enamouredI really want to do something creative-ish besides write lately. I've been writing a lot more recently, but I want to do something else, like make icons or collage or something. (Speaking of icons: Icon Makers' Favorite Icons Meme! I posted 15 of my favorites, and it's up to you to tell me what you think about them, whee)
Speaking of writing: I don't know if I mentioned this, but I sent a short story in for the Seventeen fiction contest a few weeks ago. I wrote it this summer, and spent a few months away from it, then did manic, obsessive editing and rewriting and word-cutting until it was down to exactly 2000 words, with the title included. I'm now in that "oh God, why did I DO that stage?!" and wondering why I even tried entering. Arrr.
And finally: if you pray, could you pray for my paternal grandmother? She's been sick for a while now, and she's not getting much better, and we're all kind of nervous about it. And I'm scared as hell because my dad's a wreck, but he won't let us see that, and I can't stand to see my dad cry, even though I know he's human and it's his mom, for God's sake.
