bloodygranuaileHm, title prompt. Having a bit of trouble coming up with something at the moment, since my brain's been working in French all day. I have a half-hour Powerpoint/oral presentation on Monday, on immigration from the French Antilles to France since the sixties. Started it this morning. Had to cancel my plans for the evening but somehow managed to bang out the entire first draft tonight. Tomorrow, will see if I can actually present it so it fits all the requirements. You know you're busy when your "study break" is to try and do the homework for a different class.
Frankly, I don't feel all that stressed or upset, for once. Partly because I'm not feeling so sick anymore. Partly because I seem to have emotionally let go of my friends a little, and it no longer upsets me that I'm not seeing them. I wouldn't be good company these days, anyway. I just feel bad for my hausmates; they still have to see me and listen to me bitch when things are loud and dirty.
I do not like being stuck for writing. At all. I know something will come if I let things bounce off each other in my brain enough, but the time before I actually hit on something is always frustrating. There's an impatient part of my brain that goes "You say you're a writer, WRITE SOMETHING already!" and a paranoid part that's afraid I won't come up with something this time.
I may have to allow myself an episode of Battlestar Galactica or something and then sleep on it. Most of my better story ideas have come to me while I'm trying to sleep and can't.
