Today I finished the first novel chapter in 3 years.

I switched to short stories for more writing practice. Then I started working more because things cost more, and I got sick. I never got back to my novel. Short-form content was all I could do.

Completing a chapter feels like I'm back home.

What's better worse than a zombie chasing you? A zombie on fire chasing you! #noflamethrowers

The Merriam-Webster online dictionary has a tab for a thesaurus, and it just makes me so happy. Why didn't I notice this before?

Attended amazing classes by @retreasure.bsky.social and Zack Be at @fyrecon.bsky.social today, and now I need to just sit and marvel now. It's been a lovely day.

One of the kids left the backdoor open while we started a campfire in the backyard. Now the entire first floor smells like campfire. I'm secretly delighted.

Green Day's new song is making me all nostalgic. I had no idea they were still releasing music, and it's taking me back hard. Will need to look up their latest album to see what I've missed.

Not me turning down my phone volume when my headphones are connected to my computer...

I may have moved somewhere really cool! This is about a 25 min drive from our new place.

Every time we move, I swear off buying more print books. And yet here I am, somehow packing even more books than last time. I do not keep my word to myself 😂

This seems appropriate as today is my Bluesky birthday. Hello world! No birdies here 😆
