I wanted to just do some work today, but I guess putting my web development skills to work and troubleshooting errors when even the logs don't want to load is... fine, too.

Self-doubt is contagious in the writing community, as it is in all creative spaces.
But I think I can be happy knowing I wrote my stories as best as I could at the time, and will learn and improve from every story I finish.
It's the zen ember that lets me finish stories.

Finish my "side read," Mistborn book 1, today.
Can't say I really started enjoying it until the middle, but I got Sanderlanched all the same.
Time for book 2, I suppose

I haven't had an asthma attack in months, so it seems right I'd have one at a fancy dinner where I definitely didn't bring an inhaler.

I discovered my gas station has creamer cups of just extra caffienated espresso you can add to the coffee, and I've been thinking about how I should have put them in my coffee all day.

I always end up vibing with certain songs when writing my books. For Not the Crown, but You, it was definitely Untouched by The Veronicas
It's truly the vibe of the entire romance---yearning

Sure, finishing a rough draft or publishing a novel is a great, but what about that first read through of the rough draft where you get to tweak a million scenes so they work perfectly, seed details for later, and inject delicious emotion into pivotal moments?

Everytime I try to do TikTok, I make one video, get exhausted by the process, and vow it's not for me.

Today, I had the distinct pleasure of yelling, "Yeah! Fuck 'em up, Santa!" at my TV while watching #Sanda
The six episodes I watched were unexpectedly deep with puberty and identity issues, and unexpectedly so damn hype.

As a fantasy author, I feel like I need a codex, preferably a visual one, about all the various pieces of fancy clothing.
Is a bodice the same as a corset? I forget. What about a tunic? Just when does it turn into a cote, eh?
