Hi! I'm Lara. Welcome to my virtual home!

Instagram @LaratheLark

#sixfanarts part two, another cartoon. To do this, I had to rewatch some of the old Sonic Adventures cartoon, which I watched a lot in the early nineties. That was...illuminating. Haven’t seen the movie yet, but my boys want to see it. #sonicthehedgehog recommended by @nicegirl_ellie

Finally getting started on #sixfanarts. First one up: Arnold P. Shortman from HEY ARNOLD, recommended by @cordeliahaugen

Emphasis on the “do not.” 🌌 I always thought Yoda was kind of a jerk for saying this. An A for effort isn’t a bad thing. Sometimes even trying is a trial. Lately the big excuse in the Willard household has been “Well, I was going to...” (Practically, this excuse is meaningless. I just want to know if the thing got done, if it still needs to get done, or if we can forget about it.) We’ve given up a lot of things the past few months, and excuses are one thing we’ve held onto for too long. Here’s why they’ve got to go: You don’t give excuses unless you’re afraid of judgment. “I was going to” can go right into the recycling with “I really should” and shame and the Christmas decorations still up *cough* five months later. We are overwhelmed by intentions and obligations, and if the pandemic has taught me anything, it’s that I can stop the burden of trying and just do ... or do not. Thanks, Yoda. . . . . . . #motivationmonday #mondaymotivation #motivationalquotes #yoda #doordonotthereisnotry #noshame #noexcuses #deepermeaning #pandemicliving #messageboard #messageboardmonday #messageboardquotes #starwarsquotes #mbm

I might like birds idk

Little Richard: “And I'd like to give my love to everybody, and let them know that the grass may look greener on the other side, but believe me, it's just as hard to cut.”

Time for a final pass of my creative thesis. I’ve got a bird feeder in view, my infinity stone words of wisdom, the bottle of wine I’ll crack open when everything’s turned in, my relic/familiar for this WIP, a couple of my research books, a candle, my composition notebooks, iced coffee, headphones to play my WIP playlist, a squishy fidget, Hot Tamales and Cheez-Its, water in my gifted wine glass, and my growing to-do list. At least one of these things should “work” right? Can never be too careful. Do you have writing rituals or relics?
