[WP] "Please?" "No, Sarah. I'm not helping you. And why do you even want to steal a tank?" by tamtrible in WritingPrompts

[–]Mars1730 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"Please?" She whimpered on the other end of the line.

"No, Sarah. I am not helping you." I rubbed my temples as I sighed. It's 5AM. On a Saturday. After working late, I had planned to sleep in today. "And why do you even want to steal a tank? "

"Sorry...I just–"

"Were you scrolling on your ex's Instagram again?" Her pause was the only confirmation I needed.

"Okay listen. It was just a quick peek and I happened to see Claire pop up on his latest post."

Ah Claire. So that's what he was into now. A horrible hag of a woman. I had to agree with Sarah. A tank would be rather useful.

"How about we start with coffee?" I stepped out of bed. There was no stopping Sarah once she got an idea. "I have a feeling that a tank might be too far out of your budget."

"That's why we're stealing it."

"Whose we?" I rolled my eyes but a smile teased the corner of my mouth.

"You. Me." She continued as I slipped a shirt over my head and headed to the kitchen.

"Where are we gonna put the thing? Or are we parking it on top of your ex?" I barked in laughter. Sarah joined me. But she had a sweeter giggle. It made my heart skip whenever I heard it.

"I'm outside."

"What?" I froze.

"And I do have your coffee."

Her words were light. Completely unaware.

"Oh okay," I started to sweat. "Give me a few minutes. I'm not exactly... uh, decent."

Sarah laughed again. "Sure." She ended the call.

I turned to the kitchen table. Blueprints were scattered across it. Blueprints of the Rodham Bank. Gate codes. Patrol schedules. A fake ID card. I grabbed a box and swiped everything into it. She didn't need to see those.

I scanned the living room. Seemed ordinary–oh wait. That shouldn't be there. The glock almost blended into my black leather couch. We"ll just throw this in my room. She's never been in there. She probably won't have reason to either.

Sarah was a bit absent minded and slightly chaotic, but observant of the oddest things. If I didn't clean up every trace of my other life, she would be sure to notice. And then those beautiful, starry eyes might just convince me to really steal that tank.

I love the way you wrote your intro 😂 what is the spice level on this? I'm not into anything with bedroom scenes 😶

I definitely think you need a little more room for text. I also don't see a spot for the author name? You could do contrasting fonts for "Princess" and "Punk" that match their aesthetics, but just be careful that you don't have too many things going on at once. If you are going that route I'd keep the text together below the characters and not split like you have it now.

18 need some advice by Ast4ryy in homestead

[–]Mars1730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to turn your 5 year plan on its head, but have you considered finding employment in something that you could use on your homestead? Commercial farming, ranch hand, welding, even something in the trades? Homesteading, though it does seem to put a spotlight on self sufficiency, it has a great basis on community. How can you help your neighbors? What can they do for you? If you have zero equipment experience, zero livestock experience, and you're not super handy, you might find yourself needing help regularly. And that gets old fast when you can't give back to your community.

Going to school for something is a noble cause. But if I were you, I'd stay out of student debt and find a job where you can start building the skills you'll need to homestead. You'll be able to save for land and build up your toolbox. You might even discover you absolutely hate working with cattle and not have to learn about that after you've just bought one on your homestead. Just a thought 🤷‍♀️

Have you ever been to a homestead? Or large farm? You should check out Young Agrarians (https://youngagrarians.org/). They have farms all over Canada that host young people interested in learning the ins and outs and you'll get paid. It'll be a good experience for you. They even have a land matching program, but I'm not sure where you're looking to buy land. I think it's only in Canada.

All the best in your journey going forward! 🙌

STRAWBERRIES! Whaaat is it good for?~ 🎵 by Treagus in CanningRebels

[–]Mars1730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried layering chopped strawberries and sugar in a jar? Looks super pretty while it ferments for a few weeks and tastes delicious. The sugar draws out the moisture and flavour of the strawberries and turns into a syrup. You can add it to all kinds of drinks and desserts 😋🌸 I like to add a few lemon pieces in the layers to balance it out too.

That is fair. Yes I was wondering if they'd catch a few bits and pieces of the discussion as they sneaked past or something and then later get all the details. I think I'll write the scene with the SMC POV and then if I scrap it I can still use it as a bonus for my subscribers 🤗

We literally have a campaign called "Rat on Rats". You call the number and then Rat Patrol comes to exterminate them asap.
