While it's relieving to hear that the Supreme Court denied the request to revisit same sex marriage, there's also an unsettled grief about it being raised to them in the first place.

There are still 37 working days left in 2025 - 58 days total. There's still plenty of time to hit that writing goal & finish that script or book.
3 pages a day - just 750 words a weekday - and you can write a complete script. 4 pages a day - 1000 wds a day - and you can write a novel. You got this.

Cutting the synopsis down from 1200 to 1000 words was agonizing. Should I make a 500 word version or call it good enough?

Someone said that from any Wikipedia article, if you click on the first blue text link of each page, eventually it'll lead to Philosophy, and I've been having a lovely time playing with it (Alchemy -> Philosophy in 15 clicks)

I like to get the hard stuff done and out of the way first, which is why I'm editing this novel synopsis at 8 in the morning.
