That Moment...

But I do look something like Violet Beauregarde...

 

And now I have the Oompa Loompa song stuck in my head. It's gonna be a long day...

 

TMW your creativity suddenly starts sparking, and comes up with better ideas for a project that's already completed, and now can't be changed.

 

That moment.... you find you wrote the same lines of dialogue twice just a page apart from each other. . (Clearly I fixed it. , which is fine because I wanted it sooner anyways.

 

If it makes you feel better, the armpit isn't the worst part of a goat you can smell like.

 

Wow. You are not only among the dapperest of hooligans, you are also an expert on goat smellage. You are an accomplished individual.

 

Well, we all have our own dark origin stories.

 

TMW you hear about some fucking woman who left her own two dogs locked in the laundry to die of starvation and dehydration, lying in their own waste because they couldn't go out to relieve themselves. WHY?! She doesn't even seem to have wanted to kill them, she just didn't give enough of a shit. Like, didn't she hear them whining or something? WHAT IS WITH SOME PEOPLE?!
Sorry for the downer.

 

For info this is the story and she was only fined $144 and 8o hours community service. Signed a petition supporting the increase of penalty in a review hearing because I reckon she could do with a few thou' less and at least five years in actual jail.

TMW you discover that you have tissues in 4 out of 5 pockets in the same jacket!

 

TMW you agree to go out and legit forget that it’s Black Friday weekend.

So. Many. People.

 

TMW you savor the flavor of something you haven't had in quite a while,
and just get giddy about the fact that it is just so damn good.
(I has no life.)

 

TMW a good friend from school days manages to look you up even when you've both moved countries several times and gives you a call out of the blue. We haven't spoken in decades. Happy nostalgia.

 

TMW you start doubting your writing abilities.

 

"But you're a writer JW. "

 

Self doubt is the stray mangy hound that follows authors around. Try to not let it catch you and pin you down. It's comes with the territory of being an author. Welcome to the club.

 

Cheetos?

 

That's one Americanism that the Japanese haven't glommed onto yet. They're trying, but it's still just ordinary Friday chaos.

 

I'm so intrigued. What was it?

 

Yeah, but it seems I just can't write it correctly.

 

Speaking as the worst writer here, you got this.

 

Aww.. Thanks CT. I know you've seen some of my stuff. (before the lessons from SG) .
