Jo @whimsicalwriter.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Got fired for the first time in my life today. Admittedly the job was not a good fit, but sheesh. I was trying. 020
Jo @whimsicalwriter.bsky.social · 06/03/2025I've been really struggling to do anything creative lately, but I had an idea to fix a timeline issue with my current #wip today. It was encouraging. Every time my writer brain goes silent, I fear it's permanent, so it's always a relief when it eventually trickles back to me. #amwriting 030
Jo @whimsicalwriter.bsky.social · 28/02/2025I love that we're all doing a shopping blackout today. I hope we carry the energy further. I'm going to aim for a week to start.

Jo @whimsicalwriter.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Hoping I'm able to do more this weekend than just sleep. I wish the chronic and mental illness life hadn't chosen me, but here we are.

Jo @whimsicalwriter.bsky.social · 30/01/2025My federal tax return is less than half what it was last year. Last year it was about 1/3 less than the year before. That's shitler's tax plan. I wonder how many raging magats we'll see when they file and find out they're getting less too. Of course they'll blame Biden, but they're stupid so... 000
Jo @whimsicalwriter.bsky.social · 29/01/2025You know what really sucks about capitalism? I really enjoyed being a grocery store cashier when I was younger. I knew what to expect, I was good at it, and I could go home and not stress about work. But it doesn't pay enough to survive so I had to get a "real job" that sucks the life out of me. 000
Jo @whimsicalwriter.bsky.social · 27/01/2025Call me crazy, but I think forehead kisses and a soft gentle hand cupping the face of your love are way more intimate and more romantic than make outs and sex scenes in books.

If the answer is Trump, just say, ‘You’re getting what you voted for.’ Accountability matters. Choices have consequences. Are you not willing to sacrifice for your Lord and savior your Trump? 2190385
Jo @whimsicalwriter.bsky.social · 27/01/2025There are only 2 people from whose lips I've ever enjoyed hearing my legal name. The 1st is my boyfriend who before he died, he would call me "his Genevieve". The 2nd is Julie Andrews singing The Simple Joys of Maidenhood from Camelot. Everyone's name probably sounds better sung by Julie Andrews.media.tenor.coma woman in a long dress is standing in a room with giftsALT: a woman in a long dress is standing in a room with gifts 011

Jo @whimsicalwriter.bsky.social · 21/01/2025I'm still angry that Biden & Kamala just ceded power without questioning it. The peaceful transfer of power to a known fascist that IS NOT A BRAGGING POINT! It is a moral failure in the name of upholding societal norms which are absolutely meaningless in the face of such a threat to our lives. 000
Jo @whimsicalwriter.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Rewatching Bridgerton season 3 today. First time around, Penelope revealing herself as Whistledown felt too forced. But in the 2nd time through, I realized the whole season was about Pen finding her voice, so it fit that she'd be the one to speak up, instead of letting Colin do so like in the books. 020

Jo @whimsicalwriter.bsky.social · 13/01/2025It could be a non-eloquent prophecy perhaps? Maybe the prophet that made it was used to being dismissed and decided to deliver it with snark and a decent amount of cursing and general air of spite?

Jo @whimsicalwriter.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Well, it's Sunday night, and I just wrapped up the first draft of my business contract. Yesterday, I wrote about 4k words in my current #wip. I may still have a chance to cross a few other items of this list, but two isn't bad. 000

Jo @whimsicalwriter.bsky.social · 09/01/2025It's a story about domestic violence and Justin was talking about it as such meanwhile Blake was using it to sell her haircare line and trying to make it her "Barbie" movie. When ppl who knew what the book was about started talking about how crass her behavior was, she started the smear campaign. 110
Jo @whimsicalwriter.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Yeah so the other party is Blake Lively who was his costar in his most recent movie. It's a whole mess. The film was a passion project of Justin's and Blake came in and started throwing around her name/fame to basically steal it from him. 110
Jo @whimsicalwriter.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Yup. He's got receipts and his attorney is bringing them to court. And all the behavior he was accused of is so wildly outside of his established character and morals that anyone who's followed his career flagged all that mess as a smear campaign from the start. 100

Jo @whimsicalwriter.bsky.social · 09/01/2025I hear a lot of murmurs from the #readingcommunity and especially those who read #romance that we really need more stories about folks falling in love beyond their twenties.
