Pain Romanticized

It's so funny to me that the term "whump" can easily mean anything from "this character has a cold 😦 but here's another character taking care of him 🙂" all the way over to "this character is being viciously tortured to death" and sometimes those two creators are following each other.

When a character wakes up from a vivid nightmare about losing someone close to them and it shakes them to their core. No matter how much they tell themselves it was only a dream, they need to see B, hear B's voice, anything to be sure that B is alive and clear the haunting dream from their mind.

I believe in equal opportunity torture

Beat that woman up. Tie her to a chair and leave her there. Kick her until her ribs break. I want her crying and sobbing and shaking and begging for mercy

They admit it. They admit we all just want to be tenderly cared for. I feel so validated.

i feel like getting shot would feel so interesting for two seconds and then it would probably feel bad

What if we kissed 😳😳😳 before being violently pulled apart by the hands of strangers

What if we kissed 😳😳😳while both captured by the villain by stretching as far as our chains would allow us

What if we kissed 😳😳😳 in the precious seconds we had left before you were dragged away to unknown suffering and peril so that you would be imbued with a sudden and unexpected infusion of dopamine moral courage and fortitude

Oh, I should add — it changed a lot in the editing + rewriting process, so it it's pretty different now. If you're curious about the new version but don't want to pay for something you previously got online for free, now is your moment!! 💙

Out of curiosity as a fellow author, how do you make an ebook free on Amazon? I was told the minimum price is 99 cents.
