as long as you're down on your knees
You know, I really need to get around this inability to settle down and study. It might just prove problematic.
I have a confession.
For the last three - four? - months, I haven't had the emotional energy to think about writing original fiction. I am sure many people might admit this to be quite normal, with a thesis and final year exams to dwell upon.
On the other hand, I've started writing fanfiction in that span of time. It doesn't require investment. It doesn't matter to me in the same way. It started as a way to keep my hand in, to keep some half-assed memory of how to write sentences and paragraphs that aren't academic nonsense. But I've written something like fifteen thousand words of it in the last month alone. It doesn't require commitment.
Perhaps it says something about me that I find this worrying.
Today, I committed the extravagance of purchasing new tshirts. It feels very unusual, since it's almost a year since I bought a tshirt.
(Yes. I wear things until they fall apart and then some.)

A million words of crap, or regrowing brain cells, or both. I'm not going to judge your pressure valve. Besides, during this job hunt, I'm watching the BBC Merlin and feeling like a perv. I got no room to throw stones--at least you're doing something creative!

...*does not look forward to finishing masters by research, then*
Ah, Merlin. *is within six degrees of separation from famous actor* Poor wasted good actors. Poor terrible writers/directors/producers.
