This is a whole new world I am stepping into. This world of writing words and having people read them. People... I don't know.
I have been a voracious reader for years and have also written when I had the time. I have kept numerous journals and of course wrote the angsty poetry of a teenager who no boy wanted to date in High School.
I went through a period where I would write my best friend on the other side of the country, more than 3,000 miles away from the Sandwich Islands I was living on, in Elizabethan Prose. She and I not only wrote our lives that way but we had created stories about our lives as if we were living during that time. We had a love affair with all things Shakespeare and loved reading our historical romances. We dreamed and romanticized that time but in reality; who wants to sleep on straw and rarely bathe? My OCD would have OCD if I lived then.
So I am trying this writing thing out. I did write a bit of fan fiction for a series I adored and entered a contest under the FF name. I has had good response as of today. But this event, the Love's Landscape event for the M/M Romance group on Goodreads, this is a big deal. Maybe I am making it bigger than it should be, maybe I am not making it big enough? I am not sure. All I know is on a good day where my emotions were high, I claimed a reopened prompt and have been putting my fingers to the keyboard to bring these boys to life.
Their sexual tension, the UST the prompt writer asked for, will be played out to the best of my ability and there will be music. Music is a form of expression I adore and have used many times to portray emotions I have been unable to express. My boys will have the same problem and use music the same way. I am crossing my fingers it translates well.
