introduction to cosmologythe space that separates us is breaking, is fragmenting into a thousand bright pieces of broken glass, and before long we will be able to reach our hands between the holes and touch, touch fingers for the first time. that touch will sustain us until you are able to crawl through the break and come to me, come to my arms where we will embrace. you will kiss me and I will kiss you and I will brush the glass from your midnight hair, and as they fall they will look like the tiniest of stars. you will hold me and I will relish the feeling of your body against mine and we will sleep like that, safe in our hammock in the sky.introduction to cosmology

several confessions.i. I admit that sometimes I want you.several confessions.
ii. I admit that sometimes I watch you from the corner of my eye, watch you to make sure you are watching me as I smile at someone else. I laugh effortlessly, stretch, sweep back my hair, and hope that to you it looks real.
On days like this, every movement I make is calculated, designed to taunt you. On days like this I am weak, worthless, easily conquered--one touch, one glance would ruin me. And then I look at you again and want to be conquered.
iii. I admit that you make me breathe faster. My lungs respond to your nearness with panic because to

demon novel: chapter oneDemons didn't fear us, but what they did fear was rain.demon novel: chapter one
Rain weakened them like it did all things magical, so when the clouds started growing dark, demons knew to dematerialize until the storm was over. I was counting on this fact-and the fact that the weather wizards at the University had been brewing a rain for days-to give me tonight off.
Which is why, when I heard the first rumble of thunder and the patter of raindrops on my apartment windows, I was not at all expecting to be warned of nearby demons. But as I closed my curtains and was about to settle in gratefully for a quiet night, I was struck suddenly by the

the obligatory firefly quote 
LazydeviantID
| once upon a time there was a beautiful princess who measured her soul in yoctograms and understood transformers. she once wanted to be a pianist but found out her fingers were wrong and then decided to write fantasy and found out she was better at poetry. once upon a time there was a girl. she looked in her mirror on the wall and it burst into flames and shattered. she dreamed of dragons. she wanted to believe in magic. once she wanted to fence. once upon a time there was a person who loved trees and fires and oceans. one day she dived into the blue sea and disappeared into a whirlpool and no one ever saw her again. (except, if you look very closely and squint your eyes and if the moon isn't too bright and the lights are off you might see her, up in the sky, in the shape of a turtle.) |

I heard about NaNoWriMo. I really want to try it now... o: And your little excerpts of writing are beautiful :3
NANO WILL EAT YOUR SOUL. DX But it's HEAPS of fun and I'm enjoying myself immensely even while being soul-eaten. But... I don't advise you start now. It's kind of late, and it won't be worth it to slave over a novel and then not make it on Nov. 30. Next year! 8D
Thank youuuu~ <3

I had a novel I was writing...I think I only got to 24000 something words before I started doubting myself and left it alone. It was the same for both drafts..o.o
You're welcome! And what's the novel about, the one you're working on?
