Why haven't they fired me? WHY?
Apr. 4th, 2012 10:58 pmI have a lot of emotional hangups related to my experiences in school.
( Cut for negativity, bad things about school, and LONG )
The Dangerous Ladies have told me I think my ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://s.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
queer_fest fic will need to be a Proper Damn Story. (My words, not ![[personal profile]](https://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
synecdochic’s). By which I mean, it will have to be about more than one thing.
I have no clue how to write one of those.
( Cut for OMG flailure )Why can't I write like I draw?
Dec. 29th, 2010 10:51 pmI have always liked writing. The first things I wrote were "Roses are red/Violets are blue" poems like the ones I'd seen in Bugs Bunny cartoons. I wrote stories about a rabbit named Alice, who was a being very different from me that I was afraid I was. I wrote tons of stories that I never finished, getting lost in my own plot by page twenty--always page 20--in the same way I got lost in my own school.

WTF have I done?!
Oct. 9th, 2010 08:21 am I have just done something incredibly silly. And it is 15 percent ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rydra_wong's fault.
Although I've never successfully written a novel, ever, and have only recently begun to successfully write fiction ("successful" being defined as "finished two stories I've started"), I've signed up for National Novel Writing Month. To do (a horrible draft of) the Toph-Azula thing. That as of yet has no plot. Or Big Bad. Or geography. (I fail geography forever). And my world-building sucks.
Damn you, NaNoWriMo, and your lure of: "Hey, it just has to be written! It doesn't have to be any good!"
Guess where I'm spending my October? AT THE LIBRARY!!!!!

I should probably not admit this in public:
