We’re not just desperate, but we’re funny too!

It’d the dead of winter, and we all know that nobody in their right mind would chose to move when there’s 6" of snow on the ground, but that’s where we’re at - why are we moving?

Reasons we’re moving:

*Health- My mother has been living with MS for years now, which means she can no longer walk well, nor move or lift anything.

She just recently had an MRI and a CAT scan showing an abnormality on her lung. We don’t know if this is related to the mold, or god forbid, is cancer - but we know that we cannot deal with either outcome in this house.

* A landlord who has not addressed issues, such as broken and dangerous front steps, supplying adequate fire alarms, and other issues such as:

-Heat - despite plastic on the windows, there is still cold wind entering the house, and the heat exiting the house. In addition to that, we hadn’t had heat until Nov. 1st, despite the cold, due to the landlord not having the heating system fixed.

- Mold in the basement and the walls, that has resulted in difficulty breathing while in the house (though the difficulty subsides when at friends houses) as well as other mold related illness symptoms.

Essentially, our living situation is no longer bearable, and though moving in the winter is not ideal, we can’t stay here any longer.

What we need:

We’re looking to raise $1,000 by December 15th to help with the cost of hiring movers (as stated above, my mother is disabled and I cannot move our possessions by myself) as well as help with paying for a security deposit on an apartment.

If anyone wants to donate directly via paypal or by mail, our paypal link is: paypal.me/moldrelief2018 and our mailing address is 105 Court Street #161 Middlebury VT 05753

Any help would be incredibly helpful and deeply appreciated!

I just bought $112 worth of fabric and sewing supplies and I'm crying because that's the most I've spent on myself in years.

I gotta be held accountable so here's what I bought -

Blue canvas for Captain Americas stealth suit

And several yards of different 1940s looking fabric for skirts and blouses.

If anyone reads this blog and sees that I haven't made anything with that fabric, kindly come kick my ass.

Geode Curse AU

Bizarre AU where Character A was cursed for their vanity and now has to wear an eye patch over one of their eyes. Character A explains it as an ‘accident’, but one day, Character B sees Character A without their eye patch on and gets a glimpse of what is underneath – a solid, sparking geode, which has begun to spread and transform the skin surrounding Character A’s eye as well.

How to Write When You’re Scared to Write, a novel by me: Someone who is terrified of writing.

I always read advice to beginners from professionals and they make it sound so goddamn easy: “Just do it!” “Start now!” “Just write a bunch/film a bunch” - It’s great advice and we should all follow it, but it’s more than that. Starting shit is scary as fuck y’all. 

So here’s my advice as a beginner to beginners: 

Keep a little notebook with you and write down every idea. Every. Single. One. You think you’re gonna remember them - “This is such a fantastic idea, it’ll stay in my brain, I don’t need to write it down.” WRONG. Write that shit in your little notebook because before you know it you’ll start thinking about what you want for dinner and it’ll be gone forever. I favor the little 3 pack Moleskine notebooks because they fit into my back pocket. 

Alternatively: Get a voice recorder. And get used to looking like a weirdo when you talk in it. I drive a lot for work, so I can’t always pause to write down an idea. THIS one is only $40 for a ton of memory. Also, the little buttons are nice so you’re not fumbling with the voice recorder app on your phone while you’re driving. 

Now for the fun part- 

Writing exercises. Just beginning to write your own shit is scary as fuck. You have to make up characters and plotlines, witty dialogue... Incredibly rewarding, but scary. Some more good advice I’ve heard is to “Just write a sentence. You don’t even have to keep it in the story, you can edit it out later. Just write a sentence.”

However, sometimes you gotta warm up your creative juices. Just get all them juices nice and warm. Ew. And it’s easier to do this with a throwaway story, or some creative exercise that doesn’t require you to create characters or plotlines. This is the reason I primarily write fanfiction. It’s nice to just WRITE and use characters who are already developed. 

One of my favorites is- If you’re warming up to write a screenplay, pick a scene in a book you love, or even some random book off the shelf, and write it in screenplay format. Not word for word, that doesn’t count. Imagine the scene and write how you see it. How the audience would see it. I’ll attach an example. 

On the other hand if you’re writing a novel, pick a scene from a movie or TV show and write that in novel format. Pick up on the subtext, what the characters might be thinking, decide whose point of view it is, how do those characters feel? Describe this visual scene in your own words. If you wanna take it farther, you can unpack the sentences. How?  

These are good ways to get into the writing mood without having to stress out too much. And now you’re warmed up and all ready to write your own shit. 

Okay that’s all I have for now. Time for me to go write some throwaway sentences. 

In the meanwhile, listen to this episode of Scripnotes https://johnaugust.com/2017/getting-stuff-written And then go and listen to ALL the episodes of Scriptnotes because they’re fantastic. And go look up John August on Youtube. 

My novel to screenplay exercise example under the cut. It’s a scene from Tithe by Holly Black that I like a lot. I didn’t edit it or do much besides write what I saw in my head.
