Over the past two weeks I have barely written. I can make every excuse under the sun, but the fact is that I have not been intentional with what free time I do have. I suspect I would feel less guilty if I wrote even a few words or edited a sentence or two. Baby steps, I suppose.

I finished the first draft of my #novella. A part of me struggles with the idea of ending it where I have. I suspect going through and working on the second draft will help with some of what I feel are loose ends or ancillary bits.

My feed is all politics lately. I need to engage with more #booksky and #author stuffs. It’s important to stay informed, but this political environment can only be taken in small doses at times.

“Shocking”? Really? Who the hell is shocked at this statement of fact?

This may be a hot take to some, but it seems to me the #Monster shows peaked at the first series. The creative liberties seem to become more and more.

If you haven’t read Nicholas Kaufmann’s *The Hungry Earth*, then that needs to be on your to-read list! Fantastic story, great characters, and some seriously suspenseful moments await you in this wonderful fungal horror!

I love to read and write, but I also love video games. #RuneScapeDragonwilds 1.0 release notes has got me feeling nostalgic in a profound way 😳 #IContaintMultitudes

I need to look at my phone less and open a book more. At times, as I scroll through copious amounts of content, I justify to myself that I’m looking for books to read, ideas to turn into stories, or people to pay attention to because they’re cool. The truth? I’m bored and could be reading a book.

Every news outlet and journalist should be reporting on the blatant lies of this vile, atrocious, pathetic excuse for a bag of bones. Calling him “human” is an insult to humanity.

A little look under the hood as I learn how I will use #Scrivener. I'm a tad inconsistent on word count per chapter, so I may need to re-work a few things. Do you use Scrivener when writing long-form? I like it so far, but look forward to #Proton making improvements to their #ProtonDocs formatting.

My move from #Google to @proton.me has gone very smoothly and I can say there are zero regrets. If you like security, privacy, and telling monopolies what you think with your actions, I highly recommend giving #Proton a look-see.

I’ve begun my move from #Google to #Proton. Top of mind was separating from a monopoly, then enjoying better privacy and security, and lastly is keeping my data protected from AI. So far, Proton has exceeded my expectations! The peace of mind I feel knowing my data is safe is worth every penny.

I certainly don’t have all the information to make a totally informed statement, but I’m gonna say it anyway: the billionaire “space race”, or whatever we’re calling it, is basically a large-scale dick measuring contest and the losers are the average Americans. It’s a disgusting use of funds.

I laid awake last night thinking about my work-in-progress. Is it any good? Am I creating a cohesive story? Will I read through it when I finish and think, “What the hell did I just create?” Heck with it. I’m persevering and we will cross that bridge if we get to it!

“What if no one likes my book?” .. “I’m afraid of what people will think of me!” .. “I’m no [famous author], so why even try?” .. Your story doesn’t need to check a special box. It just wants to exist. Create because you are a creative being, not because you need to prove anything. #author #writing

I’ve started a short story with a female main character. This is my first time writing a female main character. I want to honor women with my writing, but this character is intentionally a bit shallow. As redemption for this story, I have another idea with a main female character that’s a badass!

I’ve set a daily goal to write for 30 minutes. It doesn’t have to be “good” or even necessarily be the same story. Consistency and practice is the primary goal right now.

From “Slavic Spirits and Demons: Tales of Myth, Legend & Faith” by Perun Mountain “The Slavic relationship with nature also exemplifies a sense of reciprocity and balance. Nature was not viewed as a resource to be exploited but as a living, breathing entity to be respected, honored, and protected.”

For the longest time I believed I was not a creative person. When I started writing the stories in my head, I proved to myself that I simply hadn’t explored enough to find my creative outlet.

What is your favorite word processor for writing? I've been using Google Docs, but am starting to wish I hadn't put all of my eggs in that proverbial basket. I am a big fan of encryption, privacy, and an absolute lack of AI.

The fact that journaling can help reduce my stress, frustration, or anxiety is pretty darn cool. Do you like to journal? Do you prefer pen and paper or typing into a word document?

During today's writing session I hit a milestone that I am very proud of: 20,000+ words have been written by these hands and this brain. While I am nowhere near done with my first novel, this is a reminder that it takes grit to achieve a goal. (1/2)

I saw an ad on Reddit for an AI novel writing tool. Of course they exist, and of course I know they exist. The knowledge of their existence does not stifle my disgust or unbridled hatred of them. Anyone that uses AI to create art, in any form, only furthers the destruction of what makes us human.
