Sorry for late post, working on this silly Faulkner analysis. How are you?

Mmm. Don't apologize. I'm not too bad, thanks. You?

Lit wasn't working or something for a minute there. And I'm okay! Just really busy. =/ I keep trying to get ahead for free time, but then I use that free time to do nothing... Urgh. Have you been super busy, too?

I have. But I did manage to email you a bit of the water idea. Seems like chores never end and I got a good, solid look at just how much over time I really do work lol. I got my W2s in the mail and was like -.- How do I work that much and see so little of it lol

Aw, yay, I haven't been able to check my YIM email and I'm going to replace it soon anyway to solve that stupid address deletion issue. But you'll be the first to know what I change it to.

And blah, that sucks. I know how hard you work, I really hope it's satisfying for you. Someday I'll build you a writing office on a beach that can't get blown away by a hurricane.

Awwww! Could you stay there, too?

And it's no worries. I hate those email issues. I've had one with my student loans forever. I keep making them change it and for some retarded reason, they never save it or something. I can't access anything online and I've been trying to fix that for months. -.-

Of course I would! I'd have a desk right across the room, and we'd throw paper airplane idea notes back and forth. And play with dogs on the beach!

That would really stress me out. Anything to do with my FAFSA or taxes or whatever, and I just get tense. Even though there's nothing wrong with my stuff. It's like driving next to a cop.

Mmm. I've just had to get used to the idea that I will never be able to pay them off...unless I win the lotto or pretty girl starts making more money. I have the loans of a doctor but I definitely do not make a doctor's salary. So, I just give what I can. I hate them, though. And I totally understand your anxiety towards them.


.....My paper airplane would never make it to your desk lol. I might through a wadded up piece of paper, though

Don't worry, someday she'll take some Pulitzer-winning picture and you'll write the best book ever written. But I do know what you mean. Those things just hang around like cobwebs. You'll get there.

Maybe we'll have learned how to make paper planes. You never know! I do want to learn more paper-folding dynamics, I think that would be neat.

 

[thestruggle]

And suddenly I really, really want to write about pirates. Wow. I don't even like pirates.

Lol I'm probably the least talented in artsy crafty stuff ever. I still think my paper plane would tank

Pirates could be fun. Just depends on how you spun it. I mean....if you really think about it....the last Fire Fly idea we tossed around wasn't *too* far off the mark of being space pirates.

True, but I've sort of come to the understanding that playing in universes someone else created is not my thing. I did find cool fish ships though!

It's not really mine, either. I'm usually game to try, if I like the people involved, but it's not my first choice.


And that picture is sweet!! Could totally write there....

Found this, too. Really I just found a few great blogs and I'll post stuff here for a minute, because there's just too much for me to bookmark.

[IvoryTigress]

I like both of those, too

This actually dovetails nicely with an idea I've been trying to get a handle on.

What is it! Or is it not lining up yet?

That's pretty much every idea I've had in my head for the last month. I'm itching to write and I've been hammering away at this party lights piece that's actually light-hearted/romantic. But then I just lost the thread of it the other day and now I'm back to deeper stuff.

Out of necessity, rereading McCarthy. A realistic Western might be interesting; examine The Judge. He's honestly the only fictional character I've never wanted to dissect.

 

[thestruggle]

Supposed to be writing an essay on Engels but mostly I'm just grumping about how I haven't been writing. I keep hoping the spring will shake me out of this funk.

I wanna do some kind of piracy. Not space piracy but dystopian piracy. I knew that this would happen if I watched Black Sails. Goddammit.

Pounce tackles to the floor!

Miss you. Sorry about the delay on this, lot of things happening lately. I read the water piece, by the way, and I loved it. You hit the notes perfectly, especially the woman.
