Tuesday, Iām in love.
the west wing | joey lucas/josh lyman | 2k words | post-episode s01e20, canon divergent, awkward flirting, mutual pining
Hidden away in the far corner, she's chosen to sit with her back to the wall. She's concentrated, sipping out of her White House mug (the very same Josh had gifted her, he guesses). An organized pile of dot matrix pages fill the square table. A roller suitcase leans against the table leg, airline tags still attached at the handle, reading DCA-LAX and then back. On the chair next to her is a leather messenger bag, strap saggy around the frame of the chair.
Kenny is nowhere in sight.Ā
Josh second-guesses whether he should or shouldn't, but he'd seem like an ass if he didn't, right? You miss all the shots you don't take.
(Or: the "regular Tuesday suit" brings luck, again.)

turning 31 is new glasses and going to the gym in the morning. itās getting a curious george purse because i refuse to give up my childlike wonder. itās sparse phone calls from family because they are all busy. itās getting my favorite donut at dunkin and going around town to get all my birthday treats. itās realizing the month is almost over which means, check notes, i have 14 days until i meet my best friend and see my favorite hockey team. turning 31 means embracing aging in a way i wasnāt taught. itās grieving my dog because he should be here for me to give him 31 kisses. itās being so thankful and so overcome with love for the people in my life and still crying at the end of the night because i canāt stop missing my dog. turning 31 is bittersweet and blowing the candles on my cake to wish life stops giving me curveballs and lets me enjoy this one for a change.

Every time I think I have a handle on procreate, I realize I do not in fact have a handle on it. Thank goodness for YouTube tutorial š«¶š» I have tried to draw every day or every other day. I even drew something of my own imagination yesterday! Today I drew some donuts that I think are pretty cute. I didnāt follow a tutorial but they certainly arenāt original. I think in the next few days Iām going to try to draw Poppy from Animal Crossing. Weāll see how it goes.
I followed a tutorial step by step for the mountains and loosely followed a tutorial for the alien dude; I did all the steps just designed the little fella. The ocean thing is something I drew while watching the kraken play last night (can you spot the kraken? lol) and then the donuts!

With vanilla extract being a meme, I wanted to share some black history of Edmond Albius a black slave who revolutionized vanilla pollination.
He used a technique he learned of pollinating melons to polinate the orchids to create the vanilla beans. Vanilla was rare and a luxury mainly due to only being able to be pollinated by its natural pollinator in Mexico.
unfortanely, he didnt receive any money for his discovery despite being called the main man who revolutionized pollination, he died in poverty...
everyone say thank you Edmond

free resources to write a novel in 2024
hello hello! it's me, rach!
as the new year approaches, many of us set goals and resolutions - myself included. one of my goals for 2024 is to write a novel (I've been procrastinating on this for quite a long time now). i assume that some of you might have the same goal, that's why I'm writing this post today.
over 2023 i've been releasing some freebies for authors just like me, so I thought I could compile my favorites in this post. hope you find this useful :)
1) the writer's workbook
this workbook has over 60 exercises to help you develop characters, scenarios, etc. if you're ever stuck, I'm pretty sure this workbook will be your best friend.
2) author's corner (notion template)
this is the most downloaded freebie in my shop! it is a notion dashboard with everything you need to organize your writing and has some templates included (like scrivener)!!
3) another notion template
this one has two themes you can choose from: cottage-core and dark academia. they're very similar to the previous template, but this one is more recent and I added some new features. feel free to explore both and pick the one you like the most.
4) the author's journal
this is a cute printable with 20 pages that will help you stay on track and manage your social media accounts as a writer who shares their work online. you can also register what you're currently writing and your personal research and resources.
5) plan your book printable
this is a 6-page printable for you to fill out and plan your book easily and effectively.
6) excel sheet to organize tasks & word-count
this is a simple excel sheet, but it is very effective for keeping track of your tasks & word-count of your novels. also, it is 100% customizable to your liking!
that's all for now! feel free to explore my gumroad shop where I have plenty of freebies to grab! also, don't forget to subscribe so that you never miss any opportunity to get a goodie for free :)
hope this post was useful!
have a nice day,
rach
