Do I feel like trash because I'm getting sick for real or just because I got my flu/covid shots yesterday, a question for the ages
(This is not meant to dissuade anyone - get your boosters! Just maybe don't get them both in one arm like I did)

Okay eking in just under the wire BUT I met my goal of 3 chapters written in October!
Got to finish off with a fun scene between the main character and his love interest where he realizes the cute guy who helped him out earlier is, um, actively robbing a church. What's the opposite of a meet-cute?

So I've been trying to transition into being much more of a planner than a pantser, and so far this has been very successful, but the problem is that sometimes in-the-moment-Erin is way smarter and has better ideas than planning-Erin

I think the biggest mistake people make is looking at the next election. Think small. Primaries are where the battle is. Everywhere, in (almost) every country. There are two kinds of left: the we need to appeal to moderate nazis because those left of us have no choice but to vote for us anyway, 1/3

Last week was awful. There was a death on my birthday, and I found out my SNAP benefits went from $290 to $23
It was a bad time
So, if anyone wants to join the Patreon or Kofi, even for a month, I'd be thrilled.
There's microfiction, and updates, and tarot/oracle readings. Maybe other things too.
