Nov. 5th, 2014 01:20 pmThe forks model of disability.
You know how spoons are 'doing X thing costs Y spoons'? Forks are 'doing X thing costs Y forks up front but gains you Z forks on completion'. Basically. And this makes so much more sense in context of my lived experience.
Which I still like mage power metaphors better than kitchen utensil metaphors, but.
And I seem to be experiencing a shortage of MP. I'm sure I have plenty to spend the next hour and a half crocheting another coaster or two, or expanding upon one of my larger yarn projects, and still have enough to get to and from work and do all the work in between. But I have homework to do and NaNo to write. I think I have a solid idea that I can actually make words on now, but it requires rewatching an episode approximately every two thousand words; this is not a downside, it's just time-consuming. And I don't seem to have the MP to get going on either the homework or the watch-and-write. Which is a damned shame because once I get going I'm pretty sure (because like I said, forks model of disability fits my experience really well) I'll have the MP to keep going till I'm done or it's time for work.
