I need the inspiration to post regularly on my teaching blog, too. Maybe we should band together to beat the writing demons down.

The status is NOT quo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I didn't last the whole class--headache caused irritability. But it was really bothering me that I developed such dramatic and stupid drawing anxiety attacks. So hopefully this will ease things. It's fucking expensive, though. I'm not sure I can make regular thing of paying $20 to drive to hipper than hip WeHo to draw a chick in a wig.
eta: and it was certainly nothing worth sharing--I need to work my way back up to that, if ever
Did anyone watch last week's Grey's Anatomy? Did you like it? I found it resoundingly boring, and it's not because of the conceit--although it's way overused, it has been responsible for some of my favourite episodes of other shows (two in Supernatural alone). It just felt really empty of emotional content the way they did it.

Yeah, I didn't see much point to it, ita--I didn't feel like we learned new things about the characters, nor did it have any impact on their futures, afaik, so it bored me mostly.

I did watch it and I did not like it. It seemed kind of half-hearted, like they just threw out a few ideas for changes and then didn't really run with them. Meh.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Also did not like GA. The alternate universe was dumb and not well written
Eta. Sorry--I thought that was vague enough, but now whitefonted

I thought it was all "Ah hah hah! See how wrong we could have gotten! Aren't you glad they could have been both whinier and even more boring!"
Lee--I think saying it's an alternate universe episode is a spoiler.

Huh. I just realized that I haven't written fic since mom was diagnosed in 2004. I hadn't really looked at it that way--there was always just something else to think about. Maybe I should try some Sherlock Fic or something.

I go to google calendar this morning to look at my day and holy fuck!
!!!!
The garish colors stopped me in my tracks. Literally. I had to drop everything and change the calendar colors because I cannot abide. It looks like a 5-year-old took a highlighter and fucked up the website.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Gray's Anatomy is still on? Huh.
I haven't written anything in so long, I can't even remember when. Don't know why I stopped. Haven't drawn anything in even longer. Not sure I still can.

Because books.
Come do drabbles in GWW, people who want to write again. It's just a hundred words. Anyone can do that, and sometimes just that little flex of the muscle helps.
