Went to my Writer's Critique Group after being absent for a few weeks. Wrote something as a writing exercise, just to get some words on a page. Got some good feedback about it. Saw some new faces there, too, which is always exciting.

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY!

If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK!

Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore.

JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺

Got a Netflix subscription to keep myself distracted from constant anxiety over reading the news every day.

I watched the first season of Wednesday. It was great! I love most of the characters and the sets. I also loved their interpretation of the Addams Family, and Uncle Fester in particular.

Woke up to no water in my apartment this morning, but it's fixed now. What a great start to my week.

as we approach tax season it would be nice to know if we still have a federal government

I asked my doctor to increase the dosage on my anti-anxiety meds. I am trying to remain calm in the wake of our wonderful president's chaotic decisions.

I expect to start getting large medical bills again if Medicaid is gone.

When I was a kid, I'd sometimes chase fireflies at night. I miss them.

I've thought about running Gurps Doctor Who at GenCon this year, but am unsure if I know enough Doctor Who lore to pull it off.

I am too stressed out right now to write.

Odd questions for friends that suffer from depression- Does your depression tend to manifest during a certain time of day?

I'm just now noticing that I tend to be depressed in the morning/noon, but my feelings improv as it goes into the afternoon and night.

About to head out to a small meetup of old college friends, also working on writing projects of their own. The weather kept us from meeting the last couple of weeks.

It's the 50th anniversary of The Jeffersons today!

A lot of my friends are preparing to leave Facebook because of Zuck's announcements. I've always treated FB like a phone book, it's where most of my friends are. I can't leave yet, because most of my social life is on there. I'm trying to use bluesky more, but it's difficult (low engagement so far).

This coming week I have to actually get out of the apt for two Dr.s appointments. And my Writer's Critique group, unless it's cancelled again.

All this snow just makes me sleepy.

Over the weekend, its 1. Go get groceries, 2. board games w/ friends, and 3. New? writer's group with old college friends (I hope it works out and lasts).

Making a big pot of chili for the next couple of weeks. Planning on washing some clothes later when the laundry room isn't so busy. Piddling around with chapter 2. Might goof off on reddit a little.

Not drinking anything for NYE. No good beer in the fridge.

Happy New Year's Eve!

Back from my writer's critique meeting.

Chapter 2 is meant to be a dialogue-heavy chapter. I tried to fill in the spots between dialogue with interesting detail.

The group consensus was that my dialogue was great, but everything else needs some work.

I've completed another 2k words for the second chapter of my WIP. Going to the Writer's Critique meetup tonight to get suggestions and corrections. Going to edit that later this week and send out a copy to some selected beta readers after that.
