The Happiness Thread

it could have been anything, but sometimes having that block is needed to re analyse what you want to do with your writing

 

Happy to "see" you around again! I'd wondered how you were doing.

 

Ta @Catrin Lewis.

I was really only posting in the picture thread this last year. I'm terribly visually orientated for a someone who wants to write. It has advantages as well as disadvantages but it irks me. I'm not a naturally gifted plotter (most definately a pantser) so it's always hard work. Yesterday was the first time in a long time that I actually felt some kind of flow happening.

I'm actually starting to think that may have had something to do with the fact I came up with my new plot while in Stream of Conciousness mode. I've never done that before and I seem to be yielding results. Could be a fluke though.

Aside adjusting to new meds, I'm feeling really good right now. Amazing the boost I feel when I know I've written a decent paragraph.

 

I'm happy, because not only have I given @obsidian_cicatrix a nudge, but its also given me a nudge to try and write in a completely new genre as well, and surprisingly, not the one I was originally expecting to either...

 

Well, as far as I can tell, my change of tack has been beneficial. A change is as good as a rest, eh?

 

Yep, i agree I think we both needed that kick up the backside and this competition has given both of us that

 

Just came my speech therapist. She said I did so well talking to her that I don't have to come back until I absolutely feel like it.

 

Had some blood work done and it appears I'm anemic. Why is this in the happy thread? Because my soreness, fatigue, headaches and etc that I've been having that have been a pain in the arse could all just be symptoms of that. Knowing what it is we can wor on it nad I can feel like a human being again. There making me take iron supplements and retest my blood in a couple of weeks, i`m assuming that`s to see if it`s Iron Defencey. I`m just happy to know what it is, now I can actually get things done once we sort this out.

 

Post was more appropriate as a new thread, so it's been deleted.

 

My summer bonus at work is 6x what I was expecting, so that was a nice surprise!

 

I feel happy because while I was out boating, I rescued a man whose boat stalled in the waters. He's safe and sound, and I told him to be safe.

All in all, a good day. Be careful when you go out for a boat ride, y'all.

 

Link's a hero!

 

Oooh! Oooh! Make a short story out of it!

 

I'm happy to have hit a hundred likes, even if Oscar gave me sixty of them. Only took eight years, too.

 

So, in the space of a couple of days, i have gotten a couple of job interviews

 

Woooo! Good luck, Chaos!

 

Thanks, it's only retail interviews but i really need something for the summer

 

I'm happy because, well... friends.

My hard drive corrupted recently, so I've been without a computer. My daughter lent me her spare laptop and I've been typing away on that but it's really old and slow. I usually go to see these friends one day a week. We have dinner, catch up, go do something fun. Today my friend was hunched over a cute little notebook installing Windows when I arrived. We conversed for a bit while it was loading and when he was finished, he handed it over saying, "There ya go! This is for you."

I've just installed Scrivener on it.

 

I get to go on a trip next week to a convention I've wanted to go to for the last 2-3 years but never had the chance to go to until now!

 

Does it involve balloon animals?

 

Well the first of my two interviews is today, in a little over 3 hours. I don't know why i'm nervous, i've done this plenty of times before... Now, to research the company LOL

 

Happy because I have my first gig this Friday as a solo artist (playing guitar and singing). I just need to write some songs now

 

I'm happy because a friend of mine has just got married to someone far better than her ex who pretty much played her for 10/20 years, He's a little loud, but treats her extremely well, and his kids love her to pieces and it's so nice to see

 

Thought I lost my wallet, meaning I had to replace everything. Turns out I left it at home.

 

I'm happy because I've finished my degree with a 2:1 and that means I will get to wear some funny robes and a square hat and probably fall over on stage in front of about 300 people - so yay!
