I don't know what's worse:
(a) Being a single person while all of your friends leave you to go do their couple-y Valentine's Day plans,
OR
(b) Having a significant other during Valentine's Day, but not being able to spend time with them because they live on the other side of the country, while all your friends go off to do their couple-y Valentine's Day plans.
I'm pretty sure Option B is worse. Boo. :(
On the other hand, I've gotten a lot of fic written this weekend. Not as much as I would have liked to (I didn't finish Matriarchy this weekend, for instance... but that's because it GREW A PLOT WHEN I WASN'T LOOKING, OMG), but still enough that even *looking* at a Word document makes me tired.
I write very, very slowly. It's sort of frustrating, and I keep thinking it will improve with time, but it really doesn't. My process is just very, very slow. I consistently write about 100-200 words per hour. (!!!) Sometimes 300-600 if I'm really on a roll. It sort of amazes me that I manage to get as much fic out there as I do... I try not to think about it. -_-;;
Time to go read The Communist Manifesto for class tomorrow. Happy Valentines Day to me... :/
