^My life on alcohol was a disaster. I look back to many times I did stupid crap and wonder how on Earth I survived. Once I was run over by an ATV while partying because I was too drunk to realize that I was standing in the way and no one else got to me in time. So glad those years are over for me!

Currently dealing with a minor attack of My Writing Is Crap Disorder...
Guess it happens to everyone.

Sounds like me from time to time. I think my problem stems from being a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my writing. Perhaps the same with you.
I constantly have to tell myself "the first draft of anything is shit." To get through it, and of course, try not to be so hard on myself.

Just don't let it turn into my Writing is Crap and I should quit disorder. That ish is fatal.

I maintain that if anybody actually tells you that you write like a 5-year-old, they deserve a smack in the mouth, 'cause it ain't true. ^^

I almost just spit out my coffee reading this.But what if the POV is that if a 5 year old.

Just got an update from my friend Emily (the one who was hit by a car), and the dirtbag who hit her has to pay her whole medical bill. WOOHOO!

One thing I have always wondered is why many (if not most) colleges or universities force you to take classes you won't need in your given field?
"I want to be a writer!"
"Okay, here's your trigonometry class!"

Allegedly it's to make you "well rounded."

If I may ask. What are you studying? I can't think of any study with trigonometry which someone would attend to become a writer of fiction.

Nothing at the moment, just an observation how many universities and colleges attach classes to your class roster that don't really fit with your area of expertise... with what you are studying.
Like the hypothetical person taking creative writing or something similar and getting told he has to take math classes.

Perhaps... but I am of the opinion they do it only so they can "pad" the schedules so they can make more money... sad really.

Maybe sometimes. But when I was in college they made us take a ton of required courses . . . and they were also 3 credits each when they could've been 4 without anyone batting an eye. I looked at the school's rubric for the difference between a 3 credit and 4 credit, and they fit the definition of the latter. They were only 3 credits because that's the only way they could fit them all into a student's schedule.
That was just the program I took, though. I'm sure many others are fudging it the other way.
That's great!
I am so highly annoyed with Scrivener.

It'll make your writing process easier, they said. Your books will look professional, they said. Well, **** it. I can't even get the damn thing to work with me. All of the damn tutorials out there are for Mac and I have pc. So...what then?!?!?!! This is seriously the most irritating, stupid, ****ed up learning curve of ALL time.

Ughhhhhhh. I really wish OneNote would work properly for once. Because a huge chunk of my day is spent on the go/without computer access, I write the majority of my plot notes and worldbuilding stuff on my phone.
Well, OneNote just decided to screw me over and disable editing on my main worldbuilding file. Great. It's done this before, but this time it's also quitting the app without syncing to OneDrive. So when I open the app back up, there are huge gaps in my notes where it didn't save before quitting. I can transfer the notes in that file to the main project folder on my laptop and resume notewriting with a new file, but I kind of depend on having the notes there for reference.
Ughhhhhhhh.
Overall I just really, really hate OneNote right now.
