It’s a great feeling when someone submits something that’s so good it lowkey makes you want to give up. I don’t mean that actually but seeing how good someone is compared to your own perceived level is really inspiring to me in a weird way!!

Writing exercise: study the first two pages of your 10 favorite books. How do they start the story? What do we learn about the end of the story from them?

Seeing an unusual influx of young to middle aged men in slim fit navy corporate dress is giving me the sudden sobering realization I’m gonna have to weather the city during dreamforce/gdc/other big annoying tech conference that always sneaks up on me

Already feeling a sense of complacency from not having to go to classes for two weeks which means I should get to writing again just to keep the muscles toned but also. What if I come back from break having only written some fanfictions or whatever AUGH. Me, the philistine of the mfa program

The novelty of going home while the sun is still out… don’t get me wrong I loved my classes but the idea of having time to myself again. A luxury I will cherish forever

c) wait that part was real good
d) wait no that part sucks
e) I am a god of this place
f) the fuck is this shit, who do I think I am, why am I here
g) oh man I just figured it all out
h) mistakes were made
I) existential dread
