Evil/whiney alter ego of @thelindsayellis. Whines about writing to live, lives to whine about writing. Sometimes say nice things. But mostly whine.

Heyyy, it's the weekend, that means it's suffering time. Tell me something terrible about Facebook so I'll get off it and do stuff.

"How are you feeling about the overall direction of the revision?" WHY WOULD YOU ASK ME THAT AHHHHH

Apple Pages declares: "299 changes and comments." Christ. And this is only the first quarter of the goddamn thing.

I'm working. This is me working. Adulting. Self-motivating. Synergy. #synergy

If Tyrion is the god of tits and wine, I am the goddess of frowns, impotence and whine. I shall build a shrine to myself.

Overwhelmed by amount of work what needs getting done and incredibly small amount of time to do it. Solution? Fart around on facebook/tumblr

I feel like it's a modest goal to not utterly hate your work, though I'm still at about a 30% "twinge with hateful loathing" rate.

[L BeaconOfPositivity @writerstears]

Powering up the old whiney hate machine... uuuugh today is gonna suuuuuuuuck
