I don't know if I've done this in the past. Probably not. It's about listing the first lines of 20 stories you've written. Knowing me, I have about 20 versions of M+I from the past. I've been feeling kind of down lately, due to things that are out of my control. What am I saying, everything's out of my control ( Read more... )

I have crawled my way out of the pit known as sewing hell to tell you that I am filled with a story idea! Don't ask me about upholstery foam or horsehair trim right now. Don't. I might go a little Coen Brothers protagonist on you ( Read more... )

Today, to bide the time while I babysat people on computers and made sure they didn't punch each other or the computers, I brought my recent writing notebook with me. It has taken me an exceedingly long amount of time to fill this one, as a mixture of malaise, political dread, and long work days have kept me from writing as much as I used to. I ( Read more... )

This is a thing I've seen around Tumblr, and I figured what better way to make up an excuse to talk about the things I'm writing. Except I have to do a 10 Stories Tag instead of 20 due to the fact that one particular story has been rather greedy throughout my life. In fact, it may have swallowed another story that I was writing. I don't even have ( Read more... )

I haven't produced much content here lately, but I will have usual end of the year stuff as well as a review hopefully before January 1st. I'm reading a book I really hate, one I like due to the writing style, and one I love all at the same time, which as you can probably guess, is kind of weird. (Those books are Hot Water Music by Charles Bukowski ( Read more... )

My holy grail is The Arcades ProjectCollecting is an art form. I collect books, film, music, quotes, screen captures . . . it doesn't matter what it is. The weirder, the better. On one hand, this could be a note on my consumerist nature, raised in America where money is king. But I think collecting objects is a very base human drive. We derive ( Read more... )

And lists.

This was a list of questions that I posted on Tumblr for anyone to ask, but seeing as the dream boy never asks, I think I'll have to dance with Cassie on this one. As I've said before, morale has been exceptionally low for me lately. This morning, I woke up and didn't want to do anything anymore. But I forced myself. I forced myself to ( Read more... )

I don't know what happened, but I was at a bad place last night and I started reading some of my older writing, and . . . I felt better about it. I think sometimes I'm just far too harsh on myself. It took me a while to realize that I'm a complete workaholic at my job and I still think I don't do enough. I can never extend myself enough. Part of ( Read more... )

Apologies if I haven't been on lately or providing content. There have been frightening things going on at work and anxiety has been eating away at me. The only comfort I can find now is that there are people who are looking out for me. Maybe someday I'll write about work but not now. Also, I've been more depressed than usual due to the gloomy ( Read more... )
