Mmmm... toast...

Okay... I'll admit it, I let the Thorn and Ash story take me for a while. It's... odd to do that again, and know that I can just concentrate on it. Much as I did on chatsubo when I was writing there. But no one else to really answer to. That's odd, too. No one to meld styles with or concepts with and... that's pretty cool.

Class was odd and cool last night. The last thing I expected out of Jeremiah was a message of hope. Of how to live life, and to just face the consequences and what's really there, in order to do what's necessary, even if it isn't liked, and keep going on to something better.

I think that that and something blackwingedboy wrote broke open something for number 3. That felt right. Staying up until 1 to get it all out wasn't quite the best thing I could have done, in a way, but I really wanted to get out of the way of what I had to write...

It's kind of interesting realizing that I really don't have as much of a push to do the interactive thing with other people. I really need to, in some ways, figure out if I really can just write on my own stuff that's actually worth reading.

I'm not very good with the self-confidence thing yet, and it's easier to use other people as a crutch in my state. I keep going, well... I didn't do as well as I wanted to, or what they did to the story wasn't what I would have done... or... that plot sure isn't any good. Or... whatever... when other people bend the story, it's easy to just throw up my hands now and give up on it. Or just not really think of it as *mine* something to be proud of.

I know Model 66 wasn't mine. *laughter* Too many people put too much work into it, so it's hard for me to really use it to build on and think... oh... maybe I am good at this writing stuff.

So it's a little weird in my head in some ways.

But it's also fun to play off other people's ideas...

I should look that up sometime -- I assume it exists somewhere on the net. I remember that circumstances caused me to suddenly drop out of it just as things were reaching a climax, and I don't know that I ever found out whether we all won or not :)
