What would you say are the trademarks of my writing? What themes or quirks or turns of phrase have you noticed? What is it that makes a story/tag by me -- well, a story/tag by me?

And if you want to request a drabble when answering this, go ahead. I will be slow, as I have about ten drabbles already promised, but!

I like writing challenges.

Today at work is a slow day. I am still teaching the new grad student, and I have my lesson plans to prepare, and I have my own experiment to get going. And my shoulder hurts.

I think I am most annoyed by the sore shoulder. I have changed my pillow, I have changed the way I sleep, I have done relaxation exercises, and my neck is STILL TIGHTER THAN A THING THAT IS TIGHT.

*sigh*

Bleh. Ah well. I shall persevere. And maybe rip out the muscles in my neck, or something.

Fits of rage are so cathartic. The aftermath'd just be a pain. Woe.

It may be stress hurting your shoulder - is there anything coming up that might be making you tense? I ask because I had that for a week leading up to Millicon, because I have a deep-seated horror of travelling. Hence: Ow.

Ummm. Hot baths? Many of them? Not really much else I can suggest, except strategic painkillers to make it bearable. :(

Canasta always makes me think of Jocasta. It is weird. *solemn*

And, yeah. I am in a PhD program, and my boss is a demanding man. *wry* The times I am not stressed I can count on one hand, and are my two weeks of vacation every year. Whee?

Painkillers might be nice. And a hot compress type thing. Maybe when I get home!

*hugs*
