You can buy my book of poetry "Ain't it Grand" here.

I've gotten loads better since then. The new pet project (seeks traditional publisher, likes supportive comments and royalty checks) is called "The Very Secret Diary of the Bad Advice Society."

Devious Journal Entry

Mon Nov 2, 2009, 12:54 AM
I didn't ask for this. I didn't even WANT this. But here it is, and it's partly my doing after all, and I have to do something about it, even if doing something actually involves doing absolutely nothing, which is far more terrifying sometimes.

NaNoWriMo is a no-go this year. With everything else, I don't even have time to think about it. Not to mention the complete lack of a brilliant-feeling idea that could eventually evolve into a plot, characters, or 50k pseudo-philosophical ramble. I can't even write bad poetry these days.

I think it is my curse to do to other people the wrongs that have been done to me in the past, and the worst part is I never notice til it's too late.

Part of me would love to blame this year's procrastination and failure to be anything resembling a good student on my... let's call it "sociability"... and another part of me says that's rubbish, I'm an academic failure in any case. Although I still have 15 days to avert actual, literal, GPA-horrifying failure.

I'd much rather sit in my room and brood.

Or not, because worrying is giving me a stomachache (quite apart from the disgusting midnight snack I had, which isn't helping) and while I dread tomorrow, today isn't so fantastic either.

Can I just tune out for a while? Please?

I tried that today. Tried hiding in my room (everyone interrupted) and all I did was... worry. And since that failed, I have no idea how to fix it. Maybe God could. But He doesn't owe me anything, I've welched on all I owe him, and I'm probably going to hell anyway. A fine kettle of fish for a theology major.

I think my life ended when I decided to become a theology major. Oh, hindsight, thou art a heartless bitch. Of course, English is completely useless and Philosophy isn't my strong suit and History is full of people like that one guy I won't name but really dislike, and what else can you do at a liberal arts college besides business and God help me if I ever have to take accounting classes.

*headdesk*
-ouch-
repeat.


I just want to go home. Only not.

Yay, thanks :) You should try NaNo, we can have word wars! I finally found a cohesive form to put my novel in, so I may actually have a shot this year...

okay, i wrote something. i'm not very happy with it, but that's the thing, it's just a mock-up/draft/whatever you prefer. i realized i was supposed to start and you were supposed to finish. but i kinda started and finished. maybe you can just write something else, then we get together and combine ideas within each and get rid of the ones we don't like, then write something else. either way, let me know what you think.

I have read it, and in some ways I kinda like it. It is really... dark. I will work on something over the next couple days, but that will require getting all my college commitments organized and taken care of first. Such organization will require... effort. lol. But we still have a few weeks til the deadline. I think...

Thank you LeighAnna, thank you for the :+fav: on What Makes a Good End and the super sweet comment! I’m delighted to know how and why you enjoyed it :D

Thank you so much for the :+fav: on Jesus Action Figure.:)

Nice gallery! Thoughtful poems in clear language. Some are character driven, which makes me think you might be interested in the contest I'm cohosting.
