ninety6tearsI was feeling generally shitty and bleh when I woke up today, like I couldn't decide if I needed a big hug or a "STOP MOPING" slap in the face. I need to go for a walk or something.
We talked (sort of) about my work in senior writing today. Every time I remember how extremely nervous I was for my first creative writing workshop freshman year, I'm kind of astonished at how much better I've gotten at the whole thing, especially considering that workshop in that first-year class just consisted of you sitting there taking notes and trying to say absolutely nothing while people talked about your stuff. Though it might somehow be a lot more comfortable when I'm actually allowed to talk. Even holding workshops for this current class is almost a joke because they're just very rough drafts and it's more just casually grilling people on where they're going with what without any real pressure. But since I tend to be awkward regardless of whether I'm being critiqued or complimented, it's still kind of ehhhhh for me. After I was explaining one thing, the prof just says, "You're so intimate with your characters. It's almost like they control you." My response to this was like *shifts uncomfortably* "Yeah, well, I'm their bitch," which made everyone laugh. God I'm awkward sometimes.
Sara entertains me on IM by finding the most hilarious plot summaries on adultfanfiction.net. Like ones that end with: Formerly "My immortal" I changed the title because there was two other stories with the same title. LMAO. Yeah. Um. I'm surprised there were only two.
