Via the fine folks at Electric Lit – How to Name Your Big Important Novel. Apparently mine is The Left Hand of Anxiety of the d’Urbervilles, which is, I dunno, weirdly appropriate?
– Petra
Tender is the Anxiety Mockingbird?
…Nope.
Hmm. ‘A Clockwork Love Bible’. I think it’s steampunk. I might actually have to see whether I can write (some of) this….
People think first love is sweet, and never sweeter than when that first bond snaps… Yet that first broken heart is always the most painful, the slowest to mend, and leaves the most visible scar. What’s so sweet about that?
“Ring…huh. Let’s see…if, and I do mean IF I were to give up my oodles of freedom and wild nights of fun…I really think it wouldn’t matter. I mean, if I loved someone enough to tie the knot, I don’t think the ring itself matters. If the relationship was that far along they would know enough about me to find something I liked anyway. So…blue I guess. Something blue.”
Adriwyn sighed wistfully. ‘So much f’ preparin’ it in advance for y’, an’ bein’ set up to be y’ jeweller o’ choice.’ She gave a wry smile and sipped some brandy.
“You are a sly one! Thinking about rings already before we’ve even finished a drink! Moving a little fast, hmmm?” She flashed a smile and leaned back in her chair once she had finished her teasing remark. “What about you? Shouldn’t I have a hint to what ring I should be looking for to please you?”
She giggled softly at first, then sighed. ‘The jewellery be my business an’ liveli’ood, m’lady. But, f’ me…? I’s ‘ad a ring afore. I gave it back when… I ‘ad to leave ‘er.’ She took a drink. ‘An’ I don’ reckon to be ‘avin’ another. I ain’ real… monogamous. Wouldn’ wanna be settin’ any wrong expectations from wearin’ one.’
I am going through a quite
rough path right now. In these last few days i’ve been helping a friend
that was dealing with domestic violence, and while i was out, my house
has been robbed.
So i am sorry if i take longer than usual to answer to your questions, while i put my life together again.
I am counting on you to help me share my page, my work and my store
with your friends, so i may be able to recover from all this mess.
I truly appreciate the support and kind messages you send me, and THANK YOU SO MUCH for staying there all the time ❤ ❤ ❤
