In today’s episode of “Plants Wisdoms”:
My prodigiosa/siempre viva/Ewe Dun Dun has been growing like crazy to the point that I had to double its pot size. I used the soil I had leftover from the last pot upgrade and went on my way.
Then it started dying. RAPIDLY.

Dismayed and disappointed to hear this news
So. I don’t want to alarm anyone, but when you follow a set bedtime and get adequate rest, your body recharges or something.
I have rediscovered this for the millionth time.

Making exceptions for when you enforce a boundary means that the issue was never about alignment/self-preservation but control.

Whatever happened to “never let somebody tell you that they don’t want you more than once”?!
Did the girlies lose that recipe? Did y’all not have an auntie with a 27-piece?! Did your grandma not have that bowl of walnuts, apples, and, oranges on the dining room table?!
Who raised you to be dizzy?

The work IS the joy. The work IS the point. Yes.
I do things for the journey as much as I do the destination. Only thing I wanna snap and fix is my A1C.

That’s the other thing that baffles me about AI and creative writing, actually.
The work IS the joy for me. I don’t want to be able to snap my fingers and have a completed “product.” I want to be transformed by the process. I’m an author but I do this because I enjoy the rigor of being a writer.

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.
