Hmmm. Can’t figure out the complimentary internet so no fun times tonight.
I feel weird and a little guilty being here while knowing that even if I’m accepted I almost certainly won’t choose to attend… oh well. Just gonna enjoy the trip and cool school!
In other news, my grad student host totally looks like a young, balding, normal-sized Stephen Merchant. He is like a...

Dallas Airport is pretty neat inside. At least compared to what I’m used to.
About to board a nice 4 hr flight to my last interview. Not sure what the time and internet situations will be there, so not sure if I’ll be around for the next few days. I might disappear til Sunday or I might reappear tonight to make some (badly needed) queues, I dunno.
Anyway, hope you guys have a good...

Alright, I sent Asks or Submits to everyone who offered their words of support and advice, but you know how Tumblr is—it may not have gotten to some people. So in a slightly more reliable form, I just want to say thanks to everyone who responded to my post yesterday.
I wrote it because I thought that after months of struggling with this thing, finally just acknowledging and examining it...

Anonymous asked: I wanted to tell you I love what you do. I know what it is to get stuck, to hate everything about writing and at the same time still want and need to do it. But it's worth it in the end, isn't it? To put down, put away the monster trying to eat their way out of you through your words, and maybe help someone else, or make someone smile, or make someone think with the end result. Writing...

Anonymous asked: The best advice someone told me when it came to writing is not to force it, your writing won't be as good if you are not into it. It's also quite normal to think your work is lacking compared to others, because that's just human nature. Even brilliant painters and inventors looked around and felt that. Everyone who has such a hobby thinks that, so you shouldn't stress...

OH WHOOPS. That came across as me harping on your tagging methods! I’m sorry!
It was more a crack at myself, because I rely heavily on the major tags to get any artwork out there because I don’t have a ton of followers, and if I ever hit my limit, I’d have to start doing the same. And if I have to start tagging things with numbers as a follow up, I’d be kind of screwed, because...

Aw man, really? That is a thing I didn’t know. But now I don’t even know WHAT to do with my tags, I mean, what if they change it back or to some other number and the tagged things over X amount get knocked back out?
DAMN IT TUMBLR
I actually had this system setup to go where when I hit my limit, I’d go back to my oldest posts and strip them of the relevant...

conquerorwurm replied to your post: ever considered of creating a separate blog for your art?
One thing is that you can only fit 200 posts in a tag, so if you’re tagging your art, you may have to make a second tag someday. Not terribly inconvenient, but a thing to consider when tagging anything
Oh, really?
o.o THANK YOU, WURM. I might actually make an art blog,...
Thank you guys.
My head hurts a lot right now so I can’t stay, but I hope to properly respond to you all tomorrow.

This isn’t a call for attention or help, I just thought it might feel good to work this feeling out through words and actually acknowledge what keeps getting me down. (No surprise, it’s writing.)
Feel free to pass this by, since it actually came out way more pathetic than I’d intended.
Writing feels different from day to day.
Sometimes it feels good and words actually do come...

Wheatley was alone for a long time while he waited for Chell, wasn’t he? So, I wrote a fic about it. It’s basically the plot of the comic I’m doing, but I had to write it out.

Srs Wheatley discussions herein
(Not really, just jabbering at Lacey about The Punishment and forgiveness and writer’s laments and stuff)
I gotta say, I’ll probably always feel guilty at how easily swayed Chell was by Wheatley’s blubbering towards the beginning of The Punishment. I mean, she maintained a bit of a cold front against him for a while, but I doubt it was really...

I sat on this without answering for a couple of days because I was trying to figure out how to respond. I know the answer, but I’ve regretted saying too much in offhand discussions before so I want to tread lightly with it.

Portal minific prompts?
So I really enjoyed reading Lacey’s one-word-prompt minifics, and now they’ve inspired me to give it a shot too. I think it’d be refreshing and a good writing exercise to write something short. I’ll use this as a warmup each night before I get to writing more of the next chapter of The Punishment, since starting seems to be the hardest part for me and boy does that thing...
