oof. so I just finished creating a live journal site, http://www.livejournal.com/users/seventh_guest/ because I wanted to join a drabble community. a drabble is a story that is exactly 100 words. plus it has a function called cut tabs that allows you to put up a post, with a link to an inner post, which could be a long ass story, so that the whole thing doesn't take up too much space on the main page.

However, blogger is so much easier to use, and it's free. I mean, live journal has a free version, but it took me hours just to customize it so I was decently happy with it, whereas I could do this all myself quickly and easily. it has some friend function, but I can't figure out how to make it easy. blag. I can just save them in my favorites folder and it all becomes simple again. the added stuff I can get at live journal by paying money aren't worth it, because it's still frickin complicated.

Anyway, I figured I'd join, so I'd have a place designed to post stories and get criticism for them, but don't worry, blogger. live journal is a new best friend, but you are still my love. my literary love, that is.

on a side note, I think I'm going to read War and Peace, because I'm liking Anna Karenina (Tolstoy) so much. I recommend it, unless you don't like books where the author is wonderful at portraying human emotion in complicated situations.
