someone: repeating things that reinforce a negative self view and world outlook such as the oh so popular tumblr niche of nihilistic ‘i want to die and everything is awful’ “jokes”
me, in recovery, trying not to get dragged into that with them:
found one of the short stories i was looking for but not the other! but thats okay because i already started rewriting the one i couldnt find and i think i am making it better than before. but also found ANOTHER one that is OK not great not sure if i will try to publish that
becca and i literally had a conversation yesterday about how yes we both love nick kroll and john mulaney but the animation is so ugly in big mouth its a no before seeing that post... and now we are watching it and i cant focus on the jokes bc its so ugly...
it has been YEARS that i have been writing short stories and never submitting any for publication but you know what i want to actually go for this... if i want to sell a screenplay i have to have some published work. short fiction is an awesome medium for me because it is... short...
my two stories that are nearly done but need to be located are
1. yellow paint
2. reggie & argo
then there are my NEWER ONES that are all currently very incomplete but with solid concepts, characters, and intros
3. experiencers
4. pathways (sci-fi story! my first genre story)
5. once released
6. private politics
really excited!! i have just been writing so much lately and i am so proud of my progress so far. i have been reading the writers market book to pick places to submit for publication... i am like kind of offended by places that only pay like $50 for a story just like when you think of the time that goes into each one so i decided that i am only applying to ones that pay like at least a couple hundred because come on. i know i need to like be ready to publish to really think about that but I AM CLOSE with a couple of them!! i am SO CLOSE!!
currently have SIX short stories in the works and i am having so much fun with them!! i am so excited to try to get them all published. 2 of them i wrote in college and are done and i just have to do some editing
looking back at this past year at my job. i am so lucky that i get to do something that i love 💗 i supervise a daycare for puppies with a life skills training and socialization program that i helped to design. it’s a lot of work but i am so lucky to get to do something that makes me happy every day 🐾
