Though some think it, I haven’t given up on this series. At this point I know it’s just over halfway finished. Whether or not the Olitz audience remains for the completion is independent of the satisfaction I’m chasing for finishing it.

Coming back around to this universe in more ways than one. I’ve been working on a lot of different ideas, in different stages of development. But I’m turning back to the story that started it all 10 years ago (w/ 5 years of silence).

Episode 17 is underway. I’ll make a promise on the posting date when I have a complete 1st draft. Rest assured you’re leaving here with something on Valentine’s Day even if it’s not episode 17.

I kinda like this version of Olitz. A few people have asked for a part II and I’m not ruling it out, though I fully didn’t intend to write more than I did.

I think 2025 is the time to come outta the closet.

The mind is so strange.

I’ve had 2 ideas in the last week that should have been flash fics. But one of them turned into something more that I’ll have to work through. Another started innocent enough in my head and then became…less so. lol. Idk, I’ll turn the bullet points into prose and see where it ends up.

I was reading about a 19th century-themed romance where a woman sleepwalks and dreams she’s in love with a vampire. One day my mind conjured Olitz in a situation involving a Stetson and blue eyeshadow. So unrelated and strange. I tried to make sense of it.

The way this is helping me get back into the practice of writing ✍🏾 without the pressure, especially Olitz stuff. I’ve done a couple ‘Drabbles’ and something between ‘microfiction’ and ‘sudden fiction’. It was so fun!

I’m gonna try a few 3-sentence and 6-word ones

I’m gonna share them

Trying to face the truth of why I haven’t written—the fear of shitty output. It’s so discouraging before I even start.

I finally read this series for the first time (as a reader, not editor), and I enjoyed it 🙂.

Update #5: MacArthur Park: A Season 4 Olitz Miniseries

You do not give him what he wants, a reaction. He wants the phrase to mean something to you, to destabilize you. As if he is using Her as a pawn in a toxic game of chess to one-up you. Instead, you contemplate the term ‘catchphrase’ as he rattles on. How interesting a word choice because catchphrases are what TV shows use as a stand in for real substance, an emotional hook for an uncritical audience. It is not the intimate language of a …

Series summary:

[anincorrectpetunia]

“The coming together under the stars was a bit anticlimactic but boy did you make up for it at the hotel. I loved every minute of it.”

I’m glad you liked the B&B scene. I just want to explain where I’m coming from with both. The love scene under the stars and the one against the wall are intentionally written differently. They’re meant to convey different emotions.

The observatory scene is the first scene of episode 14 that I started writing. Last summer. It was the one thing I knew I wanted to have happen in the 5/5 flashback. I knew there were stars in flashback 1/5 and some in 5/5, and then the end. I constructed everything else around that love scene. That scene did not come out of me as explicit. It’s meant to be gauzy, emotional, experiential, obscure from the audience. It sounds silly, but it felt really private? It makes sense to me that they are *feeling* their way through their first time. They don’t know each other’s bodies and likes. That comes with time and growing intimacy. Plus, you don’t want me to only write sexy time scenes one way, do you?🙂

But I did want to give you a glimpse of them being a little more loose with each other—they way you come to expect from them (and me). The sleepover was a surprise and so were the things they were bringing out in each other sexually.

Sorry, but nothing is happening for me and hasn’t been for months. After I wrote the MacArthur Park rewrite at the beginning of the year, I had to take up other responsibilities that have dampened my creative writing time and imagination.

Maybe I need to adopt J Cole’s 7-minute drill method to build myself back up. Just write anything.

If y’all wanna drop some simple Olitz prompts, I would welcome those. It might help.

This is the chapter I was referencing above

I cannot believe that I am shedding real tears writing a chapter from Fitz perspective, for this short story. The juxtaposition of the violence in the scene with what he’s feeling/thinking are…interesting. I mean…that’s my interpretation anyway.
