I keep doing mass edits and rewrites of my story for Creative Writing. It's due Monday AAAAAAAAUGH
You guys don't even know. It's not like my other stuff as I actually have to pay REALLY CLOSE ATTENTION to what I am writing. And I'm very character driven. I love my characters. You all know this. Many of you love my characters as well. I try really hard to incorporate setting the best I can but my brain is all "THESE BACKGROUND OBJECTS ARE BORING". So blah. And I keep forgetting the Philadelphia part half the time. Even though this really is the perfect city for great good VS evil battles. More movies should be filmed here, I think. I could see the PECO building exploding. Anyway YEAH I keep forgetting that tidbit. Siiiigh. I keep reworking everything because I like an idea one minute then turn around and NOT like it the next. I like these characters, though, and would love to use them. I even through in my titular Innuendo King that I must include in most everything I do. Who doesn't love innuendo? Anyway, so yes. This process is incredibly tiring.
And I keep stopping every two paragraphs to edit the crap out of it
I should just FINISH it and then go back and edit. That's really what I should do. But I'm so OCD about it and edit as I go along it's just kfdjgkfdjgfdkgjfklgjfdlkgjdfgfdgkjdfl BLAUGH
I'm really sorry to my Beta readers for putting up with all this crap. I really am. I'm so obsessive about what I write. But you lot already know this. I'd like to think half of you friended me for the substance of my writing and not just the occasional gay erotica piece. I'D REALLY LIKE TO THINK THAT. Oi.
I'm feeling better after I ranted to my stepdad this morning. XD It's just highly frustrating because normally I'm very chill. I don't care what people say/do, it's how that bothers me. And I did not AT ALL appreciate how condescending and attitude-y she's being about everything. Namely my cat and the electricity. Where I come from, if you don't pay for something, if you don't own it, you don't get a say in how its handled. I'm paying all of the electricity on my own. So if I want to leave a fan on in my room to circulate air, then I'm going to do that, damn it. Same thing with her getting on my case for having my stuff out. If she politely were to say "Hey, I'd like to use this corner for XYZ, could you please relocate some of you things?" I'd be more than agreeable. It's the attitude that annoys me. Like I tell people all the time, I don't care what you say as much as how you say it. If you're honest, and to the point, then I'll listen. If you're pleasant (not sugar-coaty, just pleasant), I'll listen. If you cop a fucking attitude with me or get all haughty or pissy or condescending, I'm going to disregard you, or if it really ticks me off, I'll either get back at you somehow or tell you where you can shove it. I do not put up with attitude at all.
Class was boring-ish but then again I'm a rather anxious person who does not like to sit idly for too long. Crit was relatively entertaining. Have to give 'em some credit. Lord, I'm such a bitch sometimes. I'm sorry, world.
I have a killer headache right now. And I can't take my meds until I eat something. And my food is in the process of cooking. Bah. D:
It's a weird headache too, all up in my skull. EEEEEURGH
Someone tell me some nice things that happened to them, recently. I would like to smile today.
