Went out to dinner at Olive Garden. Mmm, Chicken Parm. I'm ever more tempted to try to get an LJ account and synch up my daily file with it or something. Working on prtsye stuff a lot today. I have a silly little parable-like story written, which I think will be helpful in providing meat for bootstrapping vocabulary creation. The style is sort of simple grammatically, but not trivial. Arg, writing fiction is hard, though. I feel like the size of my reading vocabulary -- the set of words I'd probably -understand- if I saw them in context -- is little help when it comes to trying to -write- significant amounts of text without sounding repetitive and/or ridiculously trite at every turn. I probably should show up to SFF or whatever it's called but I'd find it really hard to be willing to show anyone such crap. I mean, get over self-esteem issues. Yeah, that. Mood: Productive Music: Cake, "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" On LJ yet: Oh, shit, no. Going insane: Probably.
