I don't doodle on books or on my notes. If I did that, I'd doodle on a piece of paper. Also definitely not my doodle style. Flowers and shapes were always my go to doodles.

In my freshman year of college we read Sappho's fragments/poems. I bought it used. I haven't looked at it in over 10 years but I'm 99% sure I was not the artist from these doodles. I like how I just didn't erase them. The writing is definitely mine though.

There is also a LibreVox recording. Some of the chapters have different narrators. The first few are read dully. I prefer reading because I don't like how narrators read most of the time. However, in terms of accessibility, it's a good and clear recording. It's on Spotify premium and on YouTube.

I've read a fair few Greek myths in different retellings (Percy Jackson's Greek God's, Mythos, Bulfinch, Edith Hamilton) but I think I like James Baldwin' Old Greek Stories my favorite. Probably because he wrote them as "simply as stories". (It's in public domain and free)

I need to scale back because I'm doing that thing when I get overwhelmed and just do nothing. I need to reread the 44 chapters left of my fic. I haven't written a whole chapter in like 3 years. So maybe the goal in November is to just get out a real chapter (~4,000 words)

Fanfiction is writing and I will die on this hill. I have a whole 200,000+ words plot that is not in the show. I've taken the characters and background and expanded it. I spent a lot of work on it. I have pages of notes on plot, character arc, and theme. People also like reading it so that's a bonus

Also I have a brain injury and it taken me almost 3 years to get back to writing this.

So preptober without the official nanowrimo but there's Nano 2.0 and ProWritingAid doing it, and there's other. Finally re-reading my 56 chapters fic since almost 4 years because I got hit by a car. I'm making a summary of each chapter.

Library haul. There's a row of books that you can buy for a $1, so I got Ulysses for a dollar.

(The Golem's Eye, Bartimaeus #2 is also in the picture off to the side. Not from the library)

No one should be bringing people into the world until the already existing children are cared for. No one should bring into this shit hole. (I mean in, reality this doesn't fly for so many reasons and I understand that. But it did say extreme opinion lmao)

If anyone is going to a No Kings protest, DO NOT REGISTER ONLINE. That's not how protest works and don't willingly give your information online. You don't know who is looking. I think a lot of people are new to protesting but it is weird to register a protest. Don't do it.

Drug commercials are like this will cure your problem but only after your teeth turn blue, then fall out, and your head is transformed into a minotaur, and maybe you can get that reversed if you go through a labyrinth with a spool of string and find your way out, but buy my product

I knew one day I'd have to watch
Powerful men burn the world down
I just didn't expect them to be such losers

I have never seen submission
Embodied half so well
As in the feeble competition
Between men with souls to sell

Are any organizations holding some sort of nanowrimo this year? Please share them if so. (How the hell are we already in October?)

Me trying to practice my Spanish by watching Hell's Kitchen in Spanish but they talk too fast and most of the time everyone is screaming so I can't pick out the words 😂

Gremmie looks like I made him read through the comment sections about Tylenol. Or me after reading the news.

Also to be clear, the writing hasn't been modified. It's more the packaging is different, like covers and book size. I read it last year the first time so I was an adult reading it.

(Bulfinch's is abridged, unfortunately, but I got it from a library sale for $1. That's why the cover is messed up. The pages are so old but in great condition. And sprayed edges from the 60s?)

I want to read all of them. I've started all of them. (Electra and Other Plays were started in July and then I took a break on it. So only 3 recently.)

I also want to watch Hell's Kitchen. I don't understand why I like it so much. This is like the perpetual ADHD problem.
