“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas”

Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

I'm working on a summary-ish thing so my beta can tell me I don't have enough (any) plot before I write too much of the draft. Under themes, I just noted: sexy vampire biting, the importance of public libraries.

I'm researching drumming for a character and I am trying very hard not to get so deep that I want to learn. (I actually wanted to when we started learning instruments when I was in elementary school but my parents insisted I learn something quieter.) Anyway, this is not method writing. Fiction, JJ!

Unexpectedly (well I’ve known for a week) alone for the day on Thanksgiving. Pie, fancy drinks, and writing a story will get me through the day.

Gotta finish this draft this month, time for a soundtrack of Bizet operas for writing time.

Babycakes has after school knitting club and apparently they each get to pick a song to listen to. “I picked Na Na Na but it said it had swear words so I chose Welcome to the Black Parade and everyone loved it!”

Listening to What a Catch, Donnie always makes me think of two things 1. incredible to put a goodbye song to your band on the album you're about to tour, and 2. freeway chase to rescue a turtle in a mobile library van. (I mean I guess only @ataratah.bsky.social will understand the second one.)

Relatedly, Babycakes has decided they want to be a psychopomp.

Watched the Na Na Na music video with Babycakes, accidentally got them super invested, reluctantly showed them SING where everyone dies, and then spent a while explaining the LLTBP timeline theories.

But what if I got a very small tattoo while I wait for my very large tattoo appointment….

I miss themed playlists. Mix tapes. Sharing a bunch of songs that have you all twisted up inside. I think we should do an exchange, or a fest, or a thing. Would you be interested in a thing?

Came up with a banger first line for a draft I haven't touched in five years. Thanks brain?? Been letting that one cook a while?

Custodian is telling stories of some people he worked for in high school who were clearly mobsters. "....his right hand man, that poor guy, we found him in the trunk..." YOU WHAT

Extremely niche reference to Dimension 20 A Starstruck Odyssey: I have a villain in this story that I gave a ridiculous poncey long name and I keep forgetting it and calling him Connie Lee Carter Van Helsing.

Struggling with the smallest things today. Can't stand the quiet but all audio I try is distracting. Can't sit still long enough to focus but I don't want to do anything but write. Brain why.

Every time someone uses the phrase "...gets more than they bargained for" in an AO3 summary, "Sugar, We're Going Down" should start loudly playing. If it's a bandom fic, Actual Patrick Stump should appear.
