Eight years ago I lost my neck gaiter. This morning it fell out of the couch.

I wonder what else is in there.

This morning it took me two and a half hours to edit one thousand-word scene. Let's see if I can do the next one any faster.

I accidentally invented the word 'lushroom'. What do you think?

We will think you are the one who keeps us afloat in this age of detachment and artistic crisis due to the devaluation of human art by corporate Ai shit and algorithms.
You might save someone's mental health by that single comment of yours from collapsing.
Are you allowed to just tell artists you don't know "Hey this is a tremendous piece of art you have posted here and I dig it a lot, wonderful stuff"

Because I want to! And then I'm like "No they will think I am A BIG CREEP!"

So, after drinking last night I did not blog. 😟 I expect the only person who noticed the lack was me, but I still feel bad about. Today is the day to make up for my lack.

I forgot I'm supposed to write a blog post today and started drinking. That won't matter, right?

I just got some amazing beta feedback and I'm bouncing off the ceiling in joy.

Today's the day. I'm clearing out my office.

I got bitten by a very grumpy skink.

I read a book in which every character was suspicious, prickly, and kind of rude. I wonder if it was a conscious artistic decision or if that's just how the author thinks everyone behaves.

I suspect I know the answer.

I quit my job. I can't figure out why I still have so much work to do.

Twin A saw the fog but does not pronounce G’s yet so there’s a lot of fuck outside today.

30k into my new WIP I'm starting over because I don't like the arc I had planned for my main character.

I just caught up online with a really old friend. We last saw each other maybe 5 years ago. It was lovely.

We tried to put our cats on a diet. They fought back by hunting more. :(

For someone who's not supposed to be working, I seem to be doing a lot of work.
