Suicide Squad! Or, maybe just--Squad.

Alrighty, time for some word vomit as I take a break from the other WIPs I'm working on and the editing I should be finishing up. As the title suggests, went to watch Suicide Squad with the squad last night. And before any of y'all be like, I'm not squad...booooo! it is perfectly normal to have multiple SQUADS. So, there! 

Anyway, so, at the risk of turning this into another one of the many movie reviews out there - which, no thanks - but, I liked it! Went in without expectations and enjoyed the movie. I know some people thought it could've been better and, yes, some bits dragged on a little, but overall it was entertaining and I liked how each actor held their own. I'm not familiar with the comics so I've no idea whether they were all true to character, but dayum, how easy was it to aggressively appreciate Harley Quinn? 

Also, I finally got to watch X-Men Apocalypse on the weekend and, call me biased, I don't care, but I enjoyed that too! I always have the best time connecting the dots and figuring out who's who in these movies. Never mind the moments when I get excited and turn to Steve all like, "Do you know who that is?!" and he's like, "no". Which then prompts me into either deflating from disappointment or launching into a brief character description of who's who and from where and what. 

If it hasn't been revealed before, then it's certainly out in the open now. I'm a Loki nerd. Heh! Low key. Get it? Mehehe, Ella, stahhhppp. 

Something I've noticed recently, though. I guess I've been doing so much writing and editing and have spent quite a lot of time being conscious of sentence structures and where to put commas that, now, whenever I get the chance, I happen to take pleasure in butchering alllll the werrrddsss, lololol. See: epically long, run-on sentence of previous.
Oh, god, this post. 
I should delete this in the future, right? This quasi-stream of consciousness coming out of me right now? This. This is what has become of my brain. 
But!
And this is why one should never regret all previous works: 
This is GOOD! Ask any writer and they'll all tell you the same thing. Even when you don't feel like writing, keep writing. Don't worry about it being good, bad, whatever. One piece of advice that has stuck with me through all the NaNoWriMo's and all the Twitter friends and Goodreads and book blogs and Tumblrs: ya cain't STAHP. Even you feel like everything is total and utter COW POO. 
KEEP. GOING.

And that's what I'm going to do. I'ma end this now feeling much better after having puked all the blah onto here. 

Ciao, until next time!
