We were taught the writer's discipline during university, when I was taking my BFA in Creative Writing. You really can't rely on inspiration when you write, which is what sucks because it takes a lot of the passion and fun out of it. You can't fuel yourself on passion, you have to really learn how to grind because writing isn't like riding a bike and you just know how to do it instinctively. It's exercise, you need to keep working on it. That's why if I'm not writing plays I'm writing RP in P2TM. It's good to keep the gears churning, and sometimes there's just that one RP I really should post in even if I've lost all my initial drive for it. Discipline > inspiration when it comes to writing fuel.

You say that, but some of the best pieces of work I've ever done was when I was running on fumes at 2 AM and had a sudden idea pop up.

I hope you'll credit me with the assumption I didn't actually need any of that advice, given the timespan I already mentioned. I study writing and those works are the stuff I practice method on. Well, y'know, when I don't use GMing to do so.

Also apparently my new good irl friend dated one of my exes.

Who got me in a lot of trouble and made me go through a lot of pain-but not over them.

And apparently she likes both my and his type as we're similar.

And his brother is dating one of my best friends.

And my fosterfriend's(which I'll use to refer to fosterfamily members without specifying, for privacy's sake)brother is dating that same girl.
And apparently that fosterfriend's brother gets in a lot of trouble and in with the wrong people.

And that same new good friend knows of my first high school gf who dated a lot of people and became infamous for it. I was a freshman, she was my first real gf.
That's just a fraction of what I've found out about my circle friends.

Why in a high school of over 3000 people, somehow developed a perfectly round circle of people and friends involved somehow in all my life drama indirectly or directly, even when I didn't even know them? :blink:

EDIT: Wait...I'm a candidate and if I win....

OH GOD THE PAPARAZZI!

Wow that is something straight out of a shitty romantic comedy. Like I am tempted to come over there record all of this drama and make it into like a reality tv show. :p
I do be tired
