shipping wars
hey tumblr when are you going to make personifications of ups and fedex to ship
you were saying
oh no
oh yes
now where’s the fanfic?
FedEx and UPS lay together, enjoying the warmth of each other’s bodies.
“I sure hope this lasts longer than 5 to 7 business days” UPS thought as he laid his head against FedEx’s shoulder.
“But what if we get caught?” asked FedEx, resting his head on UPS’ chest. “We won’t” UPS assured him. “But we’ve been doing this for 8 days now! They must know something has hap-” FedEx started, but he was cut off by a firm kiss.
“You’re forgetting that today is Sunday. we don’t deliver on weekends, so we still have two days together.” UPS said, smiling slyly. FedEx stared into UPS’ eyes. ‘Two days,’ FedEx thought, ‘Two whole days left.’
“I know how we can make ample use of our time,” said FedEx, kissing UPS’ neck gently. “And we can start right now.” he finished. FedEx kissed UPS’ neck once more before moving to his collar bones. He continued down UPS’ abdomen, pausing every so often.
Beneath the sheet, FedEx could feel…
his package

The emotional roller-coaster that happens within the first five minutes of getting an edit letter.
Denial
"Eh…thanks. For your advice, I mean. But no. Really no."
Anger
"THE FRICK DO YOU THINK YOU COULD SUGGEST THAT WHO THE FRICKITY FRICK FRICK ARE YOU TO FRICKIN FRICK THE FRICK."
Bargaining
"All right…you have some valid points…maybe…but if I try it like this instead…maybe…"
*floodgates open and everything they said makes perfect sense and you realize now how wrong you were and how much work you have to do because seriously EVERYTHING THEY SAID MAKES SENSE*
Depression
"I have…a lot of work to do. And I have…only half a bottle of wine."
Acceptance
"Okay. Fine. FINE. This is brilliant. You are brilliant. Everything you say is brilliant. And this book will BAD. ASS. because of you."

Carefully plot out novel. Start writing novel. Get halfway through when you realize...

Well. Today is the day. Champion, the final Legend book, is out in the world.
Here I am, sitting in my hotel room, at a loss for words, unsure how to feel now that I’ve said goodbye to the characters and places I’ve been so thoroughly immersed in for the past few years. I won’t lie; I’ve cried and fretted a lot. I’ve been alternately excited and scared. But mostly I am happy, so very happy, that I am sitting here and living my dream.
I don’t have many words today. It’s hard to vocalize exactly what I’m feeling right now. All I can say is this: The publishing world is very, very hard, and the life of a writer is full of twists and turns—both bad and good, most of it completely out of our control. I have been so extraordinarily blessed on my journey, to the point that I wonder if it’s all deserved. After all, I am only as good as my last book, and there are still a million things I need to improve on. Who knows what the future will bring? It’s a scary thought, but it also pales in comparison to how grateful I am for what I have today. I know I would not be here if it weren’t partly for lucky coincidence, for catching the general love for dystopian and science fiction stories. I know I would not be here without the support of so many amazing people and loyal friends. And I know I would not be here without my readers. Champion has been dedicated to you guys from the very beginning.
This is about as articulate as I can be. Thank you all for the honor of telling you stories.
