Yeah!! >:O
Actually, that's probably some of the better advice I've heard. I don't want people gettin' to my ideas first!

I've finally gotten some sleep, although the writing isn't going so well. xd
I try to be motivated with writing by thinking about other people getting to my ideas first; however, most of the time I just end up thinking my ideas are too stupid for anyone to steal. That's not very motivating. ~_~

Aha, I finally feel able to write again. Aaand my BPD is flaring so this will end badly. IDGAF. (Basically, when this happens, it always comes out really dark and angry and I don't want to write like that, but what the hell.) Also, I keep going on about mh s**t. Sorry, I know it must be annoying. It's because I'm stuck back on sick leave with, so I haven't got a lot else going on. Just sitting on my chair, not writing and generally hating things.
Kitsune: Gaia is evil, I hate it.
Also, Ive recently rediscovered the games, and I'm Blackjacking like woah, but like to what end? Idk.
JK: Glad you got some sleep. =] Yeah, I always hate my ideas.
I have to think them through because otherwise... stuff seeps in, but that gives me more time to go 'Nah, that's dumb'.
I bet your ideas are lovely though. Because it's writers who never question anything they do who tend to suck, they just churn whatever out. So chin up!

Yea, currently trying to plow through draft thesis writing atm. It's absolutely terrible but mostly I just need to get it all out. After that I can edit and analyse what ideas need to be in there, but just getting it down is the hard part. I just need to be less picky about first draft material, especially with these early chapters that will probably be revised heavily anyhow as the thesis changes shape over the next year.
Sorry about the hating (esp of evil Gaia razz ), how long are you stuck on sick leave for, or is it just open ended atm?

When I first started out as a writer, I remember hearing that if one wanted to master a particular style/genre of writing, they should learn to write things in another style as well. Like writing a crime drama to improve your skills in horror stories.

I'd agree there writing is generally improved by trying different types of writing. Trying to make time to get back into creative writing, hoping this will help attempting to write my thesis.

Thanks, hope I do too. xd Tend to question whether or not this PhD was right for me each day. Only 2 more years though. I just want to finish, even if I decide to leave academia behind me, I just want it done.
Realise I haven't seen you in here in quite awhile Yurei, hope all is well with you. Also, realise you sent a PM I never responded to because I'm not used to PMs not being Gaia NPC spam and I just click them away without even really looking at them anymore. If I hadn't gotten a friend request recently it would have stayed buried and forgotten. ~_~ But yes, yes the thumb bleeds forever! MUWHAHAHA!!! twisted

Sacked? That doesn't sound good. But thanks Morgey, the hard part is believing in myself. =/

Woe is me, I no longer have to wake up at 4am every day of my life, how will I ever go on? Ahaaa. I missed application forms! (No I didn't). Surprised it didn't happen sooner really, I'm fairly sure you aren't supposed to shout at customers. I just hate them so much though. =|
Believing in yourself IS hard, and I don't think anyone really gets the hang of it. Other than self-important wankers, but otherwise, yeah. I suppose going in with the attitude of just getting it done is pretty good for that?

4am? Ick, I think, 6am is generally the earliest I've done a regular get up for work routine. To do 4am I'd have to start going to bed around 10 I think, I don't think I could do that. And I understand why you aren't supposed to shout at customers, but some of them definitely deserve it. Go trawl through notalwaysright.com, maybe it'll make you feel better.
I don't think people with great self-importance take on Arts PhDs, especially unfunded Arts PhDs, but maybe I'm the only one hating life. The only other person I know doing this who isn't funded is living off a substantial inheritance. I think a lot of the misery comes from being the 'poor' one. I'm torn between work sucks and I feel absolutely no self-worth in what I'm doing right now, meh.

I meant to reply to this yesterday, but I got carpal tunnel'd. Sorry. ><
That isn't much sleep. I was trying to get to sleep at 6pm because I'm a lazy b*****d... but I'm a night person so that's when my brain wakes up. So it didn't work.
Notalwaysright is good in theory, but a lot of the submissions. I'm like... yes, I believe that happened. =P But shops would be nicer if there were no customers.
-Hug- I hope things improve for you. It's obviously tough at the moment, and I totally get where you're coming from. And I think it's easy to lose self-worth in what you're doing because you're so close to it, but for what it's worth, I think doing a PhD is ******** amazing.
I can't really be too much help there, because my pov is that life is shitty and miserable anyway, so if it's something that enriches you, it's worth it, but idk if that's any good. I got told that sometimes we have to go through s**t to get it out of the way, and I don't really believe it but ... maybe.
Sorry, I'm being patronising, but that's my unsolicited opinion.
