep her safe.
