    That moment when you're not sure what 'home' is anymore.

    TMW politicians keep a pre-election promise. First time for everything. Do wonder why it took 5 hours of deliberation to make the decision though...

    TMW you wonder how your gay Christian friend feels about your straight Christian friend posting things like this on Facebook. :meh:

    Congratulations on preserving something that has a 40% failure rate. And doing sweet FA to improve it one whit.

    TMW...

    You realize with dread that a scene you kept rewriting multiple times before in various different ways in your first draft is cropping up again. Sure it's finally where it belongs but...ugh, I gotta do this again!? D: I did it, like, 5 times already!!

    The critical thing for photography is light.

    If you can set up a corner in the shop with a globe in the ceiling with 5500K (sunlight) and lean against something for a stable shot, you can probably do it with your phone. Check out things like this: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=phone+lens&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ma&Top+Nav-Search= to add slightly better optics to your phone camera.

    My second hand lens is going to cost $1500.

    TMW the penny finally drops, in part thanks to a critique you did, and your dream project, which has a destination and a vehicle, all of a sudden gains a road.

    Woo mfking hoo, believe me. This is good.

    TMW you're watching the news and the American flag is being raised over the US embassy in Cuba for the first time in 54 years. This is the first time that's happened in my entire life.

    Good for the Castros, yes. Remains to be seen about the Cuban people or the US.

    TMW your eldest turns 7 and you wonder how the hell that happened. Weird to see this little 3lb 14oz, helpless little thing transform into a real-life human with whom you converse about real-life topics, right before your eyes.

    TMW you realize you blink too often.

    TMW...

    You are 17K words into your fantasy until you realize that this world war scenario you're writing holds no interest to you. You remember back to when you used to like Harry Potter, back before it became the typical ‘Chosen One foretold by the prophecy to save the world’ tripe.

    You realize that that's the kind of story you still want to read. A fantasy that doesn't involve saving the world...but you're 17K words into that scenario. GAH!! D:

    TMW Amazon PrimeNOW is a thing, and they deliver to your city. You don't even need anything, but you so desperately want to use this service, that you find yourself scrolling through the Amazon list looking for something to buy which you'd like delivered within 2 hours.

    TMW...

    You're discussing POV in another writing forum and as an example of third-person omniscient, you type up a brief paragraph of Harry punching Ron in the face.

    TMW you wonder how and why imagining Harry beating up his best friend came to you so easily.

    TMW you wonder what would happen if you wrote poetry with a rhyme scheme patterned off of rap music.

    TMW you manage to hit a fly sitting on the inside top edge of the bowl, mid stream, and then flush him away :D
