nmcwriting’s 1k follower celebration - the angel peter by @hazeywrites

hazel !! i hope you’re doing well !!

12: name of your favourite playlist?

aйна. it’s a playlist vika made for me. she doesn’t know how much i appreciate it though bc she switched to apple music now >:(

35: average time you fall asleep?

average is at around midnight i believe

50. what made you laugh the hardest you ever have?

i don’t think i know that, actually ... maybe when my uncle tells one of his ridiculous anecdotes, or when i’m around my best friends! i’m generally a person who laughs a lot so it’s quite difficult to tell

4. have you ever been published, or do you want to be published?I’ve never been published, but maybe one day…? when I imagine my wips, I imagine them as full on published books and complete stories, but I also feel like it’d be a long time before I was emotionally prepared for the process of trying to get myself published (besides you kind of need to actually write something first)

5. how much writing do you get done on an average day? anywhere between zero and a thousand words! sometimes I don’t write at all, sometimes I really get into it and just write and suddenly I have like 1000 words, maybe more. it’s pretty sporadic because it really depends on my inspiration.

17. what writing habits or rituals do you have? aside from listening to music, my habits are as random as how much I actually write on any given day to be honest dsjksjksk. 

Fun fact: this is the third time I got this prompt and the one time I actually managed to write something I like.

“What is your secret?” Lisabetta, the new Viscontessa di Belvior, asked when they were alone in the rose gardens of Montvere House. Hope and despair played on her youthful face as the shadows danced to a pale candlelight. “How do you endure this life, Marchesa?”

Once, when she was something more than broken shards and iron thorns, Sibilla would have felt pity for the girl, sympathy for another daughter trapped into a life of misery and pain.

Not anymore. Not for eight years.

She smiled then, smiled as she leaned in and whispered in Lisabetta ear, smiled as the girl flinched and took a step back, horrified. Sibilla‘s tongue was a whip and took pleasure in its use.

Flashing the viscontessa one last grin, she strolled out of the gardens and back into the glittering, colourful reverie of the ballroom. Sibilla couldn’t stop smiling at Lisabetta’s crestfallen expression, at the pain and despair etched into those large brown eyes, and she wondered how long it would take for the girl to break.

Her feet had barely touched the marble floor when an elegant, gloved hand appeared before her, one she could never— and would never — fail to recognise.

It was almost instinct now, to take that hand whenever it was offered. The whole world might hate her, but Dante Montvere was her friend, and he’d always be there to keep her from drowning in the abyss of memory.

“Aren’t you a mean one, Sibilla Vanier?” Dante inquired lightly as they made their way through the ballroom, his voice carrying a musical, teasing lilt. “The poor girl only wanted a glimpse of your immeasurable wealth of wisdom.”

“No one helped me when my parents me off, so why should I help anyone else?” The Marchesa replied far too cheerfully for it to be anything but mockery, nudging her partner towards the gambling tables. “We all learn to laugh in the midst of the inferno, Dante, and I laugh best when someone else is in misery. Now stop pretending that you care and let’s play a game of Crowns and Thieves, shall we?”

  I’m not happy with any way that I start Daybreak...

openings are hard tbh. I feel the same about my own wip

NO EXCUSES WRITING MEME, ASKBOX VERSION

LAST — the most recently written two sentences of my current project

hiiiiiii <3 that’s so great! i love hearing you guys have had a great writing session. like??? i love knowing that my mutuals are writing and in love with their wips. it just makes me so happy!!! <3<3<3 i’ve been busy. so exhausted and working a lot. haven’t gotten a lot of writing done but i’m hoping to get some done this weekend!

Hey, thanks for the ask!! I’m going to answer this for Roselle? Why not. 

35. Do they always rationalize errors? How do they accept disasters and failures?

Roselle usually takes things personally. When she makes a mistake, she internalizes it and reacts emotionally rather than rationally. Roselle learns from her mistakes eventually, but earlier in the story she breaks down or does something drastic when she fails or causes problems.
