If life could just take a break from randomly skull-fucking me for once—or at least schedule a time and ask consent—yeah, that’d be great.
(In which Ghost is a cis-woman who gets sick like a man and requires medical intervention on the regular and inevitably ends up with horrible cramps AND yet another random household crisis, all at the same time.) I’ll live. I feel like roadkill, but I’ll live.

I’d settle for a clone to do the stuff I never get to, thanks to random emergencies and the inability of some adults in my life to actually, well, be adults.
Oh, and if Elderspawn’s tires could stop falling apart right before a holiday weekend, I would be very thankful indeed.

I know it is a first world problem, my life is not in danger and no one is trying to kidnap me off the street, but dealing with FAFSA under this regime is beyond frustrating! Are we great yet?
-
Damn, George… I’m truly sorry.

Tell me about it. Elderspawn is going back to school, this time for a degree in forensic science, while also planning on entering the NYPD cadet program. My head is aching…

Would anyone be up for a second opinion on a single chapter of a work in progress? I don’t really need any editing. (…unless someone notices a missing word or comma both I AND my editing app missed.) I asked on Reddit and got a reply, but they ghosted me. Ghosting someone who goes by “Ghost” is a bit on the nose, but whatever. It was a dick move.
To put this as simply and briefly as possible, my brain got fried with the packing, moving, and all that entailed. I had no time to write. Now that I have time, my brain is struggling to switch back to non-crisis mode—the storms and renovations aren’t helping—and focus. It’s stuck in a hamster wheel of “so tired/gotta keep working/where’s the box tape/shit, is that bug something to worry about/fuck, my ass hurts, why do I hurt so much,” and so forth. My writing muscles are atrophied to noodles and I’m struggling to get sentences out. I’m not really happy with the second half of my most recent work, the flow, or the pacing. It’s been well over a year since I updated the story, and I won’t even get started on the delay my others are experiencing. If anyone can help, I’d appreciate it more than my fried brain can express.
This can be a one-off, and I’m happy to correspond by Google Docs. The chapter has some cursing and questionable humor but nothing really dirty; the bulk of it, sans headings and notations, is just over 3,100 words, and I’ve already done what I can for editing. You shouldn’t run into any mistakes. Also, if you’ve read any of my other writing, I’m not writing any accents or using non-English language aside from a couple of words in elvish. I’m trying to keep this story simple, easy, and posted in small bites unlike my usual approach to writing. Fandom is Dragon Age: Inquisition; I’ve got the other chapters posted in the archive if anyone is morbidly curious.
-
I am game to give the chapter a read, mostly because I’m in a writing drought myself and looking for ways to jump-start myself, and because Inquisition is one of my favorite games.
(Actually, I really like Origins too, although DA:II was notable for lack of enthusiasm and effort on the part of the developers. The best part was Flemeth’s make-over, and Varric.)
So, I can be reached by email at bronxwench@gmail.com or via bronxwench9549 (display name is BronxWench) on Discord.

Corgis are a force of nature. We won’t discuss how hard it is to drive when you are being subjected to a mournful glare by a corgi who just had her butt examined.
I keep a stock of soft cones at home, which is a good thing. That hard cone lasted all of 4 hours before she managed to destroy it, in the process discovering she could flip her water dish over, and use said hard cone to ram knees of the criminals who took her to the vet in the first place. There are sins no amount of treats will expiate.

Just checked the YT link to the Naruto-reader’s channel and got a 404 error.

Thank you! I’m glad someone acted to curb this plagiarist!

Would really like a portkey out of here. Or a timeturner?

I’d like both, please.

Kids these days will never experience many of the rites of passage my generation valued more than gold. For instance: saving up your allowance for three weeks during the summer so you can buy one of those giant plastic Pixie Stix at the public pool’s canteen and downing the whole thing in one go to use it as a snorkel and spending the rest of the month with a burning feeling in the back of your throat that tastes like cherries, chlorine, and stale pee.
…those lucky saps.

Wooden skateboards with roller skate wheels and zero flexibility, ridden at top speed on concrete sidewalks. The road rash we could achieve when we hit the inevitable bump in the pavement made hardcore, leather-clad bikers green with envy.

This day 6 years ago, I landed in New York, my first time in the US. Hard to believe it was that long ago. That trip was when I saw snow for the first time. That was very exciting. Although I soon realised what a pain in the arse it is.

If you decide to visit again, come in August so you can laugh at all of us when we complain about it being 95°F, and we’re melting.

I have been down with this nasty flu bug since Monday. Finally able to move around again. Ugh.

It’s been a rough season already. I had a cold that took me out for nearly a week, and I’m still not quite right.

I managed to get a new iMac I didn’t want to buy yet a hop, skip, and jump before the old one died. My “old” version of Office won’t install on the new one. I’ve tried “Pages.” I’m a lot less unimpressed than I was before trying it.
-
I wound up buying Office as a digital download, and got the product key via email, which is the least secure method for purchasing software ever. The biggest issue was getting past the zillion “Are you really sure you don’t want Office 365 because it’s neat and you can save everything to the Cloud and everyone will think you’re completely awesome and we get RMR which is our dream scenario because we don’t have to do a damned thing to get your money every month” sales pitches.
Of course, the installer was suspicious about my older version of Office that had lived on my 10 year old Dell, despite my having uninstalled it. I was lucky enough to get someone in Tech Support who actually knew what they were talking about, rather than just reading from a canned script. It was a miracle...

Microsoft is brutally awful with older versions of Word. Basically, they want you to buy a subscription to Office 365, so they make it incredibly difficult. I had to uninstall Office on my old computer, and still couldn’t reinstall it on my new computer. We don’t want to talk about how hard it is to actually buy a new copy of the standalone program.
I’m not an Apple user, so I can’t comment on Pages, but someone told me you can save Pages documents as Word documents, so that might be helpful if you really need the Word format.
But anyway, congrats on the new Mac!

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak… I want to write something, though!
