Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 12hMe looking at leather collars on Chewy: Chewy is not going to know why I'm doing this. #writing #research #notforadog 130
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I didn't write today, but i hiked and applied for a job. 240
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 10/10/2026My goal for 2027 is not to be a fucking mess. Please tell me that is possible. 240
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Coming to terms with the fact that coffee helps but cannot work miracles 120

Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Do you report someone who leaves really nice comments about your work and then mentions their Discord as a collaboration communication device? Or do you just let it go if they're not being aggressive. They get you by leaving nice comments, don't they? But I think I should probably report them. 100
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I've always been a person who feels like I have to answer questions right away and make decisions right away, but my current mode is: You can wait for me to think about it and make up my mind. 240
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I continue not to write morning pages bc writing about my life is so stressful, but i realized they were helping me monitor my health. 👀 071
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Full-on coping by writing fic even though a million life items need doing. But i can't do them if i completely lose my mind, so. Story. 020
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I added a pillow to one of the cat beds in an attempt to equalize the beds, but now the one with the pillow is the more popular bed and I have the same problem as I had before. Fucking cats, man. 040
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It is always the way: you set up two cat beds, and both cats want the same one. 041
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I'm at a point where I need to skip ahead and write a happier part of this story bc life is so stressful I can't also have stress for my characters. 120
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Now he also had Wolf, who, even before this whole shitstorm, had been anything but predictable. 041
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 22/09/2026You know those days when you get halfway through the day before realizing you have your shirt on inside out? Yeah, that kind of day. 010
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I did so much adulting today, i turned into a shriveled prune. 140
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 18/09/2026This cat was there the whole time, it was just ignoring us every time we called. 030
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Everyone seems to be having an absolutely shit time. I'm sorry. I hope it gets better for everyone (incl. myself). 040
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 16/09/2026For example, this morning's sentence: Christ, he worked in a fucking hospital. Why didn't hospitals have dentists? It had never made sense to him that dentistry wasn't included in normal health care. Weren't your teeth part of your body? 140
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 14/09/2026It has been a day. I'm writing. This might be the most self-indulgent fic ever, but there are like 5 people in this fandom rn, so whatever! 020
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 14/09/2026My cat wants you to know that he killed a mole with the power of his mind today. 020
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Productivity cancelled due to heavy rain and thunderstorms. Instead: coffee and what is shaping up to be another very long fic. I'm at 13k and not even 1/4 through the outline. 040
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I love writing Brilliant Minds fic bc I get to insert all my many strong opinions about the American Healthcare system and call it character- and world- building. 030
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I taught an 84 y.o. the word enshittification today, and she was delighted by it. 0122
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Need a t-shirt that says: Stop telling me to empty my cache. My cache is not the problem. 010
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Whenever I question why I keep writing fic, I do something like try to log into one of the gazillion work platforms, which again doesn't work, and I realize with full force how shitty the entire nonfictional world is. 010
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I might write this story in chronological order, THEN mix up the scenes because this story needs to be told NONchronologically, but i keep getting confused while I'm writing. 🤣 030
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Today better fucking be better than yesterday. 030
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 09/09/2026"Back" appears MANY times in my current wip, but...this instance expresses my mood: He wanted to lie on his back in the warm summer water of the Sound and stare at the sky. 050
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 07/09/2026When I say I am 3 sheets to the wind, I don't mean I'm intoxicated, I mean I am writing a sex scene. 141
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 05/09/2026It has been a truly awful week, but i outlined a new fic, and i think I'll start it this weekend. 210
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I'm getting to the point where I don't even want to post on AO3 anymore because it's so dysfunctional. 100
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Overheard a fantastic line in the hospital waiting room today, and i am 100% stealing it for my fic. 030
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 04/09/2026My complete inability to write a simple fucking story. I gotta fucking add in all this complicated shit. Fuck. 030
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 03/09/2026How is my outline 3 pages, and i haven't solved a single fucking problem? 010
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 03/09/2026When I write AUs, I often think about that thing Asimov(?) said about only changing one thing, and all the other changes have to spring from that. 030
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I'm starting notes for a new story. It's how I'm coping with my stress. I hope that things will ease up after this month. Like, come on, life. 030
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Fandom buddies are the best because one of them can be like: How about if they're just casually hooking up all through season 2? And I can be like: Oh what a great idea! That would be such an intetesting way to explore mental illness! #whathappenstoyourideawhenitgetstranslatedbymybrain 110
Garryowen @garryowendogpoet.bsky.social · 01/09/2026When the first thing in my day is cat barf, I have a deep skepticism about what awaits in the rest of the day. On the bright side, I posted my story! I'm really proud of it. 250
