Chocolate chip cookies: What's your favorite part of the drafting process?

Oh hello!!!

Probably my favorite part is just writing the scene, knowing that if it does not feel right first time around, I can re-work it. You also have these ideas and you want to jot or type them down on the page. Whether planned or not, it is also having fun experimenting within your story. It is a wild ride, after all.

Happy writing!

Chocolate chip cookies: What's your favorite part of the drafting process?

Getting to the scenes that inspired the work to begin with!

I might have started "eating dessert first" and writing those scenes to start...gotta strike while the iron is hot, after all! It's also fun to see how they come together as I weave the connective tissue in, and how much they change or don't depending on the new context of the wider story around them.

Your writeblr bakery order is ready!

Cake: How does your character celebrate? Could be for holidays, special events, or general celebration when they are excited/happy?

I think I'm just going to be answering all of these with the WIP of mine that's been consuming my thoughts lately, lol. So here's another one for "Belonging to Nightmares"!

So, Minna doesn't celebrate her birthday. She wanted to, but after she turned 13, her father claimed that she and her sisters were now too old for such "frivolous" things. Holidays were the same way.

Kyrie, on the other hand, always had small quiet celebrations with her parents and two younger siblings. Nothing elaborate since they had money troubles, but they had each other and Kyrie helped make the best of it for her siblings if their parents had to work those days.

When she found out Minna wasn't allowed to celebrate her birthday, she offered to share her own, since they were born a year and a week apart. She also invited Minna and their friends to join in their simple holiday celebrations together as they got older, but "their" birthday was special just for the two of them the older they got until they were separated.

happy birthday to me id under the cut

I threw a birthday party for myself,

I think it went well,

I invited the mites lining my casket,

I invited the maggots ghosting my rotting skin,

I invited the moths hiding in my jacket,

They prayed for me,

My mother called when I couldn't pick up,

She cried that night

I threw a birthday party for myself,

It was still forty years away,

I baked a cake made of my bones and

decaying flesh,

They prayed for me that night,

My mother called when I couldn't pick up,

She cried that night

I threw a birthday party for myself,

I couldn't attend the day itself,

The air I filled my lungs with overflowed,

The blood my heart beats with rushed

through my veins,

They prayed for me,

for me today,

for me tomorrow,

for all of me,

My mother picked me up,

She held me when I cried that night

Happy Blorbo Blursday!

Your characters are in a cafe/bakery for snacks. What is each one of them buying? 🥐🥞🥪☕

--@oh-no-another-idea

Ooo! Interesting question! Thanks for the ask <3

Answering for the Darkling Cast...

Lizzy Hail - Pain Au Chocolat

Lizzy doesn't have a huge sweet tooth. A little bit of indulgence now and then, but overall she's not one for sweets. If she was buying something from a bakery she'd lean towards the more savory options like the actual bread, but if it was specificlally for a snack she might pick up a pain au chocolat.

Booker Reed - Bakewell Tart

There's a nice balance to a bakewell tart that Booker really enjoys. The sweet jam, the almost savory edge of the almond base, the bite of the cherry. He likes the layers and textures, and the way they work together.

Andric Roche - Carrot Cake

Cheese cakes are usually found in stores not bakeries (at least here in the UK), otherwise that what would have been Andric's 1st choice, but nothing beats cream cheese frosting as a second option for Andric, and that rarely comes on anything other than a Carrot Cake. It helps that he also enjoys how moist carrot cakes tend to be.

Edward - Cinnamon Bun!

Not just because he's quite close/adjacent to the "Cinnamon Roll" trope, but also because he loves the sweet/savory mix of a well iced cinnamon bun.

Connorbar Moore - Scottish Shortbread

Connor has simple tastes. Flour, Butter, and Sugar, baked to perfection. Nothing beats a crumbly piece of shortbread for this vampire.

Olwen Pryce - Millionaires Shortbread

Olwen doesn't indulge herself often, but if she's walking past a bakery and catches sight of some Millionaires Shortbread, it's almost an impulse to stop and buy one. It may bring back memories of her mother baking in the kitchen. It might be a little bit off bittersweet nostalgia. It might just be the caramel-chocolate combo.

POLL!!!

The baker is stumped, she doesn't know what to bake. That's where you come in!

[late-to-the-party-99]

The first loaves of bread showed up after I brought over that book.

I found it on a dusty shelf in Grandma Jones’ apartment. It was the week after the funeral, and we had to clear out her belongings. The faded jacket over the covers crumbled under my fingers as I slid the book out. 

Cracking it open, I realized it was a recipe book. I saw the cursive instructions for her chocolate cake, her peach cobbler, and her lemon-seed muffins. It brought me back to her kitchen, creaming butter and sugar together with a wooden spoon. “You don’t need fancy gadgets,” she said over my shoulder, wiping callused hands on her apron. “Just some elbow grease and a lot of love.”

I’d been thinking about starting up a bakery. I decided to take it as a sign, tucking the book into my coat as I called my bank. 

That first night in the new building was cold; the furnace was still on the fritz. I tried to warm it up by firing up the ovens and opening the recipe book again. I started to bake some of Grandma Jones’ pumpkin bread. 

I guess it’s not all that surprising that I fell asleep. Lulled by the warm ovens and the warm scents of cinnamon and nutmeg, I drifted off in my metal folding chair. 

It was more surprising to wake up to a bakery that wasn’t on fire. Instead, the ovens were off, the loaves out of their tins and on cooling racks. 

I didn’t know what to make of it at first. I assumed that I woke up sometime in the night and took care of it, forgetting it in a drowsy stupor. But it kept happening.

Sometimes it was pumpkin bread already sitting in the display case. Other times, it was banana bread running through a slicer on all by itself. And other times, it was zucchini bread in the oven when I unlocked the doors in the morning. 

It took me a week to figure out all this happened when I left the book open on the counter, with a light turned on overhead. 

Grandma Jones liked to keep busy. Grandma Jones didn’t have the best eyesight in low light. 

After debating calling a spirit medium, or a psychiatrist, I settled on leaving the book open. I couldn’t afford any other employees at that time. And if it was Grandma Jones, then who was I to tell her how to spend her afterlife? 

At least, that was the message I got from the floating wooden spoon smacking my arm when I tried to protest. 

She still bakes with me at the bakery. Every now and then, new cursive writing appears in the book, making tweaks or corrections to her recipes. Her floury footprints track across the black floor tiles. 

But I guess she got a little lonely, because she began to circle the other names mentioned in her book: Mary, the church lady who brought snickerdoodles. Dave, the pharmacist who whipped up brownies in the microwave. Tip, the sweet young person who lived across the street and poured over his buttercream for hours. 

I had to do a lot of digging through phone books and records, but I found them all. I pulled their recipe books free and set them next to Grandma Jones’, leaving them open to make their own decisions. 

More often than not, I saw their snickerdoodles and brownies and buttercream show up in the kitchen the next day. 

The kitchen gets a bit cluttered sometimes, with utensils and splatters of batter lying about. But it’s all worth it. It’s worth it to see people bite into a cupcake and melt on the spot, their shoulders sagging and pent-up tears flowing.

Sadness and a life well-lived, I think, taste like hints of vanilla and citrus. They’re flavors enhanced by sugar, not blotted out. You can never mix them out of your baking. You can only inhale the same smells they inhaled, giggling over a cookie with your friends as they did. You can hold hands, warm and dusty with powdered sugar.  

I can afford living employees now, but I don’t have to hire them. I have Grandma Jones and her friends. And we all get along fine. 

Text: Ghosts like to have jobs, running my bakery almost all on their own now. The loaves of bread have a strange, comforting smell to them; old books, and warm skin, a sad, sweet memory.

Happy Storyteller Saturday! Doing similar over here to what I'm doing over on my book writing blog (@bilightningwriter-writing). Basically, feel free to send me asks about my stories/characters! [My Whump Writing Masterlist here] Either asking me something unique or something from these ask games here, up to you! Answering asks is fun and helps me get motivated, plus helps with recalling details and worldbuilding. Anything to ramble about my characters, lol. And I'll be sure to send asks back to anyone who wants one! I don't think I've forgotten yet, though apologies if I have.

Also, there is no deadline to this. Feel free to send things anytime, not just Saturday(s). Just please look at this before sending me asks on the ask games: [Point of Clarification for anyone confused by my "#just tell me it's from this" tag]

Cheesecake from the writeblr bakery pls

Cheesecake: Share an angsty/sad snippet from your WIP!

This is the best I can offer ATM without it being too spoiler-y. I'm nervous about sharing it! From my Runner Owen project DIRETIDE VIGIL, which for some reason automatically capitalizes itself:

“If I cannot stand vigil,” I said, my voice trembling, “Can you please see if her family can be found?”

He released me, leaning back into his seat.

“She’s been taken to the Grand Morgue,” the prince said, “Certainly someone will come and recognize her.”

I looked down towards my hands again.

“Only one night of vigil is needed, by tradition,” I said. “I pray her family finds her within the week.”

“Remind me why this is so important,” the prince said.

A smile tugged at my lips. “Spiritual or historical reasons, your highness?”

“Whatever matters most to you.” He drummed his fingers upon his thigh.

“The body must be watched for a time to ensure the spirit has left it, so the soul is not destroyed with the corpse.”

The prince glanced towards me.

“It’s an ancient belief,” I said. “Dating back to the captive centuries. Back then, our ancestors would hide the bodies of their loved ones until they were too rotten to be fed to the vampires' swine.”

The prince grimaced. “What dreadful things we do for a scrap of dignity.” He smiled. “But I suppose you would understand that better than I, wouldn’t you?”

Setting my teeth, I folded my hands together, and said nothing.
