This reminds me of the time I kept my mom's cat overnight and she decided in the middle of the night that she needed to get on top of the shower rod. She was less successful than Triscuit.

I love doing this workshop. So awesome to read what writers are doing and help them refine their vision.

Today's executive dysfunction resulted in purchasing two side tables to better fit current needs. (Two totally different tables for different rooms. I feel like I was Extra Dysfunctionally Productive.)

I think millennial means "young person I don't understand" to people older than millennials. I think we're old to all other generations.

Every time I read that as Assigned Cop At Birth. I know it's not that. I try to read it correctly. And yet. Also, give people a freaking seat!

I watched a hockey tonight and the goalie scored. I think this means I have to watch the rest of the season.

I often wind up feeling that way with multiple storyline books. I always tell myself it'll be good when the lines finally cross (usually it is).

Like many a television series, my day yesterday started strong, but fell apart in the back half. Let's see if we can make today go better!

Don't give in! Running anything through the plagiarism machine is a step in the wrong direction.

Good luck! I hope everything works out.

“All right,” she said, and looked at me for what objectively I knew was 2.4 seconds and subjectively about twenty excruciating minutes.

The other day a toddler saw me in a store wearing a mask and proclaimed I am a doctor. Who knew it was that easy?

My favorite thing is when a cat sasses me. It let's me know I am a higher lifeform.

I literally do not care what any airline professional does in their off time, unless it's like, build bombs to put on planes. That would be terrifying. Them wearing fur suits and acting like consenting adults? Not my business or concern.

I want to manipulate time until I think about all the responsibility that comes with that power.

Juggling my 8ish jobs was hitting a struggle so I'm trying a physical to-do list to help satisfy the ADHD half of my brain. The deadline list is still in other places, but hoping this can help day to day with focus and decision fatigue.

Eight colored boxes designating Alli's various jobs. Slips of paper with tasks are inside the boxes.

Thanks to @dmbeucler.bsky.social for a great workshop about writing neurodivergent characters and how that ND behavior can move (and hinder) the plot. #Flights2026

Sometimes she sleeps on the desk. Sometimes she makes executive decisions about whether or not the computer should be on. We'll see what kind of day she's having. 😅

I have a cat in my lap after have her butt in my face. I feel like that's the cat equivalent of moving from online to offline.

My cat is in my lap, which is rare enough to note, but also extremely appreciated because she did not forget me nor hold a grudge that I was away for a week at DragonCon.

Chatting about books is always a good time, but this time in particular let me walk away with a huge list of recommendations, which I've been working through! Currently loving the Bobiverse.

I'm really sorry you're experiencing this. Friends should understand and be supportive through the times when you need to put yourself first. Chronic illness isn't a choice.

I got to hang out with people I genuinely love and met lots of new friends. I missed seeing several people but am reminded that it's a blessing to know so many nerds that it's hard to see everyone!

Alli Martin 📚 @selfwinding.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Another DragonCon in the books! This year was hotter than ever, which encouraged me to reduce my schedule. I know I missed some amazing panels, but considering I was *on* 10 amazing panels, I'm calling that even.

Sometimes DragonCon is luxuriating in the air conditioning while seated and not speaking to anyone.

This feels like rope drop for some Disney/Universal ride that's going to be slammed later in the day.
