Auroris is an aspiring writer who knows too many words, but not their meanings. Is currently going through the following stages of writing.
1. Procrastination.
2. Self-loathing re: period of time spent procrastinating.
3. Panic.
4. Hypochondria - triggered by extra adrenaline formed during Stage 3 Panic and aided by hours spent on the internet analyzing "forgetfulness" and "fatigue".
5. Fatigue.
6. Burst of creative energy so overwhelming it occasionally required years of recovery but has the fringe benefit of producing a voluminous pile of paper that can be turned into a story either by large amounts of editing from supportive friends or from the author themself who is being forced to by dominating, bossy friends.
Auroris is still stuck in stage 2.
