    I haven't written in what seems like so long. I really need to get back into good habits. It's just that writing on the computer just doesn't seem to be working for me rn. I might have to look like a pretentious snob and write by hand in public when I have the time


    Mageheart I've been having the opposite problem! I've spent so much time at my computer lately that I'm struggling to handwrite things during the school day, when I can't be at my keyboard typing out more of my stories. I really need to get back into handwriting things more.

    Wow! Half-way through #RevMo and look at all the wonderful reviews that have already been written! This raccoon is impressed.


    Remember when reviewing to

    1) Be kind! - No one wants to listen to a review that doesn't respect the piece or the author.

    2) Give interpretations - what do you think about plot/meaning?

    3) Give suggestions - how can the author improve their work beyond adding some spare commas and capital letters.

    4) Give praise - where specifically did the author succeed?

    Also if you've written a review you're particularly proud of, why not submit it to my Review Contest? You might win some points!

    And if you see or receive a great review around the site, why not give them a shout-out or let me know in a comment or PM! I love to read great reviews. :)

    If only I could tell my younger self that I'm willingly taking two college level math classes. I could have used that. I've never liked math or felt that I was super good at it. I still don't think I'm particularly talented; I'm just kind of smart, and I put in the work.

    Younger me probably could have benefitted from being told a lot of things I know now.


    Mea I feel like this is always true. But I also feel like my younger self wouldn't really understand if I tried to explain, or just wouldn't believe me.

    inktopus That makes sense. I was a stubborn kid, so I totally agree with you

    I think that I like all the Founding Fathers' wives more than the Founding Fathers. Dolley Madison? An icon.

    I have to do a project on the Founding Fathers, but I'm really wishing I could just do it on all of these cool ladies.


    Lauren2010 Do that thing where you talk about them as the husbands of these great iconic ladies, so it's about the founding fathers but you mostly just talk about the women xD

    inktopus Honestly, I wish I could. It's all about elitism, so it doesn't really work for this project because I have to talk about the people who drew up the Constitution and their backgrounds. I definitely want to for another project in the future though. Honestly, why can't there be a women's history class. Every other class is men's history

    I just want to sleep with someone. I get lonely. Pillows aren't cutting it


    Prokaryote Just get one of those clothing store mannequins, they're fantastic. My room is full of them.

    inktopus That is terrifying but I've actually wanted to have like a disembodied mannequin hand or head before.

    It's been a long time since I've just wanted (read: needed) to disappear. It's been such a long time that if I do, my absence will actually matter. I have too much stuff to do to read a bunch of books or play Harvest Moon for hours. Life is stupid. Can't I just have a break?


    Brendah Life sometime stinks! but we don't have an option we have to blow our noses every time it comes up. Just enjoy and it will be stupid no more

    I just saw a labor day ad with a pregnant woman. Still thinking about whether her presence was a joke about going into labor or not...

    i haven't cried yet. I want to.


    Arcticus I'm not aware of your current situation, but in general, when you feel like crying, it's good to let that feeling take over and cry.

    inktopus it just hasn't happened yet. it'll probably come soon

    sometimes, I'm just entirely unprepared to be a human being. Feelings? Never heard of them. Consequences? I thought they didn't apply to me.
    Can't I be a cat? It sounds way less emotionally exhausting.


    AlexOfLight I know right. I'd also not have to go to school.

    TheBlueCat Exact reason I'm a cat. Or try to be a cat but fail because I'm sadly still a human bean.

    people are horrible and mean, and the only people who need to feel bad about it are the people who are horrible and mean

Tons of cowering! Plus your name in the summer programme. A custom-designed banner. A cabin at Camp Half-Blood. Two shrines. I'll even throw in a Kymopoleia action figure.
