THIS is what happens when a side character talks to a side character who creates another character in passing and that character becomes a main character.

Sometimes I wonder if writing activates some amount of schizophrenia.

This storyline is a side characters storyline. Just something I threw together to help give deeper understanding of my main story. And this moment is a b story in said side characters side story. THEN a side character in the side characters b story merely mentions the existence of another character.

That character has become the most compelling part of my book now.

I am not in control

@Dbot I'm glad it got better. Its a weird place to be sometimes. Not sad, not mad, not happy. Just a big nothing.

I guess my reverse seasonal depression is kicking in. I will be going back to work in a few weeks, and its a weird thing to hate that the weather is getting nicer, but this is a sign that soon I will be cooking in a truck 14 hours a day breathing diesel smoke and dealing with shitty attitudes.

Cant I just grow mushrooms and write books instead? If I kick my feet and cry, will it all just go away?

@nopuppet_007 as if from one mind, they all sang out in a banal chorus, a melancholic symphony, the song of universal gloom, "fuck it"

I should clarify that "fuck it" should be interpreted with a melancholy tone, not an enthusiastic, or salacious tone. Apologize for any confusion.

I'm in a place where I don't have anything to say anymore. Maybe I'm tired, or depressed. I want to communicate, but am met with a deep feeling of "fuck it"

Only 2 weeks before I hang up my writer cap and go back to pouring asphault on ground until I get heat stroke. So fun.

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN agreed. Its also good to remember that most of them don't represent 'us'. Not that we cant demand better of them, just the same, but they were put there by people who rewarded them for their bad behavior right from the beginning.

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN as family members get older I think we should have 'parental controls' so we can keep them from conspiracy news sites and facebook.

@leturos these are questions no one asks, but keeps looking at the clock thats set one hour off on their stove for 4 months and says "I need to google how to change that" every single time.

@leturos I never learned the difference. We're either saving daylight, or saving sleep. All lies from BIG CLOCK to make you buy more clocks.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but daylight savings time fucking blows.
