Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #3: It’s So Fluffy, but…

[Alternate Text: A GIF from Despicable Me that has a little girl holding a massive, pink and white unicorn plushie. She is shaking it while happily exclaiming: ‘It’s so fluffy!’]

Writing scenes with the dog can be so fluffy until you realize she probably won’t ever want to play fetch with a stick and will tend to stay close to the MC’s side. 🥺 The good news for those of you who love/like the puppy, is t...

Hello Hickory Patrons! 🍂

Evergreen patrons will be able to view the pieces, but only you all will get to cast a vote for it. I have different themes and groupings in mind, though I thought it best to start with some of the characters you encountered during the start of your visit...

Surprise #2: Mrs. Dorran's Tumultuous Trifle Recipe

[Alternate Text: A layered trifle is contained within a crystal serving dish. Layers of chocolate cake, a cream cheese mixture, and kirsch-soaked cherries are clearly visible to create a pattern.]

"Are these right?"
You stop idly stirring the cream cheese mixture when R stage-whispers that question to Mrs. Dorran, intentionally keeping their focus on the cutting board despite seeking guidance. Segments of cake are lined up with an unerri...

Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #2: The MC and Their Nightmares

[Alternate Text: A grayscale DJ Khaled saying ‘another one’ once before that scene is doubled, and then quadrupled so he is saying ‘another one’ in multiple, tiny tiles in a single GIF.]

Look, the nightmares are significant to the plot (and engaging to write for me), so I’m sorry @ the MC, but you’ll be getting another one pretty soon. In some ways, you’re already in one. 😉
