I'm THIIIIIIS close to snapping and comfort-commissioning like a dozen pieces of character art.

The most pressing hold-up is needing to rob a bank first.

Writers with day jobs: where do you keep your notes for the book things you think of while at work?

I have a pile of sticky notes that I constantly forget to take home.

There is simply not enough time in the day nor energy in the brain for all the things that need to get done.

But we squeeze in that writing time every chance we get.

In my future, I forsee that this round of edits will...

🔮 Add 10k of existing plot
🔮 Add 10k in a new POV
🔮 Overhaul the climax

Let's see if I'm any good with predictions.

Personally, editing goes way better when I cycle between listening/notetaking and drafting/workshopping.

... I know this. Yet convince myself to skip the first step.

Some days are for writing. Some days are for reading. But today... Today was for making

Peep a couple of doodles from late 2024. These and more are finding their home on my new gallery page 💫

I think travel is one of my favorite writing hacks. Assigning fictional buildings or cities or vistas to the places I've been helps them feel real.
