Find The Word (×2)

Your words are: PERFUME, DIRE, BEAT, & FRACTURE.

My words were: noon, neat, nurture, and nose & lovely, frantic, hit, and manage. Excerpt origin listed under each. Hidden under the cut.

(After)noon

I tip my head forward so our lips just touch in what can barely be called a kiss.

Light trickles in from the window, late afternoon sunlight that makes the silver in his veins glow and burn. His lazily blinking eyes are alive with golden light, making him every bit as eternal on the outside as he is to me every single moment of every single day. When I pull away, he follows, leaning into another kiss.

- Animatronic Saga Short Story

Neat

“Do you have a calendar?”

Her head tilts to the side. I’m opening my mouth to tell her to forget it, but then she’s rolling her eyes again and pulling a 15-month flip calender from her bag, images of puppies staring up at me. “You doubt me. I’m offended.”

Flipping through, I find December-- a cocker spaniel in a Santa hat-- already filled in with her neat handwriting. December 16th is circled in red. The showcase. Probably the most important performance of the season and the cleanest time to fold back into the company. She’s right. (Of course.)

- Four Kinds Of Falling

Nurture

What’d she wish for?

“She wished for a garden full of things green and growing and vibrant. A garden bursting with lives she could nurture and take care of.”

- Secondary Series

Nose

"You're staring." I refocus to find his tired fond eyes searching my own face. One of his hands finds the nape of my neck and tugs gently at the hair there until we're nose to nose. "Creeper."

I laugh, the sound loud as always, but he doesn't even flinch, just leans in and presses our swollen lips together. "Your creeper," I mumble when he pulls away.

He tugs my hair again. "Yeah."

- Animatronic Saga Short Story

Lovely

I found a pair of scissors in one of the bathroom drawers. Of course, I look lovely. I’ve remade my own clothes a thousand times over because none of them fell quite right. Maybe the slit up my thigh, cut down the center of the square neck, and layered high collar underneath still aren’t. But they’re at least closer.

- Secondary Series

Frantic

“Can you get onto your knees for me?” The nodding is more frantic now, followed by him trying to flip onto his stomach with me still on top of him. “Woah. Hold on. There’s no rush.”

- Animatronic Saga Short Story

Hit(ting)

Something snapped at my wrist and for one delicate moment, I just stared up into the most beautiful pair of eyes I’d ever seen, suspended, floating, flying.

Rrrip! And then I was falling falling falling

with no chance of ever hitting the bottom.

- Animatronic Saga

Manage

And like the American Dream, I get a basket with sticky handles. The balance required to stop for groceries on crutches is no small feat, nor is the fact that I manage to knock at least one item off of every shelf.

From my romance novel, Four Kinds Of Falling. Putting under the cut for length and briefest mention of dubcon:

The lights start to dim, the ads shifting into previews for movies to come or, if they’re like most theaters, movies that are already playing but haven’t been replaced yet. In the dark, his arm against mine feels all the more prevalent.

And then his breath’s running across my ear. “You’re gonna think I’m insane.”

I also think I’m gonna cry.

I do remember the last time I came to the movies.

It was sophomore year of high school and my boyfriend tried to undo my pants in the crowded theatre and I stood up so fast my box of Nerds went everywhere-- too loud too loud-- and the girls in the row in front of us shrieked and then we were escorted from the room and when I climbed into Carlos’ car out in the parking lot, I could hardly make myself even buckle up. It all seemed so surreal. Like a dream.

But now Alex’s voice is in my ear and all I can see is that girl talking to her friend in the front row about nothing good.

I didn’t even know what candy he liked.

“Can I pretty please…” I hold my breath, dreading what his next words are going to be, what my next words are going to be. “Pour of one these boxes of M&Ms into the popcorn?”

From Four Kinds Of Falling (because that's what my brain decided we needed to write):

“So while the first portion of my plan still stands-- sunlight is good for you, you know--” I roll my eyes. “I am now taking you to the movies when you are all sunshined out.”

Something sparkles in my chest; I pretend not to feel it. “Oh, would you look at that? Wow, my sun-o-meter just filled up. Let’s-”

“Nice try.” [Alex] throws out an arm, it landing over my chest, just gentle pressure keeping me where I am. “Soak up the sun, you filmophile.”

“That is not a real world.”

“Hush. Photosynthesize.”

I take another sip of my drink. Alex doesn’t move his arm for a long, long time.

Happy Storyteller Saturday, Tori!

What about you WIP is on your mind right now? Are you excited to start a new story or chapter? Dreading an editing pass? Glad that that section is over?

All answers are fair!

Hey, Sam! Thanks for the ask, love!

Well other than my special secret something shhhhhhhh....

My romance novel has been on my mind a lot lately, mostly because it's a story I just really want to work. I mean, I want all my stories to work, duh. But after peeling this story apart to look at its inner workings, I'm determined to bring out what's important about it.

That being said, I'm at a dreaded crossroads.

I can keep trudging forward, knowing that what I'm writing is wrong but seeing what I can get out of it

OR I can essentially all but scrap what I've written so far and implement the corrected timeline and changes.

Ugh, sigh. Today, I was actually considering starting an outline for this book. Which would be the first ever novel that I will have attempted a full outline for. Because the book centers around the healing of an injury, I have to stick to a pretty solid timeline and I do think an outline would help with that.

But I hate outlines and I'm not all that good at them. So I still don't know. I guess I'll just keep procrastinating on it a little while longer. 🙃

[toribookworm22]

Right back at ya with STS!

Two polar opposite OCs of yours are at a moderately fancy restraunt. The meal was enjoyed without any major issues. That is until the bill comes. For the sake of narrative both have independently decided they would pay the bill in full, wanting it to be a suprise they have not told the other party. How would these two work out who fronts the bill?

Hey, love! Thanks for the ask!

Decided to mash some characters from different stories together:

Merieh from StormWatcher

&

Charley from Four Kinds of Falling

They shouldn't get on this well.

Merieh's too anxious for most people, her brain running about three leagues ahead of her current position. And it's not that she's UN-social, but her life's pretty much lived between her antisocial sister and her adaptably content boyfriend.

Charley, on the other hand, would definitely describe himself as unsocial. There's a grand total of three people he likes. Everyone else has always let him down. Thus, he had really low standards for the evening.

But they get on well. Not spectacularly, mind you. They talk about what they like and where they live. Mention the important people in their lives. Make nice small talk. It's not uncomfortable. It's nice.

Merieh starts digging through her purse first.

They've just finished their little desserts when Charley notices the rummaging. "Looking for something?"

"Just my wallet."

"Oh." Charley's own hand stills on his pocket. "Why?"

Merieh's face goes pink as she finally pulls out her little wallet. "Well, I didn't want to say anything, but I'm paying for us tonight. My treat."

"Do you think I'm poor or something?"

Maybe someone should've warned her. Money's one of the things Charley is incredibly sensitive about. And she worries easy. "No! My goodness, of course not! I just have some saved up and I thought-"

Charley's already aggressively pressing his credit card down on the table. "You thought wrong! I picked this restaurant and I asked you here and I'm paying."

"I don't think that's quite fair."

"That's how you're supposed to do it."

Merieh flushes deeper, this time with a little annoyance seeping in. "If we were on a date, perhaps. But we're not."

"I already made the decision."

"I want to pay."

"I don't want you to."

For a moment, Merieh considers backing down. She thinks about sinking into her seat and putting her wallet back in her purse and handing Mam the money she was so proud to be able to spend for herself.

Then she hears Kib berating her in her head. She hears Daran asking for her opinions.

"I don't appreciate you brushing me aside."

Charley stiffens. It seems he's made her upset.

"You are allowed to wish to pay, but so am I. I was really excited to go out with a friend tonight and have the money to spend on me and them. It's rude of you to ignore that."

Charley's started shaking a little. "Oh." His voice is softer. "I'm sorry."

Merieh notices and reaches out a hand to take his. "Let's pay half each then. A compromise."

"A compromise?"

"Sometimes you have to make them. They're worth it if you like the person they're for."

From my romance novel, Four Kinds Of Falling (again, because I accidentally wrote two whole chapters just now):

“There’s an M&M stuck to your butt,” I tell him.

“What?!” Alex shrieks, spinning in a delirious circle in an attempt to find the offending piece of candy. “You ass! You let me walk around with chocolate on my pants!”

I just watch him, unable to stop myself from smiling. 

There’s a new knot in my stomach. And it has nothing to do with anxiety.

Hiya! How are things going writing wise? feel free to ramble about anything and everything

Hey, Athena!

Thank you for always sending me asks-- sorry, it's been taking me so long to answer them 😄.

I wanted to take this opportunity to talk about my romance novel a little bit though. I have yet to do an intro for it, but I've been working on it on and off for the past two years and last night, I got enough energy and inspiration on it to write two whole chapters.

As I was working on it though, I realized I needed to fact check some of my research.

So. Guess what I did today?

In case anyone needs to know the basic treatment regimen for a torn ACL:

How about a two-month old trial chapter blurb for my romance story?

I dont meant to spend the next two weeks practically glued to Alex, but, then again, I don't exactly do anything to stop it. Instead, my time at the coffee shop and at the park and, well, just about anywhere he is continues to grow. I eat lunch with him and we go on walks. I eat way too many blueberries.

We don't go over to each others'. We don't talk about work. And most importantly, we don't bring up my leg, my injury, or how therapy is slowly coming along.

It's just fun.

Hello & Welcome!

My name's Tori and welcome to my: Digital Bookshelf!

Bio:

I love everything about writing, so please send me any questions in regard to mine or yours! I love giving tips and motivation! I will hype you up! MORAL SUPPORT! 🥰

My library takes up most of my room, but I'm always looking for more books (recs welcome).

I'm a huge music lover and playlister.

I'm aro and ace-spec and am in love with the word queer. 💚🤍🖤

Pronouns are she/her.

Animatronic Saga:

Shut Down - Book 1 of The Animatronic Saga is out now and available for purchase on Amazon. It is also active on Goodreads. A proper Project Intro is still in the works, but I've linked the reveal post, with links, below. Main Tags: #animatronic saga #shut down

More info & current projects below the cut.

All my love,

~ toribookworm ❤️

Writing-Specific:

I started out in bad poetry and lyrics.

Novels are my favorite to write.

I also enjoy writing poetry, short stories, plays, and musicals.

Genre-wise, I tend to often fall under sci-fi & fantasy, though I certainly have my outliers.

Current Projects:

StormWatcher

A world devastated by storms.

This is my sci-fi book trilogy that currently only lives in short story form. My little science loving heart takes a turn on meteorology of the future.

Main Tags: #stormwatcher #kib gree

Prinz Charming

A dark fairytale retelling.

This is short story that I am currently turning into a novel. It is a mashup of fairytales twisted into an even darker form where there are no happy endings.

Main Tags: #prinz charming #dark fairytale retelling #malkaline

Four Kinds of Falling

A step. A slip. A trip. A stump.

This is my only straight-up romance novel-- funnily enough also a queer romance. Combining my love for dance with two stubborn boys, what could go wrong?

My Secondary Series

7 years later...

I can't say much about this one. Considering that it's actually the spin-off secondary series of The Animatronic Saga. But there is, of course, always more story to tell.

You Do Not Have To Apologize For Your Existence

Love letters to my younger self.

This is my first poetry collection. It's currently in editing and waiting for final illustrations before moving into publishing.

Main Tags: None currently, but

Brats!

1 mom. 6 six kids. All military family.

This is my most put together musical idea. While it hasn't been messed with in awhile, it lives very close to my heart and will eventually be worked on again.
