I joined a dating app again because I had so much fun romancing people in Baldur's Gate 3. The app is a wasteland of poor mental health, but honestly given ::gestures at everything:: it's amazing any of us are still going

For my second playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3, I taught myself how to install mods. 41 of them! It's been so great having all of this additional content, bug fixes, and quality of life improvements. Second playthrough is even more fun than the first...

130 hours into Baldur's Gate. The story I was most invested in (Astarion) is now complete. Post-game depression is setting in. Like the final page of a good book, or ending a relationship; a small death. Greatest game I ever played. I felt bright, childish wonder I never hoped to feel again.

I have been happily single for a long time and rarely think about men or sexuality. But I'll tell you what, these Baldur's Gate 3 romances have me shook. Now I want to make an 8-Bit branching narrative romantasy video game where you are the lovely heroine and everyone else is hot... #romantasy

An image of Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3. He is a pale skin vampire with white hair wearing an open fluffy ivory medieval shirt in front of a red draped tent. He is very hot.

At a memorial service today. My dad is the youngest of 6, and we lost one of his siblings today. I realized today that being the children of the youngest, while we missed many of the stories of the old days, we will be around for all the funerals.🌱🌲🌳🌱

I'm most alive on Sunday nights. I'm rested, creative, awake, inspired, producing. 8 hours of work Monday dims my spirit, and I'm a bit dimmer every day until the next weekend. I've tried every productivity hack out there. How do you all do it? #amwriting #writingsky

I'm in 3 Dungeons & Dragons groups. I play 6 to 9 times a month. This month, I have only 2 games & have been a little depressed. D&D is my social & creative bedrock!! Next time this happens, I will host a cross-group one-shot at my house 🥲🎲🗡️

What if I wrote a story called Project Magicker about a project manager thrust into a fantasy world & trying to cope without her AI assistant, smartphone, or even paper. 'Fish out of water' stories aren't my fav, but this is hilarious & right in my niche (I'm an exhausted corporate tech PM)

An unprecedented 3 days with no plans this weekend. I read 3 books on writing, researched stocks to gamble on, did chores, and played Hearthstone. My brain whispers that I did nothing, but I know better. Hoping to re-outline the chapter I'm stuck on before sunset. 🌙 #amwriting #writingsky

I'm a 'plotter' trying to relax and 'pants' a bit more. After all, I have a long outline of what happens! But I'm finding my scenes are slow and lacking tension. My pantsing instincts aren't perfected yet. I need to slow down -again- to make detailed chapter outlines. Sigh. #amwriting #writesky

Today I pulled a few wild mustard plants (invasive here) growing in the meadow between my condo and the golf course. No gloves, oops - my hands swelled and I broke out in hives. I also wrote quite a bit on my fantasy story and took a 2 hour nap. Not bad for a work day! #amwriting #gardening

An unsung quality of cats is their love routine. Very helpful for folks who disappear into hyperfocus holes like me. Oliver begging for his dinner on my desk reminds me it's time to stop working. Baxter standing by the bathroom sink for reminds me it's time for bed. Good boys 🤍 #catsky

I made a 12 sec clip (of nonsense) to practice cropping for my YouTube channel and IT WORKED. Proud of myself! I'm dedicating 15 mins. a day to working on the channel and it's adding up! Same with 'two sentences a day' of writing, which has become 2 chapters this year. Exciting ✨📽️✒️ Happy Sunday

Sunday is best day! Today is busier than I'd like, but it's all good stuff. Finishing up chapter 4 to submit to my writing group, doing some video editing troubleshooting for my YouTube channel, chores, &, lots of Enya and dancing with my cats. #amwriting #writingsky

I wish someone had told me when I was young that life could be thoroughly happy & fulfilling without a partner. Spent too many years loving the wrong people, in heartbreak recovery, & tolerating bad dates. Take it from me, folks! Invest in cats, friendship, hobbies, and YOURSELF! You are enough.
