There Is Only Unwriting
For Novembo, I want to finish trimming wordcount on the current project by the end of the month. Had 6k down as of the 1st; I want to strip out 18-20k total by the end of Nov.
I envy you brave Novembo writers who are spending the month writing 🫡 For me...there is only unwriting

Y'all, I can't live in a world where Google can't help me spell bureaucracy. I teach about the 20th century. I'm writing about the war. I can't have it suggest nonsense like bure and cracy when I try to write it.

Here we go. Tyler no longer Groyper adjacent. Leaked Police interview with his family, Tyler Robinson hated Charlie Kirk because Kirk wasn't conservative enough+ Robinson admired/followed neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes. The entire GOP talking head-a-verse will be exploding and unwriting every narrative now.

HE: Are you feeling better than yesterday?
ME: I am *feeling* which is to beg the question of *better* which is to feel nostalgia for feeling so little while being deliriously fevered.
HE: Ah-ha. You’re writing a poem. I can tell from that wince.

On the left is Eris Cross, the capital and drama-filled hellscape of the Eastern Reach domain. The right is Ordene, my problem child that I shove all the falsified memory-branded horrors into since they have a great love for unwriting people from existence. It's the home of my doomed lesbians 💖

To return to what Im usually preoccupied with, (not the consumption of soup), why are short story endings the most impossible thing to get right? I’ve been writing and unwriting this one for over a week. Endings are right up there with front-ways parallel parking in my list of impossible skills.

Quote from Worley + Palacios' Unwriting Maya Literature: "Ak'abal deliberately deploys his own Mayaness in spaces and situations that require an accepted performance of ladinidad ... The Ak'abal threat is a reminder of Guatemala's inability to control, shape, and obliterate its Indigeneity." (89)

Yes, the fact that they're just egregiously bad at doing the job of a high court is nearly as enraging as their frequent choice of policy outcomes.
They're not rewriting common law, they're just unwriting it.
