Migraines, writing, and a game

[notcrazy_honest]

This is the worst migraine I've had in a year, at least. I realized it would be helpful if I could track these more accurately, and- hey, there are now decent apps for it. So I got a highly rated one and marked off symptoms and tried to think of better terms to use, and that made me feel a little less helpless. The really annoying thing is that

Whoa, there are apps for everything! XD

I experience the opposite with writing sometimes, when I can do fiction, but non-fiction eludes me. I'm going through a bit of that right now, when sentences get harder to form, but only in non-fiction comments and stuff; fiction is still fine. I've also had it the other way around, but not as frequently. It's very weird. I've noticed it's related to my T injection cycle, but I don't really know why it actually happens. /o\ Does it affect things like story planning/outlining as well for you? Sometimes when I find fiction hard, I can still do more objective planning of the plot, so that I have some kind of framework of what's going to happen for when I do the actual writing, and it makes that later process easier

Yeah, I think it could be a big-picture thing, or to do with systematic/analytical thinking rather than the more empathetic/emotional kind that's required for getting into characters' heads. And even if they turn out to be junk, it's still getting ideas out there, and maybe bits of them could later be used for different things. :D

"And GLaDOS is just there to insult everyone."

it's so beautiful. :') Has there been any mention of cake?

[notcrazy_honest]

That sounds right to me. And yeah, that's true. :) It's a good perspective.

Hee. No cake so far, although they might be saving up for later. I will tell you if it shows up! There has, however, been mentions of a party (that they're having without you, once you lose, of course), and then there's stuff like this.

Brock: [after losing all his money] Wow. I...uh, I really didn't expect that.
GLaDOS: I did. But I didn't say anything because I wanted it to be a surprise. [confetti falls from the ceiling] Surprise.
Brock: [looks up at the confetti, annoyed]

I was gonna ask if a co-writer might help, and you could plot and they could do the filling in part, but I see anivad sorta covers that idea.

I hope the migraine gets better soon. :(
