This was a triumph
Still alive. I dropped out of Nanowrimo to take care of myself because I felt like adding additional stress to my life would only be bad and I’ve pretty much proven I can write for the rest of the year, anyway.

But I get it, I do. The one that annoys me is Ward just because even though I love the actor and his fabulous puns on Twitter, I resent him for being a bland white guy who keeps taking up screentime that could be given to better, more interesting characters.

I also love Melinda! I just found out (found out by reading her wikipedia page) that Ming-na lives in my hood. So I am trying to mentally prepare myself not to fangirl out if i see her buying grocieres or something.
