The migratory birds were flying alongside the giant dragon. However, the migratory birds did not seem surprised. Perhaps this was a common sight for them.

This is Tub and Blue. They simply cannot figure out how to get their tennis ball that fell in the pool. Still 12/10 because they really are trying

I know when writers talk about writing process, they often delve into the steps they take for writing the story. I don't think they have worked out a method of storytelling that they want to work with and refine. Though, I'm an alien among writers.

I need organization for all the cute little notebooks I've accumulated and use. I also need to stop buying them and yet, I brought two more yesterday. I think I have a problem.

Episode 3 of Murderbot thoughts: Awkward. Everything feels so awkward. And I really dislike the excuse, well they changed things for TV viewing audience. But, there is a reason why I stopped watching TV. I got tired of being treated like I'm stupid because of nonsensical things happening.

So I'm forever never taking list given of "summer reads" by newspapers and magazine seriously ever again. Not that did in the first place. But, seriously, who doesn't know by now that A.I. will hallucinate authors and book titles.

I'm going to write a longer rant when the show finishes running, but Murderbot on Apple TV isn't doing it for me. Oh, I have such a rant planned. I already scribbled down notes. As of right now every other sentence starts with "Why?"

So in the journey to be able to tell other people what to expect when reading my work. Studio Ghibli is a solid description. I have no qualms over using it. So Claws of Ice Wings of Fire reads like a Studio Ghibli movie meets....and I don't have anything for that.

Some Writing Practice:
The pads of my fingers settle on the polished surface of the pen. It’s barrel, a display of intricate gadgetry. The tip bleeds ink the color of sun touched beach waves. #amwriting #writingcommunity

So I'm editing my MMC ranting a bit about his views on his society. The man is opinionated, and I've a bunch of negative gloom in my mind right now. Now, I'm trying to decide if I should be editing this rant of his. I practice tact bit, damn I don't feel like being tactful at the moment.

So I made a decision and changed services. I'm not one Ko-Fi. It was where I originally wanted to post a donation page, but it didn't want to work with the email I had. So now I have to change all my links. Which is fine... perfectly fine.
