2070 words! Whoop!

There it is!

I have something to contribute!

James fully removed his shirt, and inspected his body as closely as he inspected his face. He was a large man, who’d come to the navy muscular and full of life. There was no sign of that man now.

So, my daily bag is a tote bag. Cutest thing. It's got Arthur's and DW's library cards on it. Inside are 3 pouches. A girls girl pouch, a medical pouch, and a pen pouch.

And yet I somehow feel I need another one.

Hook became captain of the Jolly Roger because he and the crew decided to mutiny. Why did they mutiny? Because the first captain decided people were cargo.

I think that sums it up.
Greetings, #NovemberWorldbuilders. Tell me about the ethics of your MC or any character who is important in your world's lore. Are they morally good? Morally grey? Do they have a belief contrary to what others around them believe in? Are there any acts they refuse to do?

I called my husband the other day to write down an idea I had because I was driving and it idea popped into my head.
Writers, do you ever fear running out of story ideas? This is one fear I don’t have #writingq #WritingCommunity

I have no idea who long I've been writing for. I'm going to take that as a sign to take a break.

I should not be cold in my house. Why am I in my office wearing a jacket?

Since draft 2 is driving me crazy, I'm jumping back to Hook. Got some good ideas flowing that need to be written down.

I'm at the stage in my life where new comforters are exciting.

On another note, I bought the best comforter from HomeGoods. I was both comfy AND cozy last night.

I know I added a new character because it made sense, but right now I'm frustrated with trying to find ways to weave her in. I think I'm just upset with having to think too hard.

Maybe I need to pivot to something else and put draft 2 to the side.

I keep taking breaks from writing just to find myself stopping to write more.

It's a good problem to have, but I want to sit and do nothing and enjoy my tea.
October 27, 2025 at 5:51 PM
And I'm back writing. I've got some good words in, and I'm hoping to get in more today. I have to remember I added in a new character. She's making things a bit odd, as I have to figure out where I should and shouldn't use her.

The problem with adding in a new character is finding ways to incorporate them. I just had to rework a scene because I forgot my MC has a bodyguard.

Should I chage my pfp to my actual face? Or should I keep the mystery? 🤔
October 16, 2025 at 6:29 PM
I've written for like 2 hours or something like that.

I'm taking a well deserved break until Shut Up & Write later on tonight.

I think draft 2 will be a lot longer than draft 1. I had to add a chapter and added a few things that didn't exist in the first one.
October 16, 2025 at 3:50 PM
I wrote for the first time in a long time yesterday. It was so good! I'm looking forward to get more words in tonight.

My laptop got delivered today! It's over a week early!

I've been gone for a while. Let me catch you up.

Shipped laptop off to be fixed. Gonna take a month to fix because of tariffs. 🙄

Swung to hypomania and spent so much money. (Bought a new tablet) Not a lot of sleep. 🙃

Med adjustment (yay). Sleeping normalish

Taking notes on book 2.

I'm tired.

See, the thing is, when you have BP, your creativity is at the mercy of your swings.

Have I been writing? No. I did read over Hook and make notes on what I could change though. So...

And now a one off character is more than just an NPC.

I get worked up doing the business side of writing. I have to keep reminding myself that, at this point in time, all I have to do is write. When it's time to move, I'll move. Until then..

Breath, Temmy, breath.
