Absence
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Especially when it comes to toilet paper. And sleep. And addicting substances.Â
Before #nanowrimo, thoughts on writing from Neil Gaiman.
#3 is definitely the hardest for me as a writer, as evidenced by my pile of WIPs.Â
#5 was the hardest to learn as a beta reader, though. (In spite of having heard that quote before.) But invariably, Iâve learned that if I just tell Cherie where something feels off to me and quit telling her how I would fix it, sheâll come up with a solution thatâs about 100 times more awesome than anything I would have thought of.Â
At a Jim Butcher book signing one time, someone asked him if he and his wife Shannon Butcher ever helped each other with their writing. He said no, not really, but sometimes if they were really stuck, one of them might run their problem by the other one and get their input. The funny thing was that neither one ever took the otherâs advice. He said that wasnât the point. Hearing what the other person said was enough for them to go, âNo, thatâs not it at all, and hereâs whyâŚâ and get themself unstuck.
As for my ideas being 100 times more awesome than what Aphreal comes up with, thatâs obviously a lie. But probably my ideas fit better in my stories just because they both came from my brain. Which is the same as when I give Aphreal suggestions and she comes back with something much better thatâs exactly right for her story.
Likewise, #3 seems to be my biggest challenge right now.
"He said no, not really, but sometimes if they were really stuck, one of them might run their problem by the other one and get their input. The funny thing was that neither one ever took the otherâs advice. He said that wasnât the point. Hearing what the other person said was enough for them to go, âNo, thatâs not it at all, and hereâs whyâŚâ and get themself unstuck."
This is awesome advice.
It is perfectly okay to write garbageâas long as you edit brilliantly.

My comic; âIntroversionâ is finished! Please go to the main page of my blog to read it in full size (the text is kinda small)
I really hope youâll like it!
Yes! I relate to this so much. Though sometimes everyone else thinking there's something wrong with my introverted habits gets to me and I feel like I must be stunted somehow :(

Ten rape prevention tips: 1. Donât put drugs in womenâs drinks. 2. When you see a woman walking by herself, leave her alone. 3. If you pull over to help a woman whose car has broken down, remember not to rape her. 4. If you are in an elevator and a woman gets in, donât rape her. 5. When you encounter a woman who is asleep, the safest course of action is to not rape her. 6. Never creep into a womanâs home through an unlocked door or window, or spring out at her from between parked cars, or rape her. 7. Remember, people go to the laundry room to do their laundry. Do not attempt to molest someone who is alone in a laundry room. 8. Use the Buddy System! If it is inconvenient for you to stop yourself from raping women, ask a trusted friend to accompany you at all times. 9. Carry a rape whistle. If you find that you are about to rape someone, blow the whistle until someone comes to stop you. 10. Donât forget: Honesty is the best policy. When asking a woman out on a date, donât pretend that you are interested in her as a person; tell her straight up that you expect to be raping her later. If you donât communicate your intentions, the woman may take it as a sign that you do not plan to rape her.

13 Reasons You Shouldnât Care About The Environment
Thereâs been a lot of talk lately about the environment. People yapping about global crises, climate change, mass extinctions, unsustainable population growth, global resource depletion, and on and on and on! Itâs all a bunch of baloney. Trust me, Iâm from the internet. I know.
Let me guess. Youâre still thinking about doing some of your own research, instead of blindly putting your trust in me. Â Before you start, let me ask you just one question--what did that âcritical thinkingâ they talked so much about in school ever get you? Are you a multi-millionaire now? No!
Total waste of time, Q.E.D.
So, 13 reasons you shouldnât care about the environment, conveniently collected for you right here: 1) Climate change, especially if itâs supposed to be caused by humans, is all just a giant conspiracy by the Left. The only people who believe that crap-ola are the UNâs Intergovernment Panel on Climate Change, the National Academy of Sciences, the Union of Concerned Scientists, Â and everybody other than highly intelligent, completely unbiased political leaders on the right. 2) You werenât using those glaciers anyway. 3) You know what wouldnât happen during a nuclear winter? Mosquitoes. Yeah, betcha you donât hear those tree-hugging hippies talking about that. Â Cherry-picking facts, is what that is. 4) So more species are going extinct today than since all the dinosaurs died and became fossil fuel? Simple. Build more zoos. BAM, problem solved. 5) Once all the rainforests are gone, you can totally sell that tree in your yard for like a bazillion dollars. 6) Actually, at the rate weâre clearing land there will be enough not just for strip mining (which, by the way, isnât so badâwhy shouldnât the earth show off more of its assets? Those environmentalist are a bunch of prudes) but also gigantic sports arenas! Football is life! Plus those people blabbering about losing our open spaces will have to find something else to get self-righteous about. 7) Someone Else will take care of it, just like Someone Else has taken care of things so far. 8) What are we trying to save the world for anyway? So illegal immigrants can come and take over? We already have a president who was born in Kenyaâclearly the best country in the world (LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!!) is beyond repair. At this point the End can only improve things. 9)âUnsustainable population growthâ âGeez, people, weâve known how to deal with this for almost 300 years now! Itâs all right here--if, by some totally improbable chance we do end up destroying the environment and all our food sources, that âunsustainable populationâ is going to be looking pret-ty good to you. Delicious, even. 10) Your mother doesnât like you. Thatâs not a reason per se, but she called and wanted me to break the news to you anyway. 11) As we all know, the oil companies care so much about the environmentâthereâs no need for the rest of us to even think about it. Theyâve got it all under control. 12) Some people are whining about water shortages, and yet more people are complaining about sea levels rising! A five year old could tell you that doesnât make any sense! Make up your minds people! Oh, thatâs right, you tree-hugging liberals donât have any! 13) If you really cared about the environment, youâd read a piece like this realize animal agriculture does just as much, if not more damage to the earth and its resources as burning fossil fuelsâand then youâd have to think about maybe changing your diet. Is that even possible? No!
So stop thinking about itâstop thinking period actually, weâve already been over why itâs a bad idea. If you absolutely must do something, go sign a petition to stop people from eating dogs in China. And enjoy that hamburger.
Whatâs the alternative? Take action? Let me tell you, we did not get to where we are today by taking action. And you know, taking action might require you to change your lifestyle. You might need to do something more drastic than tossing that soda can in the recycling bin. Really, thatâs just going overboard. The status quo is what gets you status. Itâs right there in the name.
So thatâs why you shouldnât care about the environment. Â And especially donât do anything about itâyou could sprain something.
Just sit there. Itâll all work out.
Best Excuses For Giving Up On A Creative Project
1) It was blocking me from pursuing my New Better Project, which I can now devote my full attention toâand of course finish in a jiffy.
2) The project is terrible, has no merit at all, the fact that I conceived it only proves my pretensions to Creative Pursuits are delusional. Will spend rest of life in woods eating worms.Â
3) That was always how I intended it to look/sound/tilt dangerously to the right.
4) âSmashed to piecesâ is a completely legitimate commentary on the broken state of free expression in this country.
5) I am merely protesting the obsession Society has for putting things in boxes and labeling them. âFinished,â âUnfinished,â â-who decides these things?
6) Decided project was keeping me tethered to this false world. Joined ashram and will now devote my time to freeing myself of earthly desires.
7) Consider the sandwich. Its layers, texture, unending potential, variety, multicultural history and influence. Is there anything more worthy of the label âArtâ? And what other piece of Art could satisfy so deep-seated a hunger in its creator? Clearly the sandwich trumps all other forms of creativity. Why bother spending time on anything else?

Writing in Notebooks vs Writing on Laptops
I often write better in notebooks than on my computer, at least initially.
Something about the way the words are only there, coming out on that piece of paper, makes it easier to let the words go. Because I can always cross it out and turn the page later, if I'm not satisfied with what came out. But it will still be there, physically existing in my little notebook for as long as I have it (or can find it). I can always come back to it, to see what I was up to before, to see the earlier stages of evolution, to see that maybe it didn't need to be crossed out after all--or maybe just that one phrase is worth keeping and using again somewhere else.Â
When I'm writing on my computer, there's speed, and cut & paste, and spell check and backspacing. There are all kinds of nifty tools to help me produce the piece of writing I want to. But there is also hesitation, because if I use that backspace button what I delete is much harder to get back. And if I want to go back and look at earlier stages of what I've done I have to save multiple drafts as I go along, and then go back and look through each one separately to see if there's something interesting that might be lost or forgotten, and generally I don't have the patience for that process. Plus any files I save as drafts clutter up my documents folder. The end result is I don't feel as free to make mistakes and cross them out on computers, and so I write more slowly on them, wary of putting down the wrong thing. Â
And a good deal of writing for me is putting the wrong thing down. Because often I don't recognize it's not quite what I mean until I've already written it, and then I can think about why it's not quite what I mean, and how to say what I really do mean, and try to write that instead.Â
Wise Old Sayings I Just Made Up
A mountain can be made from a molehill, but only ants could ski down it.Â
They who rule with fists of iron should be made aware of the recent progress in plastic and polymer prosthetics.
 The seas of change are turbulent, but just as salty as the regular ones.Â
One man's gas is another man's punditry.Â

5 Ways To Deal With Disappointment
1) Tell yourself itâs not the end of the world. While this is obviously not true, those around you will not stop saying it, and you should accustom yourself to hearing itâand ignoring it. You know better.
 2) Distract yourself with something else. Some may implyâor even outright sayâthat assembling the worldâs largest Beanie Babies collection is a pointless and even wasteful taskâbut Iâve got just one question for themâwhereâs the science? Hmm? Show me the study that says âBeanie Babies are not the answer to lifeâs problems.â
Coming up empty? Yeah, thatâs what I thought.
 3) Do not just get drunk. Despite what popular wisdom would have you believe, getting wasted and pouring out your troubles to Andre the bartender will only lead to ruin and harsh rejection. And Andre is not at all as sympathetic as he pretends to be. Also, restraining orders are apparently ridiculously easy to obtain in this country.
Prostitutes are a much better bet. You spend about the same amount of money anyway.
 4) Spend time alone with your disappointment, confronting the feelings stirred up by the emotional upheaval youâve had. Give yourself the space and freedom to deal with you feelings in your own time.
Then go out and punch someone.
 5) Appreciate the simple things in life. Go out and find the most beautiful garden you can. Stop and smell the roses.
Then come back under the cover of darkness and destroy it.
If you canât have nice things, no one should.
 5b) Optional course. Get over it and move on. This course is not recommended and only included at the insistence of my mom.Â
