Well fuck me.

Despite all the work drama, I finished another story. It's 10.5k words and I think it can serve as the beginning of a possible novel. I was reading through it today and it's that same goddamn phenomenon: I write a first draft hating every. Single. Word. and feeling like it's complete shit and then, on my re-read and editing, I ( Read more... )

I have the weekend off. I finally got the people in the hospital to start taking measures we need to protect ourselves (though non-essential staff in the business office is still coming in because apparently "they need to be babysat 24/7 in order to do their jobs). I sat down with the other providers and we adjusted the schedule to give all of us a ( Read more... )

Until recently, I've never given a shit what comes from the White House or politics in general. Lately, however, I've been paying attention and...for the first time in my life, I think I've had some pretty bad anxiety regarding everything. Since Thursday, I'd been wound up, couldn't focus, was absolutely exhausted, and, quite frankly, wrote some of ( Read more... )

For the first time in eight months, I am watching a TV series. I started The Witcher and...it's decent. A bit cliched, a bit predictable but cinematically interesting and the characters aren't too insufferable. Certainly nothing mindblowingly original, but, hey, that's mainstream media for you.

But what's upset me? The fact that chaos is a central ( Read more... )

I have so much to post! I SUBMITTED A SHORT STORY (to a mystery contest and my story is NOT a mystery, but hey, it was fun to write and idgaf)! And have plans to write more short stories for other contests! And have started to develop a new literary world to play in! I developed the level of introspection to realize that I have a crush on the ( Read more... )

So I'm doing a re-listen of TMA from the beginning and have been marathoning the episodes pretty hard, which has had some interesting effects.

1. My notes at work have gotten a lot more unbearably pretentious because I hear Jon Sims' voice in my head when I write, so my Assessment and Plans have become quite sophisticatedly worded and I'm not even ( Read more... )

So, I had today off randomly and spent nearly all of it writing. I have two different "projects" at the moment: one is fanfic so I can keep up my prose-writing skills somewhat and the other was the audio drama I've been working on since June. I'm up to Episode 8 and...it's come a long way? I'm not always happy with it, but when I go back and read ( Read more... )

Holy shit, I'm so tired in the best possible way. I was on call Monday night and I essentially got about three hours of sleep and then yesterday drove about an hour to a LGBT meeting (holy SHIT, what a LEAP for me, I don't even RECOGNIZE myself anymore) and...actually met some amazingly cool people. And two of them seemed interested in helping me ( Read more... )

So, there has been SO MUCH that's happened since my last post. The move went well and I love my new home, being close to family, and even this small town. I really, really like my job. However, I've been on 24/7 call to the ED for the past 4 nights and tonight makes the 5th and I keep getting called in at 2:30, so I'm exhausted. I didn't leave work ( Read more... )

I just finished Money Heist, which is probably the most suspenseful TV series that I've ever seen. Also, really heart-rending. The writers did a fantastic job slowly building the characters into ones the audience cares about and made them complicated, multi-faceted people without drowning us in boring backstory or tedious exposition. Such fantastic ( Read more... )
