Sometimes, writing means staring at the well meaning but wrong grammar suggestions and explaining to an inanimate object why changing "waif" to "wife" will change the meaning of the entire sentence.

Yesterday, to a friend: I need to take a break from writing. Come back with fresh eyes.
Them: yes you do.
Today, to that same friend: would garnets or rubies go better with burgundy?
Them: why are you writing again?
Me: I'm not writing. I'm editing.
Them: THAT'S THE SAME THING

Me: I love putting my books on my bookcases. It looks beautiful
Me, an hour ago: *going on a tangent about how many books by certain authors and internally crying knowing when my mom and mother-in-law die I will have to weed so many books*

Nothing is more terrifying than when your DM tells you he is plotting and currently your character is on the verge of committing multiple war crimes in the name of feeling something other than guilt. And, also, exhaustion.

Apparently, if I complain about a chapter enough, the Inspiration Fairy will clock me hard enough that I can get two chapters and plot out 15 of them in two hours.

I love being a pantser. I *know* what comes next. I know the vague plot points to get there.
But this next chapter is on hold. Elevator music is in the background of my brain with the occasional ad for caffeinated beverages. And I have decided to stare at the page until it works.

Applied for grad school yesterday. Now we wait.
And we wait by staring at our novel and crying.

I can tell that I am an odd person when my main work gripe (that impacts absolutely nobody but me) is that in a recent update, the software changed fonts. And now the font is different and different sections are different sizes and have different line spaces. 😭

I think a crucial point of the writing process, for anything, is to make sure you have multiple projects going on all at once.
And that when you've finished a page of notes for your novel, you stamp it with a personalized stamp that says it's from your personal library to make it feel "official"

Being chronically ill is not lazy.
Resting when your body needs it is not lazy.
Saying “no” is not lazy.
Taking care of yourself is not lazy.
Ableism teaches us to guilt ourselves for respecting our body & its limits. Change the narrative.
Taking care of yourself is powerful.

I am awake during the day on my day off and that means I will (hopefully) get a bunch of writing done. Including but not limited to:
My novels
Fanfic
My personal statement for grad school
D&D story for one of my DMs.
Is anything going to be finished? No. But it'll come close. I hope.

Writing my personal statement for grad school and I once again ask why it can't be 750 words of me screaming and then saying "please"

Me, attempting to work/write/live my life:
My brain/body, for no reason: TURN OFF ALL LIGHTS. NO LIGHTS. STRIKE THE TEMPORAL LOBE. PINCH THAT NERVE IN HER NECK FOR NO REASON. MAKE IT SO HER HAIR *HAS* TO BE DOWN BUT SHE CAN'T CONCENTRATE.
Me:
Brain: You're welcome!

Part of the writing experience is staring at the paper and trying to remember the specific speech patterns of each character, and then, inevitably, referencing previous chapters with those characters to make sure accents and inflections are right. Crying preferred but optional.

Attention:
My husband's cat, who I have steadily been trying to gain the love and affection of for four years, has hit a new benchmark:
She has licked me. She has never done so before.
I cannot be happier, other than my wedding day.
Back to regularly scheduled shenanigans.

When we love someone, we don't demand they not struggle, ignore their struggles, or shame them for struggling. We sit w/ them. We see them. We validate them.
If we want to develop realistic self love, we can't be demanding, ignoring, or shaming ourselves in our own struggles.

Every time someone compliments me on how fast I type, and marvels at the fact that I can touch type, that's the moment I am violently launched back into 7th grade computer class, which was a typing class, where I learned to type.
And then I cry, because it's never from an older person.
