Today has been tough, so here for the record are the lyrics of the "X-Men song" I sing my son.
To the tune of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer
You know Jean Grey, and Cyclops, and Storm, and Rogue.
You know Gambit, and Iceman, and Beast, and Toad.
But do you recall...
The most famous X-Man of allll

Made the "mistake" of going to my fave local bookstore to buy birthday presents on a T. Kingfisher release day. Couldn't resist buying a copy of What Stalks the Deep. So much for the resolution to just read what's on my shelves. Wish I could say I'm sorry, but @tkingfisher.com has me hooked.

I hope you all read this from me.
To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement.
However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read.
I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here.

This is a bleak timeline, but thank goodness for Alexandra Petri
Alexandra Petri's writing has such punch to it, not only in terms of content but form. In her best stuff, you can *hear* her voice, and this is one of her best.

Everyone can say exactly what they want, free of the fear of censorship, except by the government.

One of my favorite stories I've written to date is about teenage witches who practice in a suburban Chicken Express, and it's finally being published!!
Here's the amazing cover that looks awesome and is hilariously mismatched with the tone of my story that's in it!

Today my 3 year old asked me to sing him an X-Men song at bedtime, so on the spot I wrote Wolverine the Grumpy X-Man to the tune of Rudolph.
Why even sit down to write today? I've clearly hit my creative peak for the day.

Thank you @thestranger.com for covering the backflips my brain was doing to figure out where the heck the season finale of The Last of Us was supposed to take place.
You missed me spending the 2nd half of the episode yelling about how Ellie would have had hypothermia from her time in The Sound.

Reminder to self and others, you are not an endless productivity machine. Getting stuck sometimes is supposed to happen
This definitely, but also, sometimes you're stuck because you've done something wrong somewhere, and your writer brain knows it even if you don't. You need to find the reason for the stuckness.
Getting stuck while we're writing is a feature, not a bug. It's the point of the exercise. It's what happens when we are trying to express something we have not expressed before. That friction forces us to make the tools we need to understand and express it. Getting stuck is how we make meaning.
