Contact my references and make sure that they remember who I am and haven’t decided that they hate me.



turn 26 without crying about it
this saturday 3 years ago

I will turn 26 in two days, and I sort of can’t handle it. Wasn’t I 12, like, a few weeks ago?



write 52 stories in a year
I was doing so well... 3 years ago

...but I haven’t been writing much lately, and when I do, I can’t seem to finish anything. The thing that worked (in January through March) about my story-a-week scheme is that I would force myself to finish whatever I was working on in just a couple days; it didn’t always make for the most stirring or inventive pieces of literature, but at least I was producing first drafts.
