I've had better self esteem days then this, though dwelling on it isn't going to help much. It's hard to make myself write when I'm scared of the crap I might put down.

Also I tried to post another scene on Elfwood, but it got rejected because I wrote "S---." I'm well aware that everyone knows that's "shit." It's meant to be. I thought about it before I wrote it. The moderator had a snippy tone though and it made me mad. I just don't get this rule. Are they trying to pretend that swear words don't exist? They actually suggest if you want a swear to write "@#*%$!" Like a freaking cartoon. How censorous! I'm tempted to resubmit it and replace "S---" with "$#!7" Or something visually similar to the original word.

A weird thing happened to me, and I wish I could use it in a story. A little boy in one of my Mad Science classes went to the bathroom, and came back holding his prosthetic eye. "hey Flarin' Erin! I've got my eye on you! [giggles like a maniac]" It's a pretty good one. I always assumed he just had a lazy eye.
