I'm crossing my fingers for you!!!!! 😊

Thanks guys! I am trying to keep my spirits up (and starting to apply to masters programs).

Where else are you waiting to hear from?

UT-Austin, UC-Denver, Vanderbilt, and UA-Birmingham. Hopefully I will get some interviews soon.

I was going to write this evening. Then I came home and sat down....

[silverspoken]

These days I feel utterly alone and overwhelmed by the amount of work today.

It would be nice if either of my best friends lived in Greenville. I could use a hug.

I don't even try to keep my apartment "clean" because I know no one's going to visit me.

I don't hardly eat because I don't have the time.

Just not doing that well these days.

But whatever, I guess.

Nanowrimo

So I decided today that I will no longer be participating in this year's Nanowrimo.

To put it bluntly: I had my spirit broken in my workshop class, and while I know that everyone may not like my writing, the way my "peers" presented their "critiques" was in the harshest manner possible. Not once this semester had they said anything so derogatory to another person's writing and it took everything in me not to leave the room, crying. A critique is something that is supposed to help a writer, not bestow feelings of despair and an unwillingness to ever pick up a pen again.

I've cried the rest of the day.

I'm not looking for "I'm sure you're a fantastic writer", "don't worry, keep writing", or anything else that may infer I want attention.

I just needed to express my feelings of despair. Maybe one day soon I'll pick up my pen and write a story.

But for now, the only story I'm working on is fixing the pieces of my broken spirit.

Can't believe I'm admitting to this, but:

When I was a kid, I used to think that "writer's block" meant that you had a cramp in your hand from writing so much.

I wish that's what it meant.

And I have a feeling it’s Scarecrow-based, right? Excited for you! (And for me when I can see it haha)

Yes it is! It also features Two-Face and Joker. And thank you! I'm excited for people to read it! :)

I was messaged this the other day:

Answer this with 10 random facts about yourself and pass it to your ten favorite followers :)

  I have a novel written that I completed during NanoWrimo last year and I plan on editing/rewriting to get it published.

I can cluck like a chicken and I'm quite proud of that.

I have lived in 5 states, and at least and about 19 different homes/apts (I'm 26).

As much as I love reading/writing/books, music is my everything

I still color in coloring books.

I've been a vegetarian for four months now and feel a thousand times better about myself.

I've considered dropping everything in my life and moving either to NYC or Ireland/London.

I miss marching band more than anything.

I'm leaning towards becoming part of the Buddhist religion

If I had more confidence, I would have tried my hand at acting.
