It seems like I only ever do things when I don't need to do them. This can sometimes be a good thing, but I want to start up Portal 2 again and have another whack at it and I'm not actually at the computer (this is a tablet).

I got an idea for a fantasy epic entirely composed of events and characters based off all the different aspects of my ongoing depression. I'll get to writing what will probably be an absolutely horrible first draft of it as soon as I can get this old type-writer fixed.

And the rest of y'all?
That sounds neat.

I like to think of it as Zelda stripped of all its childlike innocence and made extremely dark and depressing.
Dark and depressing is where it's at. When I write, I always have a problem not killing off all my characters in the 1st chapter.

I like light-hearted and childish, but I'm not good at that. That's not to say I'm good at writing dark and serious because I'm not good at anything hahaha depression is funny I seem to be more comfortable or familiar with dark, creepy things.

I couldn't write light-hearted if my life depended on it, and I wouldn't really want to anyways. I've always been more familiar with those things too. Most of the little sissy kids I was in 1st grade with were afraid of me because I always drew gory and graphic pictures.

I wasn't really weird or freakish from the start, even if my mom saw that I had Asperger's from the beginning, but that only means I was a quiet and asocial kind of kid. Then adolescence happened and I was drawn toward themes that typically make for dark and bleak subject matter.

I write all these ideas in my note book about people overcomig their problems, and yet I can't solve my own. Maybe I write about horrible lives that get better because mine hasn't.

They call me the life of the party where I'm from.

So what does chapter 2 consist of? O_O

I usually end up rewriting chapter 1 until I have the will to leave a few living creatures. Sometimes I have to introduce a whole other batch each chapter. I have pent up rage.

I can appreciate the little things, but the disappointments are big enough to blot them out.

Disappointments? Pfft they are just little setbacks.

I'm just an optimistic calm or perky person
