I tried that, and then double bagged it in a grocery plastic bag so hopefully it won't spill all over the trash bin. Thanks for the tip!

I tried making a white chili and absolutely ruined it. Any ideas on how to dispose of a crock pot of gross soup?

I'm going at it chapter by chapter. Thankfully the first third or so is pretty clean, so I'm moving quickly through it.

I finished going through my second draft last night, so today I'm going to start a third pass over it. I've only got two months before I hand it over to an editor, and it isn't near ready. #scribesunited

I've got about two months before I throw this at my editor for developmental edits, and I want it to be some kind of presentable before that happens.

I just finished the second complete draft of Malgun Hall, and... it is not pretty. Like, there's so much wrong with it, I can't stand it. At least I have a lead on how to start fixing it, and I know that the first third or so is pretty solid. That gives me a place to start with fixing the rest.

October 4: 618 words, and the end of this draft. Now to go back to the beginning and start over again.

I've got 480 words already, and some insight into what I've been doing wrong all this time that's been making this story feel like I'm pulling teeth. Turns out I needed more pov characters to carry the story.

I'm going to try to get another hundred words written on my rewrite tonight (and autocorrect decided that 'words' needed to be 'errors', which doesn't bode well for me) #scribesunited

Therapy is like taking a brillo pad to your brain-- it helps get up some of the gunk, but it can leave you raw as hell. I think that counts as doing some hard work today.

Hello #scribesunited! It's 9:54 here in the EST, and I just got done with adding 552 words to my rewrite. It's still rougher than I would like, but it's progress.

Having children's Sunday school songs stuck in my head only really serves to remind me how fucked up were some of the things we were taught as kids.

I used to work in a graveyard, and one thing I noticed is the images that often got included in people's grave markers-- you could tell a lot about the dead by what their family chose to represent them. Young men often had cars and motorcycles; elderly folks might have bingo cards or slot machines

🐉Arkay would write Rosa's. Not a lot of information, just "Beloved" 🐉Meph would write Arkay's, and he'd run out of room with all he'd want to say 🩸Lachance's would be written by his great-grandkids, who would only include a death date and "beloved father and grandfather" #13morbidmondays

A plot twist that makes readers say 'WHAT?' is fun. A plot twist that makes them say 'WAIT, THAT MAKES SENSE' hits differently.

All my notifications are off except the urgent ones, so I've Pavlov'd myself into a very strong reaction when I hear a phone buzz. Once or twice I can cope with, but repeated buzzing jangles my nerves

Either they stopped getting notifications or else I fixed it by putting their phone on a soft surface, but it's not buzzing the entire ceiling anymore
