Aug. 29th, 2015 02:35 pmHekate on mediocrity, per magickfromscratch.com
Excellence requires sacrifice, discomfort, hard work.
Sometimes it seems like the only thing I am able or willing to work hard at is my paycheck job. (Too hard. See also, typing-induced repetitive strain injury.) That's not how I want to live. But time constraints, and various disability stuffs, and and and. But that goes right back to the above link and pull quote, doesn't it? I am choosing mediocrity because excellence is too HAAARD.
I should know better than to shy away from things because they're too hard.

Aug. 29th, 2015 04:52 pmMy brain sucks. Permit me to demonstrate:
Brain: it hurts too much to type, guess you can't write today!
Me: tablet.
Brain: not practical for long stretches of writing!
Me: *writes six hundred words*
Brain: not novel words, nor even fiction words, therefore useless words!
Me: really?
Brain: well what do you plan to do with such a self-indulgent little essay?
Me: brain you are moving the goalposts SHUT UP.
