hello, magazine. hello, stressed girl.

[insanexflame]

I wrote 2ooo words yesterday. I've written a whole lot less today. I needed to write a whole lot more.

I'm stressed. my jaw is doing this thing where it clenches involuntarily and I can't force it to relax. that's not my favorite new development in the life of Rachel.

however, the point of this entry is this: I got a position on the editorial board for a London magazine! interact is a magazine concerned with promoting community among young people of all faiths, including agnostic/atheist. I'm only staying on board for this one issue since I skip out of London come june, but this is seriously keen!

so some things are working out and some things are dragging. a checklist, maybe?
