Hey, there 2018...let's talk in gifs

Obligatory, sorry I haven't posted

But I have been really enjoying Lile's short stories like crazy 

Greetings From Le Visnet had me like

 Sunday Nights in Savannah had me like

Anti-Cinnamon Buns / School Shuffle Had Me Like

As for me ? Well...my writing process

looks a lot less like this

And has looked more like this

 

Although sometimes it feels like I'm doing this

 COME BACK TO ME PLOTBUNNIES !

I'm not sure if I'll ever write another serial again, but I like dipping in and out of these worlds and I'll keep doing that in serials as long as I can.

Virtue +

To be honest when I posted the first part of Virtue I hadn't finished it, I'd just wanted to get a piece of it out there so I had something to show for ALL my NaNo-ing. But now I've finished it and will be posting it in three parts (so...one more part after this part). Also, I think I told someone there would be "rage wear" and there actually isn't. My bad.

I...also...am currently writing  two companion pieces to Virtue. Let's just codename one, hmm...Glassdoor and the other one...um, let's call it Lucky. I'm not sure if they are canon (especially Lucky) and they're both kind of over angsty, self-indulg-y and weird. I don't know... I'm just really trying to work this Haley/Maxwell thing I started out.

I really feel like my muse has left me  lately, but the plotbunny for Lucky just attacked me out of nowhere. It was so bizarre to have this story come to me and then not leave....but yeah, not sure if it's cannon

Also, those codenames mean literally nothing.

UL Sidepiece 

I do have 5,000 words on this UL follow up. I know where I want it to go but I'm not sure how to end it. I hope to post it soon-ish though. It's a lot of Clark family fluff with a pinch of drama.

FZA

This is still going slowly, but I think when I run out of things I may just post the prologue of this just to give you all a taste.

So, as you can tell I have been having trouble with endings. There is actually a short story collection called Massive Cleansing Fire and it features interconnected short stories that all end in a massive cleansing fire and you guys....I'm tempted sometimes (mostly with Vice stories).

Virtue Part II

Recap

Virtue takes place after Alex Haley is released from Ft. Pride, an RLA prison camp where he'd been locked in a cell with murderer and tattoo artists Forge DeCartes by Kenneth Maxwell.

He's been working in the factory of the Shy Cartel's cover company, The Mojave Blade Company, to pay for a hit on Maxwell. However after a year, Maxwell becomes a federal judge and the price goes up. To earn more money Haley agrees to work in Control, the secret brothel within the brothel run by Jean Dory.

This passage is going to come back up:

The conversations lull the moment Haley steps in and for a moment he gets the feeling they are all staring at him, but their eyes are well above his head and directed at Jean. 

“Mr. Dory-,” a  gorgeous man in his thirties, with dark hair and impeccably Roman features, calls walking up to them. “I’d like to talk to  you  later tonight about--,”

“Not today, I’m afraid.” Jean says, reaching out to  stroke the man’s now distraught face. “Talk to Charlotte about fitting you in my schedule. I’ve got a new employee to show around.”
