I have been thinking about this for 48 hours and it has reframed how I think about creative output. Thinking of the revision as a fun separate task instead of the whole as adhd hyperfocus fuelled misery.
In terms of process, I enjoy writing but revising????? Oh, that’s my real kink. A second or third draft???? A fourth???? Making tweaks on my desktop AND my phone???? *moans* I’m a WHORE for revision.

It’s so weirdly lovely to be on a train & see someone reading a book by an author you like, just such a pleasant feeling of silent fellowship

Everytime I get rejected by a job I think my life couldn't be worse right now.
Everytime I read the news I think never mind, I'm doing fine given the context of 2025

Also knowing the temperature food is going to be before it's in my mouth hole is pretty great
food tastes 1000x better when you eat with your hands. I feel sorry for any loser who's never experienced it.
