I was just reminded of the time I built a time circuit for my buddy.

I just finished the revision of Shards of Shadow 5. It'll be my next release, unless something weird happens. Now for one of my least favorite parts. Picking a name...

Y’all there’s SO MANY struggling artists right now. Please please help if you are in the position to do so. Do some early holiday shopping. Treat yourself to something special. Donate just to keep seeing people create. And don’t forget sharing always helps so much. We are just trying to survive.

There are a lot of things about my brain that I wish I could change. One of the things I feel fortunate about is I'm not really one who is consumed with envy when others succeed. But that doesn't mean that I don't compare myself in ways that are unhealthy.

So Doom Scrolling is a thing, and Hope Scrolling is a thing, but I think Schadenfreude Scrolling is my favorite.

I have done the thing.

I'm watching an Adam Savage video and he's got the holy grail just sitting in the background.

Every now and then, my brain will just feed me a line from a cartoon or a show that was meant to be a tongue twister and I'll just say it out loud as the answer to a question.

What do you want for dinner?

There's a small but real chance that for the next 10 years my job title will just be "Professional Guy Who Tech Bros Stole From"

A local town has a mayor named Tingle, and his preferred candidates in Tuesdays race had a great poster.

It feels genuinely strange to be able to look at social media this evening and not feel my soul curling up like a paper doll in a blast furnace.

A while back, I was lucky enough to get a chance to curate a webcomic bundle for storybundle and this was a key part. It's been a joy seeing these characters in my timeline since then.
Anyway read my comic XD www.supercellcomic.com

I think it might be funny to keep track of the things I've had to look up while writing this novel. Discounting my own established lore, I've looked up:
- The ingredients in green goddess dressing
- How long does it take to make French Bread Pizza

Since NaNoWriMo is No Mo', I'm starting this thread as an accountability thing. I will list how many words I did yesterday, each day, until I hit 50k.

Yesterday I did 5,106 words, for a total of 5,106 in the book so far.

I'm doing this. It's a rare opportunity to see me outside of my loathsome writer-hole.

Based upon the experiences of my friends who write erotica and draw NSFW art, that means payment processors should want to have nothing to do with ChatGPT.

This was open in a tab so I watched it again. Imagine if this song and scene was in Pixar's Cars. The movie's plot is already basically toy story with appliances. This scene with all of the character development of Cars would ruin the psyche of a generation.
So, do they still make children's movies that fill the viewer with unquenchable existential dread? Or was that just for my generation. Youtube just fed this to me and resurfaced some deep psychological scars. Now you can have some too!

I feel an (unearned) special kinship with the Lackadaisy production I skeeted about yesterday. Part of it is because I'm friends with or an acquaintance of may of the people in the production. But also, back when I was rolling in the dough, some of the same people worked on things for me! (1/3)
