Ellipses

...

What, exactly,  did past-me do to get this fucking karma?

Also, FUCK YOU, UPSTAIRS NEIGHBORS.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Avast Me Plotties!

 YAR!!

If you enjoy my writing, if you think I've got some good moments of levity and heft alike,  and especially if you have read my fractions of fiction blog, I think you'll enjoy the new project! 

A comrade and I have been working on an idea. The thought was figuring out away two roads readers into a role-playing scenario where they are not obligated to participate. And not only that, but allow them to contribute to the story and scenes in other ways! And not ONLY that, but allow my friend and I to show off our mad writing skills. AND ALSO- perhaps possibly maybe attempt to make a little pocket change off of our own artistic talent.

All of the details can be read about here on our Discord server! We would be ever so excited if you drop by!

2musingly sad PENSIVEwistful glance


I think I am more of a realist than I would have thought. 

I see a picture of beautiful landscape hundreds of miles away, and my brain goes: "That's beautiful. Its a shame you'll never get to see it in person. I mean just think about it; when would you be able to afford a trip to Germany? Pfft the plane ticket alone is more than one whole paycheck, don't be ridiculous."

I mean, brain is right, obviously. I do feel jipped by all those oh-so inspiring movies snd books and sayings: "you can do anything!" Or "nothing is impossible!"

Maybe if I didn't mind being homeless. Without a car. Or my dogs. 

Lol like people telling you to do what you love, then looking down their noses at it, full of concern; "how will you live off of that? Do you have a backup plan?" Liars. Ha.

Full of yearning or desire,  tinged with melancholy. I wistfully peer at pictures of far-away places and know I'll never get there.

Le Sigh.
