AWKWARD ZOMBIE

No, writing well on the first try is hard.

Writing anything in general is easy. Just write it with no regard for how it turns out (I imagine you're talking about a story), then once you get to a stopping point, go back, read through it, keep tabs on what you notice, and then go and rewrite it with the changes you want (I personally find rewriting to be more effective than just highlight/insert editing.) After that, find someone you trust to give you proper criticism, have them suggest a few things that they think would be even better if you changed it, or what they would like to see you expand on, and go from there.

If your problem is that you really feel like writing, but you don't know what about, ask for a prompt, find some music or something that gets an image, maybe a line of dialogue in your head, and just start writing down descriptions of what you see. You'll probably eventually come up with a series of events that occur in that scene, and hey, you just wrote a short story.

Bouncing off what Riku is saying, I'm currently helming a pipedream of a 68 (or 84 because I am a masochist) book long fantasy series that is ~90% "fleshed out" in the planning stage.

It's the culmination of about 15 years of work, drawing inspiration from stories I used to write in grade school about people fighting aliens on other planets and other weird things I was into, like, TV shows and video games. Each story I wrote made me a better writer and even though the stories I've written, planned, and many of which scrapped could have easily filled triple what I'm currently pop flyin' with in my planning, the editing is what brought me to this pop flyin' conclusion. All of them, even the stupid shit I wrote on forum RPs, or did for school creative writing projects, or when I was fleshing out some weird TCG anime thing with a fully functioning card game component (All before Yugioh too, auuuugh), in some way contributed to the project I'm currently working on and hoping to one day be able to actually make into a tangible thing.

Writing doesn't have to go a certain direction, even if you're working on a project you are excited about. I have side projects that are still churning out ideas, and though I will probably never work on them to completion, working on them is fun and rewarding and can get me out of whatever mental block I have on my writing by giving me new ideas. Walking around in the rain in Japan with am umbrella, for instance, gave me an idea for how to flesh out a character that I was having trouble finding "compelling" in her own right. And after I worked on her for a side project, I found she fit in one of the open slots in my main story much better.

Write for the sake of writing. Even if you have a project you're enthusiastic about, you cannot force yourself to write about it just because you sat down and said "this is my writing time to complete X".

Everyone gets blocks and gets frustrated with them. The important thing is to keep writing and keep working so at some point you have an idea worth following, even if it's not for the original project you're gunning for or if it takes your writing in a different direction. Just keep writing and worry about editing and trimming and how goofy something is afterwards.

Oh boy I sure do love playing phone tag with an employee scheduling my interview who is there to leave a message at 1:30 and gone by 2:00

I have to read a chapter of this psychology textbook every week and the first one was a chore. The first 20 pages or so were just an overly enthusiastic circlejerk (even for social sciences) with gross generalizations and exagerations and could be boiled down to "talking is communication".
It seriously contained the line "Some researchers believe communication is the very meaning of existence" and there goes my good will.

I don't really get Wireless computer mice.
Both wired and wireless still take up a USB slot, Wireless takes up batteries, making the wireless end up costing more than a wired one.
Game controllers I understand, but who has a mouse and keyboard so far away from their desktop/laptop they need wireless?
And wire tangles shouldn't really be a problem, it's only a mouse, it's not difficult to just unplug the USB and quickly untangle it should it happen. And really, unless you juggle it, it's not gonna be tangles that often.

I use a wireless mouse and keyboard. Mostly because I move shit around on my desk a lot and it'd be a pain to move wires, too. I have my Wii U wired up to one of my monitors, so when I play Splatoon or something I switch the input over to HDMI and just sit the keyboard and mouse to the side. Also nothing irritated me more growing up than having a wired mouse. I cannot deal with it being tethered. I have no idea why.

I act like a tusundre anime girl and I think my friend is annoyed by it and while it's all good and funny and cute, I wanna be a NORMAL teenage (or college/early 20's whatever) girl. I don't want my friend to be annoyed by me being that way. I don't want them to think I act like that to just get attention. I just want to try and be cool and have them like me.

This is probably one of the stupidest things to get irritated by, but it really bothers me when people just go full helpless the moment they have some kind of customer service being provided for them. Like, yeah, my job is to get all of your groceries rung up and facilitate the transaction and assist you if there is some kind of problem or actual difficulty.
But why, WHY, do people decide that they no longer have to do basic arithmetic, and just tell me "I want twenty over" as they write out their checks, and then stare at me after I have already told them the total three times, waiting for me to add their twenty dollars of change to it for them. How hard is it to add $20.00 to $14.73? It's already a pain that you are using a payment method that you know daisies well holds up the line while I go through the extra steps of waiting for verification and processing. Especially when it takes some of these people seven minutes to write everything into the check that they don't think to start filling out until after I have everything else done that I possibly can.
And to everyone who bitches every time I tell them that I cannot scan their beer or soda from the cart: If you are really so unhealthy that you can't lift it out of the cart for me to scan, you probably shouldn't be buying it. Shit, most people around here really shouldn't be buying as much as they do anyway, regardless of health or financial situation.

finally got my hands on an entire raccoon and my dumb booty didn't take care of it right and wasn't able to get a full pelt off of it :< everyone knows the most important part of a fur is the tail and i lost all but like three inches of it (as well as the legs but those aren't as important)

i know better than this, ugh

That is a very odd problem to have

the universe made up for it by letting me find the (damaged,) skull of a rabbit i thought i'd lost to scavengers last week

For some reason I can't comment on youtube videos because it tells me I'm not logged in to google+ even though I am.
How am I supposed to rant about politics and religion on videos that have nothing to do with either of those now?

Try logging out and back in.

I guess I won't be eating for today since my brother decided to eat both our shares of the food I bought. I ate some earlier, but was having a bit of a weak stomach, so it was essentially the entire box and half of the fried rice remaining. These boxes are pretty big, and he ate both of them in the span of 3 hours.

It doesn't help that the only thing I ate today was half that fried rice. >> We pretty much have nothing in the house to eat that won't induce vomiting in me.

Your brother won't shit for a while after that.
