My pay still hasn’t gone in yet, and it’s starting to mess with my work.  I know it’s been only two weeks, not enough time to sort out everything that went wrong.  People are on it and they are very sympathetic.  Everything is going to be fine.  The people in charge of my housing are the same people in charge of my pay and they know what’s going on and aren’t going to throw me out.  I still have emergency loan money and it is enough to keep me in groceries for another month, which I could probably stretch out to two if it were absolutely necessary, which I am sure it won’t be.  I am going to be fine.

But like, the thing that made me so very very good at being poor is experience with this stuff, and those experiences kind of left grooves in my soul that I can’t seem to work around now.  Every letter from my various creditors turns me into a puddle of quivering goo.  Despite my promises that people will get paid as soon as I do, I’ve had to quit checking my bank account at the office because it messes me up for the next two hours.  I’ve had to stop reading theory altogether because I just can’t concentrate because I’m freaking out.  I clock in for twelve hours and get thirty minutes of work done.  Been thinking of saying something to the people I report to, except that since they’re on it, probably the only thing it will do is make them feel bad. 

It absolutely does not help that I have two 8 AM classes every week,and have to be out of my apartment by 9 AM on a third day.  That is 100% on me though.  They offered me the 8 AM course and instead of saying, “I’m sorry, I’m not available at that time,” what I said to them was, “Mornings aren’t so good for me but I’ll do my best.”  And what I was saying to myself was, Gosh, it’s been like three weeks and I find mornings vexing and arduous but not impossible!  Am I cured now, or was I simply faking all this time?  Haha, guess I’ll never know, but time to embrace my new daywalker powers! 

And I went on thinking that right up until I couldn’t find the group I was supposed to meet on the cafeteria steps, ran into one of my host professors, and promptly burst into tears.  I kept saying, “I’m sorry, I know it’s not that bad; I just haven’t slept.”  Which was technically a lie, but more plausible than “I’m sorry, I know it’s not that bad; I slept the correct amount of hours but it means I’m awake at a really bad time of day for me.”  And yeah, I’m functional.  I’m maintaining it.  The ironclad discipline I have to exercise in order to be in bed by three most nights is kind of a drag, and on early nights right when I start perking up, I also have to start winding down.  But I don’t want to keep doing this.  But the 8 AM classes seem like the only way I can fulfill one of my promises to the university.

But like, mostly things are good.  Lovely apartment on the side of a mountain.  The bakery makes pumpkin seed rolls with melted cheese on top.  Smoked fish is cheap and I have six kinds of cheese in my fridge at all times.  The climb to campus is excellent cardio.  My office is the nicest place I’ve ever cried in.  The people are lovely and they are working really hard to make me feel welcome.  I just need to sort some stuff out and it will all be fine.

Currently rereading a bunch of books from that one weird era of my life when I would read entire novels in less than a day for some reason, probably undiagnosed neurodivergence or mental illness. Anyways, I barely remember the plot of any of those books, and rereading something I know I enjoyed before is less intimidating than starting something brand new so I think it'll be a good way to get back into reading. It's very fun because a) I'm taking my time and actually absorbing the story before moving right on to the next one and b) I'm an "adult" and therefore able to actually understand some of the stuff that went over my head the first time around. 10/10 would recommend

If you don't mind, do you have any advice for writing short drabbles. I often intend to write shorter pieces but then I get too many ideas and it ends up being in about 6 or 7000 words.

It's one of those situations where I really regret that my creative writing aspect of my degree didn't include more tips and tricks. Since it was more focused on showing our work. I really admire anyone who can just write snippets or a scene and leave it there.

i can’t decide if i have trouble writing short stuff or long stuff, but i tend to “underwrite” and have to add more description and monologue while editing.

ik what it’s like to have too many ideas tho. if something just won’t fit or it’ll drag on the piece too long, i store it in my notes for later, to remind myself i WILL use it just not now

stay on topic so to speak. what’s your main conflict and what events will increase the tension without dragging out the more minor plot points? related to that, show don’t tell.

i think i go into short snippets with one main conflict/thing i wanna write/small situation that interests me. outline everything, even short stuff. that’ll help keep from getting writer’s block or overall not knowing what to do, or getting distracted and overwriting. short stuff also doesn’t need that much exposition. you’re giving the reader one scene, so you don’t need to put your ‘all’ into it if that makes sense
