Hey, your artwork is so sweet! Can I ask what you are working in at the moment?

*attack hug* thank you so much! I’m really glad you liked it! *happy dance* 🙂

I have another art project in mind, one that’s *gulp* even more ambitious. I get pretty obsessed once I start a drawing though, so I’m not going to let myself even start it until after RCIJ. So yeah end of summer/early autumn for that.

Regarding writing. I’m struggling so much right now. It’s like words have just vanished. Although I haven’t actually even sat down and stared at a word doc this month. I love writing, writing is my life really but I got so down on myself about it last month that I’ve been avoiding it really. Everything I wrote last month was like pulling teeth, I just had this constant screaming in my head that it was all awful and why was I bothering, who was I kidding I’m a terrible writer etc. etc. so yeah I should really suck it up and try again.

So projects – WIP’s of course *hides in box of shame and drowns in guilt*, then there’s RCIJ as I mentioned. I have an idea for next months Monthly Rumbelling non-smut prompt that I’d like to write so there’s that. Then there’s also lots of other ideas (I have a big list) but I should really work on my WIP’s. I feel so bad that they’ve been neglected this long. I want to write them, I want to finish them, and I will. Believe me they have not been forgotten.

I hope that answers your question. Thank you so much for asking it! Also thank you again for your kind words *hugs you* it means a lot 🙂

TMI Tuesday! Counting Stars!Belle and Gold – how did you come up with the name Nadia for your daughter?

image

Belle: We looked through a book of names. Nadia means hope which just seemed perfect. It also sounds slightly unusual, or a little old-fashioned, just like Baeden or Alistair. Nadia Gold just felt right.

Gold: A perfect name for our perfect daughter. She’s just as brilliant and sweet and curious as her mother.

Belle: And as stubborn as her father perhaps? I think her first complete sentence was “do it myself!”

Gold: *laughs* I think she gets that from both of us sweetheart.

@rowofstars thanks for the tag 🙂

Five Things Meme
really begs the question of what about these five things? Is it things I love? Things I don’t like? The first five that come to mind? Sure why not go with the last one, checking my history I’ve already done the five I love so that might be different.

One song: Odd One by Sick Puppies
Two films: National Treasure, Captain America: Civil War
Three shows: Leverage, Flashpoint, Stargate SG-1
Four people: Lana Parrilla, Tony Amendola, Chloe Bennett, Clark Gregg
Five foods: bacon, yogurt, roast pork, casserole (I don’t even like that, what is with that brain?), pringles.

Conclusion, my brain is random and a little bit scary…

Stargate Atlantis

Nah | haven’t seen yet | didn’t like/gave up | like it | love it | highly recommend.

image

Why?: It’s Stargate! Ok I’m going to try and not write an essay about how much I love this show – keyword being try 🙂 I mean SG1 will always be my favorite of the three (sorry Rush) but Atlantis gave us well ^^ Atlantis! Oh I love that city so much, and the jumpers, and all the lore about the Ancients. Oh the unwritten fic I have spinning in my mind – so many stories! The theme music is incredible (seriously whoever did the music for Stargate is a genius) and I love the new characters.

I mean the show isn’t perfect, I’m slightly bitter even now that Elizabeth Weir was recast for the show, Sam Carter didn’t have enough screentime during season four, there were some dodgy storylines and initially they overfocused on the wraith. Oh yeah I said I wasn’t going to write an essay about this show … basically it’s brilliant! Not perfect but very enjoyable and a great part of the Stargate franchise, which is my favorite TV show of all time.

The Walking Dead

Nah | haven’t seen yet | didn’t like/gave up | like it | love it | highly recommend.

Why?: Just the title I’m afraid is enough for me to run a million miles in the opposite direction. I’m a big coward about stuff like that. It’s just really not my thing at all. I’m loads better than I used to be, ten years ago and I wouldn’t have been able to stomach watching a lot of the sci-fi I absolutely love now. However, I think that ‘walking dead’ is a step too far – or actually who knows? Like I just said ten years ago and the goa’uld on stargate would have creeped me out, maybe in another ten years I’ll be able to manage the walking dead 🙂

Ask Me? TV Series or Movie

Grimm

Nah | haven’t seen yet | didn’t like/gave up | like it | love it | highly recommend.

Why?: From reading the synopsis I should like Grimm. Someone I know in real life recommended it to me given my love of Once Upon a Time. I tried it ages ago, probably around the same time I tried Chuck. I went through a slew of shows testing them out to see what I’d like. I confess I didn’t make it through the first episode of Grimm. I’m not entirely sure now (in other words I don’t remember) what made me go “nope don’t like you” so quickly, because I do generally try and give things a fair shake. There was obviously something though or I wouldn’t have responded like that. Sorry!

TV Series: Chuck

Nah | haven’t seen yet | didn’t like/gave up | like it | love it | highly recommend.

Why?: This was on netflix, so free for me to watch. It’s the same story as with Lucifer really. I didn’t find anything objectionable about Chuck, it’s just nothing about it grabbed me either. It was ok. I watched the first few episodes and just decided I didn’t want to invest my time. I get more enjoyment out of rewatching the shows I love.

Ask Me? TV Series or Movie

Lucifer

Nah | haven’t seen yet | didn’t like/gave up | like it | love it | highly recommend.

Why?: This is on Prime so it’s free for me to watch. A lot of people I follow love it and so I decided to give it a try. I watched the first few episodes and it was ok. I didn’t love it but I didn’t hate it. I might watch more in future if I feel like it, I might not. I really didn’t have any kind of strong feelings one way or another. It was very so-so for me. I guess nothing about it particularly grabbed me.

Ask Me? TV Series or Movie

Man of Steel?

Nah | haven’t seen yet | didn’t like/gave up | like it | love it | highly recommend.

Why?: I’m very sorry anon but I tend to use this movie as an example where I’ve watched something and it’s “two hours of my life I’m not getting back.” Personally I thought it was a terrible movie. The way Jonathon Kent died was enough on it’s own but I also didn’t think the plot made sense, and it was unevenly paced. Basically not my cup of tea I suppose. Sorry!

WIP meme: laugh, wonder, fall

Thank you! Also good choices heh, I’ve written sod all in ages but you picked good words 🙂

Untitled GoldenLace Bonnie and Clyde

Gold laughed, actual honest laughter. That hadn’t happened to him in a while, but then he hadn’t been this amused in a while either. There hadn’t been much to laugh about inside, he had been far too busy calculating his next move.

*****

She was petite, and it pissed her off how occasionally she was intimidated by guys
because they towered over her even in heels. Gold’s slight build meant that wasn’t a problem, his accent sent tingles down her spine and his deft movements made her wonder what else he could do with those hands.

*****

He had never been the type of idiot to fall for a pretty face, and think with his cock rather than his brain. If he was going to even think, about thinking about taking this job, he needed to do so with a clear head.

From upcoming WIP Nightwalkers

Gold laughed, not a soft chuckle, but a full blown body shaking laugh. His face transformed, losing the smugness that made her want to slap him, and turning warm. Uneasily Belle realized that he was actually a very attractive man.

*****

Finally Aurora ran out of combinations for Belle to try and she was allowed to get dressed in her own clothes. Belle checked her watch and her eyebrows shot up to her hairline. She’d been trying on clothes for three hours, no wonder the whole process had felt interminable.

*****

Belle prowled round the table, taking care to look disinterested when her gaze hit the table. If Cora was paranoid about others cheating, perhaps to deflect attention from her own cheating ways, then the last thing Belle wanted was to fall under suspicion for that.
