You know you’re a writer when you edit your texts because the verb used was too weak and not specific enough.

Hey, is this still a thing?

You make some good points and may have saved a life. I had a character who I’d considered killing for drama, but I’m thinking I’ll keep her alive.
I would argue that sometimes shock value is a good reason to kill characters. For example, in KotLC the stakes are supposed to be so high, and the villains so evil, and yet all of the main characters are alive. I’m rolling my eyes at this point. Literally anyone could die and the series would improve.
I do have one character who is almost certainly doomed, but she was supposed to live. It just doesn’t make sense for her arc for her to survive.

 I’m choosing to take an extra year of classes by myself, a super senior year. But it’s optional and I’m doing it to choose specific interests and decide if I want to pursue them or not.
Makes sense. My dad wants me to go to a community college for a year when I graduate for the same reason.
Ah yes, practical life skills. Must be nice to possess those.

Maybe next year. I don’t really have anything ready to edit right now.

I used to do Saxon but I found it painfully dry. I do Life of Fred now. I still don’t like math, but I tolerate it now.
I’d also been asking God to give a heart for not grumbling about math…and I’m so thankful He has!
I should probably do that.

Sprinting at :40 on previously mentioned essay that I’m now rewriting. *sigh*

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.
Thank you! That quote is from Great is Thy Faithfulness. It’s one of my favorite hymns.
