Because she’s still potty training Poppy usually sleeps in her crate at the foot of our bed, but last night we fell asleep watching movies and I woke up to this furry lump next to my pillow. Good morning!

wtf, who thinks it’s ok to leave a comment like that? like seriously? haunted city is beautifully written. i love all of the characters and how original they are.
Oh thank you! I had a lot of fun with Haunted City. I spell worse than most people and have gone through grad school so I know all about it. At this point I am very comfortable working with my strengths and doing my best to shore up my weaknesses. It hasn’t stopped me from writing and I sure hope the fear of making mistakes doesn’t stop other people from starting. There is so many interesting places to grow as a writer and you’re always changing. It’s never perfect but it always gets better and that’s what keeps me going.
Holy crap. I’m too tired for this shit.

On this day in music history: June 4, 1983 - “Juicy Fruit” by Mtume hits #1 on the Billboard R&B singles chart for 8 weeks, also peaking at #45 on the Hot 100 on August 6, 1983. Written and produced by James Mtume, it is the biggest hit for the R&B/Funk band led by percussionist James Mtume. The son of saxophonist Jimmy Heath (The Heath Brothers), and formerly a percussionist for jazz legend Miles Davis, Mtume will form the band named after him in 1978, signing a deal with Epic Records. he track is written largely in the studio, with Mtume writing each verse as lead singer Tawatha Agee completes her vocal on the previous one. The bands’ label Epic Records will initially be hesitant to release the song, feeling that radio will not play it due to the provocative double entendres in the lyrics (an alternate version will be serviced to radio, replacing the line “I’ll be your lollipop, you can lick me everywhere” with “…candy kisses everywhere”). Within a week and a half of its release, the single will be the most added record on R&B stations across the country, immediately connecting with the public. It will quickly sell over a million copies in the US without cracking the Top 40 on the pop singles chart. “Juicy Fruit” will gain enduring popularity over the years when it is sampled or interpolated by numerous rap and R&B artists most notably on The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Juicy”, and on singles by Warren G, and Keyshia Cole. “Juicy Fruit” is certified Gold in the US by the RIAA.
Let's Edit Togethers
Hey all, so PLEASE ADD COMMENTS! You will need me to add you to the doc through gmail & I am only going to leave it open until the end of August. I am particularly looking for help with the Spanish which is of the Mexico/California slang variety, so if you know someone who is fluent I’d love to chat with them. I will be actively editing so I apologize if sections get a little funky as I work through them.

Yes I would love to to read your original works. My one mutual and I were saying how we really want to read Juicy Fruit. I may, and I apologize for this, imagine zayn and harry as the characters lol. I have a question, did you write Juicy Fruit in 1st POV?
I write in 1st person quite a bit. It seems to flow faster, especially with disaffected young men for some reason haha. Although I switched Haunted City from 3rd to 1st in an attempt to complete it and I really wish I hadn’t. If I ever edit that one I will probably change it back.
