Evil Revisions

Hello Citizens,

I'd love to say that I made brilliant headway in some wonderfully creative piece today, the last day of the Family Day long weekend, but the truth is I did not. I spent the better portion of the day doing revisions on my IB Extended Essay. The upper limit is 4,000 words and I had 4,301, so I had to pare down 301 words. I ended up with 3,998.

Revisions are the bane of my existence. I hate it worse than I hate French homework. Mind, I only hate revising my own stuff, if I have to do a beta for a friend, that's another story completely. But today... ugh.

I ended up playing 3 hours of Black Ops to calm myself down. I leveled up twice and finally got my greedy hands on the Spas-12. And I pimped out my Galil, so it's kinda awesome now, too. The servers were jam packed with trolls this evening, though, it was a less than enjoyable experience. Better than revisions.

I'm not quite tired yet, so I think I'm going to go and try to figure out some stuff for a work I'm trying to get started on Figment, the cover page has been sitting on a blank book for 2 months now, and I just have to get the damn story mapped out; I know everything about it, I just need to get a play-by-play worked out and then I can roll from there. At some point I'll post something about my pre-writing methods, such as they are.

I'm going back to school tomorrow, so I don't know how much creative stuff I'll get done tomorrow, but I'll let you know what comes up.

Tschüs!
