Sorting through my cash from yesterday's event. I have a Euro. Did I accidentally put one in when making my float or did someone accidentally pay me with one? No way of knowing, both equally possible.

Goal for today is to finish a piece of flash fiction for an end-of-month deadline. I currently have 1,461 words out of the 1,000 that I need... #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Just taken step one on what is potentially a complete silly venture that may not actually happen. But it is now more than an idle thought, because an email has been sent! #WriteSky

Day 3 of moving the same bits of dialogue into a new order because 1) I can only give it a little bit of time each day right now and 2) they are being a pain in the butt. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

I have seen posts that it is bisexual awareness month and also week. Please confirm how long I am expected to maintain self-awareness for so I can pace accordingly. This is already a significant uptick in bisexual effort from just being visible one day per year. Thanks in advance for your help.

I never thought I'd be glad to see a misplaced apostrophe but today I was. It let me know that what I was reading was written by a shaky, uncertain, but deeply enthusiastic human doing their best rather than bloody AI.

In good news, my book is one year old today AND I got to see it in a bookshop for the first time! In bad news, I have possibly swallowed the ball closure from my lip ring. Overall, marking it down as a good day. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Also an excellent move. Your "friend" could also give those names out to others to name mean characters with. I have sometimes crowd sourced names (given or family only) of someone people don't like to help me name a nasty character.

Haha, nope. It doesn't stand for anything. It's because 'TK' as a combination, in that order, rarely to never occurs in English words, so you can ctlr+f all the things you left to fill in later. I guess 'TBD' would word too and actually does stand for something relevant.

Using the TK trick so I can find things I need to fill in later, and knowing my characters would have different beliefs/things to use as swear words, so my manuscript quite delightfully currently reads: [TKSPACEJESUS!] #WriteSky

Having one of those months where, if it was fiction, I feel like the writer would be told to tone it down. Like, all this stuff happening at once? Kinda unbelievable. Also, a lot of it is really out of nowhere and doesn't seem to go with the main sources of stress/conflict. Yikes. #WriteSky
