"Malort advent calendar" is already such an unhinged concept but every little window just having Malort in it really pushes it over the edge into something transcendently funny

Mumford & Sons and Hozier wrote a song produced by Aaron Dessner with these lyrics and it's somehow *not* written especially for me? It's like they heard I was having writing motivation problems and said "We can fix that".

My main contract gig is being cut, and my family responsibilities are less demanding than a few years ago. So please get in touch if you know of writing/editing/research/workshop positions, any hours, ideally remote or Ottawa. Extra points for good causes. I know it's rough out there for everyone.

Something went wrong during our new kitten Astrid’s spay procedure this morning and she didn’t make it. We are devastated. We didn’t have her for long but she was such a good cat.
My poor sweet baby. I love you and miss you so much.

Today was a really weird day. Got some not-great personal news. Got some good professional-ish news. And I wrote 4k+ words on my zero draft for new project.

Did I just spend all evening researching whether or not a coastal lagoon could've been anywhere near enough a volcano eruption that it would've gotten enough ash to make helenite for ~reasons~?
Apparently yes.

Currently working through the snowflake method to plot New Project, and it really, really works.
After 3 tries, I have a (very messy) 1-page summary that actually hangs together.
But I am so glad I'm doing this now and not after I've written 50k words of prose and realized the plot didn't work.
