Ooooh I love this meme 🙂

From upcoming untitled Monthly Rumbelling fic

He couldn’t blame her for that, she’d been so kind spending the time she had with
him, and he just hoped that they would be able to stay friends.

Belle shifted, slipping off his lap to snuggle back against his side. “Not really but I’ll
leave if you want.”

Besides it was Belle seeing him naked that he feared, when she saw his scars and his
mangled leg, he hoped that she would run a mile. She deserved so much better
than a broken down single father, who couldn’t even make it through the night
without waking sick and shaky from nightmares.

After a minute he dared to glance back over. Neal was absolutely enchanted, hanging
on Belle’s every word. Gold’s hand shook as he stirred the dinner.

“We were in a bar dearie,” Gold said sarcastically. “Do you really expect me to talk business where I could be so easily overheard.” He gave her a disdainful look. “Get out
and grow up. Come back to me when you have any idea how this game is really played.”

From upcoming WIP – Ripple Effect
“What’s going on?” Young yelled, striding into the gateroom. He caught sight of Belle and moved towards her. “Leave the damn supplies!”

Rush quickly began to run the numbers. The Hammond couldn’t beam them out unless they were on the surface, their best bet would be the Stargate. However, they would have to act quickly, naquadria was notoriously unstable.

Her chestnut colored hair, carefully tied back in a tidy bun, caught his eye first. She gave him a knowing smirk and Rush smiled softly. Belle would never let him hear the end of this.

From upcoming WIP – The Winning Bid (working title)
She could forget about going back for her final year of college, she could forget the future she wanted for herself. It had all turned to dust unless she did something drastic.

From upcoming WIP – Nightwalkers

Idly Belle wondered if Gold knew. She bit her lip, not sure whether to tell him. She
wanted the games to stay as they were until the murderer was caught, and if Gold was furious about a cheating scandal, that might be difficult.

“It was about 3am I think.” Gold shrugged. “Ashley was alive when I left, she was helping clear up the bar. However, I was the first one to actually leave.”

Given the circumstances, it would be easy to get a warrant and Belle kicked herself
for not checking that David had run full financial checks on all of their suspects. Money was a powerful motive.

Neal sat back and scowled. Emma raised an unimpressed eyebrow at him and he tried to scowl harder, but his lips twitched, and he smiled without his consent. He wanted to be grumpy, he felt out of sorts, but it was impossible to maintain a bad mood around Emma.

I have a lot of writing ask memes in that tag heh. I hope I picked the right one! I’m fairly certain I did because it was a title match but if I got it wrong, then feel free to ask again 🙂

5) Do you think stories can change lives? Is there a story that has changed yours?

Yes I do think stories can change lives. Sometimes in big ways because by identifying with characters or situations people can have revelations about themselves. They can finally understand something they’d been feeling for a while, they can realize that they aren’t alone etc. It can be in smaller ways as well, for instance letting people escape reality for a better world for a little while. Giving them hope by letting them see that the bad guys can be defeated, or that somebody in a bad situation can get into a better one.

Stories can change lives in a lot of ways. What I’ve just said is only a fraction of the ways I believe it’s possible. Has a particular story changed my life? Yeah I think so. Certain stories or fictional worlds have come into my life when I needed them. I’ve drawn comfort from them, I’ve drawn inspiration. Plus it’s a story – Once Upon a Time – that has led me to this fandom. I’ll always be grateful for that.

7) Do you listen to music while you write/read?
I listen to music all the time. Unless I’m watching TV or with other people, then music is playing. I need it because music is a consistent sound and it normalizes the background, taking away the unexpected. I wouldn’t say I’m strictly listening to music all the time. Sometimes I pay attention to the songs but mostly it just helps keep me calm. So yeah I listen to music when writing/reading, it helps with the focus. Otherwise I’m constantly jumping at every slight bump or sound of conversation. My bio is accurate! I never go anywhere without my iPod 🙂
