First time trying yoga since my hip replacement surgeries... UHM OUCH
I used to be so flexible and make any space a reading/writing nook. I'd just cuddle up into any corner, morphing into its shape, just as water does when it floods.
I CANT EVEN SIT CROSS LEGGED NOW 😵💫

Well my brain cant turn off 😂 Figuring out some world building stuff I avoided. Wedding break fueling these revisions:
1) currency of the two kingdoms since the world is trading/bartering
2) MCs unique magic situation & the MAAANY layers (most hidden) giving her powers.

I guess it was unavoidable that my magic system deal with necrosis since THERE IS SO MUCH INSIDE OF ME 🤢 Saw the images of yet another dying joint today. My right shoulder.
Hopefully this one comes back to life!
Does this make me part Zombie?

I am confuzzled. Had a query letter critique today & agent said dont use rhetorical questions. But my writing buds say my question is NOT rhetorical. According to internet I dont think it is? Its a thematic q that affects plot & character. Is this a rhetorical Q?

Things People Dont Talk About - Episode 397:
4 weeks after surgery, I've cut my pain meds... Withdrawals are fucking horrible. I never understood why people keep reaching for opioids if it doesnt feel that great. Now I understand another aspect. They do it to avoid withdrawals.

For the first time in my life, I'm writing a query letter... So far, I dread it less than I initially anticipated. And somehow it's still a bit dreadful 😆
Looking forward to editing this bad boy into something exciting that makes an agent want more 😊
