Scarecrows

I've been really getting back into creative writing recently. My gf and I have been watching tons of classic movies including The Shootist, Robocop, and Nightmare on Elm Street. I've also been reading Stephen King's The Shining and doing daily writing prompts to improve my writing. I used to struggle to get like 200 words in a page and now I getting at least three times that in a day so I'm really excited. I've been doing an artistic meditation on scarecrows all week and am going to write a flash fiction on them today.

I finished one ending of Doki Doki Literature Club yesterday and I've been playing lots of the Dead Space remake. DDLC wasn't as interesting as I thought it'd be. I loved the characters and thought a lot of the visual stuff was well executed, but its hard to see it as groundbreaking. Maybe I'm too well versed in spoopy. I still think its a worthwhile experience and recommend it for people into horror.

Now for crap updates. I'm trying to schedule bottom surgery but it looks like its gonna ruin me financially even with insurance. I'm really depressed about it and don't know what to do. I'm going to try because I know that I at least have to do that, but I'm not very hopeful. I hate living in a society that hates me. Also, I'm supposed to write my thesis proposal by the end of the summer. I haven't started yet. :V
