Ugh.
Just deleted the entire story I’ve been fighting with all day. :P I COULD NOT make it move in any direction at all.
Maybe it’ll work better the second time around.

That’s because, deep down in your soul Pretty, you want to finish THAT OTHER STORY…. ;-)
Unfortunately, Kijia, this IS that story. XD

You ever have that thing where you have an exciting new idea for a story, but when you try to write it, it goes so badly that you don’t even want to write it anymore?
Ugh.

(Stealing a couple of paragraphs from The Daily Dot)
Yahoo might could make this work for itself and others, if it doesn’t make the cardinal mistake of
4) Underestimating fandom
When Yahoo bought, then tried to sunset Delicious, it did more than just piss off a good chunk of the Internet…
And this is why I’ve been so pissed off for so long with Tumblr’s...

It’s like this…
You’re fourteen and you’re reading Larry Niven’s “The Protector” because it’s your father’s favorite book and you like your father and you think he has good taste and the creature on the cover of the book looks interesting and you want to know what it’s about. And in it the female character does something better than the male character -...

Victoria's Secret - Fabulous →
Victoria’s Secret has finally done it. They have come out with a bikini that looks *exactly* like underwear.
At last. Now women can strip off at the beach and claim to be wearing swimsuits. Freedom is ours to claim.

The Antidiogenes Club: Weekend Write-or-Die: 2013... →
antidiogenes:
It’s the third weekend of the month… so the Antidiogenes Club is running this weekend!
Here are the (copy-pasted) rules:
Write as much as you can over the weekend.
That’s basically it.
For my own personal convenience, I am defining “the weekend” as going from Friday, May…
It’s that time again! Come join the crowd of people who’ve chosen to spend their...

What’s Behind Bee Die-Off? U.S. and Europe... →
bluesrat:
A number of factors seem to be contributing to the bee die-off, which is both good and bad. Some of them, fortunately, are easy fixes (such as feeding bees a healthier food than high fructose corn syrup—no really), which means the situation could be ameliorated in the short term if not entirely addressed; other factors are far more difficult to deal with, either for policy reasons or...

"Why am I so much more creative when I'm tired?" →
martwhim:
This also translates into:
“Why am I so motivated when it’s really late?”
“The best time to make ideas is through sleep deprivation!”
“I want to do so much more right before bed and I don’t understand why!”
etc.
So basically when you stay up way too late it effects your problem solving ability and your ability to make decisions. [1]
Do you want to know a possible reason as to why...

I do feel better today, thanks in part to a good night’s sleep, and also to all you amazing, wonderful people with your caring and your good thoughts. <3
For those who were wondering what had me in such a funk, basically job-hunting sucks.
*smishes you all*

I feel like crap today. Useless and abandoned by the people I counted on to support me. Wondering if they’re right to do so.
Ugh, it was one stupid comment and I know, intellectually, that I’m blowing it out of proportion. Hopefully I’ll feel better tomorrow. My energy’s just too low to deal with my own hurt feelings today.

Anonymous asked you:
Hello! I’m a big fan of both your writing and your art, you’re really talented! I noticed in your latest Loss of Flesh and Soul artwork, you mentioned that the chapter 6 draft had been finished and you were going to have it beta-d. I don’t do any writing, and don’t know how online submissions work. I’m just curious- how does your process for writing a fanwork...

This is an amazing set of art tutorials/resources. Cutting due to length, but there are Cat, Dog, Bird, Human, Dragon, Bear, Horse, Bear, Clothing, Background, and general tutorials. If you actually went through all of these, you’d be here for years. Amazing stuff.

I said that I’d show some tutorials I have saved up to someone, but decided that I’d just go ahead and...

bluesrat:
Finally members of Congress have put forth serious DMCA reform legislation and rights groups are praising it right out of the gate.

The Unlocking Technology Act of 2013 legalizes unlocking cell phone unlocking...
