I wish BBB wasn't being such a bitch :\

on the + side, I've gotten snippets of a couple different origfics started for a few different universes, some I didn't expect. I'm not trying to finish anything, just writing whatever I come up with instead of obsessing over it forever until I don't feel like writing it anymore. I might share some, might not. I'm trying to hone my craft~, y'know. People tell me they like my writing, but I always feel like it's a mess or simplistic or something. I feel like it should be better, but I don't know what I can do to fix it. Writing more just makes me write more, it doesn't change how I write. Oh well, we'll see

the big - is that I found a PAID editorial internship at a publishing company in my area AND I just so happened to have an in with one of the VPs of the company (his daughter was in my sister's girl scout troupe, he and my dad are casual buddies) so I applied and then sent him my resume with a ":) :) halp :)" and he said I looked v. qualified and like I'd fit in well, and that he'd pass me on to the right people...and then e-mailed me again to let me know that he found out they weren't going to be hiring an intern because of the recession. of course, when something is perfect for me, it falls through. (the zoo doesn't want me either, btw) :(

Writing more just makes me write more, it doesn't change how I write.

That's exactly how I feel about it! I feel like my writing just IS and doesn't really evolve much. :/

I'm sorry about the internship, bb. That totally sucks. *hugs*

And when I actually try to change your writing it just doesn't sound like me anymore :(

*hugs* Thanks, I'm working with a temp agency too, so hopefully they'll find something for me

LOL. I JUST RANTED ABOUT INTERNSHIP WOE IN MY LJ!

But... yes. It is the suck pretty much. JP what should we doooo? We need internships!
I'm so sorry your possible internship fell through. You seem to be having shit luck lately. (Except for Rent tickets for le cheap!)
Why is the internship god taking big smelly dumps all over us?

WOE ABOUNDS D:

I don't knowww Haitlin-san, I was hoping the Rent tickets were my sign that stuff was going to start working out, but. Alas :(

They hate us. I'm trying to believe that they just have extra super special internships that they're just holding onto until the last minute to surprise us, but I don't want to be disappointed again

things are tough all over. i say, try to stay positive and apply/send resumes to all sorts of places. sooner or later, someone's gotta see what an asset you'd make for them, and hire you on. :0)

Hope so! I'm working with a temp agency, and they seem hopeful they could find somewhere for me since my computer skills are so pimping :)

i will keep my fingers crossed for you. :0D

I always feel like my writing is terrible. It's repetative and uninteresting. So I get it, just try to remember it usually reads better for other people :)

Ugh. The recession is such a bitch >:( I hope something works out for you soon bb.

Thanks <3 Just one of those things I have to come to grips with I guess

It sucks D:

Your writing is really amazing bb, honest. ♥

Stupid recession D: I guess maybe next time they hire you'll be at the top of the list? Thats something. :/ Hang in there, something will pop up, even if its not first choice!

It is most disappointing :\ I'm just kind of hoping for anything

This rescission sucks. I'm sorry, that's so lame.

Look back at your old stuff. At least, this is true for me--I don't feel like I'm getting better, but the more I look back on what I have written, the more I realize what I'm writing now is better than it was.
