Me: I'll have a nice little lie-in on this, the first morning of my writing retreat

7:01am: you didn't SET your alarm for now, but you're waking up now anyway just like it was the rest of the week when your alarm goes off now!

Me: no I shall persevere

Me at 7:19: I guess I shall not persevere 🤦‍♀️

Stuff not on my bingo as a teen: that V for Vendetta’s film adaptation removing the comic’s grey area ended up being more realistic in the long run.

irl I am frequently forced to work with people in big tent ways, and like someone losing their minds over EBT/SNAP is one of the ways I will be like "Yeah I have zero desire to work with anyone who thinks its acceptable for kids to go hungry because you don't think a program is managed well enough."

"People are getting free food and they might not deserve it!" who gives a shit man literally one of the unambiguously good things about the 21st century is we have lots of excess food production and we have the capacity to have hunger be significantly less important in decision making.

I am going through old sketchbooks before I shove them into another closet and am somewhat bemused by the notes I wrote to my future self.

“pecked to death by iron-eyed albatrosses”

“Archaeopteryx girl at the cliffs of oolong”

“Eve tastes the Bacon of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.”

For Halloween, we have subjected Stepson to two seasonal films!

First, MOTHMAN PROPHECIES!

STEPSON: Aww, that was more sad than scary. Well shot, too. I wondered how they were gonna make Mothman scary.

ME: *trying to avoid looking at windows, shadows, mirrors, etc*

Sometimes i get sad at those “I wanted to look up what kind of horse pulled medieval wagons It’s three hours later and playtex bra sewers made spacesuits i have a problem” no. No, you don’t. Hydrate and get back in there
I strongly recommend everyone do research sometimes 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘯.

Look something up on Wikipedia. Go to the little citation. Follow it. Read the article it's referencing. Follow links to the original interview. Read the paper written by the interviewee

It genuinely makes you appreciate journalism

I am so tired of people equating "edge" with "good" writing, and people implying I can't be a serious writer because of the things I love. Bradbury himself inoculated himself early against such foolishness. Love what you love. Write what you love. Tell everyone else to fuck the fuck off.

A3: My greatest achievement is surviving to get to be 54. My greatest writing achievement was having my debut novel reach number 1 in Steampunk on A*azon. But I felt more successful when someone told me they reread the book once a year, or that it was their favorite book. 🥰#WriteStuff
