If the Meaning Is Conveyed, a Word Has Served Its Purpose

Summary:

A small glimpse of Charlie’s work life to make you smile.

Notes:

In late September of 2022, I began to beta for one of Roo’s first fics. I’ve linked it above. More than two hundred Works later, Roo is still going strong. “Not a writer.” Pfffffff.

Happy to be here, celebrating them with all of you!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Charlie’s chin was pressing too hard into the meat of his right palm. His left index finger unconsciously bent and straightened, over and over. Words scrolled up with each pass, blue eyes flicking side to side with an eager passion.

Reaching the end, he sagged back and felt the ache in hands and chest. This was a good job but the first reading was always the best bit. He sat with the shape of it, where the characters landed.

Breathing deep, he moused back to the top and began the hard part. In the first paragraph, he added four commas.

Notes:

Thank you to Chescr and Coach and L(Numbers) for getting us here! 😏❤️
