It's just, like you say, you love someone's stories so much you start to think that's the only way to do it and you wonder why you're not doing it like that. And that sort of thinking is only going to make you miserable.

I want to remember that as a motto to myself so am posting it here in order to Memory it. *g*

ETA: This might also work for stories that one oneself has written in the past and loves a lot and is now tongue-tied by. (Gads, what a sentence...)

Ooh, I get to be Memoried! How exciting! :) I keep forgetting to Memory things these days, my Memories are very inconsistent.

I have been researching writing exercises on t'internet - came upon some very silly ones. My favourite was, "Write a poem that references everyone you've ever known who's committed suicide." wtf?

You don't need Memories. You have del.iciou.s.
