Had a job interview yesterday. Thought it went well. Haven't heard anything in almost 24 hours, so I'm downgrading the excitement level from orange to yellow.

I once heard a writer describe dark work as being trapped in the dark and fighting for the light.
I prefer to think of it as walking directly into the dark. Like Dune's Litany Against Fear, you can't really get past the dark things without embracing them first.

This book wrecked me in the best possible way.
It is... quite bleak. But fuck it is so damn good. Read it couple years ago and I still remember it vividly.

Part of my new thing at work is taking a 15 minute walk before I leave to get my blood sugar in acceptable levels. My boss knows this. Think I could get 1 minute into it before he messaged me asking for an update on a task he gave me an hour ago? Ha!

It’s like someone took a knife
Edgy and dull

600 words last night. Were they good? Who gives a fuck?! They're draft words. I could type 'wubba wubba I'ma fuck a bubba', and you'd never know.
