Tony: The good news is I was a good father tonight and read Peter a story for bedtime. The bad news is it turned out to be one of your spell books and now he’s a frog….
If you have writer’s block, here’s a fun thing. Get literally any book ever in the history of humankind, authored by a man. Find a woman in it (this is the hardest part). Write her story.
Your book is automatically better than the original. I will read it. I can’t wait to read it.
All those sainted/hated mothers, crazy ex-girlfriends, murder victims, tower-trapped princesses, token child characters inevitably named Suzie, dames with a great set of getaway sticks, teachers, maids, madwomen in cellars and attics, ghosts in white gowns haunting mansions, manic pixie dream girls, hookers with hearts of gold, Nurse Ratchet, Daisy Buchanan, Lady Macbeth, Marla Singer, all the dismissed placeholder women, all the “what’s she so damn angry about?” women, all the women who deserved so much better…what’s her story?
So I was scratching my girlfriend’s back and I decided to write ‘will you marry me’ on her back and as I was writing it she interrupted me and said yes I’ll marry you and my heart died… so guys, that’s how I proposed to my girlfriend
elementary school teacher dean organising the nativity play for his first graders and making his best friend cas help out with costumes and end up making out over glitter and camel masks
reclusive writer!cas going to winchester’s christmas store because he figures he should make an effort this year and falling in love with the boyish grin of owner dean and buying like a gazillion ornaments for a tree he doesn’t even own
cas dragging dean to a christmas craft fair only dean gets really into the tree topper stall and laughs and laughs as he makes an angel with a tan coat and glittery blue tie and little brown strands of wool for hair
dean teaching cas how to bake all sorts of spiced breads and loaves until the whole bunker smells like cinnamon and nutmeg and frosting and dean somehow ends up with floury handprints all over his cute lil butt
charity collector cas who has a spot outside dean’s favourite book store in town and who always looks so cold despite the huge scarf he wears so dean takes to bringing him hot chocolate every day and cas gets this little smile every time he sees dean coming down the street
cas who dresses up as one of santa’s elves at the mall and dean’s daughter emma is completely enamoured so they make several trips and it’s probably wrong to find an elf sexy and ask him out but dean totally does anyway
festive karaoke evening at the roadhouse and cas falls head over heels for the hot guy in the leather jacket singing ‘white christmas’
cas and dean being work colleagues who hate each other until the christmas party when they get drunk and stick their tongues down each other’s throats in the copy room
It’s been almost 3 years and I still can’t believe someone was cheeky enough to put “BIG O” on a slushie machine and have Cas BLOW THE LID WHILE TALKING TO DEAN.
