in a way, I do like monday

Apr 22, 2013 05:43

I like the start of things. Monday, being the start of the week for me, means a fresh start at tackling all life's niggling little bits. However, it's dead easy for me to put things off til a monday with the excuse that it's easier/better to start things on a beginning day ( Read more... )

I like your gumption to get new fic out, not your being sick all week. :-(

I was doing something similar by posting a Sci Fi game story to an original doc com m. Good luck with your new audience. I'll run over and take a look soon.

As to our story, I did put in a few words last week. Look for some edits in the brainstorming file written in red text. ;-)

We're co-writing an original character thing inspired by Kane's 'Let Me Go'.

Oh my. I'm VERY interested to hear that!

As for the being sick, I totally feel you. As a kid, my dad always said, "If you aren't throwing up or running a fever over 100, you're well enough to go to school." And I still find it hard to get past that mindset. So then you get in your head like, "Well, I wasn't sick enough to meet that criteria so I went to work and if I can go to work, I should be able to do everything else," and it's hard to knock yourself out of that cycle of thinking. So then you feel bad for not doing enough as if there is a pre-set amount of what is 'enough'.

Yay about the new computer though! Hope this week knocks those grudgy yuckies out of you, babe!

My mom said the same thing about being sick. It really is a hard mindset to break out of. I try to talk myself thru it, or whatever, but it all sounds like lame excuses.

Yes, original writing! With original characters and everything. And it's het fic! I have no idea what I'm doing. lol

My mom said the same thing about being sick.

My mom did the whole reverse psych thing on us. "Only you know how bad you feel, so only you know if you are sick enough to stay home from school," in this very passive-aggressive tone. But then in the back of our minds, it was still like, 'yes but Dad will be home from work eventually and I'll have to explain to him why I stayed home from school." So essentially even though it seemed like Mom put the choice in our hands, we still followed Dad's rule, even if he was at work at the time. Still, to this day, my mom insists that she never made us go to school if we didn't feel well, that she always left it up to us, and I can't seem to explain to her how much Dad was in the room with us even when he wasn't.

And it's het fic! I have no idea what I'm doing. lol

That's so AWESOME. I am even more excited now. Can't wait! BTW, I just finished my first femslash fic not to long ago (though I admit to keeping it PG).
