Writer's Block: Double vision

[Error: unknown template qotd]

My first thought was that I'd like my double to be less depressed, more functional, and more successful, but then I kinda realized that would make me in this universe kinda more miserable and resentful. So I'm opting for the other direction - I'd like the parallel universe me to kinda be the worst of the worst so I know what I could end up being like and you know, not go there.

Incidentally, there was a Neil Gaiman story that covers this, about a wedding present given to a couple that details what happens to them in a parallel universe. Always kinda made me think.

Today is an errand, cleaning, and pretend to be a functional adult sort of day. Also a "be kind to my digestion" sort, seeing as I'm still having post-travel/pax excitement issues. May be a toast and water sort of day, you know?

A main goal for this week is to do some creative stuff. I have to either do some writing, design some D&D terrain, or finish/plan my next beading project. I'm not going to aspire to all three, but that would be nice.

It's a total confidence booster to see someone else (even if it IS technically you) fucking up worse than you are, so I agree with you there. I'd do the same.

I didn't know that you did D&D! That's how Daniel and I met. :)

It's a recent thing - I only started in December after years of avoiding it after several bad experiences with it in high school. I'm rather loving 4th ed, though.

Goatee. Heroin addiction. Massively evil.

What's the title of the Gaiman story? I don't recall that one.
