...if I didn't read so much fanfiction. It's like people crawl into my head, eat the parts of my brain devoted to ideas, and put them down on paper.

Or my head is full of cliches. Tasty well-written cliches which they get to before I do.

...

I don't know, okay? I was up all night and an old man yelled at me at work. I'm not feeling like myself.

EDIT: Cliche is a bad, loaded word. Tropes? Nah.

Nothing makes me feel more like a Real Damn Writer than transferring stuff from my notebooks to my computer, even if nothing's going to come of them.
