No real spoilers, just my reaction.

Which is demonstrated by the following facts.
1) I can't write long hand. Seriously, it drives me absolutely fucking batshit. I hate it. I hate that I can't gauge how many pages I've written (that is, type written). It's hard to explain why I hate it so much--I just don't do well when I write long hand.It's hard for me to keep focused. I need to type when I write.
2) Free writing? You know the thing all the good writing books tell you to do? Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate it. God. I hate it. I always have. Sorry, but having a teacher or professor telling me to write "whatever I want" is not exciting, because I write whatever the fuck I want to anyway. I don't like writing without a point, or without a destination. Even if I don't know what the destination always is, I have a point. "But it's so liberating!" I'm liberated, really.
3) She actually suggested that I...it's so awful...but that I write a chapter, and god help me, delete it. That's just...distasteful. Delete it? DELETE IT?! GAHHHHHHHHH! Why don't you just tell me to shoot somebody?
There's more. Like my favorite part of writing? The very best thing? I get to be the boss of the book. Also, when I want to change my plans, I can't do it without justification, so I blame Spike. I know people have heard me say that Spike fucks all my plans...well he does! He never cooperates at all! It's not my fault. *ahem*
My point is not to bitch and moan though. I mean, I like what I've got going for me, but if I didn't want to branch out and expand, I wouldn't have taken creative writing to begin with. A challenge is good, right? Right. It's just...I never really thought I was a control freak. My boss told me to ask Jaime what he thought and well...he'll probably confirm that I do, indeed, have control issues.
You know, if everybody just did and said what I told them too, I wouldn't have any issues. Just saying is all... ;)

I missed it the first time, in high school. Slept through the whole thing, including the birth at the end. Probably because I had stayed up until all hours the night before having sex, I don't remember.
I'm really, really sorry I didn't sleep through it the second time.
I'm never having kids.
