30 day writing challenge

from here 

Well from this I have discovered that the reason I don't do anything productive is because I am too critical of myself and too afraid of that criticism.

Day One: Describe a Setting

Setting descriptions have to be short, or else they will bore the readers. See if you can get the entire atmosphere of a real or imagined place packed in to only a few sentences.

Well this is really shite because I only really write about settings in terms of the story. I've never written a setting without knowing the characters and what they are going to do in it.

Ok here we go

Nope

No

I can't describe a place without characters. Fuck. 

Tom sat in the dark waiting for Sophie. 

Well this is turning into a cliche already

He picked at the peeling grey wallpaper of the room where he sat. The room was bare except for a cot, a sink and the wallpaper that Tom estimated was more than 10 years old. Mould grew in the corner where, presumably, the rain seeped through a small hole in the roof.  Tom wished it would rain there and then – he liked it when the weather reflected his mood. It made him feel like the universe was with him, empathetic in its own way. 

And then we'd move on to Tom.

I need to stop thinking 'fuck I haven't done this before I won't be good at this' and start thinking 'I will own this, I'm good at this, I can do this'.

...and the unfairness of it all welled up inside of her. It was his fault, all of it, and yet her hatred for him was the worst kind of love.

EDIT: oh gosh I'm so sorry I forgot to say this is like not meant for any of my followers or anything if it was I would have put gifs in and made an attempt to make it interesting! I'm so sorry if you bothered to read this but I sort of explained why it's here and not in a private place like my usual diary thing just read the next line and then get out of here ok? ok :)

Ok like even though I have a new place to diary I will put this here because I just wanted a happy thing ok?

I just had to socialise for... well, I've been out since 1pm and only just got home at 11:45pm so like nearly 11 hours?

First there was the charity shop - that wasn't as awesome as usual cause there was a new person who was very loud and abrasive and I felt a little shy.

Then there was like half an hour where I got to be by myself and then plunged straight into a meeting where the head of our unit was initially a bit frosty (a week ago I caught her going behind my back to do something and confronted her about it) but then I was so nice to her - I genuinely like the little bitch - by the end of the meeting two hours later she was actually genuinely happy to have seen me like yay success

Next there was the real happy part of my evening - YES I just described something social as happy because IT WAS - and that was because the main person in the dawat was being very unlike herself and very nice and not calling me fat or saggy boobed or making me feel inadequate. In fact, she seemed to have forgotten about being a bitch altogether to ANYONE today and everyone else is always very nice so it was just a fun evening!! Actually it was the best one with the five of us since queen bee got married and moved away. We actually wanted to stay over by the end but didn't because Ibro wasn't staying and I didn't want to ruin a good evening by getting sick of everyone. 

I'm not adequately putting into words how fun and nice and happy it was - like I actually made jokes and people laughed - and TK said she trusted me out of everyone to do this thing for her - well to dye her hair so she might have just been sucking up to me to do it but the fact is Hb and KB wanted to have a go so badly but she wasn't letting them even though they've never been proven to be bad at anything and it's not like she gives a crap about hurting any of our feelings so she genuinely thought I'd be good at something I've never done before. 

And there was banoffee pie. 

So there's that.

I need to eat some tuna before I go to sleep because I haven't had fish for a while (maybe a week?) and the bones in my hand have started hurting again. (EDIT because some of you goons have been reading this I feel the need to explain what tuna has to do with bones - VITAMIN DEEEE is in fish and I needs it) 

But I don't want to cause I've had 6 pieces of banoffee pie. 

Anyway it was a great day. Oh and people said that my apple pie that I'd made for pi day and was effectively stale was the best pie they'd ever had and bugged me on where to get the pastry from (like my pastry is better than the shop bought one I used but I'm too lazy)

Oh that reminds me DISHES so that decides it I'm having tuna - I can grill some on cheese and bread and while doing them. Ok done. 

:D ALhmd. What a great day.

Man have I had a weird week! Wondering if I should type it up or not. It's definitely not Tumblr worthy, but seeing as this place is pretty much my diary (from 2012 - whenever Tumblr becomes myspace) and I may one day regret not writing down my memories...

We'll see

Started replying to messages at 10am this morning, it is now 2pm. Whaaat. Just came back from a lunch break. Never letting messages pile up again.

[solitarylikeme]

To everyone I haven't replied to

I'm really sorry

I've had a bad week in terms of people, and last night just made it all 10x worse

Gona force myself to reply to all things tomorrow and not be such a recluse

I'm sorry, really sorry

So Tumblr's not letting me upload my Sherlock Voice Meme cause it's in .wav format, not .mp3?

To the anon and everyone else, thank you.

I can't believe you all responded so quickly, Tumblr is a really good place to be on right now but I just

I need to go be with my family, and hers. 

Thank you
