Prompt-a-Thon: Go Forth and Be Awesome

[theun4givables]

Because this is pretty much how I envision the end of the damn book I'm writing and it got stuck in my head and I couldn't get rid of it until I wrote it...

“Hey, Jazz?”

Congrats on some "epic" amounts of writing! This was sweet and direct. It flows well.

[theun4givables]

Thanks. :) I have to write the last 10-15k between what I have so far and this, but I'm almost there.

I'm glad it flows well because flow and I have not been friends lately.

This is a perfect ending!

Awww thanks. <3

Aw, this is sweet.

I like how Jazz paces the stage when he gives his speech. Maybe it's because I'm one of those walk-and-talkers, but I could never really trust people who stand in one place to speechify. Makes them seem too stiff.

[theun4givables]

Jazz could never stand still when nervous. The more confident he gets, the less movement he does. But I think he still likes to pace a bit. :)

I don't always write sweet, so this was a little hard for me.xD

I don't do sweet often myself. I was actually embarrassed by my own story, but there just had to be kissin' at the end. Those two don't listen to a word I say.

[theun4givables]

See, my characters are very affectionate people and like to touch and kiss and hug and caress and all that all of the fucking time so I'm used to writing that. It's just...

Actually having the moment be soft and quiet and sweet and letting it *stay* that way is hard, for me. xD

This is so sweet, love it. I love how you couched a very poignant moment inside another very poignant moment, sneaky :).

It was the only way to tie it all together because in my head the book ends when Jazz and Savin get engaged and well, the previous draft was a jumble, timeline-wise. This just smoothed things out for me, a whole lot.

I love these two when they're happy.

Just read everyone's comments. I concur! It is sweet, perfectly sweet, but also clever. You description of Jazz's pre-speech jitters awakened my own sleeping butterflies. Savin's gentle infusion of confidence and reassurance is lovely.

I'm all for the gentle moments in life, and in fiction.

[theun4givables]

Awww, thanks. :)

The gentle moments don't get written enough sometimes, I think. I love ending this book on such a high note when I know how the next book is going to end... and how it's not pretty, at all. *sighs*
