hello all

[a_white_rain]

I'm off one of my meds (I'm getting it refilled tomorrow) and wow I had no idea how many of my PTDS symptoms it was helping. I can't even be around people much without jumping in my own skin.

I'm pondering doing a tvd-bigbang, I'm just not sure what I want to do. There's a lot of fic I want to write, but I'm not sure which ones can sustain for a very long

I hope you'll be okay until you get your meds back.

I wish I could write short fics! The shortest one I ever wrote was about 1k. Now I'm writing one about baby Sakura that was supposed to be around 1k, and it's now a little over 2k and just getting to the end.

IDK why I'm so wordy.

I wish I could write more sometimes! Actually, I'm usually okay with what comes out. I just wish I could do like a storyplot better instead of bits and pecies like i susually do

I actually got one with a plot but it's just sooo long and I always wonder if I'm boring people. Then I remember that I'm not really writing for other people so I'm like whatever. I've gotten reviews that tell me my writing is "very technical" and I don't know if that's a good thing or not. I mean, I was trained to be as clear and technical as possible, but I have a scientific degree. Not exactly a field that values "creativity" in the same way as the humanities do.

But I've gotten people to read 100k words so I supposed that's its own compliment right there.

Being clear and technical is one of the most important parts imo. I think, as you write more, the creativity that's valued in the humanities will come through more. Know the rules before you break them and bend them and all.
