MJ, you are my favorite.

make a text post, lose followers.
Like, I don’t mind. But just so you know, there are tumblr add-ons that allow you to “block” text posts on your dash, so you get to only see the pictures, if that’s what you want to have on you dash. There are also add-ons that allow you to see one type of post at a time, like only pictures, or only texts, or only audio etc.

So I was stuck in my story (fic), kinda stumped and exhausted of dealing with all the angsty, confusing teenage feelings my characters were going through (they have a lot of feelings poor babies). So I decided to draft out a sort of idea for another fic I had that involved a post-apocalyptic world. With dragons. And shotguns loaded with magical bullets. And then I realized that I liked writing it...

Anonymous asked: How have you managed to hold so many jobs? The art gallery and the boat dock both sound incredible! Also, you've mentioned before that you dislike teaching (I don't remember it's just the teaching or if you dislike children as well). I was just wondering what is the reason for that? There's no problem with it of course. You just seem like the type to me who would enjoy children...

Daydreaming about going back to uni to study Creative Writing. Then thinking that no no no, I can figure it out on my own without spending thousands of dollars again, right? RIGHT? I’ve been out of uni long enough to start romanticizing it again. Ain’t that nice?
Also: I has wine and it is good.
