Writer | #GYWO | Slight Obsession with words
Today was the Mondayest Thursday in a while. I'm still questioning where up and down are, who the hell I am, and most importantly, what the hell has even happened. The whole day was nuts, and I didn't even start writing yet.

I'm watching Star Wars: The Clone Wars series, and I'm currently on S4E10: Carnage of Krell ... this supposed Jedi was a fucking creep from the beginning. I saw him, I didn't like him ... and I was right.

Saturdays seem to be my most productive day of the week at the moment. I hit 8k already today, and I'm not done writing yet. Guess I'll get the braces and cooling pads ready 😅

My writing was all over the place today, but with five short stories between 500 and 1000 words in length, shared so far, I'd say it was a productive one.

Watching documentaries about sharks bunnied me hard. I'm not sure I am up to the challenge, but I'll do my best to try and put the idea the muse had into words.

I am easily amused while writing today. Writing drabbles really does it for me some days.

When you are in a mood while writing and totally lean into your main character's petty bitch energy, you know it will be a good writing day. #writerslife #writinggoals

Five days into Rough Trade, and this is my current word count.

Scrivener's autocorrect drives me batty. It would like me to correct "subdural hematoma" to "subcultural tomato"
It certainly makes for an interesting CoD for one of my characters.
Imagine seeing a death certificate reading "subcultural 🍅" as CoD

These last couple of weeks, writing felt like a chore more than anything else. I think my lofty goal of writing 1 million words this year and my already falling behind in the second month are doing a number on me. I decided to ignore the statistics and just ✍️
