Thank you! 😊😊😊

1. How many words have you written this year?

Total words written: 62,883 (so far)

Total words posted: 13,534 (so far)

9. Favorite pairing you wrote for this year?

I'm going to have to go with Don Lockwood/Cosmo Brown(/Kathy Seldon) from Singin' in the Rain because they're about the only pairing I wrote for this year (not counting my OCs/original fiction, but I don't think I ended up writing much romancey-bits for those). Though I do have a Don/Cosmo/Kath fic in the works that I've poked at some this year, the only one that I finished and posted is pre-film, so it's just Don/Cosmo.

10. What work was the quickest to write?

The Last of the POWs, which, looking back at old Tumblr posts, took me about three days 😳 Of course, it was my second attempt at that particular AU, so if you want to count all of the writing that I didn't end up using, it took me about a month.

The Last Escape took me about a week, which also deserves a 😳

Study Spanish with me again? I'm using duolingo again and my username is fairylitsunsets if you wanna add me. I've always been a visual and auditory learner so I'm hoping to hop back into language learning and start with Spanish. As for the color scheme...I'm trying to follow Duo's colors on there already.

Guys, I really need your help.

I’m sorry for posting this here, but I feel as if my studies and education are largely dependent on the inspiration and support my mother has given me. So it just feels right. I came home from college yesterday and my mother informed me that the pain she’s been experiencing is getting worse and worse. I’m starting to fear that if I don’t help her get surgery in 2019, she might be moving into a level of nerve damage that can’t be repaired. I want my mom to be able to live painlessly and without constantly being aware of every step she takes and how much it hurts. She’s sacrificed so much for me, and it’s now my turn to do whatever I can to see that she’s taken care of. Even a dollar would mean so much to us.

allô 💕

1: Do you have a crush at the moment?

i do not. don’t know if it’s sad or not because i mean i did finally get over the crush i had on my best friend who’s very straight so

22: Do you think people should date their friends?

that question confused me because i thought, who would say no? so yes i do think they should. i honestly don’t trust people enough to start dating a complete stranger (like dating app sort of thing) and i’ve only ever had strong crushes on people i was already friends with. i mean yeah you have to be aware that it could go wrong but i still think it’s better like this (is this an unpopular opinion?) and most of my friend’s relationships (cause we all know i haven’t dated anyone) started as friends way before dating.

42: Have you ever read “Romeo & Juliet”?

📔 - do you take notes?

definitely! but not all the time, if i find that the info is redundant i wont take notes

✍🏻- how do you write papers?

i usually start them the day its assigned bc i know i will be too stressed out if i start it the day before its due. most times i will do a brief outline of what i want to write then i’ll work on a paragraph or a page (depending on the deadline) a day until the due date
