    Darkness

    I've written a villain for this entire day and getting into his history, parents, relationships, loves, abuses, and memories has been damn intense. I think it is time to go crawl into someone else's head for a wee bit.

    Medicine Frustration

    Please do get a medical alert, being deathly allergic is a scary place to be! They can be bought online fairly cheaply. I've been wearing my stainless steel one since age 14. It is too big for my wrist so I just wear it fastened around my ankle. I may get the tattoo at some point as well...

    I've been allergic to benzo's (and Ativan) since childhood, and wear a medical alert anklet for them. When I was pregnant with my son I went into preterm labor, and was in the hospital. My husband says that they gave me Ambien and I dropped like a rock and my blood pressure plummeted, they...

    Darkness

    Last night my husband and went on a dinner date and shared our story ideas. It turns out that he has a list of some really good horror concepts that he'll be making into comic stories! I shared where I'm at on mine, and had a colorist for me to look at. We pretty much ended up as giddy as...

    https://litemind.com/mental-sanctuary/ I like the addition of many rooms in this. My safe places always had hidden sleeping spaces, then big sunshine filled rooms for doing artwork. My safe place in the beginning could only be reached with a boat as it was a tiny island, then later it was a...

    Childhood Childish

    I'm thinking of getting some play-doh or another soft dough to mold and sculpt during times like these when my hands can't do detailed or fine work! Does anyone else have positive associations with play-doh? I really like the smell of it and always did as a kid too. :happy:
