Woke up doubting myself, so i asked one of my characters to talk me down.
grannis said: “you BEEN belonged. the only mistake would’ve been not letting you in.”
So if that voice in your head is acting bold today—
Tell it to hush.

I've seen a few writers on BlueSky say that a first draft's only job is to exist. I don't know who said it first, but thank you. I've written 30+ novels, but I still needed that reminder, because it never gets easier. And now, back to making a thing exist!

you’re knee-deep in doom soup, the sky’s glitching, and Lady Death just put you on her list.
here’s the thing:
life (and afterlife) is one long group project with no instructions.
and somehow you’re still here.

So everything’s going wrong? Brick wall in your path, dreams crumbling behind you. Look if all you did today was sip something hot, mutter curses, and breathe?
That’s coping & surviving.
Spite + caffeine = survival.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Might try a new holiday tradition (escape room style). Gonna put a group of kid cousins in a room with a TV and no remote. Also gonna include a rotary phone and then give them instructions on how to call me when they need help. 🤣🤣 Any guesses on how long it will take them to escape the room?
