Others in their memoirs: "And so I learned...and improved myself by..."
Me: I was huge dumb and I despise my past self. I'd end them if I could. Please someone put an end to them and redo their story so I don't need to write this memoir and remember my stupidity, I beg you. Yes, I'm implying this in all 5 pages of my narration.

Submitted it. I fear for whatever they will say but then again usually no one understands my use of language unless I explain it so.
I have decided I am not going to continue to write the memoir today. I am Done. I have 4 more days to write it and even though it WILL be a pain and I NEED to work when I need to, doing it more now will increase my self-loathing and self-hatred to an, uh, unhealthy point.
So! Writing time? Drawing time?
I was thinking about ToF and AgK! before but honestly rn I'm kinda drained. And I have more school tomorrow. While I have an ok amount of planning for both (I obviously use more effort for AgK!, ToF is like my little place for my OCs to be smushed together and have to interact and with cool power names and such that evade me),,, it's not enough.
I mean, it might be nice, idk.
I don't feel like doing Scribble September rn. It's like needing to do a prompt for school and then doing a prompt for here? Nah.
Galaxian being lazy nearing midnight lol.
Yeah, I think I'll just go to bed as early as I can tonight. Get some sleep, and then tomorrow...freak out, I guess, over homework and the memoir, and also the book report :').
Speaking of which I should probably read, huh. I'm like 1/3 through but the report,,, I haven't written a report in 4 years hahaha--
idk. I'll do whatever.
I just want to stop being so tense and get my stuff done, y'know?

Hey, it's great that you submitted it! I relate to the doing only one draft and it's final thing xD which honestly can be a real drawback when you're asked to do firsts drafts and all that stuff asdfjgjgkkkgj
If you're feeling drained, then do get some rest! Try to drink water or warm milk or something. Tomorrow's a new day and you can greet it with replenished strength! :D

GalaxianExplosion · 9/23/2020 1:07 pm

Isn't it great how the 5 pages max limit is imposed 2 days before the due date (today's Wednesday I think)
Ok but how does one have the skill to write a good memoir within ~2.5 single-spaced pages. I don't get it.
Imo 2.5 single-spaced pages is like enough to state it but geez the dialogue takes up so much space.
I'm ready to see my 100 in English just drop lmiao

Once again I'm too used to loose restrictions.

GalaxianExplosion · 9/25/2020 9:54 pm

I've talked about the memoir a lot but xD it's almost finished. Would anyone like to see small excerpts? ~~Say no before I post regardless of whether anyone says yes lmiao~~

That's awesome! Hopefully all of your work pays off :3
It's up to you if you post it or not >:3

GalaxianExplosion · 9/26/2020 2:00 am

Submitted it.
I look forward to doing all the work I have put off in the weekend

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · 9/26/2020 2:08 am

Meanwhile, what should I do to continue delaying both work and sleep?
idk, drawing inspiration is always high at midnight for whatever darn reason.
Maybe I should read.
Then again I also want to write. Why.

Interpreting that as a "please don't" xDD

^^ Agreed with Specter; it's up to you whether you want to post it!

GalaxianExplosion · 9/29/2020 2:55 pm

The verdict is out and it's no xD, thanks for the freedom of choice given to me, you two

-Galaxian-

autumnlibrarian16 · 9/29/2020 6:14 pm

That's a valid decision! and no problem; it's your writing (and presumably rather personal since it's a memoir), so it's only natural to give you the choice of whether you want to post it here

GalaxianExplosion · 9/29/2020 6:43 pm

It's not really the fact it's personal as just the fact I don't want to remember how badly I wrote it xD. I'm kinda dreading the grade but hopefully I don't drag my entire grade down the drain.

GalaxianExplosion · 10/03/2020 2:37 am

No one asked for this but I'm tossing this here because...I dunno, it might be some sort of inspiration?
So, today there was a blood moon because of all the smoke in the air. I usually am really excited when the moon turns to a color that isn't silver, but for some reason, today I just felt...well, I don't know. I was looking at the moon and then I just felt a small but existent fear.
My mom noticed me just looking weird, and I'm not sure why I said this, but I said quietly, "That sliver of the red moon looks like someone's bloodied hand breaking through the clouds, reminding us we as humans have wronged and that our end will come sooner than we think."
My mom laughed, went downstairs, and did not look at the moon again

I say I'ma write the AgK! AU but when I ask my mind "What'll we do on break?" my mind goes: "Draw!"
I say, "And?" and it says, "Draw!"
I say, "And?" again, and it says, "Sleep! And eat!"

Guess who's here to rant about a school-related project again!
Okay, hopefully it's not so much a rant as just a talk.
So, Biology has this book report that's due tonight at 23:59. The problems are...well, let's start with the requirements.
-Within 2000 to 5000 words.
-It's a summary.
-Within 2-3 pages. No more, no less.

Here are the actual problems:
-Why is a summary so long? 2,000 words?
-Averaged that'd be about 666 words per page (for 3 pages and the minimum 2000 words), and it just doesn't fit???

-Galaxian-

SpecterTheGreat · 10/05/2020 7:14 pm

Can you make the font size smaller, or do you have a standard to follow?

GalaxianExplosion · 10/05/2020 7:16 pm

There's a standard for academics--Times New Roman (or just a typical font), 12pt, double-spaced, standard margins.
Rn I have it 1.5 spaced and dang

-Galaxian-

SpecterTheGreat · 10/05/2020 7:27 pm

Ah geez the double space.
That's what my mom makes me use too but I do 1.5 space.

Maybe your best bet then is to use small words to increase the word count? XD

GalaxianExplosion · 10/05/2020 7:45 pm

You can't use small words or you'll be accused of not actually reading the book xD

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · 10/06/2020 12:23 pm

Got 80/80 on that book report uwu
Honestly my grades encourage me to be lazy lol it's probably not good

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · 10/13/2020 11:42 am

I really did want to go to bed early but ended up going at like 2 A.M. because of writing
On one end I am full of regrets, but I haven't done that in a long time and take it as a good thing in terms of writing.
Rn there's like 5% quality to my writing lol. It's evolving with my art, hopefully.

-Galaxian-

SpecterTheGreat · 10/13/2020 11:53 am

Let it evolve!!!
