hd_writers | SATURDAY CHECK-IN!!

tryslora posting in

Have you reached the end of Saturday in your time zone? Then it's time to check in! One day is done, which means you've been plenty productive, and still have loads of time to write! Intermediary check-ins are completely optional, but if you want some extra encouragement come and tell us how you are doing and encourage your fellow writers also!

Remember you can always find encouragement here, in the chatroom or in Serious Business Writing Room.

It's not too late to join in the war! Just check in at the original post right here.

So... how's it going so far?

“Does he seem healthy?” Deaton folds his hands together.

“Physically.” It’s a careful step towards breaking confidence. Jackson knows that he can’t finish this conversation without telling Deaton what he already knows. But he doesn’t have to say it all at once, not until he knows if it’s safe. “I don’t think Deucalion treats him well.”

“You do realize that Deucalion employs a healer,” Deaton says quietly, and it isn’t a question.

“So? If he’s not giving Stiles the care that—”

“I can’t interfere, Jackson, not in another alpha’s business.” The words are firm and blunt. “If it were Derek’s omega, or another Hale omega, or if it were something associated with your father’s business, then it might—”

“My father.” It almost hurts when the thought strikes Jackson; he winces away from it, not wanting to go there, but he can’t help it. The one man he does know who could help. The one who owes him something. The one who disowned him and threw him out for not being the alpha he was supposed to be, or being an omega he could use. His mouth twists up, sour. “If my father asked you to examine him, you would.”

Everything you write is worth something, even if it doesn't work for the current project. Just set words aside and move on to something new if it's not working, but the words still count!
