Confusednconfusing - That Intern You Regret Hiring

A terrible habit i've picked up on is complementing advice.

I love advice, and when its good and relevant and in a format I can understand well, I genuinely appreciate and encourage it.

So in response, i'll be like, "that's a good one" or "ooh i wouldn't have thought of that", etc. and idk where the line when it starts to sound more condescending than grateful is???

It doesn't help that i have this tone of voice that i have been told multiple times sounds 'permanently sarcastic', which is a whole other can of worms...

I guess accepting advice this is just one of those skills i have to put conscious effort into improving whenever the opportunity arises, until one day it'll just become part of my good communication repertoire! Excited for that :)

Stayed Gone

so basically Vox sang a song welcoming Alastor back? Like nobody cared/knew that he had returned Except for Vox who broadcasted the announcement which is like the equivalent of throwing a welcome parade.

This is why I keep a notebook beside my bed. The issue is that then that idea remains in the notebook until I accidentally re-discover it weeks later. And by then I’m just ‘not feeling it anymore’. One time I actually gave in, sat up and wrote all night. It was glorious.

Me when I hit that Creative high at 1.00 am in the morning and come up with the greatest story ever conceived...

And then... by the time I wake up... I've FORGOTTEN ALL OF IT.
