Surprise! A brand new Thomas Shelby One Shot is up for you all!??
          	
          	This was a very spontaneous update, a decision to pull from my drafts a piece I've recently written (after having not written a one shot for this collection in a year) but after having a bit of a low morning mentally, I decided I wanted to share it with you today!??
          	
          	I had a little bit of an issue getting it to post correctly but it seems to have worked now! I hope that you all enjoy this new piece and thank you for continuing to support me and my writing!??

if you're struggling this holiday weekend (fourth of july for those who celebrate) just know you're not alone. 
          
          even though fireworks are a long standing tradition and iconic representation of the Fourth of July, there are those of us out there that do not find joy in their displays. what brings happiness, awe and fun to most, brings overwhelming anxiety, fear and higher symptom levels to others. 
          
          if you feel like you're the only person out there who hates fireworks and struggles to get through the long nights around this holiday and the summer season itself, I promise you are not alone and I am right there with you.??

@dixondarlin You've inspired me at times to keep on writing when I didn't want to. Putting on First Aid Kit and typing away. :-)

@dixondarlin mannn I don't even HATE fireworks like that until people do them at night. I don't like loud noises (and I overthink a lot about wild animals and it makes me sad) but I enjoy the show itself. But now that I have a baby I'm dreading tonight because I know he'll be up all night. Nice to see people talking about the downside of it. Used to not mind it when I was younger but as I got older the loud sounds are just overwhelming and bring so much anxiety for the surrounding days. Gets done like 3 or 4 days in a row here

random question for peaky fans... 
          
          how do you imagine Tommy Shelby during the war?
          what kind of soldier and what kind of man do you see him as throughout?
          how do you see his progression and his decline taking place?
          how long do you think the person Tommy was when he went off to war lasted and when or how did he begin to change into the man he is when he makes it home? 
          
          I'm genuinely curious about your thoughts, opinions and perspectives on this. 
          We get to see the after effects and implications of the war on Tommy in season 1, along with a few flashbacks and references throughout, but we don't get to really witness who he was before and during his time in France. 
          I'm always so interested in this chunk of story that we don't have all the full details of and I'm curious to see what you all think!

@bridalshowers This is honestly exactly how I've imagined him during the war. But sometimes I find myself wondering about the Tommy who was just a boy. The Tommy who was so simply terrified of the world around him that was filled with bullets and bombs and death.  Like, can you just picture the moment when the child in him was snuffed out for survival?

A leader, but not necessarily by choice. I think the tunnellers depended on him. And I think when the war stretched and his mental health declined, he found himself befriending death. But death was also his enemy. He's just such an interesting man to me.

am I already getting inspiration and writing down ideas for a new short story when I haven't even shared Florence | A Thomas Shelby Short Story yet? Yes, yes I am. Am I ashamed? No, no I am not.??

          Thank you for reading my stories, for embracing them the way that you have and for always supporting my voice and who I am as a writer. Thank you for just taking the time to read this little collection of stories and the way you all have made it what it is today! I am so proud of this book and everything I have put into these pieces! Waking up to see this makes my heart so happy and very thankful this morning!??

So many congratulations are due. You’ve put an incredible amount of work and craft into these stories—these vignettes of emotion with their clashing tones of light and dark—tales that would not exist otherwise. You made that happen. :-)
