Wednesday afternoon.

Since I don't have the capacity to panic, I've got a butterfly band-aid on my thumb over a new cut. Kind of long, shallow but wide, and, since I keep my knives sharp, very clean. It's healing fine, so I probably didn't need to call an ambulance last night, but for some reason now I'm feeling guilty about it. Even though I know it was an accident, I feel close to crying in the bathroom.

Other than a last round of edits and the citations for the bibliography, my essay's done. This wouldn't be news if it didn't involve the rigamarole of USB drives and WordPad, but it does, so there's a sense of victory involved aside from completing an assignment ahead of time.

Also, the artist sign-ups for the house_bigbang are going on, and I don't have any hope that the artists will contact me, which will no doubt leave me disappointed in the end products - "No, that's not what she looks like."

Oh, Hannah, I didn't realize! You shouldn't feel guilty, absolutely--how were you to know, at the time, that it would be fine?

*hugs you up*
*sends along tea*
*plus good vibes, for good measure*

I've got a sizable scar on my left leg which is a reminder there are times when panicking and telling other people is the right thing to do, but it's a hard skill to learn.

Thanks.

*hugs* Take it from someone who once accidentally stabbed her own thigh with a utility knife: It's always better to be cautious with a cut that bleeds a lot.

It didn't bleed too much, and it's pretty well stopped by now. I'm not sure if I should go and get attention because of that.

Er, thanks.

Don't feel guilty! I've left cuts to heal on their own and gone to the ER for what felt like an over-reaction - though despite the short term horror of the overbandaging, it was for the best in the long run.

I have to admit, the artwork is the reason I forced myself to finish Big Bang. I don't have any expectations - I'm just so thrilled that someone is doing art for one of my stories. One of my artists did contact me last year, so it's not unprecedented. You could always ask the mods if there's a process for the writer contacting the artist.

Given the nature of the cut and my history with deep injuries, I don't think stitches are needed, so I'll just do my best to not feel bad and keep it clean.

The main reason I worry about the art is that I have a very firm vision of how the characters look, and I'm worried they won't come out that way if nobody asks me. That whole 'auteur theory' thing going on.
