Stress

I’ve been in the weirdest state lately. I think I’ve reached a point where I’m so stressed that I don’t even think I’m stressed. I know that sounds stupid, but I think it’s like I’m building an immunity to stress or something. If I’m being honest, I think it’s because of my extracurricular activities combined with my classes. I’m worried about ensemble because I don’t really have time to practice my trombone, so I just continue to get worse at it. Any time I do have, I dedicate it to getting Malone’s packets done because if I don’t, they’ll never be completed. Last week, I was so dead to the world because of deadlines for literary and from working on the history packets, that I lost all motivation I had to work on my short fiction assignment. But as a little spark of positivity, the first draft will be so bad that the second draft will look like a masterpiece. I have the basic plot set up for it, but I just don’t have the time to really dig into it like I want to. If I ever find downtime, I’ll try to work on it then and continue to improve it. I know it would be a good story (and I’m not tooting my own horn here), but it would only be good if I can manage to work on it.  

Also, to deal with this stress, I’m currently listening to “Colourblind” by Hands Like Houses on repeat. It’s a great song that just makes me so flipping happy. Maybe it’ll motivate me to get stuff done. I recommend that everyone listen to the song.

The girl from D'Iberville is a really dull girl. She locks herself up in her room, content to spend her time reading and occasionally writing. She loves to read little YA romances and sometimes finds herself with books about history. The main thing motivating her writing is her overactive imagination and the strange dreams that plague her sleep. Her works also stem from what she has heard from music, conversations, or when half asleep. Crazed killers, haunted mirrors, and murderous siblings seem to be part of her stories in some way, but they always start off in her dreams. She started writing when she was in middle school, but had been telling stories since she was little. View all posts by Morgan Crosby
