I did it! I deleted my Twitter account after going through years of posts to delete them one by one. Idk if it was worth it, but something in me wanted to do it. Bye bye Leon Skum!

Been having a good writing streak lately. About 1500k every night I wrote.
How are you doing out there? Any luck?

Hey! I'm still alive. Just not really active here. 😕 Too many bots. Too little interactions. Too much politics. I'm enjoying my time with the amazing #threads #writingcommunity. Join me there if you want to chat more.

Happy Monday Blueskaroos!
2 weeks of work before the holiday vacations.
What's on your mind?
Rushing to finish Christmas shopping?
Are you working through the holidays? 😔
Are you hellbent on finishing that novel and time doesn't exist anymore and you're floating through the fabric of imagination? 😅

I have high blood pressure and will need meds every days.
I guess the silver lining is that there's nothing "major" right now.
I'm pissed that it's solely my fault for not taking care of myself. I hope it's going to be a wake up call to push me to do more exercise.
I can be stupid.

I'm parked in the hospital parking lot. My heart is racing. I know I have to do this and I have a good idea of what awaits me, but I can't stop myself from being terrified.
Also, I hate hospitals...

Feeling anxious about my heart stress test this afternoon. I’m sure I have high blood pressure because of my sedentary lifestyle. It’s my fault. I should be more active. Now, I’m facing the consequences of my inactivity.
I hope it’s not too serious and that it’s not too late to turn things around.

Goodnight Blueskaroos!
Tomorrow is my medical test for my heart so I'm hoping for a good night's sleep.
Catch you all later!
Be kind!

A #writingcommmunity game: put the title of your WIP down and we’ll guess the genre!
Let people guess. Don't say the answer. If they want to know they have to visit your profile. ;)

I wish the algorithm would show me small writers accounts or book lovers accounts.
Seems Bluesky only wishes to push me big accounts which are impossible to interact with.
I'm looking to make connections, not to talk to the void. 😕

As predicted, after 1h, I can feel my brain shutting down. BUT!
I was able to go over 19 notes and todos that I had left myself in my WIP, so that's good! And by working these few points, I still put down 553 words! Better than nothing!
Time to head to bed now. 🥱

Kids just went to bed.
45 minutes later than usual which cuts on my writing time 'cause my brain will slowly start going into sleep more.
I might not write, but I'll check the many notes and todos I've left myself to check some off.
Better than nothing!

One hour and 826 words later, I think I'm done with this chapter.
I'm happy because I pushed through and told myself it didn't need to all be good and I just had to write down what was happening the best I could.
Now it's time for bed.

Creative question of the day: Do you ever get lost in all the ideas for your WIP?
In my current one, too many things have changed (genre, major plot points, swapping characters). While new ideas excite me, I feel stuck and unsure if it’s still worth pursuing after all this time... it's been so long.

Quick review of We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kielwer. Bluesky really needs to up its workcount or have an option for longer posts....

Finishing Marcus Kliewer's We Used to Live Here today. I'm still not sold but not less intrigued about how it's going to end.
I think my problem over all is the pacing and clearly many loose ends and promises not paid of, but we'll see... There's still 40-50 pages to go. We never know.

12h shift today. I'm dead.
Tomorrow? Writing? Couch potatoing? We'll see.
For now, sleep.

Taking the day to write. Haven't done that in a while.
No goals, just butt in seat, hands on keyboard and we'll see where this goes.
If you're nice enough, I might post a some of it later. ;)
