Quite good day today. Played some Tarkov, went to Video Game store, got a new joycon & switch game, worked on a friend's car, had good food, watched fun youtube and TV.. Sometimes ya just need to have a nice slow day and embrace simple joys in life while you can.

Growing up were there any moments in movies that traumatized you?
The Lollipop Dragon - Bad Guy "Baron Bad Blood" literally gets magically turned into a tree. Forgive the bad pun, but I've been twigged out by that idea ever since. The live action Cowboy Bebop episode was a bad PTSD trip for me.

Because my job falls under the purview of the federal DOT, I have to have a physical every year; part of that physical is getting an arbitrarily 'nominal' blood pressure reading. Except that like BMI, getting accurate BP readings on fat people is notoriously difficult & inaccurate & journal backed.

Remember, remember, the 5th of November. Gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason. Why gunpowder treason. Should ever be forgot.

I also grew up on paper booklet stamps. I was on snap just a few short years ago. I still have my card even though it has zero balance on it.

I grew up on food stamps--not SNAP, physical paper stamps that came in a little book that Mom kept in her purse.

I regret my life choices. Got my covid and flu shot yesterday. Should've waited to a Friday.
I am dragging today. Exhausted and sore. And unfortunately not able to take off work to recover.

Okay, this may not be as ridiculous a goal as I thought it was. Please, pre-order, encourage your friends to pre-order, and spread the word! We can actually get there!
If we can sell between 5,000 and 10,000 copies of OMENS OF CHAOS, we will debut comfortably on the New York Times Bestseller list, which is a very normal thing for a book to want (and will send a very clear message about what we want as a community). We won't, but a girl can dream.

Something I've realized over the years of trying to write is that I seem to be decent at coming up with world building ideas and characters pretty well, but get stumped on plots for those characters to work through. Need to think on this more.

As I begin to contemplate trying to sit down to write seriously, I pondered writing essentially fanfic, and if that was a good place to start, and then I remembered the number of author friends I have who started out in franfic or are writing franchise tie-in novels is >0, so..

I have had sushi. The world may be a total dumpster fire, but there is still sushi, and that's definitely something.

Working this year's OryCon somehow made me realize that somehow, as I'm nearing 50, giving zero fucks about masking, about presenting any way except how I want to, and existing as a person with disabilities, has somehow made me more confident and more attractive than I ever thought possible. Neat.

Picked up a notebook to start writing down story ideas and bits into. Maybe I can finally put something together.

Hey. Hey. Me. REMEMBER THESE IDEAS AND WRITE THEM DOWN AND JUST START WRITING ALREADY.
Been watching some spooky movies with bestie this last week or so, and sparked conversations about queer tropes, horror tropes, bad writing, etc. which sparked a discussion of "You could / should write something better than what we watched." So now I'm up to two different story ideas in a month.

My last piece for my Frankie cosplay (the white turtleneck) arrived and fits great. I don't think I've ever been this excited to cosplay a character before, and I don't think I've ever felt as represented and seen as a person before as I do with Frankie. Thank you so much @danaterrace.bsky.social !!
