Sometimes You Need Dialogue Tags And Don't Want To Use The Same Four

I love liking my own posts and comments (on other social media) first. It makes me happy that right after I posted it, It already has someone who likes it, me! It just makes me smile so I keep doing it. I did stop doing it for a while, cuz I thought it was like selfish or weird, but I like doing it so I continued!

I knew I wouldn't get this done, but I was hoping to get at least one round of refinement done here before posting it for the event day but, alas, life and time and travel ate me.

Gotta catch those spiritual parasite fish noodlin' style!

the first day of my hand drafting class in my senior year of college, after the prof taught us how to frame up on the drafting table and went over how to use the tools we'd bought, he had us all take our pencils and make a mark on the top right corner of the vellum. then he walked us through the setup steps - the border, the title block, etc.

and he told us to erase the mark.

when someone - rosie, i think - asked what the mark was for he smiled.

"if you give a novice student an expensive, blank piece of paper, they panic. they think if i start using that i will ruin it. so the first thing i want all of you to do, any time you stare at a blank piece of paper, is to ruin it a little and take the pressure off yourself. pencil erases. anxiety has to be managed."

i hated that man for a myriad of reasons, but that was some of the best advice i've ever been given.

I used to wish I get injured because then my mom and dad would finally pay attention to me if I did, newsflash they wouldn't have

Me: You know how when you were a kid and you’d wish that you’d get sick or injured in a way that would justify why you didn’t live up to your potential?

Everybody, apparently: No?

I just watched the 1990 movie for the first time, so now I’m redrawing some scenes with the Rise boys!

That last line is hitting me in a very weird way. Sad, nostalgic maybe

Danny with the mindset of an immortal. Who goes to visit Clockwork for a long-weekend and doesn't realize until he comes back that it's been two weeks. Who stops to look at the stars for a moment and before he knows it it's time for school. Who says he's sixteen but if he's honest, he's spent so much time in the Realms, where time is less of a law and more of a suggestion, that he could be twenty, fifty, one hundred.

He still feels young. Even as everyone around him goes old and dies he still feels young.
