Dude, I literally had no idea what I was doing with referencing even at the very end of my first year...I was always like, "OMG DEPARTMENT GIVE ME GUIDELINES!"

I'm going to have to get better at referencing this year, since I'm switching over into law school and I've heard they're a bit tougher about these things.

I made it through my law degree without ever learning to reference. :tongue

I've cleaned the kitchen, taken out the trash, eaten breakfast, done my homework....

All before 9 in the morning.

*puts on a top hat*

Who wants to write?

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeee

After I finish watching the last twenty minutes of S2E3 of Sherlock. I knew it would be brilliant, and I was not disappointed.

I want to write. An epic session to hit 20K is what I really want to do...

BUT I HAVE A STUPID 3K ESSAY TO DO. D:

An essay is writing.

Articulating and explaining a point about something clearly is overwhelmingly useful in prose.

Especially in fight scenes!

Sometimes, life is boring.

Like when you're stuck on a cruise and your only entertainment options are to drink yourself into a stupor or throw yourself overboard!

Thanks, Zoom!

I'm just worried that when I get to it, I won't know where I am or what I'm doing. I'm like that with my other unfinished WIPs.

Well, when I have to take a break on a WIP, I just re-read what I've already written. That's usually enough to jog the mind.

Also, 667 words!

Then you re-write them to better suit your vision!

Also, I'm endlessly amused by this: I'm writing The Tale of Kes the Twistcatcher. It's 40,000 years into the future, and she's on a SPACESHIP traveling through a massive interstellar empire that spans a billion worlds and ten thousand years of recorded, uninterrupted history.

...and what is the most common form of death on said spaceship?

SCURVY AND DYSENTERY!

LOL. I love it when you have something set in the future combined with something "historical". :D

Dinner soon.

Yay!

Now, I'm insane. I'm writing a Warhammer 40,000 story. This is a universe of warfare, darkness and bleakness.

...and I've put in a love triangle.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!?

Because love triangles are fun! That is, if there's some purpose other than to belabor the obvious.
