The Irreconcilable Self of a Warcraft Hero

My World of Warcraft character:

  • the most vaunted, admired, triumphant hero in all the realms who has saved multiple worlds many times over!

Also my World of Warcraft character:

  • falls off a dock because Boralus is confusing, gets stuck behind a plank & can’t get out

Three Trilogies by 40

Writing fiction is… an incredibly free-form activity. You have to make up your own goals or borrow deadlines from markets that may or may not eventually buy your fiction so much of the time.

One of the goals I set for myself: write three trilogies before turning 40. Continue reading “Three Trilogies by 40”

Decorator Crabs

Me, suddenly: “How have I not written anything about decorator crabs???”

Cliffs

Jumping off of cliffs is so rarely the correct path… and so frequently what I choose to do.

I mean this specifically about World of Warcraft. But it very possibly speaks to the nature of my personality on a deeper level as well.

Two Years On…

1. It’s really healing to just turn on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend song videos and let them play while I’m organizing things on my computer.

2. It is just bizarrely unbelievable how good Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was.

3. I miss it so much.

Me: “You are very bouncy…”

Eight-year-old: “Because I want to get exercise in order to be fit in case of any nerf wars!”

Accepting Help

A friend offered to do something to help make my life easier for the next chunk of time… and I managed to say yes to it!

I am not very good at seeking or accepting help from others, so this is kind of a big deal, and I’m feeling really grateful right now.

Willpower

The hardest part about cutting off family members who only hurt you is that it’s a constant act of restraint — you could always fold & send an email or call.

It would just end up hurting and making it worse… but it’s an act of willpower to remember & act on that knowledge.

Anniston and Witherspoon

Part of me wants to write a thread about how I’ve gotten completely sucked into The Morning Show and all my thoughts about it…

But what those thoughts really amount to is that watching Anniston & Witherspoon portray these complex women is really personally meaningful for me… Continue reading “Anniston and Witherspoon”
