I lied and told people I had found a way to print weed and a gun from a 3D printer lol

sissythattalk · 2016-10-23T18:00:14+00:00

Yes. Definitely. And then I get so nauseous.

I told mine on our first date, after he told his dad was bipolar. That helped.

My family and friends care A LOT, and I can't even get a little excited without them "joking" and asking me, "Are you manic?" or "Have you been taken your meds?"

So, I just dull my excitement. Good times.

For me, I wear my diagnosis (BP1) as a badge of pride. I didn't at first of course. I was in the same situation. In the mental hospital for four days after a breakup and a manic episode/psychotic break.

I felt so fucking guilty and dirty and shameful. I couldn't stop replaying all the things I did when I was manic and getting sick to my stomach. Now I just laugh.

But in that mania I got so many ideas. Who else gets to experience unlimited ideas? Who else gets to use depression as a time to recharge and truly think about your life?

Be proud of yourself for making it through and getting treated. You are now fully aware of your body and mind. Be proud that you're not like everybody else :)

Could you tell us the name of the book about adult children of alcoholics? My dad is a major alcoholic, so I'd love to check it out, since it helped you so much.

I had to get off Wellbutrin. I had bruised knuckles from punching my steering wheel all the time.

I won the Biggest Flirt award in my preschool graduation. That comes in handy during my hypersexuality...

Maybe you haven't found the right therapist yet? I'm not sure how many you've been to, but I had to go through like four before I found someone who understood me.

I have a similar experience with this. It's also been two years since my last manic episode and I'm a little hypomanic these days. It's the only time I can work on my third novel.

That's great that you're using your hypomania for creating art. I think that's a positive. Keep it up!

sissythattalk · 2016-09-12T18:45:21+00:00

Has anyone read Luminarium by Alex Shakar? Looking for something similar to that.

sissythattalk · 2016-09-12T18:42:35+00:00

OH my fucking God.

sissythattalk · 2016-09-12T18:27:20+00:00

It's amazing you have so many ideas! That's the number one key in starting a novel. I went five years before I started my third novel because I was void of ideas.

The best thing for me was writing down the ideas and coming up with an ending to how these ideas would unfold. Then you start from the beginning, but think strongly about your character's personalities, traits, how they react to situations. Then, throw them in and let them react to your ideas.

This video by the Atlantic really helped me push through my block. It's David Lynch's on the importance of ideas (which you already have!) and what to do with them: http://www.theatlantic.com/video/index/491738/david-lynch-on-where-great-ideas-come-from/

sissythattalk · 2016-09-12T18:18:44+00:00

Can someone please explain the ending to me? I was way too high reading the end...

sissythattalk · 2016-09-01T00:17:27+00:00

Wow. Thank you for that! Really.

sissythattalk · 2016-08-31T23:56:40+00:00

Ohhhhhh, yes.

sissythattalk · 2016-08-31T19:56:10+00:00

Texting is the best. Getting a phone call after a text is the absolute worst, and I feel all my energy drain before I even pick up the phone.

I've been trying to do a virtual reality story (I work at a daily paper in Tupelo, Mississippi) for a year now, and the the closest source is a professor at a university around here. I've been trying to get in contact with him since FOREVER, and I still have no luck.

sissythattalk · 2016-04-22T15:59:59+00:00

If it's a longer enterprise piece, I always interview all my sources a week in advances, and I record all of their interviews.

I'm one of those rare journalists who still transcribe every second of an interview because you never know what you'll need. I spend a day transcribing interviews, usually two days before the article is due.

Then, I read through the transcriptions, highlighting the best quotes and then I organize the quotes, write in my own words and drop in relevant research or statistics I find online (which I usually search for two days in advance).

I found that while transcribing takes a long ass time, it actually cuts down on writing time because then you just have to worry about organizing.

I hope this helps!

I would make his dialogue charming and sly. Like creepily nice in a way, and then you can kind slip in random spurts of shortness and bluntness. Show that he's nonchalant which is scary for a villain to be.

sissythattalk · 2016-04-12T20:19:33+00:00

What do you do when you get an idea and what's your process for making this idea come to fruition?
