The Day Has Passed and Gone

 My mood from my prior journal hasn't changed much.  I'm still sorrowful over my late family friend.  All I can do is to trust God to care for her.

Another mood that's stayed the same: being annoyed at people on the internet and their folly.  My need to change the way I think about said behavior, even if it involves someone I may even follow, gives me the impression that much of these discussions need a mature, grown folks' conversation instead of evading accountability.  Some people will stick to that way because they are afraid or can deceive themselves into truly believing that type of escape will save them.  Sooner or later, it will catch up to them.

Otherwise, trying to stay ahead of my stories and other things in life such as helping out locally where I'm needed is my main focus now.  I'll have to share some characters here soon enough, though I am focusing a lot on portraits.  That makes me think I need to do some vingettes of them interacting, now that I think about it!  It'll be a good way to help characterize them to anyone really analyzing who they are.  Aside from that, I'm pretty happy that I've written so much to brainstorm in a way that will be effective in writing it a lot more smoothly soon.
