My favorite trope is Guy Gets Absolutely Wrecked By A Girl And Immediately Decides She’s The Love Of His Life

Rules: Post an out of context spoiler or Big Climactic Line from your WIP and tag whoever you want. Then, enjoy as people wildly guess what’s going on.
This is from my NaNo project from this past month.
The knife clattered to the floor.
Have fun trying to figure out what’s happening here. I’d love to hear some theories, if anyone has anything xD

hey kids
you know why I like redemption narratives? because a redemption narrative says: no matter how broken or wrong or bad or stupid or ridiculous or harmful or sad or terrible, you can atone.
there is still a road back. it might be rocky and steep, complicated and messy. walking it may take all your life. you may lose your foothold, slip and fall back into the abyss, but the wall is still there. the ascent is still there. hard is not the same as impossible.
you are never too far gone. you are never beyond saving.

redemption arcs > black-and-white thinking
Redemption does not mean: no matter how wrong or bad or harmful or terrible you are, if you suffer enough then everybody will/should forgive you and love you and accept you.
Redemption means: no matter how wrong or bad or harmful or terrible you are, you can stop being that. you can be better.
(and yes, the process of making yourself be better will be arduous and painful, but the pain is not the point; the pain is not punishment; the pain is not there to make you pitiable and therefore forgivable. the pain is incidental. any pity anyone feels for you is also incidental. the point is to stop being terrible.)
nano ‘20 update
I think I said I wasn’t going to attempt NaNo this year, but I changed my mind last-minute. And I’ve gotten so much farther than I expected, honestly. I figured I might hit 10k, maybe 15k, by the end of the month.
But last night, on the 18th, I made it to 20k.
My project for the month is a newer WIP of mine. Not sure if I’ve mentioned it here on tumblr yet. Working title is “Lethal Love”. Obviously, it’s an enemies-to-lovers kind of thing. It’s a disaster so far, but I’m finally starting to figure everything out. And it only took 20k words to do it.
